Currently we are witnessing a capitalist genocide in Gaza were children are starving to death and the working class are powerless to stop this. But yea denial on both sides certainty is problematic, the issue is though "tankie" communists will argue propaganda as well as the libs and conservatives. We have been bombarded with fictitious narrative that its a real struggle to find comprehensive and honest reporting of previous events.

Last month I read a "tankies" recap on Tiannamen Square protests, it went as far as to say there was no massacre and quoted creditable journalist that had reported a peaceful evening on the night of the massacre, but I equally saw photos of piled up buddies, bloodied police officers and alike. There's also a conspiracy that the CIA staged the massacre or played some rule within it.

Ive also dealt with american denying the genocide in Vietnam, or Americas rule in creating North Korean.

Apparently its to do with a sport car scene where the Chinese couldn't afford such luxuries but still want to participate and westerners or Americans would call these vehicle mods ricing

Now with linux theming we call ricing and that carries a racist connotation. How racist it actually is I am unsure but either way thats the reason people get upset.

I like the dichotomy. Fuck power structure and you may be misremembering the dialogue prier, definitely inflating it though 1000001981

You delete these comments :/ but this is what I said.

Someone had said how communism has caused much suffering, I wanted to add context to the history of communist revolutions.

Being British but having to talk american politics ive started looking to Wikipedia for somewhat non bias information, or more so I am able to easily follow the source which often leads to first hand testimonials, court documents and some such information.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack

I find doing so gives me an advantage when combatting misinformation.

My uncle who seems to get all his insight from Ben Shapiro or as I say dry muff man, and Russell brand/Howard which ever is doing a pod cast theses days.

Anyway a lot of the right wing ideologs tend to side on conspiracy, hearsay. So be well informed and hopefully we can pull the working class away from these grifters.

Something I have stuck in my head and frustrates me, was from years ago news media talking about PTSD in regards to civilians. The conversation felt very dismissive as if it was not possible to suffer from PTSD unless they fought in a war.

recently I was diagnosed with CPTSD due to a horrific home life growing up. Anyway all this has compounded to were I feel like an outsider.

I know cptsd is somewhat common and I'm wondering if anyone remembers this narrative in the news, and if anyone with PTSD/CPTSD has felt similarly?

 

hope this is an appropriate community

Samsung g8 monitor, ive been pining to upgrade my 1080p monitor and thought id go full hug with oled, 4k and higher frame rate (170hz apposed to my previous 144hz),

first cardinal sin: polystyrene packaging.

Second: its apparently smart which I'm taking to mean they added pointless software to it so to extract long term profit from users, have brand deals with streaming company's and to artificially age a product.

I can see a smart TVs making sense, its essentially the evolution of the TV, in general, they started with big antennas and now they have smaller internal antennas, changes to broadcasting has allowed for this.

But a monitor something that has always relied on a secondary system to function now has smart features, why the fuck call it a monitor? Its surely a tv at that point.

Although my disappointment goes further than just the smart aspect, I'd be okay if there was a non intrusive app store, but no the controls have 4 dedicated buttons I will never use, prime video, netflix, Disney plus and Samsung TV plus. If I were to ever use these services I would do so through my PC, or if I had a games console (media centre) I would use that, which then posses the question of what's the point? Did they have old android PCBs laying about the factory and thought fuck it,..

Next issue is how Samsung want me to connect to the internet, its easy to press no to connecting, the issue come from hardware maintenance which is especially important with oled. Oleds degrade quite fast, if I left the monitor on for a day with windows desktop white theme constantly displaying I may run into burn in, so most oled monitors/TVs have corrective software that'll run on command or scheduled, most of these monitors also report its history of corrective operations but Samsung demands I download an app on my phone to view this information.

Why can't tech just be one thing, now everything has to be some kind of Swiss army knife.

Edit: thought I'd look at this app (SmartThings) to see how good/bad it is, download the app and permissions aren't too bad although I dont like that Samsung wants my location, anyway ive two option: top right sign in, centre get started, I click get started and get pulled from the app to my browser met with a message

"Browser not supported

Samsung account can only be used with the following browsers:

  • Samsung Internet
  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • QQ Browser
  • UC Browser
  • Sogou Browser
  • 360 Browser
  • Safari
  • Chromium
  • Brave
  • Microsoft Edge"

I am using chromium on android... This is just ridiculous. Plus a redflag to Samsung needing me to be connected to the internet whilst using the application which uses Bluetooth to connect to the monitor.

Another edit: multi screen is locked, I can't use two inputs simultaneously to create a split screen unless I connect to the internet. Ridiculous. I had this capability back in 2016 with my old lg ultra wide and now my hardware functionality is locked because I am choosing to stay offline.

Who can I go to in the UK for anti consumer practice's?

If you've seen it what's your thought, if you've not seen devotion then watch it. Great camera work, characters and intense action scenes.

 
 

got an orange pi one kind of like a raspberry pi, initially was for hosting zonemider (self hosted video surveillance) so what projects would lemmy recommend?

https://github.com/squid-slime i wasn't able to code other than bash and a tiny bit of python but learning json and css through waybar has been an enjoyable experience. all thats left is a notification daemon that uses css, recommendations are welcome

 

Edit: Go to bottom to read resolution:

am trying to make a stable link to read t-sensor

$ sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/t_sensor-temp-stable-path.rules
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="hwmon", KERNEL=="hwmon*", ENV{HWMON_NAME}=="asusec", SYMLINK+="t_sensor_temp", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'ln -s /sys/class/hwmon/%k/temp2_input /dev/t_sensor_temp'"
$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
$ sudo udevadm trigger

expected result, t-sensor temp2_input file is now linked in /dev/t_sensor_temp

actual result no link in /dev

 $ cat /dev/t_sensor_temp
cat: /dev/t_sensor_temp: No such file or directory

even after rebooting,and running $ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules $ sudo udevadm trigger its still failing to create link.

i have stable links in /dev for gpu and cpu which work perfectly

Edit: so i may of resolved the issue and am adding this to maybe help others in the future worth noting i preface "may of" as im not sure if when a hardware change acures that udev will continue to link to hwmon* temp2_input

i first changed the rule

 ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="hwmon", ATTRS{name}=="asusec", SYMLINK+="t_sensor_temp", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'ln -s /sys/class/hwmon/%k/temp2_input /dev/t_sensor_temp'"

kernel is now not present, "ENV{HWMON}" is now "ATTRS{name}" but with these edits the link still was not created. once i ran the command sudo udevadm trigger --action=add --subsystem-match=hwmon --attr-match=name=asusec then the symbolic link was created. its been frustrating but glad we got the in the end.

if someone can shine a light on the strange behavior that would be great.
