  • Possible alternative for Whatsapp is to run matrix and a WhatsApp bridge, then all of your messages will be stored in the WhatsApp bridge, and you can access them via a matrix client. Pretty long winded though. As for Android auto, I can't afford a fancy new car with a screen in it so I just mount my phone on the dashboard and use it like that with no Android auto.

    Strikes me that there should be some kind of provisioning tool similar to Ansible for Android devices, what does industry do when they need to automate provisioning of thousands of devices for POS, retail, barcode scanning, delivery drivers, etc.

  • Several of the ones listed on awesome-typst are similar, notably:

    Not to knock the work you have done though

  • I was using a template like this several months ago, (in typst) I think someone had already ported awesomecv beforehand.

  • So e-commerce site? Or is it digital delivery only? Also I'm getting filtered by the captcha, how do you solve it?

  • Sellafield is leaking nuclear sludge due to decades of neglect and apathy; an entirely British problem

  • There is a neovim plugin with a Firefox companion extension that basically puts your neovim inside the textbox on the webpage. It's pretty crazy, and works with most text input fields.

  • Miniflux for self hosters and Read You on Android are great apps for rss

  • The current Chinese state did not exist before WW2, so I think that comparison is a bit odd

  • Lemmy is developed by commies, they won't kick you off for organizing. But it is public so not the best for opsec.

  • Probably not directly responsible but there is a strong link between them in the gut-brain axis, the effects are likely bidirectional

  • Which nations would you not call shitholes?

  • Frankly man I find this very insulting and pretty racist. You don't have a good word to say about them eh?

  • If politics is not policy and strategy, what is it? A game?

  • Wtf are you on about? I've been to Vietnam several times and the progress they have achieved in such a short period of time is incredible. They have built megacities on the ground where the yanks firebombed. Have you been to Da Nang? Walked around HCMC? Spoken to the people? They are evidently working against the corruption, as we can see in this article, whereas where I live everyone knows the govt sends cash to their buddies and no one can do anything about it? (The UK)

  • Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear

  • Are there any particular texts from Engels that you disagree with? I would be interested to know where you think the split is. From my reading, Engels was mostly involved in the philosophical and scientific side of the development of dialectical materialism and it's application into Marxism. Eg. "Dialectics of Nature", "The German ideology", "Feuerbach and the end of German classical philosophy","anti-duhring" etc. I'm not sure where the apparent "brutality" is coming from here?

  • Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear

  • How can you agree with Marx and not with Engels? Engels practically did a large chunk of the philosophical heavy lifting for Marxism.

  • China is leading the world in cost effective manufacturing and infrastructure projects. I have no idea what you are huffing but it must be strong

  • Provider for goods? What are you on about? Western nations outsource all production to the global south (pretty much) and the only thing they make is overpriced software (hyperbole)

  • I am not interested in the nitty gritty of the legality of what the cop did. I don't think he should have done it, and to me speaks of a lack of training (and the fact that they are reliant on their firearms)

    I am aware of the principle of proportional response, and I know the line is generally; if you fear for your life then it is legally acceptable to maim the assailant. But to kill them I think is a step too far.

    I do not think the hoe is "reasonably capable of causing "grievous bodily harm"". I think it is reasonably capable of causing injury, sure, such as cuts, lacerations, blunt trauma. I think GBH would be a very unlikely outcome and if confronted with that as a weapon I would not be preparing myself to kill or even maim them. It is a pretty easy weapon to disarm.

    What will happen next in the Ukraine?

    I read recent articles from NEO and others:

    And they paint a very worrying picture. It seems the imperialists are unwilling to allow Russia to "win" - what they mean exactly by this; I'm not sure. Will they be pacified if Ukraine accepts a deal with the current lines as new borders? If not, it seems the only way they can realistically continue this is by using their own troops; which Putin will most likely see as an act of war and has said that he will be forced to use nuclear weapons. I don't know what will happen. The imperialists won't want to settle with Russia, because it

    CPBML position on immigration seems dodgy

    I stumbled upon the Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist)'s articles about immigration, and to me they have a whiff of nationalism and fascism. Links:

    Their point seems to be that immigration is bad because it brings down the conditions and wages of british workers, and can be used to break strikes, for example the doctors strike. That it degrades the quality of public services like housing, healthcare etc. etc. In the description of the meeting, they say "how should we respond?"

    To me this just sounds like EDL (English Defence Le

    Should I organise our workplace?

    I work in a small startup company, about 14 people. Recently, the leadership asked us to sign something to waive a limit on the working hours we do (called the Working Time Directive in the UK, limits time to 48 hours a week). However, many lab scientists here have been working significantly more (60+ hours) for many months, which would be illegal.

    I thought this might give us an opportunity to have a bit more leverage, as not everyone has signed this yet. If we make some demands and refuse to sign it until we do, we can threaten legal action (is what I thought).

    I spoke to some of the scientists and they are all a bit fed up at the amount of time they are being asked to work. Not that the leadership ever says you must come in, just they say that these projects need to be done, and the work just takes that long. We also are not paid overtime at all, so these scientists are working sometimes 100hr weeks for equivalently less than minimum wage. I don't know everyone's salaries exactly

    Rojava, AANES and Syria

    I was wondering if anyone had some ML perspectives on the situation in Syria. I recently learned about Rojava, and I was wondering about the background of the conflict between the Assad government and the AANES, afaik they both have marxist roots and so I wanted to learn about the contradictions and reasons for the combat.

    US deploys 3000 troops and an aircraft carrier to Iran

    I don't quite understand what's going on here, what's the context? I read that Iran has been seizing oil ships, which is pretty based, but what is the bigger picture? Would appreciate if anyone could throw some light on it.

    Audio and performance issues on dual-booted thinkpad

    Hi there,

    Making a post to see if anyone has any ideas about the problems i'm currently having. I have installed Arch via EndeavourOS as a secondary OS on my work laptop (other OS is Win 11). The laptop in question is a thinkpad p15 v3, which has an i7 12700H, and the integrated Intel Alder Lake-P gpu. I'm using Gnome on wayland as my DE at the moment.

    The only game I have been playing so far is Hollow Knight through proton (the native version had very bad input lag), and I have a couple of issues with it:

    • Performance, on battery power, is pretty bad, around 30-40 fps with low settings. When on AC, the laptop starts to get really hot (70 C) and the exhaust feels like a hair dryer, but performance increases only by 10 fps or so. I'm pretty sure I installed necessary drivers following the arch wiki page.
    • Audio, this is the major problem. Endeavour came with pulseaudio installed, which I removed and replaced with pipewire, pipewire-pulse, and wireplumber. When playing Hollow Knig

    An article I thought was very interesting. It highlighted to me how having technology development centralised like this allows for faster innovation and development. Red Sails also has lots of other good articles too.

    package to move and manage folders?

    Hi,

    I'm looking for a package that will allow me to configure some rules for moving folders and then watch a folder and automatically move folders or files that match rules to a certain other directory. Does something like this exist?

    The use case is that I have data being saved to a single directory by other devices, and then I would like to reorganize it based on the file or folder name.

    Or anyone have any other ideas of how to do this?

    I used to use Komoot to generate my routes, and then their garmin app would download them from my account. This isn’t very foss, so I was looking for some better tools to make this work.

    I was planning to use OsmAnd to create the route file, but then after that I would have to use Garmin Connect to transfer the file. (and with storage sandboxing, that would be very fiddly)

    Any tips?
