I think linux distros are a coinflip on if they like your hardware or not, sometimes it feels like they just don’t like you individually as a person.

When I use fedora for example, everything that can go wrong does go wrong. It’s in theory not any more complicated than debian, but I’ve never had good luck keeping a fedora system healthy.

With Debian, usually the best troubleshooting tip I can give people is try installing testing instead of stable. Sometimes the kernel in stable is just too damn old for the hardware you want to install on.

The best thing you can do is just never center white people. 99.999% of the time that’s the wrong way to frame your argument.

I fully understood what you were trying to say, but I can’t say the responses you got are at all that surprising either.

👍 Will do!

Eyy, I appreciate the green light.

I sent him a message on discord so we will see!

I think this is incredibly fair and I am sure he has already seen this post and read it, but nonetheless I will forward it to him.

The only thing I’ll say is that point 5…I really don’t think anyone else on revolupedia even uses this site? I have an account on there but I have made maybe 2-3 pages on there at most. I’m just not all that good of a writer haha. Any accounts you think are his are 99% probably his. We actually used to make jokes about this in RS because Saul just has so many fucking alt accounts for every single possible website/service. “All of us are Sauls alts!” and other jokes like that.

I hope it didn’t sound like I was trying to say that everyone should just get over everything that happened. Rather, I just didn’t know what else to do for him. It’s not like people haven’t told him before to stop coming here. I probably tell him this atleast once a week.

Anyways, I’m sorry for any and all stress you’ve had to endure because of his behavior and hope that you can enjoy the rest of your day.

In the extremely unlikely event that indigenous people got direct executive control over what happens in the continental united states, I don’t think they’d even want the mass exodus of all white people. Nor do I think they’d want full cultural assimilation. My entire life, the prevailing narrative has always just been the end of systemic oppression. Very frequently I’ve heard indigenous rights activists demand the free use of/free travel across land for things like hunting, which is a pretty small ask. Just because this or that action would be justified, doesn’t mean it’s the action people want. IMO the second minority ethnic groups feel safe and represented these kinds of mass exodus narratives will fade away. Doubly so if there was a transition to socialism that went with it, and some thought went into identifying the different national identities (so something akin to a soviet of nationalities could be formed).

Debian just works.

Even a system that uses 90mb of ram on a cold boot will accumulate gigs of stuff in cache if you’re using it. (assuming it has the memory for it) That isn’t what people have a problem with though.

Maybe this is an incorrect use of language on my part, but I feel like I’m not the only person who means “memory actively being used by a process” when referring to memory usage. I understand the whole linux ate my ram thing. That just isn’t what I or what I assume a lot of people mean when talking about this.

When I boot up my system, pull up my terminal, run htop, and see 800-1200mb being used just by processes (not in buffer, not in cache), that doesn’t raise any flags or anything, but I also know that some people have gotten their systems so streamlined they use 10x less than that. That’s all memory that could be used by other things. That could be the difference between a low memory system running a web browser or not. Could be the difference maker in a game someone wants to play on their system. There are endless possibilities.

I use it because I’m frankly too dumb to use something else, but if that wasnt the case, i dont think id be speaking fondly of it.

I’m a ram usage fetishist, I absolutely disagree with the “unused ram is wasted ram” phrase that has caught on with people.

I see some of these distros running a graphical environment with only 90mb ram usage and i cream myself. All of them run something other than systemd, usually avoid GNU stuff, and…require you basically to be a developer to use them.

I already run a half broken, hacked together system due to my stubborness, I can’t imagine how fucked I’d be if I tried one of these cool kid minimalist distros.

I just wanna be edgy and post images of skeletons riding motorcycles T-T

Bah, lemmy, please just let me devolve into a reactionary right winger! Stop making me learn things and have empathy and compassion for people!

You’re right. Fuck. It’s just tiring being wrong. I grew up in a way that getting mad about something like this would just be replied with “tough shit”. I guess old habits die hard. If changing it really makes that much of a difference for people, then yeah, great job gnu people.

I wish the country the best. These housing projects seem to have been a big focus the last few years.

The only correct answer.

Linux users are gooners confirmed.

I grew up calling racoons “coons” in the region of the US I live in and it’s still common to call them that nowadays. Words can have contextual meanings. If I hear the word “removed” and it turns out some guy is working on his car, I’m not going to be offended, and I shouldn’t be, because it’s not being used as a slur.

All said and done, I don’t particularly think it’s a big deal to change it, but I do believe it’s a highly performative gesture.

That’s a massive reach.

Yeah after a good bit of my own investigation, they just seem on par with any other poor country. Not something I’m going to worship, but not something I’m going to spend time complaining about either.

There are good movies, and then there is Popeye The Slayer Man. Nothing in between for me.

Hi, one of the former members of Red Spectre here.

There was a roughly 50/50 split over some interpersonal drama in the group that led to the creation of CLO, which lasted for all of 2 seconds before also dissolving. (We did keep control of all the social media accounts and Revolupedia though) In the short time we did exist as CLO, we revisited several topics, including the topic of Hoxha, and overall came to the conclusion that we had taken an ultraleft position and were attempting to correct it. Wenger then, was acting on behalf of CLO, not independently when the changes to the page on Hoxha were made. Most of the bans were people who were on the other half of the split. Nothing anymore complicated than that. As far as Statesian Bolshevik being banned, I’m sorry that it happened.

RS/CLO membership was very young, most of the membership was 17 or 18 when I joined the discord last year (some were even younger than that). They had next to no actual organizing experience. Despite this, they all wanted to try and create something around an ideology that they felt was right, and I thought some of their writing was impressive all things considered, so I stuck around and tried to help the best I could. Ultimately I think given the age of membership, a bit of “ideology shopping” as you put it is to be expected.

Wenger has always been the #1 contributor to Revolupedia, and so when CLO dissolved we voted and unanimously thought he should have it. As for the recent shift to a more Maoist perspective, well, I’m not entirely sure about it myself. It did feel somewhat sudden, but all the power to him and the rest of the site if they feel that is the best theoretical line to hold.

I won’t sit here and say that I think Revolupedia is mature, consistent, or even all that reliable of a project in its current state, but I do think it has all the potential in the world to grow into one over the next several years as its editors find their footing. There are already many parts of it that show the potential, it just needs time in the oven and more contributors.

Also yes this account is somewhat new, I’m in the progress of migrating from a lemm.ee account under the same name.

no valid video. Do I have something configured wrong?
