I'm beginning to understand some of the frustrations that people acquire when they start getting older.
I used to just soak up sciency stuff. Not that I understood very much, but I felt like I understood "enough" to get some benefit out of it.
Anymore though...it just doesn't register. It's just words. The words don't have meaning anymore. It's like reading a dictionary in a foreign language or something.
And it's frustrating as shit. I *used* to be smart.
I'm trying very hard not to blame the *world* for my inability to grasp seemingly simple concepts, but man, it's hard.
Of course, there are other factors at play. Some of this stuff I would have probably learned in school, had these things existed way back in the last century. I have heart disease which lends itself handily to brain-fog.
On the other hand, as we watch the world fall to the same mistakes that our forebears made, I'm equally as frustrated by other people not grasping what I find to be obvious repeats of history.
The worst people have power. Has that always been the case? The dumbest people are destroying education; has that always been true?
I don't know, but I do know that I just don't have the brainpower to suss out the truth, and as one of eight-billion, I'm pretty sure that even if I *did* understand the truth, it wouldn't matter. Such a small voice screaming into the void will surely not be heard.
I'm tired. And I'm ready to be done with the whole mess. Nothing to see here.
@pathfinder Lol...I've never found joy in running.
And you're right; none of it matters. But my rational brain and my emotional brain are in disagreement and fight that battle every single day.
@flowerpot I would be happy to find a new/another special interest. I'm pretty sure that they "why" boils down to my health (mental and otherwise), but it is maddening to not understand things that I feel like I should understand.
Again, thank you for your help and suggestions...they will simmer for awhile and I'm sure that there will be even more value to be gained as I process.
@flowerpot My first "health" goal is to quit smoking. Unfortunately, without any sort of real support structure for my mental health, that has gone badly. Whenever I'm two days into quitting my depression spirals and...well...let's just say that the crisis lines have advised me to not quit smoking until that changes.
I do need to work on my cardio.
I've been helping neighbors with yard work and such as I'm able...I figure some exercise is better than none. Plus, I've got to maintain my house and yard here, so I'm getting a lot more exercise than when I'm in the US twiddling my thumbs.
I haven't played with my diet much...I'm so used to "fast food" or just heating something in the microwave that that's a whole 'nother burden I'm not ready to shoulder. I *do* eat healthier here, but only marginally.
The whole thing is a process...one that I'm trying to manage slowly, because "all at once" almost never works out for me.
@flowerpot I got Covid once, but "seemed" to recover from it ok. Unfortunately, the symptoms of long-covid are very similar to the symptoms of advanced heart disease, so I suspect regardless of the actual cause, that's probably a lot of what's going on. Until they find a way to clean the plaque out of my arteries and it becomes a cheap enough procedure for me to qualify, I'm pretty sure that's not going to change any time soon.
What gets me is not just the lack of understanding of how the economy works here, which frankly isn’t even that complicated, it’s that people lash out whenever you start pointing out that the system serves the oligarchs who are exploiting them.
There is an undercurrent of aggressive ignorance in western societies. I get the impression that it’s really hard for people to accept that the whole promise of democracy is a lie and that they don’t have any real agency within the system.

There is nothing more antisemitic than the forcibly associating every Jew in the entire world with war crimes and genocide as if those acts would be innate to every Jew, as some kind of ethnic trait or some such nonsense,
as of course they are absolutely not and is simply not how humans work,
no matter how much the domestically extremely disliked government of Israel keeps trying to conflate their own culpability for actual mass scale war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.
Legitimate criticism against the acts of any State, any State rulers, any militaries, police, diplomats and other State representatives for the acts of the State which they chose to represent and/or rule, can only be "racism" if one first presupposes that there is one and exactly one State for every ethnicity and nobody is allowed to live in or otherwise associate with anything else more than that State, but that presupposition is of course in itself pure racism, a presupposition of ethnic cleansing and complete deprivation of freedom of movement, freedom to like and to love anyone else than within some arbitrary lines on maps, as if such arbitrary lines on maps would be more important than humans and our actually innate long distance social relationships, cooperation without demanding reciprocity, humaneness.

I've been on the fence since I've been trying Hyprland. What I want out of a window manager / DE is lots of window customization settings (borders, animations, etc.), & having configuration inside one file or one directory with hot-reloading (I'm switching from KDE since its config files all over the place). Hyprland is very popular among WM users with a large ecosystem, though I prefer stacking rather than tiling. I can make it work with some window rules, and shell scripts using hyprctl & jq.
I'm wondering how many little things I will need to fix / figure out. For instance, when I open the firefox bookmarks library with CTRL SHIFT O
. When that window is open but not focused, and not on top, if I press CTRL SHIFT O
again on a DE it comes back to the top, but not on Hyprland. I could probably find a fix for that?
I might be answering my own question but I really want to hear thoughts.
hyprctl is a utility for controlling some parts of the compositor from a CLI or a script. It should automatically be installed along with Hyprland.wiki.hyprland.org
1st turnoff for me was the creator added this anime background which overwrote whatever background you had. I found the file and wrote a hook to automatically delete it on update reverting to mt background, only to find that there was a condig option to do the same thing
2nd The maintainer is a bigot and I won't support bigotted projects when there are other (better) options like sway which I know use.
TLDR: Creator violates Wheatons Law. I don't like that.
There's an option in the config to replace the default anime background by a more sober one with the hyprland logo (wish I had know that BEFORE doing a presentation on a large second screen for the first time and realizing that hyprpaper kept my custom background on my workspaces but defaulted to the anime wallpaper on the second screen because in hyprpaper backgrounds are configured per screen 😂 ). And no matter whether you use that option or not, it shouldn't overwrite the background you choose. It's displayed only if you don't have any background configured. Otherwise it's either a bug or misconfiguration in hyprpaper.
Definitely not going to defend the dev on the other stuff.

We, as the fighters and commanders of the People’s Army TİKKO, have learned that CPI (Maoist) General Secretary Namballa Kesava Rao alias Basavaraj and 27 commanders and fighters of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) were immortalized on May 21.
For this reason, we send our condolences to all the workers, peasants and laborers of India, especially to the fighters and commanders of our sibling army PLGA. We respect the memory of the immortals and declare our eternal commitment to their struggle.
Throughout his entire life of struggle, Comrade Basavaraj worked for the liberation of the workers and peasants with a consciousness of fire and a will of steel. He dedicated his life to the freedom of the poor people living on the soil of India. He understood the revolution not only as a duty but as a way of life, and he brought the Indian revolution into existence in his own life.
He passed through the enemy circle countless times; He repeatedly carried out revolutionary attacks against the enemies of the people and against Indian reaction and was in the leading position of these attacks. Comrade Basavaraj will live forever in the struggle of the workers and peasants and the international proletariat for the People’s Democratic Revolution, Socialism and Communism.
The reactionary Indian state, with its expansionist policy and as the gendarmerie of imperialism in South Asia, is pursuing an aggressive policy against the people inside the country and against the lands of other countries in the region. The fascist Brahmanical Hindutva RSS-BJP Regime is using fascist terrorism to defend the interests of large mining companies and multinational monopolies. Under the name of operations against Maoist guerrillas, it is massacring indigenous peoples who resist large mining companies and manipulating this operations by presenting everyone they killed as guerrillas.
In today’s world, where the imperialists are preparing for a new world war, imperialist competition has gained momentum in South Asia. The struggle for dominance over new trade routes has increased regional conflicts. On one side, the struggle for hegemony between the imperialist blocs led by the US and China continues. On the other side, the regional competition between Indian expansionism and Chinese imperialism, the hegemony struggle they have entered into in South Asia and Indochina are gradually evolving the regional tension towards a war. In order to maintain its aggressive line in foreign policy, the reactionary Indian state has launched an all-out attack wave under various names, primarily against the Maoist forces waging a people’s war, but also against all progressive-revolutionary forces.
Today, the reactionary Indian state and its fascist speakers are sending a message to the Indian people by shouting victory cries upon the immortalization of Comrade Basavaraj and 27 Maoist peoples heroes. However, there is something they ignore: from the Naxalbari uprising to the present day, the workers, peasants and laborers of India have built an indestructible bridge of freedom extending from the shoulders of tens of thousands of peoples heroes under the leadership of the CPI (Maoist). This bridge is an indestructible fortress that has been mortared with the blood of martyrs. The current name of this fortress is CPI (Maoist). Therefore, just as the great communist leader Comrade Charu Mazumdar said, “Now is not the time to be sad, comrades, but to rise up like fire.”
We believe that this twist that history has brought before us today will only be an occasion to leap even further on the illuminated path of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism in the flowing struggle of the masses like a flood. The absolute victory of the People’s War will shine like a star in the skies of South Asia.
Once again, we bow respectfully to Comrade Basavaraj and the 27 Maoist people’s heroes and reaffirm our commitment to their struggle.
Long Live the CPI (Maoist)

in reply to Tony Bark • • •This only really works for people who have hardware whose fingerprint readers are supported by upstream fprintd; would be interesting if they (or another distro; haven't seen anybody implement this yet) add a "just works" option for installing and setting up e.g.

(which I use on two of my machines actually), similar to how some distros (Mint included I believe, but haven't dealt with it in a while) give you an option for installing Nvidia proprietary drivers (or just make it work out of the box).However these drivers are extremely sketch at times so...
