Your Keyboard broke and the boss won't get you a new one? Just sneak the order number into the next BOM. You will certainly not regret the 13€ Keyboard and Mouse combination from a component distributor.

expectation: learning english for gainful employment abroad

reality: learning english to partake in political misery unfolding overseas

subtoot, FOSS politics, capitalism

Can I just mention how much I hate the phrase "open source properties"?

That is all.

I have been learning more about PDFs than I really wanted to for maybe the absolutely most funny reason possible - letting agency forgery: https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/73317.html

The Amphora of Great Intelligence (AGI) Part 2

A comic strip in four panels:

Panel 1. A bird's-eye view of the top of the Amphora of Great Intelligence, a wizard in yellow colors is on the stack of books from the content of the amphora. He yell at a crowd of wizard at the bottom of the Amphora, a crowd of red wizard. Some other wizard in red evacuate some grimoires, their arms are full of books. On the top, you can see an onion (for The Onion) and a cover that looks like the Reddit mascot:  
> Wizard in yellow: Alright, I've cleared out a few grimoires to tweak it, we should get better results now!

Panel 2. A view of the wizards at the foot of the Amphora, the fire is intense, they all raise their arms in incantation:  
> Crowd of wizards: Amphora of Great Intelligence, our world is dying, share your knowledge with us!

Panel 3. The Amphora of Intelligence starts speaking, this time very seriously. The mages are still speechless.  
> Amphora: Stop chasing profits blindly, reduce your reliance on fossil fuels, and prioritize repair and recycling over production.  
> Crowd of wizards: ... ... ...

Panel 4. A discontented red wizard yells at the wizard in yellow who tweaked the content of the Amphora in panel one. This one feels surprised:  
>Wizard in red: I don't like this. Let's adjust it again.

Testing GNU Taler at was fun. And by fun I mean mostly unspectacular. It just worked. I scanned a QR code. I got some Kolle Mate.

I think some sort of GNU Taler integration into would be pretty cool.

If you would like to integrate Taler into Conversations there are currently funding opportunities available¹ from @nlnet and both the Taler developer as well as myself are happy to help with scoping.

    I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Leninism, is in fact, Marxism-Leninism, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Marxism plus Leninism. Leninism is not an ideology unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Marxist ideology made useful by the 『Manifesto』 , 『Capital』 and vital ideology components comprising a full ideology.

    Many communists run a modified version of the Marxism ideology every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Marxism which is widely used today is often called Leninism, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Marxism ideology, developed by Marx and Engels.

    There really is a Leninism, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the ideology they use. Leninism is the methodiology: a set of working methods for achieving the goal of communism. The methodiology is an essential part of an ideology, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete ideology. Leninism is normally used in combination with the Marxism ideology: the whole ideology is basically Marxism with Leninism added, or Marxism-Leninism. All the so-called Leninism distributions are really distributions of Marxism-Leninism!

I was sharing some pictures with @aral this morning of the places we live in. He shared some from Ireland, and I shared some from Gaza🗝️

It broke my heart to go through my old album of photos of my house before it became rubble bulldozed by the Zionist machinery.

But I have to remind myself of the truth—that it's been leveled to the ground, I have no home, and the criminal perpetrators are still doing this to the remaining homes in the Strip.
