Karl Marx: The simple circulation of commodities - selling in order to buy - is a means of carrying out a purpose unconnected with circulation, namely, the appropriation of use-values, the satisfaction of wants. The circulation of money as capital is, on the contrary, an end in itself, for the expansion of value takes place only within this constantly renewed movement. The circulation of capital has therefore no limits. As the conscious representative of this movement, the possessor of money becomes a capitalist. His person, or rather his pocket, is the point from which the money starts and to which it returns. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
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.

Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. 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. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.

I use Silverblue and MacOS daily, I enjoy the former so much more.
Unfortunately my relatively new Lenovo laptop has a small but also major driver bug that hasn’t been fixed in all the time I’ve had it. Bad to the point I got the Mac to have actual working hardware. But I do not enjoy MacOS.
Laptops specifically have been such an Achilles heel for Linux due to driver issues and battery issues. I honestly would just rather stick with OSX and containerize. The thing that might test that is X86 support lapsing at least for some of my MBPs.

MK-Ultra, CIA Mind Control & Brain Washing to Make Assassins Project MK-ULTRA, or MKULTRA, was the code name for a covert CIA mind-control and chemical interrogation research program. #USA #US #american #CIA #mkultra #psyops #fraud #mindmanipulation #history
MKULTRA Subproject 1: Isolate and characterize the alkaloids of ipomoea sidalia choisy (Rivea Corymbosa) MORI ID: 17354 Contractor’s Clearance: TOP SECRET Location: Princeton University Years: 1953 ― 1954 CIA Monitor: Robert V. Lashbrook
MKULTRA Subproject 2: (See Subprojects 124 and 140) Miscellaneous research and testing services in behavioral modification. 1. Study the possible synergistic action of drugs which may be appropriate for use in abolishing consciousness through animal experimentation. 2. Survey of methods to enable the administration of drugs to patients without their knowledge.
MKULTRA Subproject 3: (See Subprojects 16, 42, 132, and 149) Realistic field testing of R&D items of interest to Technical Services Staff. This is the infamous safehouses known as Operation Midnight Climax.
MKULTRA Subproject 4: Subprojects 4, 15, and 19 are to fund the contractor, a magician, to write a manual on the various aspects of the magicians’ art which could be useful in covert operations. The result was Mulholland’s Manual, declassified and published in 2009 as The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception.
MKULTRA Subproject 5: Successful demonstration of “potentialities of hypnosis as a tool of the clandestine services”. Research in hypnosis was to determine if: hypnosis could be used as a memory enhancer, a learning aid, a polygraph deceiver, etc. Also,research into susceptibility of certain personality types to hypnosis.
MKULTRA Subproject 6: Develop reliable source of LSD within the United States and assist in the search for additional natural hypnotic products. Previously supplier, Sandoz, based in Switzerland.
LINMOB.net is a blog about LINux on MOBile devices. With the PinePhone (Pro) and Librem 5 shipping it is back to report on GNU+Linux on mobile devices.
The PinePhone Pro tangent in the "Sidenote: What about the Librem 5?" section in linmob.net/gtk-418-the-pinepho… had to be corrected after playing with Megapixels 2.0 alpha 1 on the #PinePhonePro
I still daily drive my Pinephone. I've been looking for a good replacement for it but I still haven't found anything.
I've been thinking about getting the Pro, but the state of the software is not quite there yet (at least from what I've been reading). The best option I found is the Fairphone 5.
I really hope something better comes out before the OG Pinephone becomes completely unusable. The FP5 is more expensive than I need and I'd rather buy a Linux-first device.
@k8ie I think it really depends on which OS you want to run, and what the time frame is. If the PinePhone works for you, I don't think there's any much need to worry. I was actually almost positively surprised during my experiments that led to the blog post: Mobian Trixie (which ships GTK 4.18) worked surprisingly well overall from SD card, and the Alpine 3.21 container is nice and small and keeps a working Megapixels around.
@k8ie For current options, it's not too easy: - FuriLabs FLX1 reportedly is a good experience, but no mainline, - RK3588s options (Liberux Nexx, dawndrums Divine D) seem multiple months away, - FairPhone 5 lacks audio support on mainline (USB-C dongle works though), - Shiftphone 8 (same SoC as Fairphone 5, but 12 GB RAM is supposedly shipping in August) and how well support will pan out is unknown. OnePlus 6, Poco F1, Pixel 3a are affordable, but also aging (with hard(er) to replace batteries).
Second attempt.

Israel says it targeted senior Hamas figure Mohammed Sinwar in a massive airstrike near a Gaza European hospital Tuesday night. Hamas denies the claim, as uncertainty swirls around his fate, and ongoing ceasefire negotiations.
@TXPatriot2021 if every station showed the talks/interviews of the foreign dignitaries they wouldn’t be so surprised. The honors that have been shown POTUS have been awesome. Everyone has smiles and eager to talk to him and shake hands. I know ya’ll don’t like FOX and I talk them with a handful of salt, but they have been broadcasting most of the stuff going on. It really should be on all TV like the Space ships were. It’s historical.
I just found out about TLP - a module to download with apt, which is a good utility for maintaining the laptop battery. You can set a minimum charge value, and a maximum charge value. But it is not sufficient for my use case. My question is - is there any utility I can use to discharge the battery WHILE connected to AC?
The reason behind this is: I want to use the solar power during the day to charge up the battery to 80 or 90% and then discharge the battery in the evening to 15-20%. Afterwards use AC power again. The solar energy during mid-day is cheaper and available in abundance.
On a big level with many computers this could make a good impact on the energy network, or am I wrong?
I've got a 2021 Dell laptop. In uefi, you can set charge times and type of charge, 50%,80%, full, and smart. I think it's in like 1/2 hour blocks by day. By that I mean on (day of week) from 9:30am to 6:00pm charge full, different day may have different settings. .
@Intheflsun @Floopquist What I meant is that I do not think you can have it discharge the battery when AC is present without altering the PD chips firmware.
The converter says "Output: 65W" So it would be something, and a good place to start as the battery is there anyway and is plugged in all the time too, anyway.
That's the absolute maximum output, a typical laptop uses more like 2-6W while running.
Plus cycling the battery like that will wear it out faster, and they're generally only rated for 500 or so cycles. The replacement cost would likely easily over come any savings.
Somebody is going to #hack these #AI companies so bad.
They absolutely are not even thinking about #InformationSecurity or #CyberSecurity. At. All. No startup does. Hell, even cyber security startups rarely think about their own cyber security. And when it happens it's going to be a shit-show like none we've ever seen or imagined.

This is why we say "critical support". China gets a lot of things right but this definitely is not one of them and they can and certainly should do better on this.
This is probably the biggest thing most of us who support AES states criticize constantly.
Do you want China to be another USA? Because interference with the open market and manipulating other nations with tariffs and sanctions is something China promises not to do unilaterally, unless they are attacked in the same way. Thus, China cannot interfere with normal Chinese-Israeli business. Does that mean construction materials and labour will go to construct things where the Chinese government itself may not want? Sure, but it also means the Chinese will never cut you off unilaterally.
The only way to change this is to petition the UN for global sanctions. But USA will clearly block anything with help from their allies. China simply refuses to take any market distorting actions, and like it or not, construction is absolutely normal business activity.

After refusing Russian passports, Ukrainians who left Crimea are losing their homes to forced sales. Rights groups say Russia's property seizures in occupied Crimea amount to systematic expropriation.
The problem with stupidity is that it doesn’t have a natural opposite.
What I mean by that is that lies are exposed and destroyed by truth.
Ignorance is erased by knowledge.
Foolishness is curbed by wisdom.
But stupidity remains undisturbed by reason, wisdom, argument or new information. The act of stupidity requires shutting off all inputs that could otherwise intrude upon the stupid idea.
When you fight against stupidity, all you do is make the mess worse, and get it on yourself.

🇮🇱🇵🇸💥 28 morts d'un coup : la frappe massive d' #Israël contre l'hôpital européen de #Gaza à été dévastatrice Dans la soirée du 13 mai, les forces israéliennes ont attaqué l'hôpital européen de #KhanYounis, dans la bande de Gaza. Selon Al Jazeera, au moins 28 personnes ont été tuées. Parmi elles se trouvent des patients et du personnel médical. Les frappes ont touché directement le bâtiment de l’hôpital, provoquant une indignation considérable au sein de la communauté internationale. 🇮🇱 L'armée israélienne affirme avoir frappé un centre de commandement et de contrôle du Hamas, qui aurait été caché sous l’hôpital. Le ministère israélien a déclaré avoir attaqué l'installation dans le cadre de la lutte contre les terroristes, mais n'a pas précisé dans quelle mesure l'attaque contre les infrastructures civiles était justifiée. L'hôpital européen de Gaza est un hôpital public palestinien fondé par l'Office de secours et de travaux des Nations Unies pour le Proche-Orient ( #UNRWA) en 1989 avec une subvention de l'UE. L’hôpital fournit depuis longtemps des soins médicaux aux réfugiés palestiniens et aux habitants de la région souffrant de la guerre et du blocus.

My 17yr old was ranting last night about teachers encouraging the use of AI and how stupid it was.
They had done a quiz about a film, and the quiz had been ai generated. They spent most of the lesson pointing out all of the mistakes in the quiz and the woefully incorrect answers.
It became an impromptu lesson on why you *shouldn't* use AI.
I still think it’s backwards that mass shooters owning assault weapons is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

Unfortunately my relatively new Lenovo laptop has a small but also major driver bug that hasn’t been fixed in all the time I’ve had it. Bad to the point I got the Mac to have actual working hardware. But I do not enjoy MacOS.
