  7. I am really liking LXQT! :gutkato_koro:
    It feels substantially modular, simple, lightweight, and power-user friendly!
    I love seeing an QT desktop that’s independent the behemoth KDE. :kde:

    Another cute thing: No need to mess with gsettings or some dedicated command to mess with the config of a running system, you can just write to config files in ~/.config/lxqt, and it’ll be applied on-the-fly! Loving it~

  18. Oh, I think I just realised what people mean when they say ‘have your cake and eat it too’. :gutkato_surprizita:

    They probably mean eating your cake and having your (uneaten) cake in your possession, both at once, which is impossible. :gutkato_datreveno:

    To me it always sounded like you get a cake and then you eat it, which is much less impossible. I mean, if you have a cake, then you are most likely going to eat it, and if you are eating cake, then of course you need to have cake. You could give someone cake and not let them eat it, but why would you do that? Who does that?! Really, the phrasing is just needlessly confusing! :gutkato_kapturniĝas:

    31/03 16:47.40 < Bahhumbug> "Sounds like an excellent time to start honing your Debian skills"
    31/03 16:47.47 < Bahhumbug> That time was some time back actually :)
    31/03 16:48.15 < Bahhumbug> Also: "expect massive headcount hits"
    31/03 16:48.59 < Bahhumbug> It's bad when the company gaslights their own employees :(
    31/03 16:49.32 < TrevorH> I'm sure we can also expect an increase in QA headcount to catch the inevitable bugs that AI generated code will contain
    31/03 16:49.37 < TrevorH> right?
    31/03 16:52.58 < Bahhumbug> QA is one of the things that ML is good at.  Not sure why they still have a QA department to be honest.
    31/03 16:53.32 < Bahhumbug> If nothing else toss a LLM at making up coverage tests for OpenQA.
    31/03 16:53.41 < TrevorH> I think I got out of computing just at the right time
    31/03 16:55.26 < Bahhumbug> I would strongly encourage anyone to learn a skill.  And currently that means learning how to use your hands for something other than punching keys on a keyboard.
    31/03 16:55.33 < Bahhumbug> everyone*

    31/03 20:21.10 < Bahhumbug> You'd be surprised just how well fire works against armor that has people inside it.  Or electronics.  Or things that go *boom*.
    31/03 20:21.54 < Bahhumbug> Tanks and other armor on their own are just moving targets.  No infantry or close air support == no armor in a pretty quick hurry.
    31/03 20:22.26 < Bahhumbug> Also flame throwers have gotten a lot better for some silly reason.

  30. Spying on Iran: How MI6 infiltrated the IAEA
    Leaked confidential files indicate the International Atomic Energy Agency was infiltrated by a veteran British spy who has claimed credit for sanctions on Iran. The documents lend weight to the Islamic Republic’s accusation that the nuclear watchdog secretly colluded with its enemies.

    #lang_pt

    Never has there been so much talk about democracy as there is today, and yet true democracy is not practiced in any country. Democracy is only a screen covering up the dictatorship of capital. Even before the war, the conservative English writer Fullerton called France a “financial monarchy.” Capitalism exploits democracy because this form makes it easier to conceal its iron dictatorship. The government, parliament, and press are merely clerks, servants of financial and industrial groups and trusts.

    In his reply to Kautsky, who contrasted the proletarian dictatorship with “pure democracy,” Lenin emphasizes that one cannot speak of “pure democracy” as long as there are clearly defined classes. There is only class democracy. “Pure democracy is a false phrase used by liberals to fool workers. History knows bourgeois democracy, which replaces feudalism, and proletarian democracy, which replaces bourgeois democracy.”

    The history of the 19th and 20th centuries, even before the war, showed us what the much-vaunted “pure democracy” under capitalism really is. Marxists have always argued that the more developed and “pure” democracy is, the more open, brutal, and merciless the class struggle becomes, and the more obvious the oppression of capital and the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. The Dreyfus affair in republican France, the bloody reprisals of the capitalist-armed mercenary army against striking workers in the free and democratic American republic, — these and thousands of other similar facts reveal the truth that the bourgeoisie tries in vain to hide, namely, that even in the most democratic republics, terror and the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie reign supreme, manifesting themselves openly whenever the power of capital seems to be losing ground.

    The imperialist war of 1914–1918 proved once and for all, even to the backward workers in the freest republics, that genuine bourgeois democracy is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Tens of millions of people were killed to enrich German and English millionaires and billionaires, and a military dictatorship of the bourgeoisie was established in even the most free republics.
