Don't you know? He saved the world from... umm... any communist who could have become dangerous to his position. /s

Defeating the Nazis was a pretty big deal, especially considering the Red Army was responsible for 4/5ths of total Nazi deaths. Plus, he oversaw the world's first socialist state. Terrorists like Trotsky were assassinated, yes, but it wasn't because they were personally dangerous to Stalin's position; Stalin attempted to resign no fewer than four times. He wasn't a saint, but he was comparatively much better than contemporaries like Churchill, despite being remembered as far worse by liberal historians.

I'd say yes. He oversaw the Red Army as they defeated the Nazis, responsible for 4/5ths of Nazi deaths, as well as helped guide the world's first socialist state. Said socialist state brought tremendous development, doubling life expectancy, achieving food security, tripling literacy rates, providing free and high quality healthcare and education, cheap housing, and more. Stalin wasn't a saint, but he was much better than contemporaries like Churchill, as an example.

Crafting a retro desktop for old computers (~1GB RAM) the right way


I have an old Asus EeePC 1015T netbook with an HDMI (and VGA) output, a screen that glitches if I'm holding it wrong, a huge, tired, unreliable battery, a noisy fan that fails to cool it to less than skin-burning temperatures, and slightly less than 1 GB of RAM. I've seen Xubuntu, then Lubuntu, become slowly unusable on it; I've tried to install Arch then Sway, but although the device got kinda less sluggish, the leaning curve for a tiling window manager was still too high.

So here's a thought experiment: could I craft a Linux setup with a themeable yet cohesive Windows 98-like UI, that I can plug to an old monitor (1280x1024 should be enough) and that can be just responsive enough to do basic, focused tasks (writing, listening to music and webradios, browsing Wikipedia, perhaps playing Doom) using this kind of very limited hardware? The idea would be to have some sort of reliability: instead of installing an old distro and freezing all updates, I'd ideally go for a modern basis that I can upgrade without worrying of watching my setup collapsing on itself; so I could reproduce this setup on other, similarly old computers, and turn them into retro distraction-free appliances where you could chill with a classic Windows feel and Winamp themes.

I have some ideas but I'm not sure about the best approach. I've tried an immutable Fedora image (Blue95), but after a full day and night of waiting for the setup and rebase to complete, the end result was way too slow to be usable. Then I went for BunsenLabs on a Debian Trixie basis: it works okay performance-wise, but there's a lot of obscure menu items pointing to small apps to customize (you have to know what a "conky" or a "tint2" is, and also understand that the default panel is a third different thing). I'm thinking of trying postmarketOS, since the Alpine base sounds lightweight enough, but I havent figured out how to install it on my EeePC.

Could Wayland be possible with these hardware limitations? If so, how should I setup it? I guess labwc (pictured above) is the best fit for a Win9x experience, but what is needed afterwards? LXQt or Xfce or something else?

I'm curious to hear your thoughts!

in reply to ailepet

I support it. But you will need the streaming software to fetch and listen to webradios and the like.

In the shattering ‘The Voice of Hind Rajab,’ the story of a 6-year-old killed in Gaza


cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/35631146

Updated 12:24 AM EDT, Sep 3, 2025
In January 2024, a 6-year-old girl trapped inside a bullet-riddled car in Gaza City begged for someone to rescue her. Contact was lost with the first ambulance. Hind Rajab, five family members and two medics were found dead 12 days later.

The impact of the story, and the audio of Hind’s voice from that call, has been vast, inspiring songs, protest movements and now a film from Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania.

“When you hear her voice you feel powerless,” Ben Hania told The Associated Press recently.

Hind’s cousin, Layan, who was in the car, had told family members that Israeli forces were firing on them before she was killed. The Red Crescent said Israeli troops fired on its ambulance. Asked for comment, the military said the incident is “still being reviewed..."

“RUBARE allo STATO non è sempre reato” (mannaggia!)


A me capita di seguire vari avvocati su YouTube, ma certe volte mi chiedo se sarebbe meglio restare nell’ignoranza per le questioni di legge, perché altrimenti ci si fa il sangue amarissimo… non quanto il “caffè amaro come la vita”, ma molto peggio, perché almeno il caffè è gustoso, mentre la realtà del nostro mondo […]

“RUBARE allo STATO non è sempre reato” (mannaggia!)


A me capita di seguire vari avvocati su YouTube, ma certe volte mi chiedo se sarebbe meglio restare nell’ignoranza per le questioni di legge, perché altrimenti ci si fa il sangue amarissimo… non quanto il “caffè amaro come la vita”, ma molto peggio, perché almeno il caffè è gustoso, mentre la realtà del nostro mondo nemmeno per un cazzo. E stamattina, per l’appunto, chi mi ha ricordato ciò è stato l’avvochad Angelo Greco… 😭

youtube.com/watch?v=QtQ0T4fnxk…

In breve, in questo video dice una cosa che sappiamo tutti, cioè che rubare allo Stato, una condotta che a primo impatto parrebbe gravissima, a volte è legalmente permesso — e anzi, aggiungerei io che in certi casi è anche premiato, o quantomeno fare il contrario significa essere vittime di scherno e biasimo, paradossalmente… Qualcosa di già assurdo di per sé, ma mai quanto un’altra cosa che difficilmente ci viene in mente, cioè che invece i danni piccoli vengono puniti alla grande; l’esempio che lui fa, per dire, è che se qualcuno ti passa una banconota incaricandoti di andargli a comprare il gelato, e tu te ne scappi coi soldi invece di assolvere al compito informale e deciso a voce, ti becchi (fino a) 5 anni di carcere, “appropriazione indebita aggravata”… 💀

Insomma, questa è l’Italia. Ovviamente, questo fatto lo si può vedere applicato su una scala più ampia e totalizzante, dove la punizione è, con gran paradosso, sempre inversamente proporzionale alla colpa. E quindi, se rubi i soldi del gelato e la vittima ti denuncia vai in galera, se sei un borseggiatore che dalla mattina alla sera sta a rubare alle persone ti arrestano per qualche minuto ma poi torni in libertà, se sei un imprenditore che evade il fisco magari passi qualche brutta nottata ma alla fine non succede niente, e se invece sei un politico che usa i soldi pubblici per cose proprie non ti indagano nemmeno… figurati pagare multe o che… 🥱

Che schifo, davvero. Non trovo nemmeno qualcosa da dire per ribaltare tutto e ridere, a questo giro… la riflessione di oggi è davvero così tanto amara; mi dispiace se ho rovinato la giornata a qualcuno. E non so se sia più grave il fatto che, a dire il vero, le cose in questo paese sembrano andare così, all’incontrario, da quando questo esiste… o se la vera questione sia che andando avanti questi paradossi aumentano, anziché diminuire… in questa repubblica dove, nei tribunali, campeggia sempre la scritta “la legge è uguale per tutti“, nonostante il fatto che questa frase sia forse la più grande bugia di tutti i tempi, e i politici non fanno e faranno altro che prendere tutti per il culo… 🙁

I haven't combed through the recent edits, but the most recent version of the Gaza War article lists the folllowing

keep in mind this page was originally titled Israel Hamas war, wikipedia is a battle ground, there's a lot of people putting in the time, doing the work

I won't surrender wikipedia, if there are communists involved, we will always win.

For clarification: It used to list ISIS under Israel with the ISIS flag next to it. And that was accurate.


D.C. Takeover Shows How Cities Can Lose Control of Surveillance


in reply to ray

They knew this would happen. This was the intent. They’ve also been constructing cop city style military bases near most cities for “training,” and the collective reaction is largely apathetic.

The city leadership was not gullible pawns. They were involved in setting it up for this from the start.

Venice Film Festival premieres movie of Hind Rajab's story


A new film about a five-year-old girl killed in Gaza by Israeli Occupation Forces is drawing attention at the Venice Film Festival, as its director seeks to humanize the victims of the assault.

Franco-Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania told journalists Wednesday that her aim with The Voice of Hind Rajab is to provide “a voice and a face” to those often reduced to statistics in global media coverage.

“We've seen that the narrative all around the world is that those dying in Gaza are collateral damage, in the media, and I think this is so dehumanising,” Ben Hania said ahead of the film’s world premiere. “And that's why cinema, art, and every kind of expression is very important to give those people a voice and a face.”



Zionist group sues two Australian academics for opposing the Gaza genocide


A group of pro-Zionist staff and students, backed by a high-profile legal team, is suing University of Sydney academics Nick Riemer and John Keane in the Federal Court of Australia for making public statements opposing the Gaza genocide.
in reply to technocrit

As of writing, the total had almost doubled to over $112,000 from some 1,200 individual donations.


this is a tiny fraction of what they're going to need in combat both the isreali and australian gov'ts; they're fucked.

in reply to Madison420

that's less than a yearly salary for an entry level software engineer in the united states and no where close to the salary of a team of lawyers with the requisite experience to litigate this case.

nevertheless, i hope i'm wrong.

in reply to eldavi

Lol no its not median is 130k which means most jobs are well under that and a few far exceed it. That said that wasn't the issue I had, they aren't fighting the Australian government.
in reply to Madison420

i guess i keep forgetting that anecdotal experience is a thing and the article points out the australian law:

The court case follows on from a complaint lodged by law firm Levitt Robinson last year with the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC). It alleged that Riemer and Keane had violated Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, which prohibits public acts that “offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person” based on their race.


i don't know what it's like under the australian system, but in the american one; they have to defend themselves first.

in reply to eldavi

They are not fighting the Australian government.

It is a statutory body funded by, but operating independently of, the Australian Government. It is responsible for investigating alleged infringements of Australia's anti-discrimination legislation in relation to federal agencies.


Barring that they still do not have to defend themselves at this point they're just responding to a complaint.

Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps


US immigration agents will have access to one of the world’s most sophisticated hacking tools after a decision by the Trump administration to move ahead with a contract with Paragon Solutions, a company founded in Israel which makes spyware that can be used to hack into any mobile phone – including encrypted applications.

The Department of Homeland Security first entered into a contract with Paragon, now owned by a US firm, in late 2024, under the Biden administration. But the $2m contract was put on hold pending a compliance review to make sure it adhered to an executive order that restricts the US government’s use of spyware, Wired reported at the time.

That pause has now been lifted, according to public procurement documents, which list US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) as the contracting agency.

Imagine the uproar if this was the daily reality for Americans, Germans, or the British -- On second thought, seeing their silence in their own oppression, their unwillingness to even fight the oppressors on their own soil, they may start loud, but ultimately would end with a whimper.

Why does my pc make so many connections?


Hello all,

According to the Wireshark record my computer connects to various services often, including Amazon, Hetzner, 1337 Services GmbH, Evanzo GmbH and ThomasFamilyInvestments. The most often were the connections to mail.my-mail.rocks which is a part of Netcup GmbH. I have a somewhat minimal distro and the attached recordings were made when no app was open including no browser. I can send the other screenshots showing other connections too. I'm suspecting of malware since some time ago but can you help me clarify these connections please?
