I'd definitely describe myself as a communist, but I do realize we never had a proper communist state on this planet, just authoritarian states that acted like communists to win over the workers. Capitalism needs to be regulated as fuck to create a fair society, so for now, I strive for socialism, because I understand going straight to communism probably won't work.

Sorry if this was uncalled for, I just wanted to show there are sensible communists who don't excuse Russia and China for the shit they're pulling. But neither do I excuse the west for a lot of shit we are pulling.

It might have worked in that regard but at what cost? An authoritarian state that commits genocide inside it's own borders, so yes it clearly failed in the regard that it does not treat everyone equally, a core principle of real communism.

Thanks for your reply :) I might look into it if I don't find anything easier

Is this a simple question? It's hard to tell from my inexperienced position. I have a few friends who are more experienced with linux than I am, and they help me out from time to time. But when they are not available and I am unable to find something on google after 15-30 minutes, I tend to start posting to forums haha

How have you read the part you quoted without reading the package name right in front of it?

[SOLVED] Drop ENTR media keys on linux

I recently bought a Drop ENTR, and I would like to use the media keys. On the drop.com website it says that using FN + the F-keys should work, but “Fn hotkeys may work with Windows operating system only.”. Well, for me it doesn’t work. Any ideas as to why that could be, or how I could go about creating a workaround?...

meekah OP ,
@meekah@lemmy.world avatar

Good idea! I found the command sudo showkey -k and found out which key codes are triggered by the FN+F-key combos. It seems the keycodes for FN+F4 and FN+F12 are already mapped by KDE. I think I'll be able to work with this, thanks!

At first I thought you were talking about dating lmao

Hmm I definitely agree that computers, and especially smartphones, are pretty damn amazing inventions.

But I agree with another poster when it comes to the greatest invention. When we invented the printing press, it allowed our species to develop much quicker because we were able to share information/education much better.

While antibiotics are a very important discovery in medicine, I believe the biggest reason medicine was able to develop like it has is the printing press.

That's the one with the aliens with the circular writing characters right?

edit: Oops nevermind, it's the dandruff shampoo commercial. Despite that its a decent movie, I agree.

Yeah I only recently first read that people bring their cats to the vet for trimming claws. I didn't even know that was an option before. I couldn't imagine having to pay for all that.

Why is there a surge of deodorant products mostly advertised to women in the US?

So I have balls and yeah they're the first thing on my body to start to smell. I can skip a shower if I'm in a hurry and I don't smell much. That's with working a job that's usually physical. I was a punk kid fucking punk girls when I was younger and we didn't bathe every day. I didn't notice much smell then....

People produce different amounts of body odor. Also it's better for your skin to not use shampoo every day. 4-5 times a week is totally fine.

@meekah@lemmy.world avatar

I meant to write soap, not shampoo, my bad.

Probably has to do with the temperature where you live though... It's different in colder climates, which is apparently most of the world if that's really the coldest time of year. I'd suggest to try showering with just water once in a while. It should remove most of the sweat and odor, without attacking you skin.

I tried pop in November last year. I've since tried nobara, mint and now arch. I hate it because many arch users are so obnoxious but the AUR is invaluable, I think. It's a bit more work to setup, but with the new arch install script it's really not so bad. Watch out for the partitioning bug though! You basically have to manually partition your drive currently, because of an off by one error.

I'm too lazy to enter my correct birthday anywhere, I just scroll to random places and klick something. Plus I hope it confuses the data krakens, at least a bit.

What was your most recent dream?

This post was inspired by a dream misadventure I had last night where I was just minding my own business getting gophers out of the rice field, then suddenly on the intercom/announcements (which I did not expect to have in my dream, since I was outside, not in a building), a voice said "attention, this is a representative of the...

I honestly think it's too late already. The world as we know it will cease to exist soon. We are already clearly seeing the effects of climate change, and there is much more to come based on the current level of co2. Not to mention that we keep pumping more of the stuff into our atmosphere.

I'm super happy that Jimmy likes to be close to me

Jimmy next to my leg

I feel relief after pulling off my toenails, whats wrong with me?

When I pull off my toenails I feel relief. It still hurts to do but afterwards I get a sense of overwhelming calm. Ignoring the pain aspect, It's kind of similar to the feeling of having a blocked nose become clear. Is this indicative of anything?/ does anyone else experience something similar?

meekah ,
@meekah@lemmy.world avatar

I accidentally ripped out my whole toenail once and it was painful as hell. You do that and get a feeling of relief? That does not sound normal to me at all

Just don't clip up to the pink part and youre fine. I use regular fingernail clippers for that.

We are finally legal. Since 11 days now! Still doesnt really feel real.

Not sure why you're comparing to the covid tax rebate. That was a one time thing and not something permanent

meekah ,
@meekah@lemmy.world avatar

I'm not asking anything from you. I'm just saying you're comparing apples to oranges. If there are no apples to compare to, so be it.

They don't do that mistakenly. They just realized most of the time a few passengers don't show up so overselling makes sense to keep the plane full.

I think it's the same in america. But yeah, the airlines will of course try to wriggle out of this

Well, technically the nasal cavity is also connected so its a bit more complicated. If we ignore everything from the throat up, then you're right.

I would say most mid range boards have diagnostic LEDs now. My gigabyte b450 board has some, for example, which I consider solidly mid range not high end.

I think they got it from us Germans. Basically throw whatever into a bowl with Mayonnaise, boom, salad.

Yeah I second this. OP's workplace sounds toxic as hell, so getting a doctors note for being stressed out is fine I think.
