Can I ask a doubt?
Bourgeoisie, Petite Bourgeoisie, Proletarait & Lumpenproletariat

What would be simpler terms(or brief 3-5 word plain language explanations) for those?
Ultra rich wealth/land hoarders/exploiters, Their immediate managers, facilitators and upper mid-level wealth/land hoarders, Average workers & Average people who are dissatisfied?

Not a USA-ian, but weren't issues like racism and homophobia worse off then?

Stupid... Gonna read up

Then you're not stupid, right?

Thank you tho. Thought that I'd get negative responses.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact

Recently got banned in a community when I brought it up, when they talked about the latter.

I'm Indian, didn't really have to read too much(on such treaties and other stuff. We do learn about the dates, major groups involved and our own people) about WW1 and WW2 before getting on the internet forums.
But how is it in Western countries?

Also, is the Bengal famine of 1943 taught?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943
I only got the gravity of the situation after reading about it and seeing pictures on the net.

Are there any other events that should be more known by others, in your opinion?

I hope this is not too political. If it is, do forgive me, I'll delete this.

Is this the 'progressive overload' that I hear in youtube videos?

[–] Achyu@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Aah yes - Look, those authoritarian socialists are fighting monarchist/imperialist/colonial forces for the freedom of their land, redistributing land to the poor and giving voting rights to women etc. Let's coup them and install druglords or despots there.?

Are you on the other side trying to sell us on Freedom and Democracy™(oil lover edition)?

Dual booting WinOs 11 and OpenSuse Leap 15

I only use OpenSuse rarely tho.

Need Win11 to run stuff like Ansys for college.

The Hindu is sort-of centre-left

In Malayalam(main language of Kerala), there's:
https://www.deshabhimani.com/
http://www.janayugomonline.com/

They were founded by leftist parties, so there might be not enough critcism of the left. But exposure to regular media will balance that more than enough.

I think there are similar ones in other languages such as Theekkathir(Tamil Nadu), People's democracy etc.

Was probably not aware of it b

Though, as a non-native speaker of English I was first introduced to the word through Edubuntu.
So, GIMP = GNU Image Manipulation Program for me before I learnt any other meaning

So, self-hypnotism time

They did a stupid ass job them

They probably didn't expect their president to be idiotic enough to be against vaccines and recommend stuff like bleach.

They're a developed nation and could've had better control.
They were able to hinder Chinese trade a bit.

And didn't they try and fail to kill Castro in many stupid ass ways?

I think them doing it is more likely than China doing it to their own, considering the trade issues that the virus caused for China at the time.

And again, they were the first to use nuclear weapons on civillians. Did it twice even.
I don't think they'd have an qualms about using biological weapons, if they thought that it'd give them an edge.

They also can float the 'China virus' conspiracy to confuse the public and make them anti-China too.

[–] Achyu@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

My personal conspiracy theory is that the Chinese government did engineer (or at least selectively cultivate) COVID

The theory I'd believe more is that the U S of A govt or one of its agencies engineered and released it in China.

China and India are growing economies, with decent populations and a pandemic would seriously delay their growth and help the U S of A keep it's top place for a bit longer or destroy its competitors.

I've heard the theory being given decent thought by non-western people. And it's equally, if not, more believable than the other one.

The US is the only country that has ever used nuclear weapons on civillians, so them using biological weapons on civillians would not be a big moral barrier for them or a big stretch to think about.

They probably didn't think it'd spread this much and their own citizens n even president would be idiotic enough to be against vaccines and masks, when people were dying.

Apps that I know:

  • For images - Pocketpaint, Freepaint
    Fossify Gallery has a basic editor with draw, crop and filters. Tux paint is also nice to draw stuff.
  • For video
    • Video transcoder allows basic cutting of audio n video.
    • Saw an app called Bunny media editor, that allowed basic image and video cropping and cutting.
    • I've also heard that some people use Termux for it

Are there other apps like these?
Which all apps do you use to edit images/videos and make memes etc?

 

One that use the camera to give an approximate distance between two objects?

Tape measure has some features, but needs a known reference object in the same plane. And most of the predefined objects are not common where I live. It does have an option to define custom reference objects.

But are there any apps that do not need a reference object?

Thanks in advance.

  • I have recently started using RSS feeds to get news and other information. It is quite time-saving.
  • Recently found out that word could open pdfs for edits. Used to upload pdfs to websites to get it converted into some editable format. I think Libreoffice can do the same.
  • Got that spinning type of mop and mopping has become a bit easier.
 

I've recently read about it, and it seems straight forward.
Materialism makes sense and things getting resolved through the resolution/interaction of contradiction/opposing forces too.

Though curious on how it is used as a tool to analyse and resolve problems.
Especially in the lives/localities of those who study/use it.

I don't much about philosophy, so forgive if I made any wrong assumptions or if this question is weird.
Please do recommend any online sources that may help me there, in that case.

Also, would it be better to ask this in another sub, as this question maybe political?

NetGuard - https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.faircode.netguard/
TrackerControl - https://f-droid.org/packages/net.kollnig.missioncontrol.fdroid/

How was your experience with them? Differences in battery life etc.

Another doubt:
I had tried NetGuard some years ago to restrict internet access of apps like Gboard n Gdrive(I use the pdfviewer associated with it. Any lightweight foss alternatives to it?).
Was planning to use it again, but saw that eventhough they have a recent update, their Github doesn't allow issues and the latest pull request are from 2023. Is there some change in the app? Have they transferred to Gitlab or Codeberg.

I don't know much details about programming, so asking the doubt here because of the Simple apps transfer issue that I heard recently.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Mentioned the usecase for gdrive

I use f-droid to update the app. Didn't see the recent updates and saw the failed build after a search.
https://monitor.f-droid.org/builds/log/com.jerboa/71#site-footer

I don't know much about programming... not sure whether this is an issue to be resolved from the side of Jerboa or F-droid. Had doubts whether I should inform of the issue in Jerboa's github and sharing this here because of that.

F-droid seems to have done a recent cleanup of apps, focusing on non-foss stuff. Not sure if that has an effect, but sharing the info.

^Maybe related:
Builds of com.dessalines.thumbkey:96 and com.dessalines.rankmyfavs:11 seem to have failed too.
https://monitor.f-droid.org/builds/build (The page lists failed builds at the end)

Anyone know where the issue is to be notified to? Or where I can learn more about the issue? I did try to read the log file and this message seems noteworthy:

No hash for gradle version 8.9! Exiting.

 

I don't keep auto-sync on repositories turned on and use an rss feed from the fdroid subredd to follow updates to the repo.
I also know of https://monitor.f-droid.org/builds.

Are there any other methods or official feeds?
