It’s a Conky I just hate Conky. The more data they display the more useless they become. Delete the Conky and the screen looks empty. I am reduced to spending hours trying to make the perfect clock. The bane of my existence.
Right now I use pretty much strait pop os because I have only been learning Linux for a year and I need my training wheels. I’m going to start exploring more after cosmic.
It’s more than just “fascist journalist”. Journalists report facts (at least that is what they’re supposed to do), any “blah blah journalist” is just “blah blah”
Also, fuck this guy, he doesn’t fear for his life, it’s just a made up story so they can again shit on those they hate.
One problem is that what they’re calling him is completely inaccurate. “Journalist” implies impartiality, of at least content with a non-zero amount of truth.
You don’t get to own a concept just by putting it in your name.
Nobody put it in their name. There is no “antifa” group. “Antifa” is a boogyman so that the far right can ignore what people are saying by labeling it “antifa”.
Fun Fact: The emergence of the “left” / “right” distinction in the political sense is attributed to the original seating arrangement at the Constituante, the constituent national assembly of 1789 in France.
EDIT: I hate talking about political stuff. Never a correct answer and every word is scrutinized. I hate it.
Politically Right: “Freedom for everyone at all cost”
Lmmfao...
They don't give a shit about freedom for anyone but themselves (and especially not that of people who aren't white, Christian, cis, straight and abled), their actual motives are having as much power and money as possible.
That doesn’t make sense. There are lots of right-wingers who are not in the demographics you listed (the biggest political party in the world to take one example)
You are right about most points, but the right is not and never was about freedom, but about cementing a hierarchical order in society.
It used used to be about Aristocrats in France.
Today it is about keeping the rich in power and by extension to rile poor people against even poorer people (often immigrants).
If you look at politics through that lense so many more things start to make sense.
Old money hates new money.
Right wing middle class people hate poor people.
Right wing poor people hate immigrants.
They want to look down on somebody.
y’all remember the “ring back” tones? i don’t think they ever really took off since they are a ring tone that people hear when they call you instead, which is… just… totally idiotic… but i did encounter it a few times in the wild.
But… you never get to hear it because when do you ever call yourself? So it’s just subjecting everyone else to a song that they may not even like… And besides, the quality was like listening to an underwater phonograph cylinder.
(obviously don’t know your music taste; you may actually have had a great song of decent quality. but i wouldn’t trust everyone with that power lol)
I had something like Danger Zone, or Eye of the Tiger, to get people pumped up when they called me. I don’t remember exactly, but I thought it was fun. Nobody cared if it’s a good song. It was just a neat little gimmick at a distinct moment in time.
I guess its gone from America but it is still very popular in india … partly because the Network Providers give it as a free feature … neat cause my friends never pick up quickly
Is the quality not trash anymore? Maybe it’s gotten better and i didn’t notice, but music over the telephone has always sounded muddy and distorted to me.
I tried so hard to figure that shit out but never managed to actually make anything good (I have zero musical talent), but we had this one friend in the group who had, so they'd always have one of our phones, composing our ringtones lol.. I feel old 😂
I used to have the Monkey Island intro midi as a ringtone. It would start real quiet giving me time to either go somewhere I can talk or if I just wouldn’t notice it would become loud enough to notice later.
I actually made some cash in 8th grade making ringtones. All i did is looking up what buttons to press on the 3210 on the internet. The weird part was that pretty much strangers would just give me their phone over night because i was too lazy to print it out and do it in school. Rumours were around that i had some weird ass set-up at home like deadmau5 to turn axel f into a midi. I was just using altavista and pressed buttons.
That pre internet era was amazing … that sweet spot where the internet was just starting to grow but not everyone had it yet.
My brother had a thriving business at around 1997 1998 1999 ripping custom CDs for people. He kept a library of 40 GB hard drive of mp3 and everyone thought he was a god that could make custom music CDs. I played a few of them a while ago and they are absolute crap but at the time no one cared what they sounded like as long as it was new and customized to what they wanted.
The amazing thing was, his business appeared and disappeared in a matter of about two years. One moment everyone wanted him … then everything and everyone moved on and his business was done.
Those were the days. I impressed people in my high school by being able to switch between music really fast… They were used to CDs, and here I was rocking winamp on win98 with 60gig of mp3s. Most of them poorly produced “weird al” songs with obscene lyrics I had gotten on napster and kazaa.
Crazy thing is… that’s what Trevor Noah did as a youth in South Africa. Had a whole bootleg CD burning business until his setup died and they couldn’t get the files back.
So he turned his life around and became extremely famous in the US.
The person appears to be wearing a diaper. And in the top right corner there’s a post with what appears to be Hebrew writing.
In the right side of the picture there’s a collection of remote controls and I’ve counted several phones and calculators scattered about.
Given the disorganized appearance, and the 5 dollar headphones, I’ll venture a guess that this person is not so much a professional anything, as much as a Middle Eastern hermit wackjob.
Yeah, looks like an electronics hoarder. Each of those things at one time had a purpose, but 90% of it is sitting there unused and needs to be discarded/recycled.
Mickey Gurdus, an Israeli ham radio operator and media listener. In the age before the internet he used to listen to every transmission he could find from his homemade lab.
