Hundreds of parliamentarians from 73 countries say "take Cuba off the list"
  • Until now. And I'm afraid that's the point the USA government wants to make with this barbaric measure. They will only leave Cuba alone if the American people demands it in exchange of enough votes or until the USA becomes a contested hegemon or until Cuba gives away everything they've fought for decades because, shit, it sure is terrible to keep holding on. To me, it doesn't matter if they can't resist anymore and give everything away, they are already a nation of giants, but I will always hope for the people of the USA to finally take over their electoral system and start taking decisions by themselves as in a true democracy.

  • What are your favorite shows and why?
  • This show truly deserves all the praise. My older brother used to watch it back in its time, and I couldn't understand how a 30-ish year old could watch cartoons like that.

    15 years passed and someone recommends it. One day, while recovering from some cold in bed, I put Avatar out of boredom, some days after that recommendation. Damn. First couple of chapters are not very strong, but enough to keep digging. As these are short episodes, it really doesn't matter. But the ending of the first season? That is art.

  • What are your favorite shows and why?
  • The Wire is one of those shows that portray the detective work with different approaches. They also show brilliant criminal minds, leadership and organization. There are bits of heroism in some rogue characters, too. The political and juducial aspects of organized crime are unashamedly put in front of you. Acting and writing are top-notch. It's just a must watch if you like TV shows.

    BTW, great picks Severance and The Expanse, however, the latter had so many problems to find enough financial support that ends up showing on the screen. Being said that, the show is awesome in a Battlestar Galactica way to make things happen no matter the circumstance.

  • The US regime just executed another innocent black man.
  • You are deflecting from the issue here. Legitimate violence, whatever you and I understand for "legitimate" is not the issue, since I guess we can recognize that violence is gradual. We are talking death penalty and it's derivations in the US judicial system. There are a lot of states that won't just systematically kill their citizens and citizens from other countries. A type of zealot entitlement is needed by their governments to keep doing it in cases like this.

  • Capitalist logix
  • "People help other people because it makes them feel good". I'd say the meaning is "people help others in need so they can feel good". Is there a problem with this? If someone in need of help receive that help, they will feel alleviated, while people giving help will feel good. I don't know, it sounds great to me. Even if the helping ones wouldn't feel a thing, like robots, it would be still great, in my book, because someone in need is being attended.

    Now, if the helping ones feel bad for helping, and the others feel good, then I can see an issue. The only problem I could see is to be angry because there are people in need to start with.

  • Video shows Israeli soldiers throwing the bodies of Palestinian men off buildings
  • I remember 11 months ago a Palestinian professor was interviewed, and he kept saying "we are people, we are not monsters, we do have dreams, we are allowed to live". Can't stop thinking, what if one of these bodies used to be his, him?

    GitHub - icefields/Power-Ampache-2: second version of my popular ampache Android app

    Years ago, when Owncloud was still the only self hosted cloud solution around, the Music app used to come with an Ampache backend to connect to your music through client apps. My favorite for Android was Power Ampache, it was almost the only one, that and an extension for the really old Just Player. After a while, a Subsonic server was added to the Music app and these Subsonic clients proliferated. So, I switched to a Subsonic client, then another, and another... none was really doing it for me. DSub is great but looks dated and lacks some features, others are not mature enough, and some I just find too barebones.

    Recently, Power Ampache 2 was released, and even though it's still in beta or even alpha, it already looks great and my favorite client again. Check it out if you have an Ampache server or a Nextcloud instance with music!

    How to update to Nobara 39 if transaction test errors arise

    So, I was having a hard time trying to update Nobara 38 to Nobara 39. Did the KDE swap, followed the website instructions to upgrade but in the last part, after:

    $sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=39 -y

    I'd get:

    Error: Transaction test error:

    file /usr/lib64/libopenh264.so.2.3.1 conflicts between attempted installs of noopenh264-0.1.0~openh264_2.3.1-2.fc39.x86_64 and openh264-2.3.1-2.fc39.x86_64

    Tried several solutions to this without success but noticed it's just that two packages in the upgrade are trying to write the same file. My solution was to just disable the openh264 Cisco repo for the upgrade with:

    $sudo dnf config-manager --set-disabled fedora-cisco-openh264

    You can do this also in the Diskover preferences.

    After disabling the Cisco repo you can proceed with:

    $sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=39 -y

    $sudo system-upgrade reboot

    Then, after a successful upgrade, go to Diskover > Preferences and enable (check) the fedora_cisco_openh264 repo. Finally, do perform a system update with Nobara update tool. Install whatever it tells you it's missing and then you are done.

    Figured I'd share this here since the threads in Reddit don't show any clear fix to the problem. Hope someone can use it.

    Rulfo's reprimands are serious business!

    You guys seem to think my boy is all cute when he is angry, but he's some kind of monster of the week from the X-Files when he's scolding at my face! Here is proof.

    One millisecond before a scold

    So, Rulfo (aka Chochi) had been following me all over the house meowing loudly at me for like half an hour. I sat on the table, he followed me of course. Sat right next to me and continued meowing at my face. This is he, an instant before one of his reprimands.

    How do you feel about financing a genocide?

    I didn't want to direct this question to Americans specifically because, at this point, other countries have shown support to Israel in one or the other way. If my country was financing this, I would be taking the streets. Shit, I'm right now in the hospital but all I can think about is protesting anyway just to feel I did something to stop this madness.

    Are you doing something about this? Are you feeling unsettled? How do you feel about all this mess?

    EDIT: So, buying Chinese stuff takes the USS Gerald Ford to Gaza’s coast. Also, TIL that that chocolate my cousin gave me when she was 20 and I was 5, (delicious stuff!) made me a slavist-ish. The fact remains, this genocide is being paid and supported by taxpayers money; of course, I was hoping that most of us didn’t pay taxes wishing for this. Thank you all for your responses, some of them were hard to swallow.
