Everybody wants to be a member of the British parliament, even when they don’t speak English

There are now many examples of this; the common theme is Palestine.
We already have a significant number of MPs who are openly hostile to the natives, and their only interest is thousands of miles away in the Middle East or their homelands.

The total estimated cost of running for an MP in the UK typically ranges from £15,000 to £50,000 or more

The question is, how are they affording it?
Where is the money coming from?

politics (general), invitation for discussion

I have a good imagination of how I want the world to be like: freedom for everyone, fair distribution of goods and services, optimization for the well-being of everyone, prevention of suffering.

But I don't know how to get there, against the resistance of neoliberal capitalism and the opposing push of fascism. Ideally we'd get to a better society with minimal violence and suffering. But how?

(Answers welcome)

@Chishiki611 yeah, exactly, the line of thought is that we are never going to topple the ruling class on the system they designed

btw this is not an invitation to say voting is useless, i disagree with that, improving material conditions is always valuable

@Chishiki611 oh i meant voting as “if we can make stuff less shitty for a few years that’s good, but we’re still going to need a revolution” kind of way
this is more of anti-accelarationism statement, if anything

Condolences to all of the LGBTQ teens who were rejcted by their families and committed suicide or were tortured by conversion therapy because of bigots like James Dobson.

I suggest we commemorate James Dobson's death by sending a donation to The Trevor Project.

“They lie non-stop — both the military echelon and the political echelon,” Brik added. “In every raid, the IDF Spokesperson’s announcements said: ‘Hundreds of terrorists were killed,’” he continued. “It’s true that hundreds were killed, but they weren’t terrorists. There is absolutely no connection between the numbers they announce and what is actually happening.”

I was idly listening to a libreoffice impress presentation for wagie related stuff last week and was really distracted by how someone's phone's screen was on the entire time and she didn't seem to care.
I just learned that iToddlers got this new feature called "always on display" where... you have a display that's always on to display useless information :senkohm:
what an amazing innovation, sasuga steve jobs tensai!
and when I read the comments on this, the crapple herd loved this feature because... "I don't have to touch my phone to look at the time while I'm working or studying." :mito_laugh:

Mort de Jean Pormanove : la bonne et la mauvaise censure

MET police say they will have their dedicated area for girls and women who get sexually assaulted at this years Notting Hill carnival

What kind of lunacy is this?
Along with the stabbings, shootings, and massive drug use!
If there is going to be so many women sexually abused that there's a need for a dedicated area for them, then I would argue that this event is a danger to the safety of women and shouldn't go ahead.

I ask you, what other event would be allowed to go ahead if it had the potential to be a rape fest?

[SOLVED] on debian 13 xfce, what appearance style do I need so the title bar doubles its width?


I use a small notebook so it comes in handy to double the title bar to have space to increase the title font to 16 or 18

On debian 12.11 this was the case, but I don't remember how I configured it or what style I used. The style I now use on debian 13 is adwaita

This made me think of something only slightly related. When my son was 10 he we were in the attic and found a box with computers in it. One was a dos machine, the other an ancient and clunky windows 3.1 laptop.
To him they were archeological relics. I was skeptical that they would boot after 10+ years in the attic, but they did.
He thought the dos machine was broken, til I ran lotus 123 and wordstar. He thought W3.1 was better. Played with them for hours, then took them apart.
