Hi lemmy So i was curious why Enlightenment didn't recieve much adoption in the Linux Desktop. (especially for a fully featured lightweight wayland DE) Ik Bodhi Linux uses Enlightenment, but it's more of Moksha rather then using Enlightenment
Cause - Lighter then LXQT - Somewhat customizable
But I can see people not liking it cause.
the ui(especially for windows users)
Hard to find themes due to it using its own toolkit
I mean, to my knowledge, it's still Rasterman keeping most of the development together. You don't need a ton of adoption when one guy tirelessly works on it.
Although I'm guessing Samsung probably sponsors him, so that's probably quite crucial for him to be able to put that much time into it.
I suspect it just isn't well known. I used it for a while in my early days in Linux, which was back in the late 1990's, and i honestly haven't heard much abiut it over the years.
I do remember being impressed at the time. I think most people stick with the defaults for whatever distro they first choose. Since i was using Slackware back then, there was not a default choice, so i searched and experimented.
Enlightenment has been around for decades, and it was quite a bit more popular in its early days because things like KDE/Gnome/etc weren't the de facto DEs pretty much everyone used like they are now. I used it back when I had a linux box like 25 years ago and it was great, it was very slick and pretty, but now so much is written for KDE/Gnome that it feels like using anything else is just asking for trouble.
Just look at Tizan from Samsung all built on EFL (enlightenment foundation libs), EFL does not have many bindings with other languages and it’s “100% written in C”. The enlightenment OS is super customizable and written in its own component library based on OpenGL they call EGL. It’s a fantastic WM and hopefully Wayland version gets better.
It serves a very specific purpose for very particular people. It's meant to be as minimal as possible, and highly configurable, which means less rich interaction pieces and opinionated design decisions. Lots of developers still use it though.
Based on what I've seen, for a DE to gain much traction, you need at least one well-known medium-large distro putting it as a default on some of their install media—MATE is well-represented these days because Mint backed it at a crucial stage in its development. I don't think Enlightenment ever had that.
Enlightenment is SO configurable that it almost doesn't have a look, and therefore doesn't really have "brand' per se. Take a look at galleries and collections of enlightenment setups: they're all massively different in look and behaviour.
I remember in my early days of Linux (late 90s) it was too much for me.
I was lured to use it during those days as well because of all the cool and wildly different screenshots I had seen. I did manage to get it working and looking super cool, but it was fragile and complex. It was so easy to fully break it in my experience. I tried to use it again about 8-10 years ago and while it was easier than the 90s, it was more trouble than I was willing to put up with for a DE these days. Especially since Gnome (with extension) and KDE could trivially look nice.
When it was first developed it was too heavyweight and too customisable. The effort needed to theme it was huge and a lot of the popular themes were poor from a UX point of view.
Still E16 was usable, and then the development of E17 started about 24 years ago. People are still on E16 you say?
Others have pointed to the very slow development pace. I'll point out something else. When I was first starting out with desktop, Linux enlightenment 16 was one of the desktop options but apart from looking very 'different' to KDE or Gnome, it was damn difficult to get it to look anything other than default. Other desktop managers came on in leaps and bounds but enlightenment just stayed where it was and from what I can tell still is where it was. Meantime, kde and gnome have had multiple major versions and forks. These days I use either xfce or cinnamon, depending on whether hardware acceleration is available. Fundamentally I want my desktop environment to be a launcher for my applications and a way to manage my peripherals and UI preferences. I don't want to be looking at it or dealing with it or spending time thinking about it. I suspect that enough other people feel the same way
I tried it a few years ago. I was really impressed by how lightweight and gorgeous it is. In particular, I found it really cool and actually useful that you got a live view of your other workspaces on your panel. You could even fullscreen a video on your other workspace and then watch (a very small version of) it in your panel.
But yeah, even though I came back to it multiple times, I never ended up sticking around. It would crash regularly (not the worst thing, since recovery was generally seamless, but still meh), but in particular, it had some peculiar design decisions.
For example, if you double-click a window titlebar in virtually any window manager, it will maximize. In Enlightenment, I believe it got shaded (i.e. the contents of the window got hidden and only the titlebar was still visible).
Another prominent one was that its applet for connecting to WiFi and such didn't support NetworkManager, but rather only ConnMan. If you've never heard of ConnMan, yeah, I only know it from Enlightenment, too. Similarly, my distro (openSUSE) didn't package it either (and openSUSE was said to offer a relatively good Enlightenment experience). That's something which should just work, because you can't expect people to look up how they can connect to WiFi while they can't reach the internet.
And yeah, these are just the big ones that stuck in my head. There were lots of smaller usability issues, too. Many things you could fix by changing the configuration, but we're talking many in an absolute sense, too, i.e. you might spend an hour or more just tweaking things so that they behaved like you might expect.
I was really impressed by how lightweight and gorgeous it is.
Maybe a controversial opinion here, but the one thing that everyone says about it is that it looks gorgeous, and I really don't see it. Never have.
Even back when I first tried it out, maybe 15 years ago, I thought it looked strangely retro. Nowadays, compared to the eye candy that is completely standard in GNOME, KDE, MacOS, Windows etc., it looks incredibly dated.
It's all hard edges, low res icons, ugly fonts, and eccentric design choices. Yeah, it can make window elements transparent, but you can't dine out on that one trick for ever.
I certainly think that it has many eccentric design choices. It's not going to be for everyone. Some parts of it, I also think just look bad, which I had to customize. Well, and openSUSE's theming made a big difference, too: simotek.net/tech/projects/open…
"Retro" is also definitely a word I would use, though more positively connoted. It has *different* eye candy to the usual desktop designs, which is a big part of the charm. In a sea of flat designs and tiling window managers, it stands out as its own thing.
pip? Gnome extension for that is pretty great, works like the browser pip but for any window, justa video you can't click on, but useful for stremio and other stuff you need a preview of, still high quality
Well, that was just kind of one example to illustrate that it isn't just a static screenshot, you actually see what's going on in real-time. It's also useful when you're running a longer operation, like OS updates or encoding a video, and want to see when it's done or that it hasn't failed. You can just tell when the command output has stopped moving or a popup has appeared...
I vastly prefer connman/iwd, always had weird issues with NM. Currently running connman-gtk on XFCE.
And tweaking to your needs, isn't that expected for a new desktop setup? One hour isn't even that much. I'm amazed again and again how stuck even technical people can be in their habits.
Well, it didn't feel like I'm tweaking to my needs (that came afterwards on top), it rather felt like I'm just undoing design decisions that someone made to cater to their specific needs.
And I named the time mainly to give an idea of how much there was to tweak. My main problems were: - That I could not undo some of those unusual design decisions. - That it doesn't exactly make the system more robust when you need lots of non-default settings.
If you've never heard of ConnMan, yeah, I only know it from Enlightenment, too.
I used it for a while trying to wean myself off NetworkManager, which has a lot of optional dependencies that distributions tend to link in. So, you don't want Gnome on your system, but you want NM? Too bad, you got Gnome.
Anyway, connman is pretty fussy and not very intuitive. I think it's better for systems that are always on the same network; it's a pain to travel and connect to open networks with.
I work for a certain corporation which uses a certain product. This is its story. To put the quality of this product into perspective, let me say it’s been in development for about 20 years and has pretty much no users (besides my corp and some “hey …
My bet is that this happened because they do develop both the Enlightenment desktop and the E libraries, which is a tremendous amount of work. Add to that that if they are a small team, they're not going to go relatively fast (afaik E17 took years...). Maybe it was the reason GNOME/GTK(+) and KDE (which began with an already developed GUI library) caught up.
But as I always say in this kind of posts, both Enlightenment and E are amazing and I so wish they were more rich featured and popular and, if I were the XFCE mouse and got fed up with the bullshit of the GNOME-ization/libadwaita-zion of GTK, I'd consider porting all my shit to E - it would be awesome if those two merged into one. GTK and E are both written in C, XFCE has a robust set of apps and a seemingly bigger team behind it...
I used it when I used arch linux on a PC with 4GB RAM and an HDD. Enlightenment loaded up in no time compared to even sway, looked pretty and had quite a few features like not terminating session if there are open apps and wallpapers per workspace! Its native apps like file manager and terminology were also extremely snappy. Using E apps felt like I had an NVME instead of HDD and I felt like I had a full desktop instead of a minimalistic WM without sacrificing speed. Switched away when I got a PC with good specs overall & a real NVME and iirc the desktop was crashing every now and then on the new PC. The default UI is very weird, you need to place most of the app icons by yourself and I think pressing Meta doesn't invoke the app launcher? Also I cannot start E with wayland currently, I could on v0.21.
As someone who loved it, this was it. We waited forever for the next release which promised a full desktop environment, it never happened, we moved on to stuff that actually existed. I understand there IS ongoing development and even forks, but i frankly have no idea how is it these days. If i found out you can just apt-get a full E-based DE tomorrow i would definitely consider dedicating time to test it, specially if it's still considered to be among the lightest, because man, when it was at it's best it was very much the promise of a Hollywood Hacker style desktop, it was awesome and you could do nearly everything on the keyboard, plus it had a gazillion themes.
I have used Enlightenment 16 for around ten years with episodes of fooling around others like blackbox, fluxbox, ratpoison, icewm, gnome and even KDE but always went back. I just loved that look I could get with that ripple effect at the bottom and gkrellm: my computer looked straight out of a science fiction movie.
Most of that time I was waiting for E17, it would be looking so good I was telling myself. It was taking so long but they were creating the foundations to something so powerful that the wait was well worth the wait I kept telling myself.
Then one I was finally able to try it, just a few components at an early stage, but it felt so crappy that I must have waited another five years before I gave another look at it. At that point it had improved but not nearly enough to consider it as a viable option.
My tastes changed too, I still like good looking but I value efficiency more so I have been using I3 for a long while. Yesterday I saw a video about a similar one hyprland, I might try it if I can resolve to switch to Wayland.

Get ready to have your mind blown by “BlackRock’s Bitcoin Scheme: How Wall Street Giants Are Bilking Poor People Out of Money.” This video dives deep into the shocking reality behind the Bitcoin hype and exposes how BlackRock and other Wall Street titans are quietly taking over the crypto world while everyday people are left holding the bag.
In “BlackRock’s Bitcoin Scheme: How Wall Street Giants Are Bilking Poor People Out of Money,” you’ll learn how just 1% of entities control nearly 90% of all Bitcoin, and how BlackRock alone has amassed over 530,000 BTC—making them the second-largest holder on the planet. The video breaks down how institutional giants use thousands of wallets to hide their concentration of wealth, while the media and crypto influencers keep pushing the myth of “decentralization.”
We’ll also reveal how new deregulation moves—like Trump’s rollback of IRS crypto broker rules and the SEC’s so-called “innovation-friendly” policies—are making it even easier for Wall Street to dominate, while retail investors get crushed by scams and volatility. “BlackRock’s Bitcoin Scheme: How Wall Street Giants Are Bilking Poor People Out of Money” is your wake-up call: Bitcoin isn’t the revolution you were promised. It’s become another playground for the rich, and the real winners are the same financial giants you thought you were escaping.

🔗TL;DR As we need to take more concrete steps to improve the financial situation of the Foundation, we will be rolling out a freemium offer for the matrix.org homeserver users. The alternative is to turn off the server, which we want to avoid doing. The goal is for the most active users to support the cost of the service. Free users will have limits on how they can use the service (mostly around media). The change can be supported by any client with limited to no development. Premium plans will be rolled out over the summer, and we will be iterating on the exact scope in the first few weeks.

fazzoletto scancanato tra sporcizia e disordine!!!
Ecco stamattina un nuovo rapporto sullo stato delle cose del mio mondo scombinato, concentrato su un ennesimo dettaglio che nessuno ha chiesto ma che tutti meritano di conoscere… anche perché è sempre bene rimarcare accuratamente i miei territori (la mia cameretta e il mio blog): un fazzoletto che è rimasto sulla mia scrivania, dopo aver visto più di qualche giorno di utilizzo, ed è decisamente mutato dal suo stato originale (no shit Sherlock!). Questo improprio pezzo di arredamento, che funge ovviamente anche (perché ridotto in questo modo è più così che non il contrario) da strumento di sollievo contro la mia allergia (che a metà giugno ancora imperversa, non ci voglio veramente credere), è decisamente rustico, umile, essenziale, ma comunque speciale. In qualche modo, a furia di soffiarmici il naso tra la decina e la ventina di volte in totale, è passato ad essere un groviglio di fottuti brandelli, e per qualche motivo la cosa mi fa molto ridere. Ma ora… lo butterò o aspetterò che si distrugga completamente…?
It only works with the first command in the recorded history, not with any sub shells or chained commands.
\#!/usr/bin/env bash
# 1. history and $HISTFILE do not work in scripts. Therefore cat with a direct
# path is needed.
# 2. awk gets the first part of the command name.
# 3. List is then sorted and duplicate entries are removed.
# 4. type -P will expand command names to paths, similar to which. But it will
# also expand aliases and functions.
# 5. Final output is then sorted again.
type -P $(cat ~/.bash_history | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq) | sort
After reading a blog post, I had this script in mind to see if its possible. This is just for fun and I don't have an actual use for it. Maybe some parts of it might inspire you to do something too. So have fun.
Edit 1:
After some suggestions from the comments, here is a little shorter version. sort | uniq can be replaced by sort -u, as the output of them should be identical in this case (in certain circumstances they can have different effect!). Also someone pointed out my useless cat, as the file can be used directly with awk. And for good reason. 😁 Enjoy, and thanks for all.
They are not exactly the same. I always default to piping it, because I never remember which to use when. And had to lookup again to make sure I was not hallucinating: unix.stackexchange.com/questio…
I'm actually not sure what you mean by that. This script will only list the programs you used in the terminal. It prints the fullpath of each command. That's all it does.
Do you want know if a program is currently running?
PS I hate to be the UUOC person. I’m sure you’re already aware and it was a deliberate choice.
I wish it was. I honestly forgot. yeah, shame on me. 😁 Before this, at the position of cat there was actually a different command, which I replaced with this. And I didn't think of adding the file to awk instead. I'll update the line with this suggestion and a suggestion from someone else.

I decided since I don't understand how all of this works, I will just simply ask Jerry personally about all of this data and technical details, so that people will no longer be confused about all of this.
The storage and processing power of modern smartphones are touted to rival those of a typical laptop. Yet, my trash-picked testing system from over a decade ago with a bottom-of-the-barrel SATA SSD can still boot to the Linux desktop faster than all but one of my Android devices.
Understandably, this isn't a huge priority since very few people are cold booting their phones every morning. But is it just plain unoptimized? How hard would it be to optimize? Do security features and checks bog it down? Is it that there's many tiny files to load when booting? What gives?
You're right, if you compare it to to ChromeOS/ FydeOS boot time it's embarrassing. And it's quite strange indeed. I also wondered why hibernation has never been implemented as an option (I guess blackberry used to have it instead). Also startup applications are something the user should be able to have control upon (android let you control it at the beginning, maybe till android 4, than you couldn't decide anymore, Xiaomi continued to offer that option for a while, then they stopped too).
Let's say android is like that, take it or leave, they could make the main OS boot, let you enter, and then boot extra background apps with a delay.
Unfortunately android is made for companies and their annoying notifications/ads , not for the user
I don't know if anyone has any real information but I'd think Iran would be shooting air bases and such. Targets that hurt Israel's ability to hurt Iran. Israel's command probably cares less about a residential building (full of people or empty) than a hangar with F35s.
Iran has spent decades building an arsenal of cheap drones that aren't really designed to hit targets, they are designed to financially cripple Israel by expending expensive iron dome charges.
And the numbers are staggering. I forget exactly but those early retaliations for assassination last year that where laughed at expended something like 100s of millions of dollars.
From I've seen they certainly used that initially with mostly older, cheaper, and slower drones in the initial waves intentionally to bleed out the iron dome but have been changing their strategy as the "Iron Dome" is weakened and/or gaps are discovered.
With each wave they adjust their strategy. Interspersing more Hypersonics and layering the drones in different patterns/locations to more readily distract/avoid the iron dome.
From estimated ratios of 9 impacts out of/150 launched in the first few waves vs 9/50 in the more recent waves.
Though obviously Israel hides the damage/strikes through media blackouts on military sites so we can't know for sure how accurate these estimates are and we mainly only get reporting on impacts in Tel-Aviv or other militarized "civilian" zones.
Oh for sure, I'm just saying they don't even need to hit any targets and they'd still be winning long term. They are capable of much more, and Israel can't fight Iran without US.
Satanyahu is betting on forcing Trump to agree to war with Iran on his watch. Avoiding that is thankfully one of Trump's main priorities, hopefully they don't succeed in changing his calculus on it.
And they aren't able to and won't be able to maintain media blackout much longer, Iran has stated that they will keep going and will go harder, and we've already seen some seriously damaged neighborhoods. As long as Iran keeps it reasonable (and what is reasonable has changed tremendously in the last two years of genocide and western media going hard to defend and justify Israeli war crimes), I think Trump can tolerate way more destruction of Tel Aviv than netanyahu thought he would.
Iran are definitely targeting air bases and other militarized targets which are regions Israel has a media blackout on so we don't hear about them as much and only hear about impacts in Tel-Aviv which is a militarized "civilian" zone (human shields was always projection of their own policies).
I think the difference in speed in the video is just perspective + distance, plust Iran has many different types of balistic missiles. I mean, technically speaking many balistic missiles do go at hypersonic speeds, but that's not what people mean when they say hypersonic missile, they refer to missiles that fly very low at hypersonic speed and can maneuver before hitting their target. You can clearly see the balistic trajectory of these missiles.
I'm no expert, but usually when missiles "go ballistic" their engines turn off and they have limited maneuvering capability at the end of their flight.
This one looks like it had engines on all the way to the target, which is a fairly newer class of design.
I mean I'm no expert either but you can see this characteristic burning on most ICBM videos, it's just the reentry vehicle reaching insane temperatures.

According to the people who posted it, it is from today. It is certainly not the same barrage as we saw Friday, but it could be another barrage which was on Friday. Nothing is entirely certain right now, but I think it is from today.
Perhaps you have missed the part where Israeli citizens have been openly saying that we need to wipe Iran, Palestine and multiple other countries off from the world map. They want genocide; they will get some retaliation from who they are attacking. FAFO
Perhaps you have missed the part where Israeli citizens have been openly saying that we need to wipe Iran, Palestine and multiple other countries off from the world map.
Not like Iranian and Palestinian people haven't said anything similar. This issue is not black and white. There's a hundred of different shades of piss and shit. Everyone is right from their standpoint and everyone is wrong from other's standpoint.
If they don't want to live with the consequence of being in one of the most contested places on earth, they can always leave.
It's way easier for Israelis to relocate because of how much money they have. They just choose not to and deserve all of the consequences that go along with that.
Israel isn't justified for anything. War is never justified, the political leaders are on their couches watching tvs playing with the lives of their people
Zionist "civillians" dont need to die because of the actions of their government, they need to die because they overwhelmingly support the actions of said government
Imagine 20+ months of this without bomb shelters with minimum to no food and with constant shelling and moving. Israel has made bombings and terrorism become normal for people in yemen, lebanon, syria and Iraq. Israel has made the lives of millions unsafe in the middleeast.
Germany, UK you created Israel government and the US enabled its colonization and genocide since day 1. Europe should take them back or stop them.
In 2025, the humans of the world nations still compete in every scientific advancement known to mankind, and mine every precious and rare material source, and employ every advancement and investment in programming, AI, engineering and design on the planet for intimidation and colonization launching metals into each other bodies, polluting and destroying the planet climate and resources, spreading pain and murder to each other for selfish gain. Now those maniacs are threatening with nuclear missiles. People who do everything in their power and utilize everything in the possession to bring humanity and the world down.
All because they want few Zionists to rule in aparthied and colonization and not give democracy to whom they see as inferior races of other humans instead of working and lifting each other. The world nations should stop this instead of heading toward WWIII as if humans cant learn history.
The world nations should stop this instead of heading toward WWIII as if humans cant learn history.
That's the most telling thing furute generations will look back upon this politicians that enabled such violence just to make some extra buck or a favor? Q
It’s wild hearing Americans who went on a 20 year genocidal way because they were attacked at home, cheering on others being attacked at home. Your government fucked by country and people, do I get to blow up your family and be cheered?
Edit: never has my indigenous, brown ass received so many DMs with hate, bigotry, and rants about genocide and colonialism from white kids than this year. Without a hint of irony, American hypocrites are trying to lead a movement against war, genocide, racism and colonialism. While you profit from and continue your own atrocities Americans need to get in the back of the line, they are toxic to the movement
Americans are blood thirsty war hawks. You guys LOVE the idea of bombing someone you don’t like. Even the American left is like this now. So long as it’s not your country being bombed and getting their just desserts for al their genocide, you love war. But anyone attacks you guys for your centuries of atrocities and suddenly it’s WAR WAR WAR
You seem to not be aware that Israel is another settler-colonial project, based on indigenous eviction and genocide, just like the US, Canada, Australia, etc.

I didn't go on shit and I don't support US imperialist actions.
1) We were attacked at home because of previous imperialist actions, and we would have continued said imperialism whether attacked or not, that was a convenient excuse.
2) I would understand people cheering and I would direct my anger to the people who caused the retaliation to happen, my own government.
why are you defending America destroying your country and Israel doing the same/trying to do the same to other countries though? This make no sense.
I agree with all of it i just think you Americans need to get out of the way and stop trying to lead the charge, because you guys are toxic and taint the movement with your hypocrisy and extremist attitudes.
You al benefit from your country’s imperialism but you all dodge responsibility and say it wasnt you
I'm willing to be one counterexample in the sea. I am absolutely benefiting from both past American imperialism and the current sales of arms that keeps allowing more atrocities. I used to feel guilt about it, but that didn't solve anything; neither did staying silent. If all the other loud, noisy, opinionated people in my country can't keep their mouths shut, I view it as a minor responsibility to at least make them use critical thinking (if possible). I'm saving your comment to show people irl. Hope you stay safe.
You know, the reason we have sympathy for Palestinian civilians is because they're not responsible for the actions of Hamas on Oct 7, even if many of them were brainwashed to be happy about the massacre. Please apply the same logic to sympathizing with civilians who are not responsible for Likud's actions, a large proportion of whom have also been protesting against the party in the past year.
The current Israeli administration is ruthless and bloodthirsty and it's diminishing the should of it's people. That being said, I don't think any major power in the world, including China and Russia are sad to see Iran's nuclear program get set back.
We support Hamas, and we support its brave fight against the colonialism, we feel bad about them because we support the colonized against the colonizer, now gtfo
I am staunchly anti-colonization and support resistance against oppression. I also believe there are people who are innocent and who have no choice in where they're born or where their parents move them to, who generally go about life fairly normally with all the complexity (and tacit complicity) human life and circumstance brings--civilians. I do not support what Hamas did on Oct 7 and I certainly don't support what the IDF has done in Gaza over the last year or the ongoing settlement in the West Bank. You and I live on the same planet and I will love your right to life always, but I will not gtfo just because I disagree with unfettered self-righteous bloodlust.
For an instance nominally based on worker solidarity and elevating the proletariat, everyone sure is pretty quick to throw that out the window for tribalism and nationalism
Here's a fun fact, did you know that 65 other countries also have mandatory military service, including Iran? Being a class traitor by the law of the state doesn't make you not proletariat.
Abandoning massive chunks of workers based only on their place of birth or the bubble of propoganda they live in is the opposite of every reputable leftist ideology. If your empathy for the people crushed under the rubble of an apartment complex depends on the flag out front then just admit you're a frothing nationalist and stop pretending.
Yeah, mandatory military service, not mandatory baby killer service, No such thing as a settler comrade or a settler proletariat, a motherfucker who goes into Palestinian homes kills or kicks out the occupants and takes it as his deserves to get crushed by an airstrike.
Total population of Israel: 9.2 million Total IDF personnel (including reservists): 500k Total settler population: 700k Total Isreal police force: <30k
But sure, let's glass them all. Especially the 86% that have no active involvement with what's going on. You sound like a goddamn fool.
Edit: let me cut off the horseshit collective punishment argument before you make it: you're still cheering for your own class to be slaughtered
I'd be fine if the apartheid government willingly dissolved and created a new system where the genocide of Palestinian people wasn't the goal. A government that didn't attack it's neighbors on a whim.
This could be bloodless, but unfortunately the state will not allow that
Nobody expects the state to relinquish power without violence, but that doesn't mean it's OK to cheer clips of massive explosions within lethal range of civilian houses.
I have yet to see anyone share hard evidence that these are targeted at military areas, let alone actually hitting them. Just a bunch of equivocation about military reserves and public opinion polls. Isreal rightfully caught shit for their pager attack being too indiscriminate but an explosion clearing half a city block isn't?
I think you're forgetting differences in military capabilities.
Israel can be more selective in it's targets in Gaza, but they deliberately chose hospitals. Iran, the nation defending itself, has to send large missile barrages to try and break through the iron dome defense. Those will be less precise
I don't see how that makes a difference? Israel bombing civilians with precision doesn't make imprecise bombing of civilians more acceptable. Everyone ends up just as dead. It just makes it more palatable for people who value retribution above civilian lives.
To put it another way: if you want to hit a military target but can't do so without outsized collateral damage, you don't have ethical grounds to make the attack. You don't see people defending the USA's use of Agent Orange in Vietnam just because it was the only feasible way to clear foliage.
When did I say that? All I want is for all belligerents to be held to the same standard. Show me the evidence that these missiles are falling on targets with strategic importance; show me that they're making efforts to not waste human lives. It's clear that Israel's attacks are not and they're rightly called out for it. Why is Iran above the same scrutiny?
US was the invader during the Vietnam War so that's a bad example all around
Why is it a bad example? Does being the defender in a war make you immune to war crimes? It's indiscriminate killing of non combatants either way.
Here’s a fun fact, most Israelis—bourgeois and proletariat—approve of what the state of Israel is doing in Gaza.
These are fascists. If there’s anything to be learned from WWII, it’s that no one is more antifascist than communists.
If your empathy for the people crushed under the rubble of an apartment complex depends on the flag out front then just admit you’re a frothing nationalist and stop pretending.
Palestinians don’t have a nation. They’ve been under occupation by European settler-colonists for about 80 years.
As for Iran, it is an anti-imperialist state retaliating against an unprovoked attack by an imperialist state, which it has the right to do by UN law. Marxist-Leninists give Iran our critical support1 in the struggle against imperialist states, not to mention the struggle against genocide.
Critical support is supporting something while also being critical of its flaws. ↩︎
By invoking self-defense, Israel changes the conversation from its colonial crimes against the Palestinians to the injuries it has itself incurred as a result.
Holy fuck you don't even know what a nation is lmfao
If there’s anything to be learned from WWII, it’s that no one is more antifascist than communists.
If you knew anything about WW2, you'd know that strategic bombing of population centers was a futile effort that wasted lives. Allies and Axis both admitted it, and the Allies even stuck to day bombing to limit collateral damage.
I've been asking up and down this thread for any context on what these bombs hit, any evidence at all, and all I get is equivocation like yours.
Your "critical support" isn't very critical at all, it's pretty one dimensional. Isreal bombs a population center: bad. Iran bombs an Isreal population center: good. I've seen no depth beyond that.
Holy fuck you don’t even know what a nation is lmfao
I do, actually, but since you were the one talking about nations’ flags, I assumed that you didn’t know the difference between a nation and a state. Israeli Zionists clearly do know the difference, and they want an ethnically-cleaned, “Greater Israel” nation-state. Because they’re settler-colonialists; they’re fascists.
Allies even stuck to day bombing to limit collateral damage.
No, they did it in order to hit their targets, which were often cities. The US also dropped two atomic bombs on city centers with no warning at all.
Isreal bombs a population center: bad. Iran bombs an Isreal population center: good.
Obviously neither one is “good.” You’re putting words in my mouth.
Far from being a mere slogan, the phrase captures both the longtime ambitions of the Israeli right and the reality Israel has imposed on Palestine since 1967.
since you were the one talking about nations’ flags
A nation is not a nation state, and a population doesn't have to be a sovereign state to have a flag.
No, they did it in order to hit their targets, which were often cities.
Exactly, to limit collateral damage. Germany (and the RAF's night bombing, to be fair) also targeted cities with strategic war industries, they just cared more about their pilots' safety than civilian lives.
You’re putting words in my mouth.
I'm not at all, I'm pointing out the lack of criticism for clips like the one above. There's not even reserved judgment until we know what got hit and who died, just full throated support based only on the name of the city being bombed. I'm the only one here wanting evidence that these attacks are targeting anything of value and limiting non combatant deaths.
Remember when Israel was criticized for half-hearted pamphlet dropping to warn of barrages? All the scorn at Israel's reports of the use of human shields? The outrage over bombing population centers and refugee camps allegedly hiding rockets? Zionists saying Palestinians deserved bombing because they elected Hamas and had parties celebrating Oct 7 and X% of Palestines supported Y?
I'm seeing the exact same comments in reverse. Just read the comments on this post. But this time nobody bats an eye because the "right" people are dying.
Are you serious right now? Communism isn’t based on solidarity with settler-colonists who are genociding the people they locked into the Gaza prison-ghetto for a generation, for the crime of being indigenous. October 7th was a prison break, a Warsaw ghetto uprising.
These aren't people being tried for their crimes, not even people being picked out and put in front of a firing squad. This is an explosion in a city. You have no clue who might have been in that area any more than I do.
How many residents have fired a weapon against a Palestinian? 30% if you're being generous? That's about the same as the population of children.
You're OK with those odds? Or does your form of communism always cheer at indiscriminate death so long as some of the right people get caught in it? If X% of the population drinks the apartheid propoganda kool-aid it's open season? What's your number?
Idk, I think we should have sympathy for people being kill because of war at all times.
I don't know who lived in the place that was bombed there, but unless I have reason to believe that that person is somehow responsible for the genocide, why would I hate them?
Israel is obviously filled with genocidal people, and those who support genocide are not going to get my sympathy, but there are those who are actively fighting it even. So I do feel sympathy for innocent people dying because of genocidal governments and their need to bomb every living thing around them.
wasn't it about 82% of Israelis that supported the forced expulsion of Palestinians? I'm all for having sympathy for the innocent, just doesn't seem like there are that many innocents there.
Comment sections have been absolutely fucked since this started. I've seen some reports that these are hitting military targets but apparently I should be cheering about rockets landing a few dozen meters from this apartment?
I remember a video of an Israeli rocket hitting just outside a shop window in Yemen/Iran at a similar distance and people were balking that it could be hitting anything of strategic importance. Suddenly pictures of collapsed apartments and hospitals are fine because it's the guys you don't like?
Apparently it's a bad take for me to think civilians shouldn't be bombed regardless of how much Zionist brainwashing they have. People talking about "they deserve it" and pointing to Isreal opinion polls showing 60% support X awful thing. Last time I checked, a rocket doesn't take a survey before it explodes. So 4/10 people in that explosion deserve to die by association?
By all means, I'll take evidence that they've been hitting military targets. My issue is with people cheering videos like this lacking any of that evidence at all.
And no, having a bunker doesn't make a civilian population fair game. It's the same thing as crowding people into internment camps while you level their neighborhood.
Bunkers they refuse to let non Israelis use. I just watched a video of some Israelis roaches screaming slurs at Asians as they receded into their bunker. Refusing to share.
Where is that evidence? I'm not denying it, I'm asking for it and nobody provides it.
Edit: from what I can tell that F35 rumor started in 2024 as a meme mocking Israel's claims of apartments hiding Hezbollah weapons. Why would you stack up $100m planes in a place extremely hard to scramble them and perform maintenance?
Welcome to war, where human rights are optional and at the discretion of a select few. People will cheer for death like it's a gladitorial arena, while others act to mitigate as much suffering as possible. Still others will turn away in disgust and become recluse. No answer is correct; at least until the victor writes the history.
My only (personal) recouse is to focus on my impact at a community level, and hope that I get enough power, money, or influence to eventually do more.
What do you even do in a situation like this? You can't get to shelter in any reasonable amount of time and whether you're in the unit or on the balcony you're dead if your building is struck.
As far as I know, a large majority of Israelis support the whole liebensraum thing, and fucking up Iran (whose government are also a bunch of murderous shitbags, btw). We don't really know how many "Joe six-pack" iranians support this confrontation. Often, even people who are against a government will support warring against a perceived enemy, which is why so many leaders, when in trouble at home, start wars. See Putin, Bush, Netanyahu, maybe Trump next, and a looong list.
The issue with Monero is that it cannot scale to world adoption levels.
It is fine as a niche coin for certain use cases and I like it as well but I have migrated to BCH as it is the future.
The stress test a year ago showed Monero tops out ~700k TX per day and node problems started around 300-500k. This is likely a fundamental flaw and will not be able to go much beyond this TX volume unless there is a complete redesign/rewrite.
BCH has good privacy with CashFusion and in a couple of years it will have 100% private tokens, we will have Monero as a token on BCH. This is much better because we get full access to all exchanges that BCH is on plus world scale and supreme privacy.
For example, iOS has these features: - iCloud backup restore or peer-to-peer transfer, very early in the device setup process - Two ways for things to be stored in iCloud, each with a corresponding list of per-app (not per-folder) toggle switches in iCloud Settings - "Saved to iCloud" normal syncing - Requires apps to use the right APIs and to handle conflicting changes - Allows same data to be read and modified by multiple devices - iCloud backup - Available for all apps - Separate backup per device - Only downloaded when setting up a new device - In app sandboxes, only excludes tmp (Flatpak equivalent is somewhere in /run) and Library/Caches (equivalent to cache directory in Flatpak sandbox) by default - Allows apps to set isExcludedFromBackup attribute for specific files (useful for things that are easy to recreate via download but are expected by the user to not be automatically deleted) - Includes system configuration such as home screen layout - Backs up a list of installed apps without backing up their executables and assets - Synced list of previously installed apps, not separate per-device
I've had this idea a few times over the years, but I always get stuck at figuring out: what is it actually I want to happen? If I remove a local file, should it be removed from the backup too? If I edit a file, should the newer version replace the old in the backup, or be saved separately, or just the delta between the files? I could never decide what I wanted.
Not that I have it all figured out, but it sounds like it would help to decouple backup from sync. I have syncthing keep a two-way sync, including deletes, but have syncthing's trash as a "backup" (items deleted after n-days) on each device in case I accidentally delete something. Then I have a nightly, encrypted backups with versions stored offsite (eg borg) which is only meant to be used if there's major failure like a flood or fire. HDD failure is covered by RAID10 NAS. Somewhere in there I have or need a data integrity/hash check, but at least it's a start.
you want a solution for your computer? or for your phone?
if it's for your phone and it is still iOS then no, the Apple Ecosystem is closed, there are some reverse engineered offers but they tend to be patched out or not be reliable.
Support for both iOS and GNU + Linux is a noteworthy convenient feature of a syncing system, but I'm more focused on what's currently available on GNU + Linux, which probably needs to be built upon to replicate Apple's level of quality.
Essentially, I use tar for backup, NFS / Samba for local file sharing, and git for syncing. (For specific cases, software like Zim wiki that stores to a git backend).
And it is not that I have not tried alternative solutions - for example, I tried the Coda file system. But blending version-controlled syncing and file distribution leads to devilishly complex corner cases and failure modes.
I feel like this, combined with an immutable distro and copy-on-write fs like zfs could make a really robust setup. Maybe not beginner friendly yet but all the pieces are there.
Yeah I have a raspberry pi ‘syncthing hub’ that keeps all my devices uniform down to dot files and configs. It’s so essential. It’s so nice as well to be able to switch from my desktop to a laptop and continue coding seamlessly. Everything is ready as soon as I log to my computer. Don’t have to use any kind of service like google cloud, etc.
Every system has its own processes. If you want Apple software and services use Apple. If you want Linux use Linux. Do not expect either to be like the other.
it stores files in version-controlled copies which can be synced. Perhaps good for backing up photos and such, up to a few GB.
Two more interesting solutions:
Nix OS and Guix SD let you define a system entirely from single configuration file, so it is easy to re-create when needed.
The Btrfs and ZFS file systems allow to take snapshots in an instant which can very efficiently store earlier versions of files. I used that when working with yocto/bitbake, which compiles an entire embedded system from source - it can handle much larger data volumes than git or bup, and is the right thing when handling versions of binary data.
And one more, the rsync tool allows to store hard-linked copies of directory trees.
The key question is however - what do you want?
being able to recover earlier versions is essential when working with source code
being able to merge such versions in text files is necessary when working on code cooperatively with others - and only source control systems can do this well
In 99.9% of the other cases, you just want to be able to re-create a single ground-truth version of all your data after a disaster, and keep that backup copy as current as possible.
These are not the same requirements, especially the volume of data will differ.
And also, while you might to want or need to go patch by patch through conflicting source code tree with 10,000 different lines, I guess that absolutely nobody is willing or has time to go through a tree with 10,000 conflicting photographs and match them.
So the question back is: What is your specific use case and what exactly do you want to achieve?
Maybe nextcloud? IDK I just use Borg. But Nextcloud allows that type of syncing that you describe, I think. I run a small nextcloud server for other purposes and don't use that feature.
Every system has its own processes. If you want Apple software and services use Apple. If you want Linux use Linux. Do not expect either to be like the other especilly at such a micro level.
As far as Linux and beginner friendly, buy a device with Linux preinstalled just like you do with Apple. As far as user setting and apps. Get a notebook and write them down, and avoid deep customizations. As far as backup get 3 USB drives and backup your home directory with rsync or one of the other solutions. As far as restore, have install media and just reinstall from scratch then layer in your configs and apps and then restore your home directory files. For file sync and app sync functions, Nextcloud is helpful and you can pay for a commercial host, set it up yourself, or use a product like Synology. You frankly could use Dropbox, Proton Drive, or one of the others also. But think carefully what is actually needed. Cloud stuff is heavily promoted by the big providers presumably for lockin reasons and to mine your data but it is not really needed for most things. Get to know your distros builtin emergency startup tools and have a live distro like the live install media available and know how to use them.
Linux is about options but for simple beginner like processes it is best to stick to the basics.
As others suggested the backend is probably already installed on most computers but not setup, namely :
ssh to manage passworldless across multiple computers (you need that for data to be safe)
scp/rsync/rdiff-backup to actually copy the data thanks to ssh keys
One could imagine a dedicated user per machine that is for read-only of data (maybe after some encryption, limited to very specific directoriess) and another for storing only of data (with no access except to write on disk and with a maximum quota).
What this highlight though is that the centralized managed cloud model is challenging to replicate as purely p2p at home, namely backing up your phone to your desktop might be find but the other way around, probably not. Maybe even more challenging, what do you actually backup? I would argue your home directory but... clearly not your e.g. Steam games (humongous) or other backups or video files downloaded from the Web. So... probably a select set of directories in home then, but which ones? ~/Documents only? This specific part implies some decision from the end user.
Anyway I believe all the tools are there, but I think what most people lack is to view the result and for that maybe some equivalent of gitlab.com/ikus-soft/rdiffweb/ which shows when was the last backup done, how big it was, etc basically some form of visual to feel safe.
Finally to skip the CLI key management part the closest I know, for end users, is KDE Connect kdeconnect.kde.org/ which I discovered after building my own git.benetou.fr/utopiah/offline… kind of equivalent, namely a way to use devices on LAN. Backup is not a default feature though but could be.

I'm with you on the "fuck (the) Israel(i government)", but is Iran's government really "good guys" here? Both sides of that conflict can simultaneously be assholes, and it's not like Iran isn't known for authoritarianism and human rights abuses. Meanwhile Iran has as much right to develop nukes as any country: precisely zero.
Anything to stop the ongoing Israeli genocide. A tonne of that crap about Iran is just overblown fear mongering from the west anyways. They've got their issues sure but not much worse than the US
They hanged a man on the anniversary of Kian's death. Kian was a 10 year old who got shot by security forces. So the IRI pinned the murder on someone else and hanged him. Two years earlier Basijis first kidnapped a 16 year from the protests, then raped and beat her to death. They returned her body two weeks later, claiming she jumped off a building. Those were two of the at least 551 deaths during those protests. The US reported 19 deaths during the George Floyd protests. 19 too much. Not on the same scale as Iran. Domestically, those two are not (nah, were not, don't know what the Dons gonna do) comparable.
I have in-laws in Iran. That "crap" wasn't overblown, people got beaten and raped for protesting.
So yeah, Im not gonna cry about Iranian hits on Israeli industry or military bases, but I'm not gonna celebrate Iran either.
The same US that has continuously gave unconditional support & weapons for murdering over 50,000 in Gaza since October 7, 2023, including over 20,000 children? The same US that killed over 100,000 civilians in Iraq? Obama had Chelsea Manning imprisoned & subject to years of inhumane punishment for showing the American people what was actually going on. Really does take a lot of pretending to walk in your shoes.
They didn't kill 100k civilians, they killed millions. Just because they didn't personally shoot each and every one doesn't mean they didn't willfully create the conditions to starve them or deny them access to essential services.
True, lest not forget who has behind pretty much every recent conflict & escalation in the Middle East. Israeli influence in American politics is out of control:
Allies don't draw you into provocative & endless wars so you can fight on their behalf. They don't use agents to black mail & control your politicians, & to influence your corporations & media. Nor do they buy them off or influence them to act against the interests of their people.
There is only one terrorist nation in the Middle East right now the US needs to worry about, and the least they could do is stop funding their genocides with tax payer money.
Iran's clerical rulers have stepped up suppression of persistent anti-government protests in the country's Kurdish region, deploying troops and killing at least four demonstrators on Sunday, activists and rights groups said.
Iran certainly has its problems, but they don’t hold a candle to Israel’s (or the US’s) human rights abuses.
The only difference in their favor I can currently see is that they’re not actively bombing another country to the ground. Internally, the human rights situation is „just as fucked“ at least even if you only take into account what their government itself says.
The only reason Israel, America's attack dog in the Middle East, has started a war of aggression on Iran is because Iran dares to oppose US foreign policy in the region. Had Iran got nuclear weapons they would be able to continue doing so with impunity.
That's it. All of that human rights, authoritarianism bullshit is propaganda for you, the westerner, to get your support for this imperialist war. The Mullahs hang gays from cranes so Israel should vaporize everyone in Iran, including the gays? Women who don't want to wear headscarves are being tortured so we will bomb all their apartment buildings to rubble? An adult person with average intelligence should be able to see themselves through the logic that a war with Iran is not going to improve an Iranian's circumstances in any way. Do not support this war.
I think another major reason for Israel to stoke this conflict is that it benefits Netanyahu politically. Without an active war he would be out of office and likely being prosecuted for his many crimes. So long as he can keep Israel embroiled in conflict, he can stay in power.
Also let's remember what is exactly reason why Iran look like it look in the first place: it's because USA couped democratically elected center-left government, propped up the shah, helped him exterminate any and all leftists there so the only possible opposition force that remained was the religious extremists (who btw were also kept on hold by west as alternative).
The Shah was couped with the help of leftist who got backstabbed by the islamists. They weren't the only possible opposition, they were just the most politically savvy opposition.
I'll try to say this delicately enough to not get banned...
The modlog (which also contains the full text of my post) cites as the reason for the removal of my post "rule 1" which according to the sidebar is "Be civil and nice."
I think they consider any criticism of the government of Iran to be "incivility" and/or "meanness".
(Hopefully I'm not misinterpreting the mods here. Mods, please feel free to step in and correct any such misrepresentation.)
I would said it's because bothsiding this conflict where the nazi entity is clearly attacker, also for idealist prattling about "rights" to have nukes while the only country which already used them against civillians have thousands.
I comment the commands that I want and then use vim to remove ones without comments.
For example, I run:
longandannoyingcommand -f1 -f2 -f3 # keep, does something useful
Usually comment explains what the command does so I can find it by description using fzf history search. And then you can easily find all lines that contain (or do not contain "# keep") in your history to remove or keep.
I might try this. Normally would just pipe history into grep to search or scroll till I found the right command. Also smite is a great name for that function.
Right, I was starting to think "Oh yeah and maybe I could fzf history..." then wait, I already do that reverse-i-search then edit. If I use that often enough, alias in ~/.bashrc or even function to make it composable.
Atuin (by @ellie@hachyderm.io) makes the history storage and management side much easier and portable, but could perhaps use a "smite mode" to make deletion interactively easier. The current interactive implementation prioritizes safety over expediency which is fine, but a "today I clean things" option could perhaps instead prioritize the other way around and enable one key delete w/ undo instead.

In the hours after Israel attacked Iran, food shipments and distribution in Gaza stopped and a French-Saudi summit meant to pave the way for wider recognition of a Palestinian state was postponed indefinitely.
International pressure over starvation and civilian killings in Gaza had apparently dissipated in little more than the time it took for the smoke of the first missile strikes to clear over Tehran.
Israel’s military moved fast to declare Iran its top priority, with the battle for Gaza relegated to second place. That shift was echoed in foreign ministries and newsrooms around the world.

These villains are driving us crazy! These villains spent a year and a half killing half a million people, and now they’re attacking! We want an atomic bomb!
Rania Khalek/BreakThrough News 📺
Why is Iran under constant US attack? Is it really about women’s rights and democracy? Or is it because Iran, since its revolution, has been a staunch supporter both ideologically and materially, of resistance to US imperialism across the Middle East? To discuss this and more, Rania Khalek was joined by Nina Farnia, Assistant Professor of Law at Albany Law School, a longtime activist and a scholar of Critical Race Theory, with a focus on US imperialism and its impact on domestic law.

Anybody who wants peace and justice wants iranians to be able to defend themselves from centuries of endless imperial attacks. There will never be peace or progress if only the genocidal fascists are armed. They already have nukes and their explicit goal is invading and stealing every neighboring country.
The Persian empire was pretty big, until Alexander the Great (Greece) kicked their asses. This area has had empires rise and fall for millennia. Iran was the dominant power (and sometime colonizer) western Asia for 12 centuries.
I highly doubt anything will ever bring it peace, it's the middle east, nuclear proliferation is a terrible idea. And that goes for anyone, any country.
Iran is a BRICS member and both china and russia are invested in Iran. I dont think that this will be so easy. It will be interesting to see if US gets involved, since it almost never wants to directly fight against a decent enemy all since Vietnam.
russia has enough problems and wasnt even able to keep syrias dictator in charge. i am sure they cant and wont help. see ppl that love patriarchy tend to over inflate things. and regimes are the peak of patriarchy. thats why ukraine will beat russia and israel will beat iran.
Yeah they only managed to keep him in charge for over a decade. And china? Also why are you confusing military power with some unspecified peoples claims? You are not inflating 'things' when you assume that ukraine will beat russia?
Again for some reason china which is invested in iran is not relevant. As for russia it has considerable territory in ukraine. Maybe that will change, but note that unlike before, bilateral talks are happenning.
i am sure stupid countries win stupid prizes. i mean china is shit stupid for thousands of years now. nobody but stupid countries wants to be friends with them, birthrate decline, no growth in housing sector, the list never ends. but they have always been that stupid; like that time their regime failed to grow crops and blamed birds forcing their goon citizens to cull all the birds. m.youtube.com/watch?v=kwURhByI… and you cant even talk about it with them...they are goons. same for tibet, tiananmen square, uigurs, hongkong... like if you can make a stupid choice china will do it. same for russia..cant talk about basic history of the country and yet they think they are a strong country. 180million ppl cant beat 50million ppl for over 1000 days now... what a sad sad shitshow. why would anyone think russia will win? delusional facists.

So you just disregarded the points I made? Ok. Well just to quickly compare. History of a country, even as uninformed as the one you presented, has no bearing on the argument here. China is now consistenly outpacing essentially rest of the world for idk 30 years? It overtook US as largest economy, and is growing far faster. Theyve lifted hundreds of millions out of extreme poverty, without precedent. But again this is irrelevant to their position on iran.
As for russia, ukraine is receiving aid yes? And if we are to compare population sizes for some unexplained reason ok for the sake of it lets do that. Us did not manage to beat afghans taliban, these used to be literally armed goat herders, unlike trained ukrainian soldiers, western mercenaries and massive aid of the west.
Now to actually get to the topic there are bilateral talks and russia holds significant territory, those are just observations. No need to try to predict based on some emotional dogma. But if things are to continue as they are now, significant territory remains ceded.
Bad news bro, I saw some advertising copy for a private intelligence contractor specializing in social media, and Mastodon was in it. Trust me. They are here
MAD is only a detergent if everyone has Nuclear bombs.
If the US and west get to keep their bombs, despite being the US being the only country to have ever used one, then everyone should be able to have nuclear bombs.
The thing is, the US and west don't actually want to prevent nuclear weapons from being used, they specifically want to prevent them being used against them and their allies, while maintaining the threat of using them against their enemies.
Last year, I wrote a blog post, Fediverse for Freedom – which was about the importance of a free and open Fediverse, and how and why public institutions can support it. Since then, I’ve referred to this blog post in many of my talks and in conversations, and started to use the hashtag #FediverseForFreedom.
Ahead of FOSDEM back in February, I created some stickers to share – a Fediverse logo, overlaid with the text “I Am Part Of The Rebel Alliance #FediverseForFreedom”. They were quite a hit at the time, and since then I’ve used the same image in presentations. When people have seen them, I’ve quite often been asked where they came from.
Last week, Elena Rossini – writer of the fantastic The Future is Federated blog/newsletter, talented filmmaker and photographer, and (perhaps) the Fediverse’s Number One Fan – released a great, four minute video that both explains and promotes the Fediverse and open platforms not owned by billionaires1
One of the stickers shows up in several shots of the the video, and once again, I heard that people would like to be able to get some for themselves.
A simple site
I’ve been wanting to make the stickers available for a while, but the release of the video finally pushed me into getting this done!
I’d recently bought some stickers myself, from the talented Robb Knight, and he mentioned that he used Stripe Payment Links for his site. I already had a Stripe account, so thought I’d try the same thing.
So: now you can visit fediverseforfreedom.org (.com points to .org), and click on a link to to get a handful of stickers shipped in your direction! You can also easily just tell your friends, “oh yeah, I got them from Fediverse For Freedom dot org”. Nice and straightforward. A small pile of I Am Part Of The Rebel Alliance stickers There’s a bit more information about it all on that simple site, but I thought it might be interesting to write down a bit more about how I made it.
The site is running on Codeberg Pages. Previously I’ve put these kinds of one-off, single page sites up on GitHub Pages, or on Glitch. I’m feeling increasingly less comfortable about having all of my stuff on GitHub and hosted in the US; and, unfortunately, Glitch is going away soon (more on this in a future post). So in this case I chose Codeberg Pages, although I’m aware that they are themselves a platform that is currently in maintenance mode. I’m open to suggestions for similar sites, as I’ll need to migrate some Glitch apps somewhere very soon!
Apart from that: the whole operation is very low tech. Stripe Payment Links are convenient – Stripe itself can handle a huge variety of payment types – but, on the backend… it does not do much. No order acknowledgement emails, order management tools, or anything like that. All I get is a basic dashboard with information about the orders. I whipped up some simple Python that uses the Stripe API to grab the postal addresses of orders, and then creates SVG address labels for printing. The same code also grabs the email addresses so that I can send an email thanking the customer for the order.
In terms of shipping, that’s also a manual process – no “drop-shipping” here, I’m getting the stickers from my regular supplier (StickerApp), putting them in envelopes, and posting them out myself. That also means that delivery times will vary – although I had enough in stock to cover all of the initial orders, I’ve also been in Amsterdam for the past 3 days, so the first batch will go out on Monday.
One more thing I’m experimenting with here is GoatCounter, just to get a sense of traffic and interest. I didn’t want to put a load of invasive Google Analytics onto such a basic page, and I’ve had GoatCounter recommended to me a few times now – like Mastodon, it has also benefited from NLNet funding from the European Union in the past, and I wanted to see what was possible. It seems to do just what I wanted, whilst also being unintrusive.
What’s next?
Look… I don’t intend to become some kind of merch magnate, but I do know that some people share my own desire to display our commitment to the Fediverse and related causes, and if I can help folks to do so, then I will (did you know we already made a t-shirt? Elena has asked me for more in the same vein!).
If you want to look for other ways to show your support in public, and to give back to people or projects that work on tools that you use, take a look at the Awesome Fediverse Merch list that Jeff Sikes is curating. Plenty of options for everyone.
Finally – remember to support the creators of your favourite sites, services, and open source software directly, whenever you can!
Remember, as I heard in a keynote at the PublicSpaces conference this week: “the Internet is currently controlled by four or five fucked up right wing white men” – it’s time to rewild the internet, and take ownership of our data and choices. ↩︎

in reply to acargitz • • •I mean, to my knowledge, it's still Rasterman keeping most of the development together. You don't need a ton of adoption when one guy tirelessly works on it.
Although I'm guessing Samsung probably sponsors him, so that's probably quite crucial for him to be able to put that much time into it.

in reply to Mwa • • •I suspect it just isn't well known. I used it for a while in my early days in Linux, which was back in the late 1990's, and i honestly haven't heard much abiut it over the years.
I do remember being impressed at the time. I think most people stick with the defaults for whatever distro they first choose. Since i was using Slackware back then, there was not a default choice, so i searched and experimented.

in reply to Mwa • • •Enlightenment is SO configurable that it almost doesn't have a look, and therefore doesn't really have "brand' per se. Take a look at galleries and collections of enlightenment setups: they're all massively different in look and behaviour.
I remember in my early days of Linux (late 90s) it was too much for me.

in reply to Mwa • • •When it was first developed it was too heavyweight and too customisable. The effort needed to theme it was huge and a lot of the popular themes were poor from a UX point of view.
Still E16 was usable, and then the development of E17 started about 24 years ago. People are still on E16 you say?

in reply to Mwa • • •I was using E16 years ago and liked it but eventually switched to Gnome (2, I think), after waiting for E17 for too long.
What made me quit was the wait. All the other DEs at the time were releasing new versions frequently but Enlightenment took forever.

in reply to Mwa • • •I tried it a few years ago. I was really impressed by how lightweight and gorgeous it is. In particular, I found it really cool and actually useful that you got a live view of your other workspaces on your panel. You could even fullscreen a video on your other workspace and then watch (a very small version of) it in your panel.
But yeah, even though I came back to it multiple times, I never ended up sticking around. It would crash regularly (not the worst thing, since recovery was generally seamless, but still meh), but in particular, it had some peculiar design decisions.
For example, if you double-click a window titlebar in virtually any window manager, it will maximize. In Enlightenment, I believe it got shaded (i.e. the contents of the window got hidden and only the titlebar was still visible).
Another prominent one was that its applet for connecting to WiFi and such didn't support NetworkManager, but rather only ConnMan. If you've never heard of ConnMan, yeah, I only know it from Enlightenment, too. Similarly, my distro (openSUSE) didn't package it either (and openSUSE was said to offer a relatively good Enlightenment experience). That's something which should just work, because you can't expect people to look up how they can connect to WiFi while they can't reach the internet.
And yeah, these are just the big ones that stuck in my head. There were lots of smaller usability issues, too. Many things you could fix by changing the configuration, but we're talking many in an absolute sense, too, i.e. you might spend an hour or more just tweaking things so that they behaved like you might expect.
Patch
in reply to Ephera • • •Maybe a controversial opinion here, but the one thing that everyone says about it is that it looks gorgeous, and I really don't see it. Never have.
Even back when I first tried it out, maybe 15 years ago, I thought it looked strangely retro. Nowadays, compared to the eye candy that is completely standard in GNOME, KDE, MacOS, Windows etc., it looks incredibly dated.
It's all hard edges, low res icons, ugly fonts, and eccentric design choices. Yeah, it can make window elements transparent, but you can't dine out on that one trick for ever.
Ephera
in reply to Patch • • •I certainly think that it has many eccentric design choices. It's not going to be for everyone. Some parts of it, I also think just look bad, which I had to customize. Well, and openSUSE's theming made a big difference, too: simotek.net/tech/projects/open…
"Retro" is also definitely a word I would use, though more positively connoted. It has *different* eye candy to the usual desktop designs, which is a big part of the charm. In a sea of flat designs and tiling window managers, it stands out as its own thing.

in reply to Ephera • • •Ephera
in reply to dil • • •Well, that was just kind of one example to illustrate that it isn't just a static screenshot, you actually see what's going on in real-time. It's also useful when you're running a longer operation, like OS updates or encoding a video, and want to see when it's done or that it hasn't failed. You can just tell when the command output has stopped moving or a popup has appeared...
But thanks for the recommendation anyways!

in reply to Ephera • • •I vastly prefer connman/iwd, always had weird issues with NM. Currently running connman-gtk on XFCE.
And tweaking to your needs, isn't that expected for a new desktop setup? One hour isn't even that much.
I'm amazed again and again how stuck even technical people can be in their habits.
Ephera
in reply to MonkderVierte • • •Well, it didn't feel like I'm tweaking to my needs (that came afterwards on top), it rather felt like I'm just undoing design decisions that someone made to cater to their specific needs.
And I named the time mainly to give an idea of how much there was to tweak. My main problems were:
- That I could not undo some of those unusual design decisions.
- That it doesn't exactly make the system more robust when you need lots of non-default settings.

in reply to Ephera • • •𝕽𝖚𝖆𝖎𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖌𝖍
in reply to Ephera • • •I used it for a while trying to wean myself off NetworkManager, which has a lot of optional dependencies that distributions tend to link in. So, you don't want Gnome on your system, but you want NM? Too bad, you got Gnome.
Anyway, connman is pretty fussy and not very intuitive. I think it's better for systems that are always on the same network; it's a pain to travel and connect to open networks with.

in reply to Mwa • • •My bet is that this happened because they do develop both the Enlightenment desktop and the E libraries, which is a tremendous amount of work. Add to that that if they are a small team, they're not going to go relatively fast (afaik E17 took years...). Maybe it was the reason GNOME/GTK(+) and KDE (which began with an already developed GUI library) caught up.
But as I always say in this kind of posts, both Enlightenment and E are amazing and I so wish they were more rich featured and popular and, if I were the XFCE mouse and got fed up with the bullshit of the GNOME-ization/libadwaita-zion of GTK, I'd consider porting all my shit to E - it would be awesome if those two merged into one. GTK and E are both written in C, XFCE has a robust set of apps and a seemingly bigger team behind it...

in reply to Mwa • • •The default UI is very weird, you need to place most of the app icons by yourself and I think pressing Meta doesn't invoke the app launcher? Also I cannot start E with wayland currently, I could on v0.21.

in reply to Mwa • • •I have used Enlightenment 16 for around ten years with episodes of fooling around others like blackbox, fluxbox, ratpoison, icewm, gnome and even KDE but always went back. I just loved that look I could get with that ripple effect at the bottom and gkrellm: my computer looked straight out of a science fiction movie.
Most of that time I was waiting for E17, it would be looking so good I was telling myself. It was taking so long but they were creating the foundations to something so powerful that the wait was well worth the wait I kept telling myself.
Then one I was finally able to try it, just a few components at an early stage, but it felt so crappy that I must have waited another five years before I gave another look at it. At that point it had improved but not nearly enough to consider it as a viable option.
My tastes changed too, I still like good looking but I value efficiency more so I have been using I3 for a long while. Yesterday I saw a video about a similar one hyprland, I might try it if I can resolve to switch to Wayland.
