What file explorer does qBittorrent use? (Debian/KDE)


I really like its format over Dolphin's, I find it much more intuitive. It shows the whole filetree from root and double clicking a folder just expands the it further. This is different than how Dolphin works, which only shows one folder at once like how Windows does in the main windows of File Explorer.

I think I might be autistic.

Specifically qBittorrent used with Debian and KDE. Not sure of it looks different elsewhere.

UNRWA: Hundreds of thousands in Gaza eat one meal every two or three days dailyyemen.net/2025/05/08/unrw…

"Many of these Louisianians were known in the 18th and 19th centuries as 'gens de couleur libres,' or free people of color. Many were well educated, French-speaking and Roman Catholic. Over the decades, they established a foothold in business, the building trades and the arts, particularly music, with significant contributions to the development of jazz. They continue to be an important strand in the city's famously heterogeneous culture."

His mother, Mildred (née Martínez)

his mother was the daughter of Haiti-born Joseph Martínez and Louise Baquiet from New Orleans, a mixed-race Louisiana Creole.


Some people are claiming pope-mommy is of a Sephardi lineage... nose checks out, but it's hard to trace that stuff out now since wikipedia got wise to people checking the "Early Life" section. Also, there is a heavy Moor DNA influence on those Iberian Peninsula folks. (Moors and Sephardi are genetically related too)

supposedly the Baquiet (formally Basquiat) were French and Basque nobility - one family member, Bernard de Basquiat, known as Baron de Toulouzette was a musketeer in the 18th century.

Año’s Recycled Lies Meant to Obscure Real Roots of Armed Conflict


Kabataang Makabayan (KM) strongly condemns the recent statements made by National Security Adviser Eduardo Año and the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-Elcac), which once again weaponize so-called “former rebels” to prop up the discredited narrative of a so-called “spent revolutionary force.” What Año parades as “raw, unfiltered testimonies” are, in truth, manufactured scripts extracted through coercion, bribery, and threats, designed to mislead the public and justify the militarist crackdown on democratic dissent in the Philippines.

The formation of organizations composed of alleged “former rebels,” organized under the close direction of the military and intelligence agencies, is a state-sponsored ploy aimed at legitimizing repressive policies, red-tagging, and the silencing of legitimate criticism against the Marcos Jr. regime’s corruption, foreign subservience, and anti-people programs.

Año’s recycled lies and fear-mongering narratives do more than insult the intelligence of the Filipino people—they actively obscure the real, deeply rooted causes of the armed conflict in the Philippines. Landlessness, joblessness, widespread poverty, fascist state violence, and a foreign-dominated economic system that denies the Filipino people sovereignty and justice are still the norm today.

Año’s attempt to weaponize “former rebels” in the information war is a desperate move in the face of growing international exposure and condemnation of human rights violations under their “counterinsurgency” programs as well as the mounting call to abolish the NTF-Elcac. It also exposes the regime’s failure to crush the revolutionary movement, which continues to persevere and grow.

It is not the revolutionary movement but the ruling classes and their security apparatuses who exploit the urban poor, workers, farmers, and indigenous peoples—through demolition, union-busting, land grabbing, environmental plunder, and killings of rights defenders. Far from being deceived, the Filipino masses experience firsthand the crushing poverty, joblessness and lack of access to basic services that further foment their resolve to join the armed struggle in the countryside. The people’s democratic revolution is a rational, collective response to a system that offers no meaningful future to the youth, urban poor, workers, and peasants.

Kabataang Makabayan reiterates its commitment to a just and lasting peace—one that addresses the fundamental issues of land reform, national industrialization, and democratic rights. We call on all Filipino youth, students, migrants, and professionals, to reject the fascist propaganda of the AFP and NTF-Elcac, and instead join the struggle for genuine change and national and social liberation.

NEWS: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) on Wednesday proposed legislation to eliminate the intelligence community’s surveillance tools that “erode” Americans’ civil liberties.

“For over two decades, rogue actors within our U.S. intelligence agencies have used the PATRIOT Act to create the most sophisticated, unaccountable surveillance apparatus in the Western world,” Luna said in a written statement to Breitbart News.

Luna introduced the American Privacy Restoration Act, a bill that would repeal the USA PATRIOT Act, a sweeping September 11th, 2001 terrorist bill that drastically expanded government surveillance.

Elizabeth Goitein, Senior Director for the Liberty & National Security program at the Brennan Center for Justice, described how the post-9/11 law dramatically increased warrantless surveillance of Americans’ communications:

The thinking of "leftists" outstrips a given stage of development of the objective process; some regard their fantasies as truth, while others strain to realize in the present an ideal which can only be realized in the future. They alienate themselves from the current practice of the majority of the people and from the realities of the day, and show themselves adventurist in their actions. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

@DrFell yes the new pope was the old pope's number one pick. Since he appointed over 100 of the 130 or less voting Cardinals we should have seen this coming.

So the new pope was given the name "Leone", which literally translates to "Lion", a reference to the lion of the tribe of Judah - Jesus, the magical Jew.

Btw the first pope who changed his name and started the trend, was pope Mercury, because his was the name of a "pagan" god, the horror.

This pope likely won't be as woke as the last one, not because he's any different, but because Jews are currently promoting cuckservative values worldwide.

The idea of reading 1984 in school was to teach us the signs of dystopia so we'd steer around them.

However, at the time wealthy Americans had already been waging continuous war on the middle class for decades while politicians corrupted the US Federal Government in order to provide a direct path for the wealthy to purchase taxpayer funded corporate welfare at an incredible value of several pennies for each US taxpayer dollar dispersed.

Now we are a weak nation of cowards and wage slaves in thrall to sociopaths, criminals, and drug addicts.

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

  • Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
  • Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.

Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
  • Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
  • Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society.

He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
  • Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
  • Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.

Hey Installer Devs - an installer feature -- copy another system's install?


Please let me know if there is already an accepted way to do this.

Early in the install process, you'd have a field to type a hostname of a local machine that you'd like to install like. The installer would download an "Install facts" file and install the new machine like the model machine.

The "install facts" file is created at install time. it contains things like timezone, language, percentage of disk space for each partition (to handle disk space of differing sizes) Optional files selected, username/password for root and for first user - anything needed to make the install a two click operation.

Note that this would be a full new install - not a clone of a machine that has been in use for a while.

For Debian there's Preseed, for Arch there's archinstall, for a Fedora/RHEL there's Kickstart, for Alpine there's setup scripts, for distros with fully manual installs, you could just write a script?

Automating your install is something any sysadmin and mainly any distro developer will quickly reach towards, so it is something almost certain to exist.

Though, if I understand you, you'd want that to be "sourced" from an existing system, yes? I can see the use of that...

My son just sent wife and me a text. He went to the business office at his college and asked them to give him the total amount that has been paid on his account over the whole four years. He said that they had never been asked to do that before and it took them 30 minutes to figure out how to do it. He sent us the number, it was rather huge. Then he said "This was all you people. Thank you very much. I'm very grateful."

Yemen, graveyard of invaders and Trump gives green light for ‘final solution’ in Gaza thewallwillfall.org/2025/05/08…

🇺🇲
🔴 Les États-Unis sont le premier trafiquant de drogue au monde et ils sont les héritiers de la Grande-Bretagne, qui a utilisé l’opium contre la Chine et contre les peuples du monde afin de contrôler et d’occuper leurs ressources.

Aujourd’hui, la drogue se répand aux États-Unis, et au lieu de s’attaquer honnêtement à la crise en criminalisant et en interdisant les drogues, ils trouvent des excuses à la Chine.

Cela ne résoudra pas le problème.

Caricature du Yedioth Ahronoth aujourd'hui : Que prépare Trump pour Netanyahu ?! Personne ne le sait, pas même Netanyahou.

Suite au cessez-le-feu avec les Houthis, et au milieu des spéculations qui ont agité la presse israélienne ces dernières 24 heures, on attend la déclaration de Trump concernant Gaza et si c'est la surprise « positive » dont il a parlé et qu'il annoncera avant son départ...

La politique des surprises, titre du Yedioth Ahronoth ce matin, n’a rien de nouveau. Trump avait déjà surpris Netanyahu en reprenant les négociations avec l'Iran alors qu'il était assis à côté de lui devant les caméras des journalistes à la Maison Blanche.

Le monde est confronté à un président américain narcissique qui cherche à se placer au centre de chaque scène et à la transformer en un état d’excitation et de suspense, même si c’est au milieu des cadavres et de la faim.
