Literally all of these except number 23 and 31 are left wing protests.
Let that sink in 32/34 that’s over 94% of the biggest protests in the US were left wing.
We are the majority. Stop believing in the Reagenesque “silent majority” BS.
The majority of people, dont want oligarchs and conservative bigotry.
We are the majority.
🌍🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀 Always have been. That's why conservatives constantly try to make it harder to vote - the more people vote, the more left wing politicians win. Because the majority of people agree with left wing ideals.
This has changed. Look at the propensity switch. Low propensity voters back trump by higher margins than high propensity voters since 2020.
Hence why Democrats dominate low turnout special elections these days
I was about to say the list was incomplete as several million attended the Iraq war protests, but it turns out that was global and only a few hundred k Americans bothered to protest the invasion of Iraq based on manufactured propaganda.
The post 9/11 bloodthirsty hysteria, "you're either with us or against us" dissonance, religious nationalism, and ignorant patriotism is what made me believe the US would become an authoritarian dictatorship in my lifetime. Great job teenage me. I hate it.
A lot of people forget the shear bloodlust in the USA after 9/11 that lasted for years.
When people compare the Vietnam and Iraq Wars, a lot of people forget there was a large chunk of the country who were rabidly pro Iraq War while there wasn't an equivalent base for the Vietnam War.
This is online discourse in general with Americans. Nuance is impossible, it's all "you're either with us or against us", for example when discussing China. Doesn't even have to be something political, just any charged argument at a point in time.
Must be a coincidence that Lemmy was much more relaxed and welcoming when there were fewer Americans here in the beginning, you could even read news about European countries, now all we get is American politics spam.
Doesn't even have to be something political
Yeah, it does. Everything is political. I guarantee, you've never had an apolotical argument taken over by Americans, because there's no such thing as an apolotical argument

Migrating qbit data from Mac to Linux
Hello all,
I'm having some issues that probably stem from lack of education on computers, so if some kind soles out there can give me some assistance I'd very much appreciate it.
My immediate goal is to take all my torrent data from my MacBook qbittorrent (latest version) to my old laptop that I just loaded ElementaryOS on. This way I can have my files seeding at all times instead of when I have my mac up and running. I have all the actual media on a external SSD so I don't have to or want to redownload all the torrents on the Elementary pc.
I've done some basic reading but all the articles and youtube vids I see are just migrating from one windows to another windows machine. Duplicating the data in the app data and drag and dropping it. I've even seen the recommendation to have the same version of qbittorrent to make the swap easy. Now my under educated mind is confused on going from Mac to Linux since its a completely different OS and therefore a different "version" of qbit. I imagine its possible but I'm feeling out of my depth.
I'd really love if someone can point me in the right direction if they can.
On the Mac, open qbittorrent, select all torrents in the client, and export them as torrent files or magnets, whichever you prefer.
Copy all the torrent/magnet files to a thumb drive or something and copy them to the elementary laptop.
On the elementary laptop, start without an internet connection. Connect the external drive with all the downloaded files, mount it if elementary doesn't auto mount it, and note the path.
Open qbittorrent.
Set the default save path in qbittorrent to the path of the mounted drive with all of your downloaded files.
If you want to do it in bulk, now add all the torrent files to QBittorrent. You may have to verify the file location for the torrents to make sure it sees the files on the drive.
Once you're certain all the loaded torrents are pointing to the save path for the files, you can close qbittorrent, connect the laptop to the internet, and relaunch qbittorrent.
It should verify all the files it finds for the torrents, which can take some time if you have a lot of torrents, and once verified it'll automatically start seeding
Goid luck!!
That's the process I've used when switching machines for seeding, and it works great, just takes time for it to recheck all the files.
I followed your guide and everything works perfectly now! Thanks so much. I hope you don’t mind if I ask you a follow up question since you seem wise in the ways of wizardry.
I’m hoping to make this old laptop a jellyfin server as well. And this may seem a dumb question but I’d be remiss not to ask. I’m planning to leave this plugged in all the time. I already turned off the sleep/suspend feature. Is it safe to keep the battery in? To remove the battery I’d have to open it up and remove it and I don’t know if it’s worth the hassle.
Again thanks for your previous advice and if you have the time to answer this double thanks

'Immediate' Pirate IPTV Shutdowns? No Problem, Please Ask Us Yesterday
Sports rightsholders have revised their calls for illegal streams to be taken down inside 30 mins. It must now happen much more quickly, with the word 'immediately' given the thumbs up. How much of this additional pressure is bargaining strategy isn't clear, but in site-blocking countries like Italy, the UK, and Canada, detecting pirate infrastructure isn't a last minute effort. Many targets earmarked for blocking are identified not just hours in advance, but in some cases days earlier.

Why boycotting the Harry Potter TV show accomplishes nothing and what to do instead.
I have to say, this is just such an in-the-weeds moral stance that it crosses the boundary of reasonableness. Honestly, it's this sort of thing that drove me away from left wing styles of thinking a while ago.
The impact you make on the world in any of your possible actions with regard to Harry Potter is miniscule. Like, truly, utterly insignificant. Are you going to organize an anti-potter boycott? Participate in a protest? Harass the actors in an online trolling movement? Throw eggs at JK Rawling's house? Great! Go do all those things! Actively participate in changing the world for the better! These actions might actually lead to real change.
But denying yourself pleasures in the name of moral purity accomplishes nothing. If all you do is sit at home and think to yourself "I wanna watch the new Harry Potter thing, but I can't, because then I'm a bad person." (or in this case, "I wanna talk to my friends about the new Harry Potter thing I pirated, but I can't, because then I'm a bad person) then you are accomplishing literally nothing except making yourself miserable. Again, if you are going to actually do something, then go do it! But if you don't have the time or energy or interest or social battery to actually do something, then shaming yourself or others into not doing things is actively counterproductive. Go take a road trip without calculating if the pleasure you will derive is worth the carbon footprint! Eat an ice cream cone without feeling bad about the the suffering of the factory farmed cow it came from! Get one of those good-paying jobs in oil and gas or defence and make some goddamned money! You are simply not important enough for any of these actions to have any actual real-world impact. The only thing that happens is that you convince yourself that if you ever enjoy anything, then you are a bad person. You train yourself to constantly be looking for the ways in which life's simple pleasures are destroying the world, so you can feel bad about them.
Just stop it. Be happy. Do whatever you need to do to chill out and enjoy your life and gain some sense of contentedness and security. And then go out and make the world a better place by actually doing something. Hyper-anxious, shame-ridden, depressed know-it-alls rarely create effective social change because no one wants to hang out with them. No one see them and thinks "yeah, that's what I want my life to look like."
In order to lead by example you have to show a path to a better world. Not a cell.

“The squirt guns are to bother the tourists a bit,” Andreu Martínez said with a chuckle after spritzing a couple seated at an outdoor cafe. “Barcelona has been handed to the tourists. This is a fight to give Barcelona back to its residents.”Martínez says his rent has risen over 30% as more apartments in his neighborhood are rented to tourists for short-term stays. He said there is a knock-on effect of traditional stores being replaced by businesses catering to tourists, like souvenir shops, burger joints and “bubble tea” spots.
“Our lives, as lifelong residents of Barcelona, is coming to an end,” he said. “We are being pushed out systematically.”
They have a point. People may dismiss this as “xenophobia” but I see it more as a matter of class divisions where rich tourists are prioritised over lower class residents.

Qualche ora fa, semplicemente accendendo il PC, ho involontariamente e accidentalmente (perché non lo stavo affatto cercando, e perché la situazione per cui questa cosa è possibile è parecchio problematica sotto tutti gli altri punti di vista) scoperto un modo per bloccare permanentemente gli aggiornamenti automatici di Windows… senza smanettare, senza fare cose strane, senza nemmeno essere un amministratore del sistema. Per l’appunto, non era mia intenzione bloccare gli aggiornamenti, ma a quanto pare questo è esattamente cosa succede quando il disco C: è pieno quasi fino all’orlo (nonché quando è pieno fino all’ultimo byte, ma in quello stato non funzionano bene neanche le app, quindi sarebbe ovvio). 💣
Ecco qua: avvio il PC, in cui la mia partizione C: ha appena 1 GB e mezzo di spazio libero, ed esce questo bel messaggio a schermo (ambiguo come al solito sul momento, ma cliccando Maggiori informazioni si capisce subito tutto)… perché ops, alla Microsoft non bastano 1 miliardo e passa di byte (!) per installare un semplice aggiornamento cumulativo. Da qui ne deduco che, se lo spazio disponibile rimanesse così poco all’infinito, Windows non riuscirebbe mai a scaricare nessun aggiornamento; di conseguenza, gli aggiornamenti sarebbero bloccati per sempre. 🥴Ci sarebbe da dire che, in realtà, spesso noto la quantità di spazio disponibile sul disco cambiare da sola, riducendosi o espandendosi con margini che vanno dal centinaio di MB al paio di GB, senza che io faccia nulla di particolare (cosa normale, sarà questione che ogni tanto l’SSD viene trimmato, o che le mie applicazioni e il sistema operativo smuovono le proprie cache), quindi non saprei quanto davvero questo sia affidabile come metodo per bloccare gli aggiornamenti, qualora ce ne fosse bisogno (che, ripeto, non è il mio caso)… Eppure, a pensarci bene, da qualche settimana ho il disco così strapieno, e da qualche settimana non noto arrivare aggiornamenti… per cui… 😹

Just wanted to show off the lowest end hardware I ever ran Linux on
Single core, 32 bit CPU, can't even do video playback on VLC. But it kinda works for some offline work, like text editing, and even emulation through zsnes! It's crazy how Linux keeps old hardware like this running.
Thankfully though, this laptop CPU is upgradable, and so is the ram, so I'm planning on revitalizing and bringing this old Itautec to the 21st century 😄

Whilst the Celeron was indeed utter cack, 2 GB has me making four Yorkshiremen-style "2GB? Luxury!" style comments.
I used to run Ubuntu on my Acer Aspire 1362 WMLi back in 2005. I had 512 MB of RAM and a 2800+ Sempron processor.
That said, looking at this:
cpubenchmark.net/compare/1351v…
My old Sempron was a better CPU than that piece of junk Celeron you've got there. Giving it 2GB of RAM is hilarious!

Comparing Mobile AMD Sempron 2800+ vs Intel Celeron M 1.60GHzwww.cpubenchmark.net
I assume it was made to upsell people to better CPUs. Celerons have always been awful.
That said, if Win7 came preinstalled then we're talking about different eras of Celeron, at least, I cannot imagine it would be as mediocre as a low-mid AMD CPU from 2004!
I always think of an ex of mine defending criticism of her craptop. "It was good for its time!" No, no it wasn't. It was built around a Celeron. It was built to be trash. It was ewaste with extra steps.
Man, does 384 sound weird!
I know it was a 256 MB and a 128 MB stick... but it was a long time ago..
I think my lowest was a 33 MHz 486sx (maybe DX) with 8MB of RAM.
I wouldn't want to try it today though.
I have not been able to find the case again since. It was a local shop that built it from parts, so it was not a big brand. I didn't pick the parts either, since I knew nothing about PCs at the time, and it showed lol.
Edit: it was a white/beige mini tower. If I recall correctly, it was similar to a lot of cases at the time, with a black band across and a circular button on the right. The turbo and reset buttons were pink and teal in the shape of triangles. I purchased it in 1992 when I needed a PC for college.
Celeron M with 2GB ram? That's actually not low at all 😛
I bet it runs NetBSD or Tinycore flawlessly
Debian will not run on Pentium anymore. It is not performance, it is compiler options. You need a i686 (Pentium Pro). This means none of the Debian derivatives will either.
Adelie, Arch32, and T2 all still run on Pentium though I believe.
[edit: sorry, I saw Pentium 75 from the comment above - Celeron M should be fine]

Considering they just dropped i486 support this year I’d say you’re running this on a super computer by comparison

My 2011 MacBook pro is still chugging along thanks to Linux.
I upgraded 4GB RAM to 16GB, upgraded the HDD to SSD, and replaced the CD drive with a second SSD. Sadly the screen is almost completely gone, occasionally intermittent, probably a cable gone bad, not sure, but the mini display port is working fine for an external monitor.
My girlfriend’s 2012 MacBook Pro is also running Fedora like a beast with its upgraded 16GB or Ram and its SSD.
It’s great that old hardware gets a bew chance to shine!

I have Linux on a 2009 and 2012 MacBook Pro and 2013 and 2017 MacBook Airs.
The 2009 is getting a bit sluggish but for regular stuff, they all work great. We even played a Steam game on the 2012 earlier today (not AAA obviously).

Slowest thing I have tried to work on was a 386. But this one was slow - compiling the kernel took an eternity.
You would be surprised. If you stay text only and use a 32 bit distro, it would run up to date versions of most CLI programs.
Adelie and Arch32 still support Pentium.
Booting to a GUI, there are still a few options. I think Velox would run on that. I bet Xorg with FVWM would too. You are not going to have much left for apps though. However, you could run a couple of terminals.
Adelie Linux (totally modern Linux distro) lists 64 MB as the minimum server memory requirement.
I ran Damn Small Linux on it about 15 years ago. That worked pretty well and it would even run a web browser. It would probably boot Tiny Core Linux, but there wouldn't be much RAM left to run any programs. The motherboard supports 128MB, but it's not really worth the cost to upgrade it though.
I may see about resurrecting that computer. I've got an old Motorola police radio that I would like to reprogram to operate in the 2M ham band and I think that PC will run the programming software.

It is because it is 32 bit. You can run a 32 bit distro on your machine too if you really want.
You can get a full Trinity desktop on Q4OS in 130 MB of RAM (32 bit edition).
Are you running Trinity or KDE?
Not sure why I get so much less unless it is that. Or are you saying you run Trinity 64 bit?
I agree that 32 bit is not often going to be 50% less in practice. Sometimes I think we should be running 64 bit kernels with 32 bit userland.
Are we competing again?
I'm proud to be setting up a rhel10 desktop, as it'll be the first time I ran Linux as a desktop in 30 years of a Linux/Unix career.

i usually replace Thinkcentre fans w noctua for power draw, performance, and noise. and remove wifi module, not needed, draws power, closed blob firmware, is a risk. pops out easy, no config changes needed in Debian.
Hell yeah! Love seeing old hardware like this still running a modern OS.
With Linux, if your hardware is a decade old, you've barely even reached middle-age.
Meanwhile Windows 11 won't even allow an official install on hardware that's 4-5 years old.

Thanks for suggesting DietPi! I never heard of it but it sounds just like what my ZeroW needs
(Also runs PiHole)
No problem! I've used it for years, though my home assistant running on a Raspberry Pi 4 is now doing the pi-hole thing with adguard instead as the original one was having issues. Though you get weird DNS quirks when the machine running DNS also relies on the internet.
Plus that time I did a dumb thing in home assistant to see what would happen, and it brought the internet down.
So I am keen to get another Pi. I highly recommend keeping it on a dedicated device you never touch except for updates!

Similar story but I just installed slackware on one of the University PCs (they just had a handful of PCs in the general computer room for the students and nobody actually watched over us) since I did not have a PC yet (only had a ZX Spectrum at the timback then).
Trying to get X-Windows to work in Slackware was interesting, to say the least: back then you had to manually create your own video timings configuration file to get the graphics to work - which means defining the video mode at the very low level, such as configuring the number of video clock cycles between end-of-line-drawing and horizontal-retrace - and fortunatelly I didn't actually blow up any monitor (which was possible if you did the configuration wrong).
At least we had some access to the Internet (most things were blocked but we had Usenet and e-email and one could use FTPmail gateways to download stuff from remote servers) via Ethernet, so that part was easy.
Anyways, my first reaction looking at the OP's post was like: yeah, if they're running X it's probably a too powerfull machine.
My favorite part of the first configuration of x back then, you screw with the conf for ages, manage to get a viable video mode set, startx for the billionth time... gray screen, mouse cursor... Overflowingly happy... Wait, now what? No program manager, no apps, no terminal, No exit, no shutdown. What's a window manager? The least apparent thing in the world being to switch consoles , export a display variable, and start an xtern in the video console.
We worked so hard for every little thing.
Yeah, but at least we knew how to switch consoles.
I bet that most Linux users nowadays don't event know the CTRL+ALT+Fx shortcuts to switch console.
Can't say that the old days were really "good" compared to what we had now, but there was definitelly a lot of satisfaction in step by step getting the system to work.
I got my modem working in Slackware in 1997 - but the PPP driver (equivalent of WinSock - which worked in Windows quite well at the time) would only work during the first boot of the system. After a reboot, PPP would never return, and the best I got out of the internet about it at the time (mostly using my Windows PC) was "real men connect to the internet through ethernet."
Between that an the useless (unless you enjoy frustration) sound drivers, I declared Linux "not ready for prime time," and left it to others until starting back in via Cygwin in 2003, then Gentoo (for 64 bit access you couldn't get any other way) in 2005.
Stories from the "good" old days running Linux on a 386 machine with 4 MB or less of memory aside, in the present day it's still perfectly normal to run Linux on a much weaker machine as a server - you can just rent a the cheapest VPS you can find (which nowadays will have 128 MB, maybe 256MB, and definitelly only give you a single core) and install it there.
Of course, it won't be something with X-Windows or Wayland, much less stuff like LibreOffice.
I think the server distribution of Ubunto might fit such a VPS, though there are server-specific Linux distros that will for sure fit and if everything fails TinyCore Linux will fit in a potato.
I current have a server like that using AlmaLinux on a VPS with less than 1GB in memory, which is used only as a Git repository and that machine is overkill for it (it's the lowest end VPS with enough storage space for a Git repository big enough for the projects I'm working on, so judging by the server management interface and linux meminfo, that machine's CPU power and memory are in practice far more than needed).
If you're willing to live with a command line interface, you can run Linux on $50 worth of hardware.
only give you a single core
And boy would that core be shitty and over-provisioned.
can’t even do video playback on VLC.
I remember back in the day when I downloaded the first divx file my K6-400 couldn't smoothly play... I had been so used to thinking of that as a powerhouse coming from my Pentium 60, which was the first one I ran Linux on.
I’m planning on revitalizing and bringing this old Itautec to the 21st century
I think it was born in the 21st century? From this it looks like the first Celeron M was in 2004, and the first at that clockspeed was 2005.
Also, 2GB of RAM is plenty for many purposes - that's more than any Raspberry Pi before the Pi 4 had!
Actually.. You're right about the 21st century lmao. I just wanted an excuse to quote Metal Gear Solid
Also, the issue is not ram itself, of course, 2GB is enough for lots of fun on Linux, it's the CPU that's killing me

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.
alr thank you this makes soo much sense Now
KDE/Gnome that it feels like using anything else is just asking for trouble.
I agree espically for stuff like Good Wayland Support,VRR,etc
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.

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?
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.
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.
Enlightenment on openSUSE 13.2
Fortunately e19 landed just in time to get into openSUSE 13.2 …simotek.net
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!
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 …What the Daily WTF?

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...
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.
I cannot start E with wayland currently, I could on v0.21.
I tried E on Wayland before had the same issue i thought it was cause my Setup (I was using QEMU/KVM with distro Cachyos installed to test it )
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.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin Scheme: How Wall Street Giants Are Bilking Poor People Out of Money
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.
