I've been a linux server admin for almost 20 years but I've never been able to fully switch from Windows for my daily driver. With all the Windows 11 bullshit I want desperately to switch but I feel like I can't win with a desktop distro. I've had nothing but issues related to hardware/drivers with each distro I've tried.
Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop 43 has given me the most luck but it's left me with one glaring issue which has me writing this post from Windows - how the fuck do I configure the OS to wake the monitors properly after going to sleep? If my monitors go black either from display sleep, OS sleep, or OS hibernation, the system can wake just fine but the displays show no detected input. I've tried both the open and proprietary nvidia drivers with no luck. I've also configured s2idle as the only sleep configuration and while it sometimes allows the monitors to wake without issue, it doesn't always work.
Am I just missing something? Is there a different distro I should try? I've now been through Manjaro, Fedora, Ubuntu, Pop_os, Arch, and Kali with nothing fully working for my hardware.
Really feeling like I should just give up and give it another few years and try again - any advise otherwise? I'd really really like to abandon microslop.

Hi,\
I am looking for a PIM that would allow me when I create an event in the calendar to link it to local contacts.
Therefore after when I open the card of a contact I could list all the events linked to that contact and also all the notes, tasks or whatever.
This was easily done in Microsoft Outlook 2007 !\
Do you know any Linux PIM software that can do the same ? and if not natively in GUI then trough CLI?
Or do you know where to look for?
Thanks.
Thanks @wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works

PipeWire 1.6 open-source server for handling audio/video streams and hardware on Linux is now available for download with new features.Marcus Nestor (9to5Linux)

Pipewire is sick, I love it.
pipewire + Carla + LSP = easy, powerful DSP for both your inputs and outputs. Just a multiband compressor and parametric EQ do wonders for headphones and speakers
Thanks for the tip, I didn't know of it, but if I'm not mistaken it doesn't load LV2/VST3 natively? If I have my Carla session open it shows the plugins, but I can't open their UIs, and I don't see a way to add them if it's not loaded. Plus it's a JACK client, not Pipewire from what I can tell. So neat tool but not a 1:1 replacement 😀 I also don't think automatic connections would work for me as some of my patches have sidechains.
My biggest gripe with Carla was indeed that it holds the internal connections between plugins but doesn't autoconnect applications, so whenever you change patches or pause your streaming client for more than 15s you need to tell it to connect again. So my current setup is one big "master patch" with several chains inside, that end in a 4-channel A/B switcher I use to change between the headphone and speaker chains for example, plus a simple bash script that loops forever (sleeping if everything is ok) and does some pw-link calls. It ended up being a lot less janky than I was expecting tbh 😁 (happy to share if anyone is interested)
Packet loss concealment sounds hilarious without context 😁
What's even the point of TCP? Just use UDP with PLC!

In the fast-paced and often high-pressure environment of a modern city-state, finding a sustainable balance between physical health and mental well-being is a priority for many. Residents frequently search for taekwondo classes as a way to escape the monotony of the traditional gym and engage in a practice that offers both technical skill and philosophical depth. At OP Academy, we recognise that the journey of self-improvement is most effective when it is shared with a supportive community. This is the primary reason our first beginner Taekwondo classes cost nothing. We want to invite you to experience the unique atmosphere of our dojang, meet our dedicated instructors, and see how our curriculum can be tailored to your specific goals. Our complimentary professional Taekwondo class Singapore trial experience is designed to be an open door for anyone curious about the transformative power of this ancient art.
Key Takeaways:
When people in Singapore look to elevate their fitness standards, they often weigh the pros and cons of various activities, from group HIIT sessions to swimming lessons Singapore. While many sports provide excellent conditioning, taekwondo classes offer a unique form of functional fitness that focuses on the full range of human movement. A typical session involves dynamic stretching, explosive power drills, and the refined control needed for technical patterns. This variety ensures that the body is challenged in multiple planes of motion, which is essential for maintaining a healthy and resilient physique. The mental focus required to execute these movements also provides a powerful form of stress relief, helping practitioners to clear their minds and stay grounded.
The versatility of the training is one of its greatest assets. For those who are just entering adulthood and might wonder, Can I start Taekwondo at 18? The answer is that it is an ideal time to begin a practice that will support you for decades. The physical literacy and core strength gained in the dojang are also highly beneficial for those who eventually intend to learn Krav Maga Singapore. By mastering the fundamentals of striking and body alignment early on, you build a foundation that makes any subsequent defensive training more intuitive and effective. This long-term perspective on health and safety is why taekwondo for kids Singapore and adult programmes remain such a vital part of our local community.
A high-quality martial arts education is built on the mastery of the basics. This is why, regardless of rank, every student continues to refine their Taekwondo stances. These positions are the roots of the art, providing the necessary stability to generate power and the mobility to respond to an opponent. In our academy, we believe that technical precision is not just about aesthetics; it is about safety and efficiency. A student who understands how to align their body correctly is far less likely to suffer from joint strain or injury. This professional focus on body mechanics is a hallmark of every Singapore Taekwondo academy, with numerous locations.
By emphasising these foundational skills, we teach our students the value of patience and the rewards of meticulous practice. In our taekwondo for kids Singapore classes, we use these technical drills to help children develop a sense of pride in their craftsmanship. Whether they are training at Yishun Sunshine or a branch closer to the city centre, the standard of excellence remains the same. We want every student to understand that a black belt is a symbol of a journey that began with the simple, humble mastery of how to stand and move with purpose. This disciplined approach to learning is a primary reason why beginner Taekwondo for adults is so highly regarded as a tool for personal development.
One of the most inspiring aspects of martial arts is that it is truly a lifelong pursuit. The dojang is one of the few places where you might see a young child, a university student, and a retiree all working toward their own version of excellence under the same roof. Beginner Taekwondo for adults provides a challenging yet welcoming environment for those looking to start a new chapter in their fitness journey. Similarly, our Taekwondo for seniors programme focuses on maintaining the mobility, balance, and cognitive sharpness that are essential for a high quality of life in later years. By offering multiple Singapore Taekwondo academy locations, we ensure that this inclusive community is accessible to everyone.
The sense of community we foster is the reason our first beginner Taekwondo classes cost nothing. We want you to feel the support of our instructors and the camaraderie of your fellow students from day one. Many parents who initially come for a free introductory Taekwondo for kids Singapore session booking for their children find themselves so impressed by the culture that they eventually join the mats themselves. There is a special bond that forms between people who face challenges and grow together. This social connection is a key component of mental health, providing a sense of belonging that extends far beyond the physical training.
The true measure of a martial artist is found in their character. Every taekwondo class session in Singapore is an opportunity to reinforce the five tenets: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit. These principles serve as a guide for how to navigate the complexities of the modern world with grace and strength. We teach our students that the discipline they show on the mats should be reflected in how they treat their families, how they approach their work, and how they contribute to society.
For parents, a free introductory Taekwondo for kids Singapore session booking is the start of a partnership in raising a resilient and principled child. We provide a structured environment where children learn that failure is simply a stepping stone to success and that self-control is the greatest form of power. This holistic approach ensures that our students are not just physically capable, but emotionally intelligent and morally grounded. By choosing to train with us, you are choosing a path that values the development of the whole person, helping you and your family to face the future with an indomitable spirit.
In conclusion, the decision to embark on a martial arts journey is an investment in a healthier, more confident, and more disciplined future. It is a choice to step away from the ordinary and strive for something extraordinary. By taking advantage of a complimentary professional Taekwondo class Singapore trial experience at OP Academy, you are giving yourself the best possible start. The skills and values you acquire—from the technical mastery of taekwondo classes to the unwavering resilience of the five tenets—will empower you in every area of your life.
Whether your goal is to eventually learn Krav Maga Singapore, improve your physical condition alongside swimming lessons Singapore, or simply find a place where you can grow alongside like-minded individuals, we invite you to join us. Our professional instructors are here to guide you, and our community is ready to welcome you. Your first step toward a more vibrant and purposeful life starts with a single free session. We look forward to seeing you on the mats soon and helping you discover the person you are capable of becoming.

Just wanted to share an alias I have in use and found it useful again. It's a simple wrapper around xargs, which I always forget how to use properly, so I set up an alias for. All it does is operate on each line on stdout.
The arguments are interpreted as the command to execute. The only thing to remember is using the {} as a placeholder for the input line. Look in the examples to understand how its used.
# Pipe each line and execute a command. The "{}" will be replaced by the line.
#
# Example:
# cat url.txt | foreach echo download {} to directory
# ls -1 | foreach echo {}
# find . -maxdepth 2 -type f -name 'M*' | foreach grep "USB" {}
alias foreach='xargs -d "\n" -I{}'
xargs. The most common case for it is find, but it is easier to use its -exec option. Also, with find your example is incorrect. You forgot that file names can contain special characters, the newline character in particular. That's why you need to pass -print0 option to find and -0 option to xargs.
The marketing galleries are stunning. Complexions transformed in mere weeks. Pigmentation disorders that resisted everything finally cleared. Textural damage that appeared permanent now smooth and refined. Walk into any aesthetic clinic and the promotional displays make Pico laser treatment appear as the definitive modern solution for compromised skin. The technology isn't imaginary—it represents verified medical advancement. But the conversation is strategically curated, excluding inconvenient complexities that might complicate your purchasing decision.
Here's the disclosure that rarely accompanies the consultation.
Pico laser platforms operate by delivering energy pulses measured in picoseconds—one-trillionth of a second. This extraordinary rapidity creates a photoacoustic effect rather than pure thermal destruction. In practical application, pigment particles fragment through mechanical pressure waves instead of sustained heat exposure. This distinction matters profoundly because thermal damage historically caused post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, the devastating complication that limited older nanosecond laser safety for melanin-rich populations.
Scientific validation exists. Peer-reviewed research documents Pico laser treatment effectiveness for tattoo elimination, melasma management, solar lentigines, and selected acne scarring patterns. However, "effectiveness" encompasses wide clinical variation, a range that marketing departments tend to present uniformly toward the favorable extreme.
The aesthetic clinic script is remarkably uniform: "three to five sessions and you'll see dramatic results." Occasionally accurate for simple, superficial concerns on pale skin. Melasma operates by entirely different biological rules. This multifactorial condition involving hormonal, genetic, and UV components doesn't resolve in convenient quarterly packages. Three treatments often represents opening moves, not endgame.
A rigorous 2020 meta-analysis in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology confirmed that melasma recurrence persists at troubling rates regardless of laser sophistication. The fundamental limitation: lasers destroy pigment already present without touching the biological machinery producing it.
Skip your SPF 50 for a single afternoon, ignore your hormonal triggers, and the pigmentation returns. Maintenance becomes permanent—a predictable trajectory rarely priced into initial quotes.
For acne scarring, genuine improvement requires extended commitment. Clinically significant texture change typically emerges after four to eight sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. That's six to twelve months of treatment, not a quick seasonal fix. Recalculate costs across realistic timeframes, and the financial picture changes considerably.
Pico laser technology is aggressively marketed as "safe for every skin type."
Compared to ablative CO2 lasers, this holds relative truth. But safety operates on spectrum, not as binary condition. Fitzpatrick types IV through VI (rich brown through deep ebony skin) retain genuine PIH vulnerability when energy settings are miscalibrated or operators lack melanin-specific expertise.
The critical variable is the human holding the handpiece, not the brand on the device. Pico laser treatment performed by clinicians with deep experience across diverse phototypes, individually calibrating fluence and wavelength, produces beautiful outcomes. Identical equipment in inexperienced hands creates complications including blistering and permanent hypopigmentation. The certificate on the wall means little without knowing the operator's specific training history.
During your aesthetic clinic consultation, demand specifics: How many patients with your exact skin depth have they personally treated? Can they demonstrate photographic evidence? If they hedge or appear uncomfortable, you've gathered valuable intelligence about their actual experience level.
"Minimal downtime" is the industry standard. Compared to aggressive resurfacing, this contains validity. But minimal isn't none, and there's wild variation between individuals and sessions.
Most experience flushing lasting several hours to a full day. Some get pinpoint bleeding or fine crusting for three to five days. Eye-area swelling can be surprisingly dramatic. And here's what nobody tells first-timers: you don't know your own reaction pattern yet. Scheduling important life events within forty-eight hours of initial Pico laser treatment is a gamble that aesthetic clinic staff routinely understate.
The post-treatment vigilance period gets even less airtime. For two to four weeks after each session, your skin is photosensitive at levels you've never experienced. One sunscreen failure during this window—one afternoon of forgetfulness—and you've funded your own pigmentation problem. That responsibility is yours alone, but its weight isn't always clearly transferred.
Pico laser isn't a generic category. Major players include Picosure (Cynosure), Enlighten (Cutera), PicoWay (Candela), and Discovery PICO (Quanta). They differ in wavelength options, pulse durations, spot sizes, and specialized handpieces.
When an aesthetic clinic says they have "the latest Pico laser," they've said almost nothing. What matters is whether their device has the right wavelength for your specific issue. The 1064nm wavelength goes deep for dermal pigmentation; 532nm hits superficial red and brown spots. Some machines have fractional lenses for texture work; others don't. These distinctions determine your outcome, yet clinics present their device as all-capable without explaining the engineering specifics.
Pico laser treatment is contraindicated for pregnant patients, anyone on isotretinoin (or who recently finished), people with active skin infections or cold sores in the treatment zone, and certain autoimmune skin conditions. Recent tanning also precludes treatment, making summer scheduling in sunny climates logistically challenging.
Photosensitizing drugs—including some antibiotics, blood pressure medications, and even certain supplements—must be disclosed. A responsible aesthetic clinic asks comprehensively about your medical history and medications before scheduling. If they don't, that's a process gap worth noting.
##The Honest Verdict
Pico laser is a real, well-studied therapeutic tool. For the right person, treated by skilled hands, it achieves what was impossible ten years ago. The technology genuinely moves dermatology forward for pigmentation and texture concerns.
But it's management, not magic. It requires maintenance, sun discipline, patience with timelines, and a clinician who truly knows your skin. The aesthetic clinic that tells you all of this upfront—including that you might need more sessions than initially expected—is treating you with respect. The one leading with the three-session guarantee and the wall of dramatic transformations is optimizing for their revenue, not your outcome.
Go in prepared. Know that results accumulate, sometimes more slowly than the pitch suggests. Ask about the operator's specific experience, not just the machine's brand. And if you're promised perfection in a fixed number of sessions with no caveats, bring skepticism.
The laser works. The conversation around it needs work.

Cunoștințele pe care le deținem la un anumit moment reprezintă o construcție dinamică, influențată de experiențele noastre, educație, mediul înconjurător și evoluția tehnologică. Acestea sunt, în esență, o colecție de informații, abilități și înțelegeri pe care le-am acumulat în timp și care ne permit să navigăm în lumea înconjurătoare. În epoca modernă, volumul de cunoștințe crește exponențial, ceea ce face ca procesul de învățare și actualizare să fie continuu și complex. În plus, modul în care percepem și valorificăm aceste cunoștințe influențează în mod direct felul în care ne raportăm la realitate și la ceilalți.
Psihologia lumii moderne a cunoașterii se concentrează pe modul în care informația este procesată, stocată și utilizată în societățile contemporane. O componentă esențială a acestei perspective este recunoașterea faptului că cunoașterea nu este statică, ci un proces dinamic, în care noi selectăm și interpretăm datele în funcție de context, de valorile personale și de influențele culturale. De exemplu, în era digitală, accesul rapid la informație a schimbat modul în care învățăm, deoarece suntem expuși unui volum imens de date, pe care trebuie să îl filtrăm și să îl evaluăm critic.
Un aspect important al psihologiei moderne a cunoașterii este fenomenul de „societate a informației”, unde fluxul constant de date și cunoștințe poate duce la supraîncărcare cognitivă. Aceasta poate afecta capacitatea noastră de concentrare, de a procesa și de a păstra informațiile utile. În același timp, tehnologiile digitale au facilitat accesul la cunoștințe, dar au și adus cu sine provocări legate de dezinformare, manipulare și pierderea înțelegerii profunde a subiectelor complexe. Astfel, psihologia modernă studiază atât avantajele, cât și riscurile asociate cu această revoluție informațională.
De asemenea, în lumea modernă, cunoașterea este adesea percepută ca o resursă strategică, utilizată în domenii diverse precum afaceri, știință, politică sau educație. În acest context, competența de a evalua și de a integra informațiile devine crucială. Psihologia cunoașterii explorează procesele cognitive implicate în învățare, precum memoria, atenția, gândirea critică și rezolvarea problemelor, oferindu-ne înțelegeri despre modul în care putem optimiza aceste abilități pentru a face față provocărilor lumii moderne.
Un alt aspect relevant este influența tehnologiei asupra modului în care ne formăm și consolidăm cunoștințele. Digitalizarea și internetul au democratizat accesul la informație, însă au generat și o schimbare în comportamentul nostru cognitiv, precum și în modul în care construim înțelegeri. În plus, există riscul de a ne baza excesiv pe surse externe, ceea ce poate duce la pierderea abilității de a gândi critic și de a analiza în profunzime. În acest sens, psihologia cunoașterii devine un instrument pentru a înțelege și a gestiona aceste transformări, promovând o învățare conștientă și responsabilă.
În concluzie, cunoștințele pe care le deținem la un moment dat sunt rezultatul unui proces complex, influențat de mediul social, cultural și tehnologic. Psihologia lumii moderne a cunoașterii ne oferă perspective valoroase asupra modului în care percepem, procesăm și utilizăm aceste informații, în contextul unei societăți caracterizate de un flux constant de date. Într-o lume în continuă schimbare, înțelegerea acestor procese devine esențială pentru dezvoltarea personală și pentru adaptarea la noile cerințe ale vieții moderne. Astfel, cunoașterea nu mai este doar o acumulare de informații, ci un proces conștient de interpretare și de responsabilitate față de propria înțelegere a lumii.

Every web designer has been there. The client, armed with advice from a 2008 marketing book, leans in and says: "We need all the key information visible immediately. People don't scroll down websites."
It sounds reasonable. It carries the weight of publishing history. And it has been leading website decisions astray for over twenty years.
Time to end this conversation.
"Above the fold" describes how newspapers work. Folded in half on the stand, the top section gets seen first. The bottom section stays hidden until someone picks it up and opens it.
Web designers borrowed this idea in the late 1990s because they had to. Screens were small. Resolutions were fixed at 640×480. Browsers took up huge chunks of the viewport. You were working with maybe 400 pixels of height. Prioritizing what showed up first was simply dealing with reality.
But that reality ended in 1998. The web has changed just a bit since then.
Nielsen Norman Group's early research on scrolling still gets misquoted today. "Users don't scroll" became the popular takeaway. What they actually found: users scroll constantly—when the page gives them a reason.
That difference is crucial.
A 2018 NN/g study found mobile users scroll 57% of the time. Chartbeat looked at 25 million sessions and found that serious attention happens below the fold—not above it. The data keeps telling us the same story, but the myth persists.
Mobile traffic seals the argument. In 2026, phones and tablets drive the majority of web visits. On a mobile screen, the fold concept is meaningless. Every page is a scrolling experience. Every web designer building mobile-first—which should be everyone—already works in a world where the fold doesn't exist.
Here's what the research actually shows: people make instant decisions about whether a page is worth their time. That decision happens based on what they see first. But "worth my time" doesn't mean "shows me everything at once." It means the page quickly signals value, clarity, and relevance.
This is a completely different design challenge than stuffing content above some invisible line.
A professional web design agency understands this distinction. The goal isn't cramming everything into the first screen. It's making that first screen do one specific job: tell people what this page is about and why they should stay. Clear headlines. Focused value statements. Visual hierarchy that feels intentional. Those things earn the scroll.
What actually hurts engagement is the "false bottom"—a big image, a heavy banner, or awkward spacing that makes users think the page ends. That's a real UX problem.
But the fix is designing better continuation cues, not eliminating scrolling.
There's a technical angle that web designers need to know: Core Web Vitals.
Google now factors Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) into rankings—how fast the main content loads and becomes visible. This is Google's nod to "above the fold," but for speed reasons, not because of some engagement rule. Slow-loading top sections create bad user experiences.
So yes, what loads first matters for performance. Heavy images, blocking scripts, and oversized hero videos up top will hurt your LCP and your rankings. A web design agency that doesn't optimize for this is leaving search visibility on the table.
But this is about loading speed, not fold position. You fix it by compressing assets, using modern formats, and deferring non-critical scripts. Not by jamming a dozen calls-to-action into 600 pixels.
The shift in how smart web designers think about page structure:
When a client asks "is this above the fold?" what they're really asking is: "Will people engage with this and take action?"
If the answer is yes, fold position doesn't matter. People will scroll because the page is working.
If the answer is no, moving content up won't fix it. A confusing page doesn't become clear because you pushed things higher. It just becomes a confusing page that shows up sooner.
Web designers have known this for years. The best ones stopped designing to a fold long ago and started designing to actual user behavior—what people really do, not what a 1998 assumption said they'd do.
Above-the-fold still matters for a few things: first impressions, load performance, and LCP scores. Those are real concerns.
But the idea that content below the fold is wasted, or that users won't scroll unless forced? That's the myth. And in 2026, with mobile interfaces built for scrolling, long-form content everywhere, and data that keeps proving it wrong, it's time to stop letting this drive how we structure pages.
Build for clarity. Build for momentum. Build for user intent.
The fold will take care of itself.

This started happening a few months ago, I would be minding my own Ubuntu business and then suddenly I can't left click.
After much digging and stupid AI querying, I added something to disabled power management to my boot sequence. That seems to minimize the problems but I still get the problem every 5 minutes or so.
To temporarily fix the problem I Ctrl-alt F3 then F2 to come back to. GNOME.
I tried with a mint usb and I got the same problem. I thought it was then maybe a mouse problem but the pointer does the same no matter what mouse I use and every mouse I tested worked fine on another Ubuntu of the same release. So I think maybe it is some sort of hardware and driver combination and to power management.
I see lots of posts of past years but nothing more recently, but no real solutions or explanations for what might be happening.
Okay looks like a start up script will be the thing to do next.
like this
/etc/default/grub. Find the line that says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, uncomment it if necessary, and add your kernel parameter to it (mine has GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_enforce_resources=lax", for historical reasons). Then run grub-mkconfig with appropriate arguments to regenerate your grub configuration.
Google " add kernel parameter". Likely Grub in your case.
Although this boot parameter is merely a workaround. I've had some issues with the flat metallic Kinston thumbdrives getting filesystem corruption, because they overheat and quickly dis/reconnect even with working powersaving. Not that this must happen to you, but all i'm saying is that you still better find the root cause or get another mouse.
So I created a service and a timer. the service is supposed to kill the mouse:
mouse-refresh.service
[Unit]Description=Refresh Logitech mouse event2
[Service]Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'udevadm trigger --sysname-match=event2 --action=change'
the timer trigers it every 5 minutes
[Unit]Description=Refresh mouse every 5 minutes on desktop
Requires=graphical-session.target
[Timer]OnUnitActiveSec=5m
Persistent=true
[Install]WantedBy=graphical-session.target
but then I realized that it doesn't work.
sudo udevadm trigger --sysname-match=event2 --action=change doesn't do it but
sudo udevadm trigger seems to work. however I have stuff on the USB system that I don't want to be resetting every 5 minutes.
I also added the thing to the grub startup:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash threadirqs usbcore.autosuspend=-1"
it doesn't seem to do the job. only ctrl-alt F3 then ctrl-alt F2 does it. frustrated but continuing with
sudo udevadm trigger for now

Huit comédiens de doublage ont adressé des mises en demeure à deux sociétés américaines d’intelligence artificielle accusées de reproduire et utiliser leurs voix sans autorisation. L'IA est l'une des plus grandes menaces pour les doubleurs, de plus en plus d'outils qui permettent de traduire avec une voix générée par IA mais aussi de reproduire illégalement des voix connues. 15 000 emplois sont menacés en France. Pour en parler, Amine Snoussi reçoit Louis Lecordier, comédien de doublage et membre de l'association Les Voix mais aussi l'une des plus grandes comédiennes de doublage en France, Brigitte Lecordier.

In this classic work, Friedrich Engels lays out the basics of the Marxist understanding of capitalism.
Marxism is not a doctrine that came out of nowhere, he explains, but a theory based on the movement of the working class against its exploitation and oppression at the hands of the capitalists.
Engels sketches the history of socialist thought prior to Karl Marx. He outlines how Marxism goes beyond simply imagining a better world by investigating the dynamics of capitalism, and building a case for the ability of workers themselves to build a new society.
The ideas that are expressed in the essay have a very thorough economic contemplation about them as he put aside some of his materialist conceptions of history for the time being. This essay did, however, start to show an increased scientific rationale on his ideas of "alienated labor," which in Marx’s perspective would eventually lead to the proletarian revolution.
Wage-Labor and Capital is considered by Marxists as an "in-depth economic and scientific observation on how capitalist economy works, why it was exploitative, and ultimately why it would eventually implode from within".
Some of the main topics that the essay examines are about labour power and labour, and how labour power becomes a commodity. It also presents the Labour Theory of Value that further develops the distinct differences between labour and labour power. The essay also examines the commodity and how the economic principles of supply and demand affect the pricing of certain commodities. Beyond that the essay explores how capital and capitalism do not service any purpose other than to gain more of it, which Marx presents as an illogical method of living one’s life.

A: This is a basic course on understanding the fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism. It is aimed at 20 hours of active reading time, so that it may be completed in 1 month reading at a pace of 30 minutes to an hour a day.
A: This guide is for those who want a guided course on Marxism and Marxism-Leninism, and have not engaged with the material before and don't know where to start. It is also for those who wish to revisit the fundamentals and check for cracks in knowledge.
A: I made this guide because the older advanced course is too lengthy for many people to follow through, yet not complex enough for many advanced readers. The solution is to reformat the old guide and release this "short course," fulfilling both purposes.
A: This guide is intended to be followed in order, without skipping anything. It builds up from the foundations, and prepares you for the more advanced works later in the guide. It also serves as an excellent primer for the advanced course.
A: I recommend reading at the same time, consistently, making it a part of your routine. It works even better if you can gather some like-minded comrades and form a study-circle, so that you can speak your thoughts and criticisms aloud. This isn't strictly necessary, though, and reading on your own when your mind is fresh will get you great results.
::: spoiler Introduction [~30 min]
Before beginning your studies, it's important to learn how to best economize our time, and why we should study Marxism-Leninism in the first place.
Written by one of the founding Bolsheviks for students in the early USSR, this is a concise guide on how to best absorb the information to come as efficiently as possible by Nadezhda Krupskaya.
Wanting to persuade his contemporaries to pursue a path of intentional development in order to avoid nuclear war and escape the profit motive, Einstein argues the case for moving onto a planned and collectivized economy over the chaos of markets and the profit motive.
Roderic Day makes his case for why now, in the 21st century, Marxism-Leninism remains the strongest tool for working-class liberation, and why we should defend the achievements of actually existing socialism.
:::
::: spoiler Fundamentals [~1.5 hr]
To start off your studies, a clear understanding of basic terminology, as well as the historical context that gave rise to Marxism, is necessary.
A glossary of terms and background information, in an FAQ format.
Lenin, as a part of his rigorous studies of Marx and his writings for application in the conditions particular to his contemporary conditions, came to know and understand Marx and his ideology at a deeper level.
Outlaying the 3 major components of Marxism, and a short history of how they came to be.
:::
::: spoiler Philosophy [~2.5 hr]
In order to better understand the later sections, we must understand Marx's materialist outlook and dialectical method.
A clear summarization of the fundamental components describing the materialist outlook, the dialectical method, and applying both to analyze the arc of history.
One of the best primers on the Marxist-Leninist theory of the unity of theory and practice to inform correct understanding.
Mao explores and elaborates on one of the most fundamental concepts in dialectical materialism, the contradiction.
:::
::: spoiler Political Economy [~1.5 hr]
Using your newfound tool of dialectical materialism, let's explore capitalism, it's contradictions, and the class struggle between laborers and exploiters.
Delivered as a speech to workers, Marx explains the fundamental struggle between labor and capital under capitalism.
Nia Frome, taking inspiration from Marx's Inferno, summarizes the key points of Capital Volume 1.
:::
::: spoiler Scientific Socialism [~4.5 hr]
We must now move on to socialism, not as it exists purely in our heads, but as it comes into being as a consequence of human development and progression via contradictions in capitalism and the class struggle.
Engels shows how the creation of dialectical materialism, and its application to social development, turned socialism from a practice of "utopia building" into a rigorous science.
Lenin concretely explains the Marxist theory of the state, revolution, and how the state is to wither away.
:::
::: spoiler Imperialism [~3.5 hr]
Marxism lives on beyond Marx, but conditions have changed. Marxists have been carrying forward his work to use dialectical materialism in a new context, as capitalism transforms into its imperialist stage.
The clearest explanation of imperialism, its origins, and its behavior today. As the principle contradiction the world over, understanding imperialism, how it works, and how we can end it forever is at the core of organizing work today.
Lenin did not live to see the consolidation of imperialism into a single international dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, helmed by the US Empire. Cheng Enfu carries Lenin's analysis forward, to the modern era of moribund neoimperialism.
:::
::: spoiler Leninism [~4.5 hr]
[Insert Image]
Leninism is where Lenin carried forward Marx's analysis to the age of imperialism, as well as the strategies and tactics of the Marxist-Leninist party and organization.
Putting Lenin in his proper context, and not simply trying to find ready-made solutions in Lenin's works, is how to properly apply his method to our present conditions.
Leninism, it's historical origins, and its strategy and tactics, stance on nationalism vs internationalism, the role of the peasantry, and more.
The abridged version was chosen for its clarity, and for bringing its most relevant bits to the modern day. The full original is much longer, and requires much more historical context, but is linked in audiobook form.
Lenin outlines the most pressing stances for the communists to take, and contrasts them with incorrect positions such as "economism" and "adventurism." Useful for avoiding pitfalls in organizing work to this day.
:::
::: spoiler Social Liberation [~1.5 hr]
[Insert Image]
This is a grand struggle, for the liberation of all oppressed people.
As one of the founding members of the Black Panther Party, Huey P. Newton understood very well the importance of recognizing progressive social stuggle as deeply connected to the class struggle.
As one of the leading Bolsheviks, Kollontai had a deep understanding of Marxism-Leninism as she applied it to the struggle for women's liberation.
Leslie Feinberg struggled for queer rights as a Marxist for decades, elaborating in this work on the importance of extending social recognition and support to gender-queer struggles.
:::
::: spoiler Conclusion
Congratulations on completing the course! For further reading, see the advanced course. With the fundamentals and core under your belt, you can skip around the advanced course and use it more modularly, or you can go through the full advanced course from the beginning to advance to a higher level of understanding.
Make sure to get organized, as well. It is not enough to merely read theory, you must put it to practice. Serve the people! Build up your community! Educate, agitate, and organize! You're more than ready to do so at this point, so try to develop yourself and apply your unique skills and talents to the broader class struggle.
We will win!

my workflow does not work at all with the secondary screen switching in sync with the primary screen
Same here. My workaround so far has been to put the windows that belong on the secondary to the "Keep Window on All Desktops" mode.
Yeah, I've done that occasionally, too, but it adds a load of friction for moving windows between screens, in particular also when un-/replugging the screen, so it's still painful enough that I don't bother with a second screen.
I guess, it also plays a role that I do use lots of workspaces, so it's 1) extra painful and 2) I don't have as big of a need for a second screen, since I can just switch out what first screen displays very quickly.

The efficiency of a modern commercial facility depends on more than just the speed of its internet; it relies on the physical integrity of the wires that connect every device. As organisations in Singapore transition toward integrated security and smart building management, the importance of a well-planned data backbone has become central to business continuity. This is where professional network cabling in Singapore plays a vital role, transforming a collection of separate devices into a unified, high-performance ecosystem. By moving away from unorganised, ad-hoc wiring and adopting a standardised approach, businesses can ensure their security, communication, and digital systems function with the reliability required for a professional environment.
Key Takeaways:
In a competitive market, network cabling in Singapore is the fundamental lifeline for both daily operations and long-term security. Unlike traditional point-to-point wiring, where each device is connected individually without a master plan, a professional installation follows a structured architecture. This method organises all building connections at a central point—typically a server room or data centre—and then routes them neatly to various endpoints such as workstations, security readers, and cameras.
This level of organisation is essential for maintaining consistent performance. When cables are added over time without a clear method, the resulting "spaghetti network" can lead to overheating, signal degradation, and accidental disconnections. By establishing a neat and logical layout from the start, businesses ensure that their IT infrastructure is never a limiting factor for growth or security.
The reliability of a smart security system is directly tied to the quality of the network cabling in Singapore that supports it. For a door access system or a CCTV network to be effective, data must travel instantly from the peripheral device to the central controller. Professional installers prioritise data integrity by using high-grade shielded cables (such as Cat6 or Cat7) that are resistant to electromagnetic interference.
In environments where many electronic devices are operating simultaneously, unshielded cables can suffer from packet loss, causing delays in door release or glitches in video recording. Professionals ensure that data paths are strategically placed to avoid interference from power lines and other machinery. This precision guarantees that the security network remains responsive and provides clear, high-definition footage for investigations when it matters most.
One of the most practical advantages of professional network cabling in Singapore is the ease of maintaining the system over several years. In a disorganised setup, identifying a single faulty wire can be a time-consuming process that often results in more problems. A structured system solves this through meticulous labelling and documentation.
Every data point and cable run is recorded in a site map, allowing IT teams or security technicians to go directly to the source of a problem. This clarity reduces the time and cost associated with repairs and ensures that business operations resume as quickly as possible. For companies that rely heavily on cloud-based tools and real-time monitoring, this reduced downtime is a significant financial benefit.
Operating a commercial facility involves adhering to strict local regulations regarding electrical safety and building codes. Professional network cabling in Singapore ensures that all wiring is installed using fire-rated materials and proper trunking to protect against environmental damage and tampering. This is particularly important for security systems that must be integrated with the building’s fire alarm for emergency door release.
Failing to meet these standards can lead to insurance complications and safety hazards such as overheating or tripping. Experienced installers provide the necessary certifications and documentation for audits, giving business owners peace of mind that their infrastructure is not only efficient but also fully compliant with legal requirements.
As technology evolves, the demands on a building's network will only increase. Whether a company is adding more staff, upgrading to 4K surveillance cameras, or adopting new IoT devices, the existing network cabling in Singapore must be able to support these changes. A professionally designed system includes extra capacity and modular components, allowing for seamless upgrades without the need for extensive rewiring.
This forward-thinking approach protects your initial technology investment. Instead of tearing down walls or ceiling tiles to add a single new connection, technicians can simply plug into the existing infrastructure backbone. By building for tomorrow’s needs today, organisations ensure they can stay at the forefront of digital transformation without the recurring costs and disruptions of major infrastructure overhauls.

Selecting a suitable intervention for complex skin concerns requires an understanding of how light-based technology interacts with our biological markers. In the diverse clinical environment of Singapore, many individuals seek solutions for persistent facial redness, inflammatory acne, and the early signs of vascular ageing. Traditional methods often rely on broad-spectrum light, but modern advancements have introduced a more precise approach. A yellow laser treatment provides a specialised 577nm wavelength that is designed to target the very vessels and pigments responsible for a blotchy or inflamed appearance. By focusing on the underlying vascular network, this medical-grade therapy offers a way to restore skin clarity and health without the intense thermal stress of older systems. This professional approach to rejuvenation ensures that even the most sensitive skin types can achieve a balanced and radiant look through a scientifically backed process.
Key Takeaways:
The efficacy of a yellow laser treatment lies in its remarkable precision on the light spectrum. While older-generation green lasers or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) systems deliver a wider range of energy, the 577nm pure yellow light is significant because it represents the peak absorption point for blood vessels. This allows the laser to coagulate and shrink dilated capillaries with much higher efficiency. Because the energy is so focused, clinicians can use lower power levels to achieve significant results, which minimises the risk of collateral damage to the surrounding healthy skin.
This high level of selectivity is particularly beneficial for the diverse skin tones found in Singapore. Many high-energy lasers carry a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in darker complexions due to excessive heat. However, the yellow laser’s ability to target blood vessels while minimising heat diffusion makes it a safer and more predictable option for Asian skin. This technological advantage ensures that the treatment remains a gentle but powerful tool for refining skin tone and maintaining a youthful, clear appearance.
Rosacea is a chronic condition characterised by persistent facial redness and visible "spider veins" or telangiectasia. For those living with this condition, environmental triggers such as heat and humidity can lead to frequent flushing. A yellow laser treatment offers a medical-grade solution by addressing the overactive vascular network directly. The laser energy is absorbed by the red pigment in the vessels, causing them to collapse and be naturally absorbed by the body’s lymphatic system.
Beyond treating visible veins, the therapy also helps to strengthen the skin's barrier over time. By reducing the chronic inflammation associated with vascular sensitivity, the skin becomes less reactive to external triggers. Patients often find that their complexion looks significantly calmer after just a few sessions. This reduction in background redness provides a more uniform and balanced skin tone, allowing individuals to feel more confident in their natural skin without the need for heavy corrective makeup.
One of the most versatile applications of yellow laser treatment is in the management of acne-prone skin. The yellow light wavelength has a dual-action effect on breakouts. Firstly, it has a photodynamic effect that destroys P. acnes, the bacteria responsible for inflammatory acne. Secondly, the thermal energy helps to shrink overactive sebaceous glands, which reduces the production of excess sebum. This helps to prevent future breakouts while simultaneously calming the redness of current lesions.
Furthermore, the treatment is highly effective for Post-Inflammatory Erythema (PIE), which are the stubborn red marks that remain after acne has healed. Unlike brown spots, which are caused by melanin, these red marks are caused by dilated capillaries. The vascular-targeting capability of the yellow laser is specifically designed to clear these red blemishes, speeding up the skin's natural recovery process. By treating both the active infection and the resulting marks, the laser provides a comprehensive path to a smoother and clearer complexion.
In recent years, the desire for "glass skin"—a look defined by a poreless, translucent, and hydrated glow—has dominated the aesthetic industry. The yellow laser treatment is frequently referred to as the "Glass Skin Laser" because of its ability to improve skin texture and luminosity simultaneously. While it targets redness and pigment, the gentle heating of the dermis also stimulates a mild collagen-building response. This helps to refine enlarged pores and improve the overall resilience of the skin tissue.
Because the treatment is non-ablative, there is no peeling or scabbing involved, allowing the skin to look immediately refreshed and radiant. This makes it a popular "maintenance" laser for individuals who want to sustain high skin quality without the inconvenience of a recovery period. Regular sessions help to maintain a bright, even tone and a smooth surface, ensuring that the skin remains healthy and vibrant despite the stressors of daily life and environmental pollution.
A typical session of yellow laser treatment is designed for maximum patient comfort. The procedure usually lasts between twenty and forty minutes, during which patients feel a sensation of gentle warmth or a mild prickling as the laser passes over the skin. Because the technology is so precise and gentle, most individuals do not require any topical numbing, making the process efficient for those with busy schedules. This ease of treatment is one of the hallmarks of modern, non-invasive aesthetic medicine.
Following the session, the skin might appear slightly pink for a few hours, but this quickly subsides. There is virtually no downtime, and patients are encouraged to return to their normal activities immediately. Professional aftercare is straightforward, focusing primarily on hydration and the diligent application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Protecting the newly treated skin from UV exposure ensures that the results are preserved and that the skin continues to heal optimally, leading to long-lasting improvements in clarity and health.
While some immediate brightening is often visible after a single session, the full benefits of yellow laser treatment are achieved through a progressive series of sessions. Most clinicians recommend a course of four to six treatments, spaced several weeks apart, to allow the skin to clear the treated vessels and build new collagen foundations. This cumulative approach ensures that the improvements are stable and that the skin remains resilient against future inflammation or vascular damage.
In conclusion, specialised yellow light technology represents a sophisticated leap in the treatment of vascular and inflammatory skin concerns.

جایی در کتاب جنگ و صلح تولستوی، شخصی پییر بزوخف را اینگونه توصیف میکند که «مثل پیراهن عقیده عوض میکند». این جمله و شخصیت پییر بسیار به دلم نشست. با تعویض عقایدم به این رسیدم که میتوان و باید ساختار منطقی داشت. عقاید و ایدئولوژیها نباید متناقض باشند. نمیتوان شیفتهٔ هیتلر یا اسرائیل بود و همزمان با نسلکشی و جنایت مخالف بود. سعی میکردم اصول اولیهای بدیهی، به عنوان فرض داشته باشم. مفروضاتی که به احتمال بالا درستند. حقوق بشر یکی از این مفروضات بود. کیست که منکر این شود که هر انسانی از حقوقی برخوردار است؟
سادهلوحانه در دنیای خودم پیش رفتم. سپس فهمیدم که انسان موجود منطقی و خوشرفتاری نیست. چنان که عدهای کروی بودن زمین را هم منکر شده و به آن ایمان دارند؛ در زمینههای اجتماعی وضعیت به مراتب بدتر است. با خودم میگفتم هرکسی حق تعیین سرنوشت دارد. این را حتی خمینی اول و اکنون رضا پهلوی (خمینی دوم) هم جار میزنند. ساده است که بپذیریم اگر حکومتی را نخواهیم پای صندوق رأی از جلوی گلوله بهتر است. اما به چشم دیدیم که عدهای خلاف این اصل بدیهی سینه سپر میکنند. برای من این بدیهیست که پدوفیلها و جنایتکاران جنگی دلسوز ما نیستند. آن هم با آن سابقهٔ کثیف استعماری، اما بسیاری عاشقشانند. حتی دیدم کسی نوشت «عموهایم ترامپ و نتانیاهو». برای من بدیهیست اقلیتها هم حقوقی دارند؛ اما در منطق دیگرانی، هرکه مخالف است خونش مباح است. بدیهیترین اصول انسانی و حتی ریاضی و منطقی که به آن باورمندم؛ در خیابان مورد تجاوز قرار میگیرد.
برای همین غافلگیرم. هیچ نمیدانم با این وضع که فاشیسم باز آرام میخزد و صندلی قدرت محکمتر در آغوش میگیرد چه به روز ما میآید؟ نمیفهمم چرا ستمدیده عاشق ستمگر میشود؟ چرا انسان به سندروم استکلهم دچار میشود؟ چرا از گذشته یاد نمیگیریم؟ چند بار هیتلر در نقابهای جدید بیاید و برود تا بگوییم دیگر بس است؟
این اشتباه بزرگ من بود. همان لحظهای که زنِ زنستیز را دیدم باید میفهمیدم این دنیا، دنیای خوشرفتاری نیست. دیدم که دزدی و فساد را میبینند، گرسنهاند؛ ولی به روی معترض آتش میگشایند. معترضی که میوهٔ اعتراضش سبزبختی همان سرکوبگر هم بود. آن که از حمله به بیمارستان اندوهگین بود؛ خود به بیمارستان حمله میکرد. برای همین غافلگیرم و میدانم که نباید غافلگیر باشم.
We discovered so many amazing nature places in Spain: caves, mountains, lakes, or deserts. We avoid being motorhome-tourists, following the same path as most people with motorhomes do. We avoid big cities and crowded places and often find nature places by simply exploring digital maps to find hidden gems.
That being said these 6 places could be very different from that most people would recommend you when traveling to Spain with a motorhome:

I know windows is usually the easiest way to do these things but I would be willing to learn a little bit (within my technical limits) to avoid using it for this.

Nothing bad will happen if you ignore this. You'll just keep getting the message on boot.
If you want to fix it, you'll need to upgrade your BIOS. Find out what motherboard you have and go to the manufacturer's website; then download the latest BIOS. Put that file on a FAT formatted thumb drive and boot to your BIOS (hold either F2 or DEL on boot, look up the key for your motherboard manufacturer). In the BIOS there will be a option to upgrade the BIOS from USB. Run that and you should be good to go!
In the high-intensity logistics hubs of Singapore, the operational lifespan and safety of a warehouse fleet are inextricably linked to the expertise of the people behind the controls. While significant capital is often invested in the latest material handling technology, the true return on that investment is realised through the competence of the workforce. Professional forklift training is more than a simple regulatory requirement; it is a strategic tool that reduces mechanical wear, minimises inventory damage, and ensures a seamless flow of goods. As industrial environments become more complex with high-bay racking and narrow aisles, the need for precision handling has never been greater. By prioritising accredited education, businesses can transform their forklift operations into a highly efficient and safe component of their supply chain, protecting both their human assets and their physical infrastructure.
Key Takeaways:
The total cost of ownership for a material handling fleet extends far beyond the initial purchase price or monthly rental fee. A major portion of a warehouse budget is often consumed by unplanned repairs and the replacement of parts damaged through improper use. This is where the value of comprehensive forklift training becomes apparent. When operators are taught the technical nuances of their machines, they learn to handle the equipment with a level of care that prevents unnecessary strain on the transmission, hydraulics, and tyres.
By instilling a sense of mechanical responsibility, businesses can move away from expensive reactive maintenance cycles. Trained operators are more likely to follow smooth acceleration and braking patterns, which preserve the motor and braking systems of electric reach trucks and forklifts. In the competitive Singaporean market, these small gains in equipment longevity translate into substantial long-term savings. A fleet that is operated by skilled professionals remains in peak condition for longer, ensuring that the business achieves the maximum possible value from its capital assets.
As warehouses in Singapore continue to adopt high-density storage solutions to combat rising land costs, the technical demands on operators have increased. Manoeuvring a heavy load into a racking position ten metres above the floor requires a degree of spatial awareness and precision that can only be achieved through formal forklift training. Without these specialised skills, the risk of racking strikes—which can compromise the structural integrity of the entire storage system—increases dramatically.
Accredited training programmes provide operators with hands-on experience in navigating tight spaces and managing the stability of the truck at extreme heights. They learn to interpret load charts accurately and understand how the centre of gravity shifts during high-level stacking. This expertise allows for a more efficient use of vertical space, as operators can work with confidence and speed without compromising safety. When technology such as fork-mounted cameras is paired with a highly skilled operator, the result is a significant reduction in pallet misalignment and inventory damage, further improving the profitability of the operation.
Singapore maintains some of the highest workplace safety standards in the world, and the material handling sector is no exception. Under the Workplace Safety and Health Act, it is a legal requirement for all forklift operators to undergo certified training from an approved provider. Failure to comply with these regulations exposes a business to heavy fines, legal action, and the potential suspension of work. Beyond the legal necessity, maintaining a certified workforce is a fundamental part of a company’s risk management strategy.
Modern forklift training ensures that every operator is up to date with the latest safety protocols and Singapore Standards, such as SS573. This includes understanding the importance of daily pre-operation inspections, which serve as an early warning system for mechanical issues. By identifying a leaking hydraulic hose or a faulty safety light before a shift begins, trained operators prevent accidents before they happen. This commitment to compliance and safety provides a robust framework for the business, ensuring that all material handling activities are performed to a national standard of excellence.
The introduction of enhanced refresher training requirements by the Ministry of Manpower highlights the importance of continuous learning in the industrial sector. Over time, even experienced operators can develop complacent habits or lose touch with the latest safety technologies. Periodic forklift training serves as a vital reset, reinforcing safe operating procedures and introducing operators to modern features such as the System of Active Stability (SAS) found in high-quality machinery.
This culture of continuous improvement has a positive ripple effect throughout the entire warehouse. When operators are knowledgeable and confident, they are more observant of their surroundings and the presence of pedestrians. This reduces the frequency of near-miss incidents and creates a more orderly, professional environment. A company that invests in the ongoing education of its staff is more likely to retain its best talent, as employees feel valued and supported in their professional development. Ultimately, a safer workplace is a more productive and profitable one, where the focus remains on meeting customer demands rather than managing the aftermath of an accident.
Achieving the highest levels of warehouse efficiency requires a holistic approach that combines quality machinery, expert training, and professional maintenance. A forklift is only as effective as the person driving it and the service team keeping it in top condition. This is why many successful businesses in Singapore partner with integrated solution providers like UMW Equipment. By sourcing equipment, training, and aftercare from a single trusted partner, companies can ensure that their entire material handling ecosystem is aligned and functioning at its peak.
Whether a business is looking to upgrade to a sustainable electric fleet or is seeking to improve the productivity of an existing operation, the role of professional forklift training cannot be overlooked. It is the bridge between a piece of high-tech machinery and a high-performance logistics operation. By investing in the skills of their operators, Singaporean businesses can secure their future in a global supply chain that demands ever-increasing levels of safety, precision, and efficiency.

Today I am moving not only myself, but my parents to Linux!
For me this is a long time coming. I discovered and started dabbling with Linux when I was 13 or so and somehow got an image of Backtrack 5 running on a Macbook Pro without virtualization (I'm still not entirely certain how I managed it) as I was always interested in IT/Security.
Eventually I went to school for IT and I've been working in tangents of the industry ever since, though few of my workplaces have made use of Linux unfortunately.
I have been running Debian on my personal laptop for a couple years now and I have had very few problems outside of breaking my sources.list the other day when I echo'd into it with > instead of >>.
I have a friend who recently fully switched over to Arch as well, and now more than ever I have found that all my friends, including those who are non-technical, are interested in learning about or moving to Linux, so I have decided now would be a good time to be an example for them.
I have made my parents aware of the ongoing and worsening problems with Windows and that their version of the OS will be out of support soon and today I'll be putting them on Mint. I don't expect any problems as I already had them using Open Office and other such applications since they didn't want to buy licensing for MS Office years ago. Furthermore their computer has no special hardware/software otherwise, it's basically just a Micro-ITX email machine that they sometimes use for printing.
I have enjoyed using Debian on my laptop so I intend to install Debian 12 to my desktop system, though I expect some complications as it has some hardware I have not had to configure on Linux before. Specifically It has an NVIDIA EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 ULTRA and an NZXT Kraken Liquid CPU cooler.
I am aware that Debian has full documentation on how to go about installing and setting up the drivers for an RTX card, but if anyone has done this, I would certainly appreciate any anecdotal advice regarding the matter as well as anything I might want to know about making sure the cooler is functioning.
If anyone wants to offer advice but needs to know more about the hardware, I have the following specifically:
Thanks for any advice, and I just wanted to offer a thanks to this community at large as I have read and learned some very neat things since I joined Lemmy.
EDIT:
I have successfully installed Mint for the parents! It went off mostly without a hitch. I found that Brother provides Linux drivers/utility scripts for their printers on a per-model basis so I was glad to see they really were at my side haha. Unfortunately, while the printer is detected and prints, even after installing the scanner driver for the model, I can't seem to get the device to be detected as a scanner in either the simple scan utility or in xsane, so I will be troubleshooting that in the coming days. Otherwise I am very pleased with it.
EDIT 2:
I return to you all from my fresh Debian system!
The system, applications, and most configs have all been set now, it is mainly my files remaining for transfer.
So far this has been the smoothest installation of a Linux OS I have ever done. After adding the repo's the Nvidia drivers installed like a dream. As I have 3 displays there was a little bit of fun in setting the proper display configuration for pre-login positioning, but those fixes were really quite straightforward.
It is about 5 AM so I am going to bed and continue onward into a brighter future tomorrow, but I wanted to thank you all again and provide the somewhat obligatory neofetch screenshot before I left.
EDIT 3:
A final edit to this, but the parents like Mint so much that they also had me install it to their laptop haha.
So glad to see that the state of Linux as a technology is now such that people in their very late 60's who are almost entirely non-technical can not only use a Linux system as a daily driver on more than one computer, but enjoy using it 😀

It's been my impression that it has been like that for at least 23 years, when I started using it.
There has just been a lot of misinformation smearing it as somehow hard, or only for technically minded people. Never been hard for me, and I don't consider myself technically minded, but, others do, in circular reasoning [because I use linux, I must be technically minded, ~] that it's hard to disabuse them of, until you get them sat in front of some linux systems, and they can see for themselves how cushy the community have made it for them, in any of many ways.
It's the freedom that matters. Not the kernel. Not the convenience of better software. The licenses. Free to use, study, share, change, as you wish. That's a lot of wide open innovation potential, from that essential 4 freedoms. We got here because of those freedoms. And we've been here a long time. [Decades]. They tried to smear freedom, fearing they'd lose their abuse victims. Bye bye corporate proprietary software developers. The truth's getting out... Freedom's here, and it's nice. No abuse gets to persist, when we're free to create a version of the thing doing the abuse, with the abuse removed. 😀
Don’t Tell Me How to Live is a dark country blues song about independence, scars, and walking your own road.
It’s not about rebellion for show - it’s about experience, choices, and paying your own price.
This song is for those who’ve been told how to live, how to think, and who to be - and chose their own way instead.
No advice. No permission. Just movement forward.
Dark country blues with a steady groove, deep vocals, and a raw outlaw atmosphere.
Honest, grounded, and timeless.

Arturo O’Farrill is a Grammy-winning pianist, composer and one of the most influential voices in Afro-Cuban jazz. But for him, Cuba is more than just an inspiration — it’s home, history and identity.
In Havana, during the 41st International Jazz Plaza Festival, Arturo told us why jazz cannot be understood without Cuba, why Afro-Cuban roots remain central to the music’s evolution, and why cultural exchange persists despite the United States’ decades-long economic war on Cuba.
Arturo has been returning to Cuba year after year for over two decades, honoring his heritage, and using music as a bridge between Cuban and U.S. citizens - despite the personal cost of taking political positions.
“This is Cuba,” he says. “I come here to learn how to live.”

I still put up XScreenSaver. I love my slide show. Reminds me of old memories, old movies and shows I love, and some cool art I've found.
I do hate that I have to activate it every boot. But I'll do it.
In this video I explain what food you can buy during the GR11 thru-hike across the Spanish Pyrenees (and this would apply to other hikes in Spain).
The great thing about the GR 11 is that it passes by many little villages as you traverse the mountains. Many of these villages have little shops where you can buy: rice, pasta, nuts, fruits and vegetables, Picos, bread, and other basic goods.
** You can buy dehydrated soy meat from Carrefour in Puigcerdà (and probably other big Carrefour supermarkets).
*** You can also buy cured meat such as chorizo, jamon, and fuet in most little shops, or canned tuna, though these things are generally more expensive and heavier than my favorite pick of dehydrated soy meat and nuts 😁
***** It helped to have a plastic container because once in a while I bought peanut butter or nutella in a glass jar (bc that was the only option) and then transferred it to my plastic container so it wouldn’t be as heavy.

I want to move a lot of photos of my phone but I don't want to move all of them at once.
I'd like to select two separate files and then have a file manager select all files between those two, i.e. select a range. As example, if I select file B and file E, I want to automatically select file C and D, but not anything else.
I mainly use Material Files as an app for that but it seems not possible to do this there? Does anyone have a suggestion for a file manager that can do this on Android?
Material Design file manager for Android. Contribute to zhanghai/MaterialFiles development by creating an account on GitHub.GitHub
Update: both Fossify Gallery and Fossify File Manager can do this! Just found out 😀 you select the first image(long press) then long press the last image of the group, it selects them all
Mm basically Ctrl + Shift + select but on a phone.
Not a real solution but a couple of workarounds with Material Files:
Real solution would be a file manager with advanced search, that can filter by date range for example.
Rapid urbanization has led to a dramatic increase in construction and demolition waste worldwide. Old residential buildings, commercial complexes, and infrastructure projects generate massive volumes of concrete blocks, asphalt fragments, bricks, and reinforced materials. Instead of transporting this material to landfills, cities are increasingly adopting recycling-oriented crushing systems that convert waste into reusable aggregates.
In this context, a properly configured stone crusher plant(planta de trituracion de piedra) becomes the core of an urban recycling solution. Whether installed as a fixed facility near metropolitan industrial zones or deployed as a mobile stone crusher for on-site demolition projects, the system must be designed for flexibility, efficiency, and environmental compliance. Integrating equipment such as a high-performance cone crusher further enhances final aggregate quality and market value.
Urban construction waste differs significantly from natural quarry materials. It typically contains mixed materials, irregular particle shapes, steel reinforcement bars, and varying moisture levels.
Concrete waste often includes embedded rebar, while demolition debris may contain wood, plastic, and other contaminants. Therefore, recycling crushing plants must incorporate pre-sorting, magnetic separation, and screening systems before material enters the primary crushing stage.
Unlike traditional mining-focused stone crusher plant setups, recycling systems require greater adaptability and impurity management capabilities.
Designing an efficient recycling solution involves more than selecting a single crusher. It requires a coordinated system architecture.
Before crushing begins, material passes through vibrating feeders and pre-screens to remove fine particles and lightweight contaminants. Magnetic separators extract steel reinforcement, preventing damage to downstream equipment.
In urban environments, a mobile stone crusher(trituradora de piedra móvil) configuration with integrated pre-screening reduces transportation costs by processing waste directly at demolition sites.
The primary crusher reduces large concrete blocks into manageable sizes. Depending on feed size and hardness, jaw crushers are often used at this stage due to their robust structure and high reduction ratio.
However, for projects requiring improved particle shape and finer output, a cone crusher may be introduced in the secondary stage.
A cone crusher plays a critical role in refining recycled aggregates. Its ability to produce uniform particle size and improved cubic shape increases the commercial value of recycled materials.
In high-capacity recycling stone crusher plant systems, combining jaw and cone crushers ensures both structural durability and output consistency.
Urban demolition projects are often temporary and geographically dispersed. Transporting waste to a centralized facility increases cost and environmental impact.
A mobile stone crusher enables on-site processing, reducing hauling distance and project duration. Integrated crushing and screening modules allow rapid setup and relocation.
For municipalities implementing circular economy policies, mobile solutions provide scalable recycling capacity without requiring large permanent installations.
Mobile units can be combined to increase throughput when large demolition projects are underway. After project completion, the same system can be relocated to another urban redevelopment site.
This flexibility makes mobile stone crusher solutions particularly attractive for contractors managing multiple short-term urban projects.
Urban recycling operations must meet strict environmental standards.
Dust suppression systems, enclosed conveyors, and water spray units are essential to minimize airborne particulate emissions. Noise control measures, including acoustic insulation and low-vibration equipment design, are equally important in densely populated areas.
A well-designed stone crusher plant for recycling should integrate environmental protection systems from the outset rather than treating them as optional add-ons.
Water management is another critical factor. Recycling plants must control runoff and prevent contamination of nearby drainage systems. Proper site layout and sedimentation facilities are part of a comprehensive system solution.
Recycled aggregates are increasingly accepted in road base layers, subgrade construction, and non-structural concrete applications. In some regions, government procurement policies actively encourage recycled material usage.
By incorporating a cone crusher(chancadora de cono) for fine material refinement, recycling plants can produce higher-grade aggregates suitable for more demanding applications. This enhances revenue potential and improves return on investment.
Compared to traditional quarry operations, urban recycling projects benefit from reduced raw material acquisition costs, as demolition waste is often available at low or no cost.
Modern recycling crushing plants increasingly integrate digital monitoring systems.
Sensors track equipment vibration, throughput, and wear conditions, enabling predictive maintenance. Data analytics platforms help optimize crusher settings based on material composition.
For operators managing multiple mobile stone crusher units across a city, centralized monitoring enhances operational transparency and efficiency.
Automated control systems reduce human exposure to hazardous environments. Remote operation cabins and automated feeding systems improve safety compliance, a critical priority in urban recycling projects.
Suppliers capable of delivering technologically advanced stone crusher plant solutions are better positioned to meet growing urban demand.
Urban construction waste recycling is no longer a niche activity. It represents a structural shift toward resource efficiency and environmental responsibility.
A comprehensive system solution—combining primary crushing, cone crusher refinement, mobile deployment options, environmental control, and digital monitoring—transforms demolition waste into valuable construction materials.
For contractors and municipal authorities, investing in a well-designed stone crusher plant tailored to urban recycling demands ensures regulatory compliance, cost efficiency, and long-term sustainability. As cities continue to redevelop and modernize, advanced recycling crushing systems will play an increasingly important role in shaping a circular construction economy.

The most successful business owners in Singapore share a common trait: they treat tax compliance not as a burden, but as a discipline. They understand that paying the right amount—neither more nor less—requires both knowledge and infrastructure.
Singapore's tax deduction framework presents a simple proposition: expenses incurred wholly and exclusively for income production qualify for relief. Yet this simplicity masks operational complexity that demands careful navigation.
This guide bridges the gap between regulatory principle and practical implementation, showing you how to claim what you're entitled to while avoiding costly missteps.
IRAS evaluates every deduction through a single lens: commercial necessity. Personal benefits, however convenient for business operations, remain firmly outside the scope.
The diagnostic is straightforward but demanding: would this expenditure survive the elimination of my business? Costs that vanish with the business typically qualify. Those that persist require careful scrutiny. Clarity at this stage prevents disputes at the next.
Despite industry differences, certain deductible patterns emerge consistently.
Premises-related expenditures—commercial rents, utility services, telecommunications infrastructure—generally qualify. Personnel costs, encompassing base compensation, performance bonuses, and statutory employer contributions, qualify when properly documented and remitted.
Professional service fees represent another significant category. This includes financial statement preparation, statutory audit services, and business-focused legal advisory. Additionally, corporate secretarial services are typically deductible as necessary costs of maintaining corporate compliance.
Revenue generation investments—marketing campaigns, brand development, customer acquisition activities—usually qualify when demonstrably business-promotional.
Debt service costs on business-purpose financing may also generate deductions, subject to clear income-generation nexus documentation.
These classifications appear intuitive. Complexity arises in boundary cases.
Perhaps no area generates more errors than distinguishing capital from revenue expenditures. Revenue expenses represent ongoing operational costs, generally deductible in the incurred period.
Capital expenditures create or enhance long-term business assets. Equipment purchases, structural renovations, and vehicle acquisitions exemplify this category. Immediate full deduction isn't available; capital allowance mechanisms provide phased recognition instead.
Misclassification consequences are substantial. Current deduction claims for capital items prompt reassessments, financial penalties, and interest charges. When expenditures generate multi-year benefits, expect multi-year tax treatment.
Residential business activities introduce genuine deduction challenges. Exclusive business-use areas may support proportional cost recovery for utilities and occupancy. The critical standard is reasonableness—claims must reflect actual usage rather than aspirational allocation.
Mixed-use expenditures demand particular attention. Mobile communications, private vehicle usage, and transportation costs require documented apportionment between personal and business purposes. Arbitrary allocations without evidentiary support create compliance risk. Conservative claiming supported by comprehensive records represents prudent practice.
Business entertainment deductions apply narrowly—direct income-generation purpose required. Client hospitality with documented commercial objectives may qualify. Social activities with incidental business content typically fail.
Travel expenditures require business-primary purpose. Aviation, accommodation, and local transportation for commercial meetings or professional development generally qualify. Personal leisure extensions void related deductions.
Documentation standards are exacting. Travel itineraries, meeting confirmations, and payment receipts must construct coherent, verifiable narratives. Expenditures should withstand examination without explanatory supplementation.
Employment-connected costs generally qualify for relief. Compensation packages, performance incentives, professional development, and staff welfare benefits fall within standard deductible parameters.
Training expenditures must demonstrate clear occupational relevance. Role-specific professional certification typically qualifies. Personal development unrelated to job functions may not meet the standard.
Employee health benefits and insurance programs generally qualify when representing established employment practices. Detailed payroll records facilitate straightforward claim substantiation.
Expense recognition follows economic substance rather than cash flow timing. Accrual accounting principles determine deduction periods.
Illustrative case: services received in December with January payment settlement typically attribute to December's tax year.
Timing errors create taxable income distortion. Professional accounting collaboration prevents these routine yet expensive classification mistakes.
Regulatory mandates impose five-year minimum documentation retention. Invoices, receipts, contractual agreements, and banking records must be preserved. Electronic documentation satisfies requirements when comprehensive and readily accessible. Record gaps undermine defensive positions during regulatory review.
Comprehensive documentation validates deduction claims. Inadequate documentation invites challenge, disallowance, and potential penalties.
Economic pressures occasionally tempt businesses toward deduction expansion beyond legitimate boundaries. Such aggression typically generates costs exceeding benefits.
IRAS disallowance consequences include incremental tax assessments, administrative penalties, interest accrual, and potential reputational damage. The risk-adjusted returns rarely favor aggressive postures.
Conservative, thoroughly-documented approaches optimize long-term outcomes. Genuine maximization means complete capture of legitimately entitled benefits through proper procedural channels—not boundary testing.
Deduction claims don't exist in isolation. They connect to broader corporate governance quality. Accurate financial reporting enables accurate tax compliance. Proper authorization processes for material expenditures strengthen evidentiary positions. Transparent documentation of financing and shareholder arrangements prevents confusion.
Professional corporate secretarial services contribute significantly here, ensuring that board resolutions, director approvals, and statutory records align with and support financial decisions. When governance infrastructure and accounting systems integrate effectively, tax reporting becomes streamlined and audit-resistant. Compliance operates as a system—weaknesses anywhere manifest everywhere.
Sophisticated organizations recognize that corporate secretarial services provide foundational infrastructure for tax efficiency. By ensuring that corporate actions are properly authorized, documented, and filed, these services create the governance backbone that supports deduction claims. Investment in professional corporate secretarial services Singapore typically yields returns through enhanced compliance posture and reduced regulatory risk.
Straightforward operational structures with uncomplicated transaction patterns may function adequately with competent internal administration supplemented by periodic external review. Increasing operational sophistication elevates the value of professional advisory engagement.
Asset-intensive business models, cross-border operations, or related-party transaction structures particularly warrant specialized expertise. The objective centers on correct regulatory application and risk management rather than tax avoidance.
Effective Singapore tax deduction management emphasizes systematic rigor over creative interpretation.
Master foundational principles. Maintain disciplined capital-revenue distinctions. Enforce clear separation between personal and business expenditures. Cultivate comprehensive, accessible documentation practices. Address uncertainties through timely professional consultation. Robust operational habits minimize compliance anxiety and adjustment exposure.
Expense optimization requires no definitional stretching. It demands full realization of legitimately entitled benefits, supported by impeccable records and disciplined compliance processes. Properly executed, taxation becomes a predictable business cost rather than a source of stress and uncertainty.

1.) Demand independent confirmation of whatever statements are asserted as facts.
2.) Encourage substantive debate from all points of view by those with substantial, relevant expertise.
3.) Don’t accept an argument from an authority because that person is an authority. Instead, judge arguments based on the merits of the underlying facts, and how experts scrupulously interpret those facts.
4.) Spin as many hypotheses as you can that are consistent with the data. Every possible explanation that isn’t ruled out or contradicted by the already-existing data should be considered, and each hypothesis should be tested and examined as rigorously as possible.
5.) Whatever your favorite, most preferred hypothesis is — especially if it’s your original idea — be its harshest critic. By attempting to knock it down or poke holes in it as hard as you can, you’ll determine how well it stands up under the steeliest of scrutiny. (And if you don’t, others will.)
6.) Don’t settle for a qualitative analysis of the issue. Be quantitative: ask and answer the key question of “by how much?”
7.) If there’s a chain of argument being put forth, then every link in the chain, from the premise to the final conclusion, must be sound.
8.) The convenient rule of Occam’s Razor: to choose the simplest explanation among multiple hypotheses that explain the data equally well.
9.) Ask whether the hypothesis, at least in principle, can be falsified. Non-falsifiable and untestable hypotheses cannot be checked out, and hence those ideas are incapable of disproof.
Carl Sagan's baloney detection kit taught us how to separate good science from the work of charlatans. In 2026, that matters more than ever.Ethan Siegel (Big Think)
In his influential book, “Science as a Candle in the Dark,” Carl Sagan wrote about how susceptible humans are to being deceived, and how healthy skepticism can inoculate us against those deceptive tactics.
The book is titled, "A Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark."
And it is an amazing book that every adult human should be required to read and understand.
I'm back! After yet another break, and today I'm showing off Roshen Korivka, one of my favorite candies.

When the Light Almost Left is a dark country song about walking forward when hope is almost gone.
It’s not about saving, signs, or easy answers - it’s about endurance, silence, and inner strength.
This track tells the story of a lone soul moving through darkness without promises, without certainty, and without surrender.
No bright light. No shortcuts. Just the road, the weight, and one more step.
If you’ve ever felt lost but kept going anyway this song is for you.
Dark country.
Cinematic western atmosphere.
Raw, honest, and timeless.

Hello all,
I'm planning to install Linux Mint on the notebooks of some relatives as it's not compatible with Windows 11 and thus not getting security updates anymore. They are absolutely not tech savvy and only using very basic stuff (web browser, print documents, maybe low level office stuff). Still I'm looking for a way to support them with some kind of remote control software if they have an issue. On Windows I liked Teamviewer for it's simplicity, they can double click the icon and tell me the code that is displayed and that's it. Is there something similar for Linux which doesn't require complex setup on their end? FOSS is a plus, but not a must have.
Regards,
rbn
supporting 400+ laptops from previously tech-illiterate users in the field. we tried everything for remote patching and fixing things and nothing worked universally. that includes stuff shipped with them (ssh, Gnome and Plasma RDP, VNC, etc) and 3rd party FOSS things. wireguard-ing all them laptops for remote access introduces buncha complications at this scale.
only thing that works: bring it to the "shop", ansible script to exfil home subvolume, install fresh ubuntu (working on replacing that with debian), patch snap and bunch of other annoyances, restore /home.
seeing as how you only got grams and co. to take care of, wireguard + ssh is the only low-overhead, works-most-of-the-time solution.
I personally think anydesk is the easiest to deploy and use, cross platform and little effort.
Rustdesk is great too and my go to as a self hosted option.

We are what we're supposed to be
Illusions of your fantasy
All dots and lines that speak and say
What we do is what you wish to do
We are the color symphony
We do the things you wanna see
Frame by frame, to the extreme
Our friends are so unreasonable
They do the unpredictable
All dots and lines that speak and say
What we do is what you wish to do
[Pre-Chorus]
It's all an orchestra of strings
Doin' unbelievable things
Frame by frame, to the extreme
One by one, we're makin' it fun
[Chorus]We are the Cartoon Heroes - oh-oh-oh
We are the ones who're gonna last forever
We came out of a crazy mind - oh-oh-oh
And walked out on a piece of paper
[Verse 2]
Here comes Spiderman, arachnophobian
Welcome to the toon town party
Here comes Superman, from never-neverland
Welcome to the toon town party
We learned to run at speed of light
And to fall down from any height
It's true, but just remember that
What we do is what you just can't do
[Pre-Chorus]
An opera of craziness
A bunch of dots that's chasing us
Frame by frame, to the extreme
One by one, we're makin' it fun
[Chorus]We are the Cartoon Heroes - oh-oh-oh
We are the ones who're gonna last forever
We came out of a crazy mind - oh-oh-oh
And walked out onto a piece of paper
[Bridge]Here comes Spiderman, arachnophobian
Welcome to the toon town party
Here comes Superman, from never-neverland
Welcome to the toon town party
You think we're so mysterious
Don't take us all too serious
Be original, and remember that
What we do is what you just can't do
What we do is what you just can't do
What we do is what you just can't do
What we do is what you just can't do
What we do is what you just can't do

Hi everybody,
after updating (finally) from Fedora 42 to 43 (so from Gnome 48 to 49) I have issues with gnome-control-center audio panel (and quick settings audio output chooser) where I can't set as default output the Line Out (as I always done) and no input devices are listed.Inside pavucontrol and by looking at
pactl list short sinks,wpctl statusandpw-cli list-objectseverything looks good, I can correctly change default devices and audio in/out actually works.This makes me think it's a Gnome (some library they depend on or something) issue.
By looking at journalctl while trying to switch from HDMI Out to Line Out as default output, NOTHING AT ALL happens. Audio output doesn't change and journalctl doesn't log anything. Only the label on the dropdown menu changes.
Inside gnome-control-center, by switching first to Digital Output (which is the same audio card as Line Out, but different port) and then switch to Line Out, dropdown menu label changes to the HDMI Out, audio correctly comes out from Line Out, no audio input is detect (probably because for control center the device selected is HDMI Out, which doesn't have input) and journalctl logs something relevant:
Feb 12 07:50:08 pc gsd-media-keys[4390]: Unable to get default sink Feb 12 07:50:08 pc gsd-media-keys[4390]: Unable to get default source Feb 12 07:50:08 pc gsd-media-keys[4390]: Can't find input for stream-id 46 Feb 12 07:50:08 pc gsd-media-keys[4390]: gvc_mixer_ui_device_get_id: assertion 'GVC_IS_MIXER_UI_DEVICE (device)' failed Feb 12 07:50:08 pc gsconnect[5097]: Can't find input for stream-id 46 Feb 12 07:50:08 pc gsconnect[5097]: gvc_mixer_ui_device_get_id: assertion 'GVC_IS_MIXER_UI_DEVICE (device)' failed Feb 12 07:50:08 pc gnome-control-center[30986]: Can't find input for stream-id 14 Feb 12 07:50:08 pc gnome-control-center[30986]: gvc_mixer_ui_device_get_id: assertion 'GVC_IS_MIXER_UI_DEVICE (device)' failed Feb 12 07:50:08 pc gnome-shell[4125]: Can't find input for stream-id 46 Feb 12 07:50:08 pc gnome-shell[4125]: gvc_mixer_ui_device_get_id: assertion 'GVC_IS_MIXER_UI_DEVICE (device)' failed
By usingpw-cli info 46I know that's actually Line Out.Looking up that assertion on the web gives nothing useful.
I tried to delete wireplumber configs (rm -rf ~/.local/state/wireplumber) and restart the service too, but didn't worked.Has anyone else ran into this or know what to do?
Thanks in advance.
(Just to be clear: Before updating everything was working fine and by using pavucontrol is still the same.)

I Don’t Drink for the Celebration is an outlaw dark country song about alcohol as silence, habit, and survival - not a party.
This track captures the raw bar-room feeling of late nights, heavy thoughts, and the quiet truth many people live with but rarely say out loud.
Built on a steady, danceable groove with gritty male vocals, stomp rhythm, and a dark country blues atmosphere, this song is made for neon-lit bars, night drives, and anyone who drinks to slow the noise inside — not to celebrate.

Aviso de conteúdo: Discussão sobre disforia de gênero e metáforas com ossos e sangue. Não chega a ser extremamente detalhado, mas é um tema presente.
Fic de idol de kpop mas você não precisa saber de nada sobre os artistas envolvidos para ler.
Quando os dois tinham o que chamavam de pequenos problemas corporais, despiam-se por completo e entravam na banheira vazia, um de cada lado, frente a frente, enquanto o umidificador de ar começava a funcionar silenciosamente. Às vezes liam alguma coisa para passar o tempo, algo para preencher a cabeça e evitar prestar atenção aos desconfortos do momento, mas na maioria das vezes permaneciam em silêncio, apenas olhando nos olhos um do outro até que a sensação de estranhamento desaparecesse e eles pudessem ser eles mesmos outra vez.
Seja lá o que "eles mesmos" significasse. Não conversavam sobre isso com muita profundidade. Sobre quem eram ou quem aspiravam ser. Se gostavam da pronúncia em voz alta dos seus nomes de registro, se realmente gostavam do que viam no espelho ou do que as pessoas viam refletido neles. Se preferiam aparar o cabelo e ser forçados a encarar a visão completa do próprio rosto, ou se preferiam deixá-lo crescer além dos ombros e parecer versões estranhas das próprias mães. Se realmente queriam levar o sexo longe demais e ter que decidir qual dos dois odiava menos a ideia de penetrar os ossos do outro.
Talvez fosse por causa de todos aqueles "ses" que eles não falavam sobre isso. Os problemas vinham e eles simplesmente sabiam. Apenas por ver a tensão nos ombros um do outro. O peso da dissonância os arrastando para baixo. Não precisavam verbalizar para o outro compreender. Fantasmas como a disforia podiam ser tão sólidos quanto a sensação palpável das próprias escápulas.
Entrar na banheira ajudava um pouco. Respirar um ar que fizesse sentido, estar na presença de alguém que fizesse sentido. Alguém que se sentia tão deslocado no mundo quanto ele. Alguém que simplesmente entenderia sem que ele precisasse formular explicações elaboradas, meticulosas e ponderadas em prol do conforto de ume ente queride. Alguém para quem ele não precisasse embelezar os próprios sentimentos. Alguém em quem pudesse confiar que ser visto como homem era como ter seus ossos escavados com pinças minúsculas e agonizantes que o faziam querer arrancá-los de si com os próprios dentes, bem longe daquela pele que seria sempre interpretada erroneamente por todes.
Talvez aquela compreensão mútua fosse parte do que o fazia desejar tanto Taeyang, embora fosse de longe um dos maiores motivos. Mas era um importante, por mais estranho que soasse, desejar alguém por ansiar se desossar tanto quanto ele mesmo.
Apesar da náusea do desconforto, era nesses momentos, quando os dois se olhavam nos olhos, que o desejo se intensificava. Porque quando Jongseob fitava o próprio reflexo nos olhos do outro, quando via os mesmos traços com os quais mantinha uma relação de amor e ódio, era quando conseguia enxergar a si mesmo. Ele mesmo, apenas ele mesmo. Nenhuma imagem imposta. Nenhum rapaz que os outros construíram para ele sem permissão.
Dado o suavizar do olhar tenso do outro, gostava de pensar que era o mesmo para ele. Que ele podia oferecer o mesmo conforto. E talvez, apenas talvez, que ele fosse desejado igualmente. Como o Jongseob genuíno, seu eu nu e cru.
Isso soava bom — bom no sentido de simplesmente tudo o que importava na vida — mesmo com o sentimento de carnificina ainda fervilhando nas pontas dos seus caninos.
Quando esses pensamentos o dominaram, de repente foi muito difícil se agarrar ao silêncio em um daqueles momentos na banheira. Pela primeira vez, olhando para aqueles olhos que eram o único espelho que ele poderia querer, sentiu uma vontade incontrolável de dizer algo, qualquer coisa, sem ter certeza de como expressar. Era mais fácil ser lido como um mapa do que como palavras transcritas de um velho transmissor quebrado.
Mas ele tentou, abriu a boca mesmo assim. Antes que pudesse sequer encontrar a própria voz, Taeyang já havia erguido as sobrancelhas para ele. Convidativo mesmo com a quebra do ritual.
Jongseob exalou profundamente. Essa adaptabilidade só o fazia desejá-lo mais, com uma fome indescritível.
Suas palavras eram como uma gravação cheia de estática e ele não sabia se seria compreendido.
Seus olhos jamais deixaram os olhos do outro, nem uma só vez.
"Deixe-me consumir sua pele", ele ofereceu, gentilmente.
Claro, havia uma implicação no ar.
Aí você pode consumir a minha.
Taeyang lhe encarou. Mais do que havia encarado antes, um tanto invasivo. Por um momento, Jongseob temeu de verdade que a estática tivesse sido alta demais, sua intenção perdida na falta de clareza.
Mas num piscar de olhos, o olhar do outro suavizou mais uma vez e ele já empurrava o corpo nu para frente, seus joelhos batendo no fundo da banheira enquanto se movia em sua direção. Jongseob nem teve tempo de respirar antes que ele colocasse a mão em sua nuca e puxasse seu rosto para o ombro dele.
Soou como um "é claro".
Jongseob respirou cuidadosamente contra ele, os olhos se fechando ante a superfície intricadamente construída de escápulas tão firmes quanto concreto frio.
Ergueu lentamente as mãos para segurá-lo também, para cavar os dedos em sua pele e delicadamente sentir sua estrutura óssea, querendo saber precisamente como cada articulação se conectava dos menores ossos aos maiores. Pressionou as pontas contra elas e confirmou para si mesmo quão perfeitamente esculpido o outro era, quão belo era por inteiro, mesmo que ele próprio nem sempre concordasse com isso.
Taeyang como Taeyang, a pessoa que ele via, sem nenhum gênero a pairar sobre si, era inerentemente bonito, e sempre seria. Ele queria ser capaz de transmitir isso perfeitamente ao outro e fazê-lo guardar confidencialmente dentro do coração para analisar zelosamente depois, numa hora em que a disforia não estivesse cravando as unhas em sua autoimagem.
Mas Jongseob não era bom com palavras quando nem conseguia dizer o mesmo sobre si mesmo.
Só pôde torcer para que seu fascínio pudesse ser absolvido através da carne.
O outro o empurrou em direção a uma solução melhor com uma mordida sem misericórdia contra a concha de sua orelha. Quando os dentes do outro se afundaram naquele ponto sensível, os dedos de Jongseob pressionaram seu corpo com mais força, e seus dentes de cima se chocaram dolorosamente contra os debaixo, uma colisão áspera que fez seus ouvidos zumbirem.
Gotas de sangue caíram em seu ombro e escorreram, pintando-o com si mesmo.
A dor era imensurável, mas o que verdadeiramente fez Jongseob tremer foi sentir o engolir do outro perto de sua orelha, seus lábios úmidos roçando fracamente o local que mordera. A alimentação sem pudor.
O jeito de Taeyang encorajá-lo a tomar o que quisesse sem hesitação. Tomando primeiro, obviamente.
Era revoltante.
Era amável.
Lhe fez desejá-lo tanto que a perspectiva de não se alimentar dele de volta parecia mais dolorosa do que o pequeno pedaço arrancado de sua orelha.
Seus dedos deslizaram para cima, pressionando até agarrarem os ombros do outro e ele chegou perto, mais perto, até a forma dos seus próprios ossos se imprimir nos dele.
Então, como um gato faminto, ele deixou os caninos à mostra e começou a dilacerá-lo.
Mais sangue fluiu e caiu na banheira, misturando-se ao ar deles.
I used Manjaro Linux on my first pc back in 2019 for a short time.
I'll be having my second pc in a few days and I was hoping to shift to Zorin OS permanently.
But, due to an unavoidable reason, I have to use 2 of Adobe softwares. Especially Illustrator and Photoshop. Both version 2021.
Will these 2 be almost perfectly usable in Zorin OS or should I Dual boot windows 11 alongside to use them?

dual booting is an advanced scenario especially with a hostile OS like Windows and it doesn't soundlike you got the expertise to fix shit. if your livelihood/education/etc depends on it, you should steer clear of such an adventure, unless you're in abject poverty.
get a $50 decade-old laptop and use it to run either of the OS, exclusively. it will give you a fallback solution if something breaks and you can figure out how to run that cancer on linux without endangering the primary rig.
after months of ollama seeing only my CPU (maybe due to my Vulkan or ROCM setup) it finally occurred to me to try the docker image, and it's working perfectly on my GPU now! docs.ollama.com/docker
it could be permissions: my user is in render and video, but the docker container runs as root
interesting, i wasn't prompted or anything, from the documentation there's the ollama/ollama:latest image and the ollama/ollama:rocm image but either way ollama will do its own detection and silently fallback to CPU if anything even smells wrong, haha
i've noticed a few people are not using the official ollama images 🤷

Keep in mind that the book has its flaws. Parenti refers to Stalin as a "dictator" in one section, and he seemed to have fallen for US propaganda about post-Mao China. Regardless, it's still a valuable introductory resource to the history of anticommunism.
The version on ProleWiki has a few formatting errors (e.g. at least one missing word at the beginning of a section), but the book is also available as an EPUB or PDF on Anna's Archive.
I Didn’t Turn This Way is a gritty dark country groove about becoming harder after being pushed too far.
This song tells a human story of betrayal, survival, and the quiet strength that comes from learning life’s hard rules.
Driven by a steady stomp rhythm, raw male vocals, and a stripped-down outlaw country sound, this track feels real and lived-in - made for late-night drives, empty bars, and anyone who’s been forced to toughen up just to stay standing.

ALL BILLIONAIRES ARE BASTARDS
Released March 2022
Lyrics:
Union-busting billionaire
Plutocratic profiteer
Reading books by Iain Banks
While employees’ welfare tanks
Interstellar coloniser
Bratty little egoiser
Talking like a freedom fighter
But who changes your baby’s diapers?
The immense wealth that you are hoarding
Owing to workers that you’re ignoring
Could really change things, if dispersed
But the bottom line comes first
You selfish fucks, you arrogant shits
Bleeding the working class for those monetary hits
Laws you gleefully circumvent
To build your empire of enslavement
To guarantee prosperity
First, ignore disparity
Exploit your workers til they drop
Deny you run a sweatshop
Degradation is the key
You’ve got to break your employees
Drill the workers til they die
Wring them out until they’re dry
Bastards

in reply to AltruisticAthiest • • •This is a very common bug with Fedora (at least since Fedora 41), in my experience. I could not fix it on my system, so i just turned off the sleep mode.
As far as I understand the discussions on the usual-suspect forums this can be caused by a variety of reasons and it is very hard (for me at least) to diagnose the system in a way that gives the right answer.

in reply to AltruisticAthiest • • •For me this is usually solved by opening another tty session (e.g ctrl+alt+f3 ) and going back to F2 or simply restarting the login manager service.
Might be a different issue thought.

Compared to the trash Windows is? I'd rather "suffer" through 2 sessions switching really.

Edit: iirc it is a DisplayPort related issue and shouldn’t happen if you’re using hdmi instead, could be one option for you to pursue.
