- 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.

Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.

Mexico City, May 22 (Prensa Latina) Government authorities will brief on the country's economic situation and the latest progress on Plan Mexico, which aims, among other objectives, to increase national production and strengthen the domestic market.Luis Linares Petrov (Prensa Latina)
Hey folks! I'm getting a fresh laptop for the first time in about a decade (Framework 16) in a couple of months and am looking forward to doing some low-level tinkering both on the OS and hardware. I'm planning to convert into a "cyberdeck" with quick-release hinges for the screen since I usually use an HMD, built-in breadboard, and other hardware hacking fun.
On the OS, I'm planning to try NixOS as a baremetal hypervisor (KVM/QEMU) and run my "primary" OSes in VMs with hardware passthrough. If perf is horrible, I'll probably switch back to baremetal after a bit. But, I'm not likely going to be gaming on it so, I'm not likely to have much issue.
Once the hypervisor is working in a manner that I like, I should have an easy time backing up, rolling back, swapping out my "desktop" OS. I've been using Linux as my pretty much my only OS for over a decade (I use MacOS as a glorified SSH client for work). Most of my time has been on distros in the Debian or RHEL families (*buntu, Linux Mint, Crunchbang, CentOS, etc) and I pretty much live in the terminal these days.
With all of this said, I am coming to you folks for help. I would like you folks to share distros, desktop environments, window managers that you think I should give a try, or would like to inflict on me and what makes them noteworthy.
I can't guarantee that I'll get through suggestions, as my ADHD has been playing up lately, but I'll give it an attempt. Seriously. If you want me to try Hannah Montana Linux, I'll do it and report back on the experience.
EDIT: Thank you all for your fantastic suggestions. I'm going to start compiling them into a list this weekend.

I made this post because I am really curious if Linux is used in offices and educational centres like schools.
While we all know Windows is the mac-daddy in the business space, are there any businesses you know or workplaces that actually Linux as a business replacement for Windows?
I.e. Mint or Ubuntu, I am not strictly talking about the server side of things.
Linux in corporation fails in multiple ways, the most prevalent is that people need to collaborate with others that use proprietary software such as MS Office that isn't available for Linux and the alternatives such as LibreOffice aren't just good enough. It all comes down to ROI, the cost of Windows/Office for a company is cheaper than the cost of dealing with the inconsistencies in format conversions, people who don't know how to use the alternative X etc etc. This issue is so common that companies usually also avoid Apple due to the same reason, while on macOS you've a LOT more professional software it is still very painful to deal with the small inconsistencies and whatnot.
Linux desktop is great, I love it, but it gets it even worse than Apple, here some use cases that aren't easy to deal in Linux:
If one lives in a bubble and doesn’t to collaborate with others then native Linux apps might work and might even deliver a decent workflow. Once collaboration with Windows/Mac users is required then it’s game over – the “alternatives” aren’t just up to it.
Windows licenses are cheap and things work out of the box. Software runs fine, all vendors support whatever you’re trying to do and you’re productive from day zero. Sure, there are annoyances from time to time, but they’re way fewer and simpler to deal with than the hoops you’ve to go through to get a minimal and viable/productive Linux desktop experience. It all comes down to a question of how much time (days? months?) you want to spend fixing things on Linux that simply work out of the box under Windows for a minimal fee. Buy a Windows license and spend the time you would’ve spent dealing with Linux issues doing your actual job and you’ll, most likely, get a better ROI.
From a more market / macro perspective here are some extra reasons:
Unfortunately things are really poised and rigged against open-source solutions and anyone who tries to push for them. The "experts" who work in consulting companies are part of this as they usually don't even know how to do things without the property solutions. Let me give you an example, once I had to work with E&Y, one of those big consulting companies, and I realized some awkward things while having conversations with both low level employees and partners / middle management, they weren't aware that there are alternatives most of the time. A manager of a digital transformation and cloud solutions team that started his career E&Y, wasn't aware that there was open-source alternatives to Google Workplace and Microsoft 365 for e-mail. I probed a TON around that and the guy, a software engineer with an university degree, didn't even know that was Postfix was and the history of email.

Recently, a guy noticed that I was using it and asked why?

A couple of years ago I had started pointing all my working documents and projects and shit to my Nextcloud server as opposed to storing stuff in ~/Documents or whatever.
I mean, I still store shit in ~/Documents but it tends to be shit I need, but that I'm not necessarily working currently, or constantly.
And today, my practice of pointing to my Nextcloud share saved my ass.
I'm working on something and I ran into a snag. Did some googling and the results came back suggesting I reinitialize the project to get past my snag.
None of the posts and docs I read mentioned that if you reinitialize a project that has already been initialized that it's a destructive act.
30 years in IT and I knew better. I knew better.
It's late. I'm going on 4 hours of sleep and I'm retired right now. Cut me some slack!
But one of the victims of this lapse in judgment was a document I have been working on all fucking week. I have invested well over 40 hours into this document already.
And just like that it was gone.
Immediately tried extundelete but since the document wasn't deleted but was overwritten that attempt failed miserably.
But Nextcloud....
Nextcloud keeps a version of every document changed on its system.
And there was my document from 45 minutes ago perfectly safe and sound just waiting for me to restore it.
One click. One second. Everything restored.
Thank you Nextcloud. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Air raid sirens sounded Wednesday evening across Askalan and several Gaza-enclosed settlements, following a fresh wave of Palestinian resistance rocket fire.
According to Zionist media, three rockets were launched from northern Gaza shortly after the initial siren alerts, setting off a second round of alarms in the northern Gaza envelope. The strikes reportedly targeted a Zionist tank gathering stationed along the perimeter fence north of the besieged Strip.
Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that the barrage was launched at the occupied cities of Asdod and Askalan. The group confirmed the operation was “in response to the Zionist massacres against our Palestinian people.”
The renewed resistance response comes just hours after the occupation forces confirmed the death of a First Sergeant and the injury of another soldier in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, earlier Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the occupation military acknowledged the death of one of its soldiers during ongoing confrontations in northern Gaza.
Around a week and a half prior, additional Zionist soldiers were reportedly killed in separate operations by the Palestinian Resistance.
According to the Zionist Public Broadcasting Corporation, one soldier was killed at the time during confrontations in the al-Janina neighborhood of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. He was reportedly struck when an RPG hit a building during the confrontations. Two other soldiers were injured in the same incident.
In the same area, another soldier from the Golani Brigade was killed when an explosive device detonated beneath a tank from the 188th Brigade, wounding the entire crew.
Additionally, a Reserve Sergeant First Class was killed in an operational traffic accident near Nahal Oz along the Gaza border. The soldier was reportedly struck by a truck during an engineering mission. The exact circumstances remain under investigation.
Palestinian Resistance groups announced several operations against Zionist troops, as the latter launched their wide-scale ground invasion of Gaza, further escalating the genocide against Palestinians.
Palestinian Resistance fighters detonated a pre-planted GBU-39/B bomb abandoned by occupation forces, destroying military vehicle during its advance on al-Muntar Street in Gaza City’s al-Shuja’iyya neighborhood on May 12, al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement reported on Tuesday.
In the same context, Abu Khaled, the spokesperson for the Martyr Omar al-Qassim Forces, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), confirmed that one of their combat units, operating in northwestern Gaza, set up a well-planned ambush for a Zionist infantry patrol in the al-Atatra area.
Abu Khaled explained that the area had been rigged with explosive devices. The fighters lured the advancing troops into the ambush, where they opened fire and detonated the explosives beneath the soldiers, causing direct casualties. The Zionist force was forced to call for drone-supported reinforcements.
The spokesperson explained that the operation’s staging area had been prepared with explosive devices, allowing the fighters to draw the advancing Zionistforces into the ambush, where they unleashed gunfire and detonated the planted explosives at close range, inflicting direct casualties among the soldiers and forcing the Israeli unit to request drone-assisted reinforcements.
Abu Khaled added that the group’s commander, Zakaria Rami Abu Ouda, was martyred in the fighting, noting that Abu Ouda’s comrades managed to retrieve his body from the battlefield and return it to their positions.
Meanwhile, the occupation military acknowledged the death of one of its soldiers during ongoing confrontations in northern Gaza, identifying him as Yosef Yehuda Hirak from the 601st Engineering Battalion. This brings the total number of Zionist troops killed since the war began on October 7, 2023, to 857.
In the same area, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, had earlier announced carrying out a coordinated ambush against occupation forces in the al-Atatra area west of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip.
According to the al-Qassam Brigades’ statement, three military vehicles were targeted with two “Shawaz” explosive devices and a “Tandem” shell, followed by direct confrontations with another Israeli force. The Brigades confirmed that the operation resulted in dead and wounded among the occupation forces, with Israeli military helicopters seen landing at the site to evacuate casualties.

It seems that some Israelis are finally realizing that Israel loves land more than either Arab or Jewish children.

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: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
- Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
- Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
- Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
- Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
- Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
- Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
- Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
- Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
- 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.
- Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
- Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
- Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
- Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
- Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
- Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
- Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
- Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
- Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
- Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
- Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
- Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
- Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
- Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

Got some responses to my posts about CASABLANCA along the lines of "I wasn't expecting it to be good, because it's black and white. But it turned out to be really good!"
And while I love many black and white movies, I get it. B&W means "old," and old movies can have a lot of baggage for a modern audience. They were paced differently than modern movies are. They were directed differently, acted differently.
I feel like the world needs a Black and White Movie Appreciation Starter Kit. A list of B&W movies that absolutely still stand up for modern viewers. Slam dunks.
Obviously CASABLANCA should be on that list. But what else?
Almost every genocide in history was conducted in the name of self-defense, from Armenia to Nazi Germany to Rwanda and Sudan. There is always an existential threat, an imminent danger we must defend ourselves against. There's always a "legitimate" reason to maim and starve and blockade and bomb. We never target civilians, we do everything we can, yet somehow they die by the thousands.
We ain't special, we're right in the footsteps of all other genocide perpetrators.
