I like the simplicity of openrc and runit, they are as stable as a rock and their functions are easy to grasp. Systemd, on the other hand, while I can understand some of the motivation behind it, it still seems like a bad idea and an even worse implementation. In my experience –and I do understand that this might not be the case for many users– it and its modules has been the cause for some really cryptic bugs that took me valuable time to resolve, and which would not have occurred if it was just a init/service management system. On the contrary, openrc just does one job, and does it well. Haven’t much experience with BSD but heard they are rock solid too.

This is quite an oversimplification of Plato’s Republic but it somehow still hits the spot.

This needs to be a real command.

Regardless of political subtext, I found Master and Margarita a fun read. Nevertheless, Heart of a Dog of the same author was not pleasant to read.

Soviet literature was not worse than the works of pre-Revolution authors and ranged across many genres, from socialistic realism works to fantasy (Soviet sci-fi was great) and also many children books that are loved till this day. Unfortunately, same with other kinds of works, Soviet literature is disregarded by the West, as are many works that don’t conform to the Western values.

Not surprising in the least, what else would they use their base on Cyprus for? Surely not for any good.

Cyprus is in a convenient geographical position in the region and it is safe to assume it has been widely used to monitor the situation and collect intelligence on the Gazan conflict.

Beware, this sounds like a correlation fallacy. Correlation does not imply causation.

I agree that there are better choices than blue jeans, though.

/edit/ fixed typo

Yes, it is a good start to understand the dogmatical stance of the Greek CP, as well as other parties under its influence (see the ProleWiki article on IMCWP: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/International_Meeting_of_Communist_and_Workers'_Parties)

A good resource to watch on the activity of KKE and parties that it collaborates with is SolidarityNet, check it out: http://www.solidnet.org/home/

Package “linux” is already the newest version.

That sounds nice and all, but the relationship between time and labour is not linear. So one might put in more effort than another in the same amount of time. Therefore, there are some limitations in using time as such a metric.

I’m going home.

Have a nice week, comrades! I hope it’s nice and rainy wherever you are ^^

Well, it’s not good. People in Greece are already working the most hours in EU, now their bosses will be able to ask them to work an additional day, for which they will be paid 40% more (but that’s hardly a big benefit since wages already already low and product prices are among the most expensive in Europe). Taking into consideration also the high retirement age of 67, you can see how the system tries to maximize output by squeezing more and more out of the working class, a small gain at a time. The high bills for basic services (water and power supply) and other expenses as well as products being expensive as mentioned above, as well as the fear of being fired (syndicalism is not the same strong everywhere) will sure make a lot of workers accept the sixth working day, even if it means it will tire them out.

Improbable. It has been known since at least spring but reactions have been insignificant so far AFAIK.

What happened?

Let us also not forget about their attempt at baking invasive DRM right into the browser.. Not mentioning recent experiments with replacing tracking cookies with “cohorts” and all sorts of privacy invasive “features” that claim to enhance your privacy but actually would help advertisers overcome client-side blockers.

Congrats comrade tavarisch! Really happy it went well for you ^^

Yes, in fact I first saw Spleen when I checked out OpenBSD. I think it uses that font by default in its terminal. It looks slicker than Terminus.

I really wish there existed a scalable/vector (TTF/OTF) version of it. Bitmap fonts are usually good only for UI elements, not really suitable for print.
