These are some pacman+fzf implementations from the arch wiki + a flatpak implementation i did with fzf(still needs some polish but it works).

A Cuban teenager was offered a job doing 'construction work' in Russia. Instead he was sent to fight on the front lines in Ukraine. (www.businessinsider.com)

A Cuban teenager unwittingly found himself on the front lines of the war in Ukraine after accepting a job offer he received on WhatsApp to do “construction work” for the Russian military, according to Time magazine....

Another country has called Xi a 'dictator' and China is not happy with that description (edition.cnn.com)

China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.

The paradigm of computing pushed by Linux is just plain better. Package managers, FOSS, variety of software, terminals, contribuiting, etc… these exist in Windows/Mac but idk its like they are side stuff, not the main focus.

The only one talking about vaults of cash is the comment i replied to 😂 what no reading comprehension does to a mfer, the “vaults of cash” is something he pulled out of his ass.

What i am saying is that he is dumb to think rich people are rich because they invest and poor people are poor because they don’t invest.

bennieandthez ,
@bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml avatar

It boils down to poor people are poor because they don’t invest, and rich people are rich because they invest 😂 nothing else matters!

bennieandthez ,
@bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml avatar

This is just plain wrong. The majority of people don’t get to “decide” to spend/save, they live paycheck to paycheck. The people that can make that decision are actually incentivized to NOT spend but to “invest” (aka loan) because interest rates are higher, and thus get better returns.

Inflation is really a wealth transfer from the poorest to the wealthy since wages don’t keep up with inflation.

Now you can figure out why deflation is considered a bad thing by mainstream media.

Precious metals are commodities, money is used to exchange commodities. Using a commodity as money is obsolete. I get that youre mad at the feds but that’s a systemic problem, not moneys fault. Its like getting mad at biotech for the practices of Bayer.

These commodities are not inherently valuable, the labour required to extract them is what gives them valuable.

@bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Yeah of course, you can always trick people into believing something has value when it doesn’t. But as long as you know where value comes from, no one can trick you into buying a Pokemon card.

Youre actually contribuiting to it by saying middle and low classes.

bennieandthez ,
@bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Because class is determined by ur relation with the means of production (you own them or not) NOT by arbitrary wage tiers.

The middle class concept fogs the real class dynamics, makes workers think they’re not “low”/working class because there is always someone poorer. Petit bourgeois think they’re middle class because there is always someone richer.

bennieandthez ,
@bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Exactly, that’s what determines your class. Low/middle/high class does not make it clear, it further divides workers.

Did we kill Linux's killer feature?

A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans. It was such an amazing feature. Something that users of proprietary systems hadn’t even heard about. We had this on desktops before things like Apple’s...

@bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml avatar

You can just alias the update commands and have it as a a single command…

In theory it just reduced parked cars. If 100 people need to go somewhere at the same time, you still need 100 ubers to do it.

Uber pool would actually reduce cars in circulation but for some reason americans can’t share rides and even then buses are just a better way to do it.

bennieandthez ,
@bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml avatar

You used to call taxis to pick you up not just wait for one to randomly pass LMAO, that was solved by cellphones. Individual Uber drives do not solve anything, it is still one car to take one person somewhere, it does reduce parked cars tho. Uber pool did help alleviate traffic but its hard for americans to share rides for some stupid reason, and even then a bus would be more efficient.

bennieandthez ,
@bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Because mainstream media said so!

Tbf uber pool DID help in theory alleviate a bit of traffic but americans are allergic to sharing rides. And even then buses are several times more efficient.

Change my Mind! - I like the linux,but some things keeps me staying on Windows.

Recently, I switched from Windows to Linux, tried many distros, and ended up with the Ubuntu rolling-release. Things went well for some days, but I started facing some issues like printer issues, gaming performance issues, and overall Ubuntu performance issues. So, I switched to where it all started, which is Windows 10. Now...

What if i told you that marxist theory is not some isolated idea from a random guy but the conclusion of a scientific analysis of economic history through the lens of dialectical materialism, and built on top of the works of many other people?

An easy way too look at it is that marxism is for economics what darwinism is for biology.

The best read on this is “Dialectical and Historical materialism” by Stalin.

You could swap unity with any company really and it would be the same. once a business goes for an IPO, whatever mission/vision it had turns into making shareholders happy and fast. Profits go directly to shareholders by stock buybacks instead of R&D/salaries, so they have to squeeze consumers more and more with the same products to keep it up. it’s tragically comic that you mention Steve Jobs kinda talking about it when Apple turned into the GOAT of this stuff.

Im looking forward to what happens next, do they hardcode it so the runtime doesnt work if it doesnt receive a response from home, effectively making it “must be connected to internet” or will they allow us pihole users to bypass the telemetry.

Stock buybacks, where a company buys its own stock to inflate stock prices and reward shareholders, are reeaally common practices. Obviously, shareholders have to sell stocks to cash out.

UBI with capitalist relations of production is simply not sustainable.

bennieandthez ,
@bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml avatar

This is where you realize that capitalists don’t care about improving society, they just care about maximizing profit.

Full employment means full utilization of the productive forces of say society, but it also means there is a high demand for workers and a low supply thus the price of labour increases which is bad for business.

When an industry reaches a certain stage of development, capitalists make agreements with each other (economic cartels) effectively turning into monopolies and begin the cycle of destroying productive forces to increase profits. They reduce labour cost by doing massive layoffs, inflate the price of goods by decreasing production, etc… A very clear example of this is the oil cartel (OPEC), but it happens silently in every single sector.

bennieandthez ,
@bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml avatar

UBI in imperialist countries comes from the global south people labour.
