I am so tired of using i3

I am so tired of window managers and desktop environments. Everything is either lightweight to a fault and requires a ton of weird custom jank to match a DE, or is a DE with way too many features, none of which I have any control over. When I was a kid I started with using LXDE. Their website went down in May of this year. Maybe I'm nostalgic, but I want to use LXDE. There's something nihilistic about it that I admire. Something dead. I like dead things. Dead software, bitrot, the open source abandonware slowly dying as even c compilers move on, as everyone but Debian drops binaries from their repos. I like Debian. It feels like a hive city built atop a necropolis of lost libraries.

I'm switching to LXDE

May my PC be a kenotaphion of abandonware

so I tried to compile my ncurses snake game on Termux, the terminal emulator on Android.

g++ told me "you don't have addwstr" but I am using the ncursesw/curses.h header, it does not make sense.

Upon a closer look, apparently ncursesw uses the default curses header, linking directly back to the previous directory. I couldn't find more nuanced packages for curses, so I replaced addwstr with addstr and voila. It works

HP 2113E minicomputer and 87XM micro – Mike Loewen

"The HP 2113E minicomputer from 1976 was part of the second series of 21MX machines, and used semiconductor RAM instead of core memory. The system on display has a 2748B high speed paper tape reader (500cps) which is used to load software into RAM. Paper tape BASIC will be loaded, after which BASIC programs can be loaded from the interpreter. A 2645A terminal is used for communication. Also on display is an 87XM personal computer from 1983 with dual diskette drives. The 87MX has built in BASIC with graphics capability."

I spent some time programming in BASIC on the HP2113E (which is a model in the HP 1000 line), but before I could Mike had to load BASIC into RAM first. He had a cleaver method of rewinding the tape using a power drill.

MY EYES ARE SWOLLEN FROM CRYING. I CAN'T SAVE MY WIFE.

Every day I watch her struggle without the urgent treatment she needs. Fear and helplessness overwhelm me, and I don’t know how much longer we can endure this.

My daughters, Alma, Lama, and Lina, ask about their mother and cling to me in fear. I try to stay strong for them, but it gets harder every day.

At the same time, we struggle to meet our basic needs. Food, clean water, medicine, and daily essentials cost more than $200 every day, and we cannot afford this on our own.

Every day donations stop, my fear grows even more. Without your support, we cannot survive, and my family’s future becomes more at risk.

Please, if you are able, donate today. Even the smallest amount can make a real difference for my wife and my children.

If you cannot donate, please share this post. A single share might reach someone who can help.

Please do not leave us to face this alone.

Make More Space (2004)

So, I have two very old tablets (circa 2014), one I will repurpose for being just an e-reader and maybe media player and the other one idk yet, but probably an e-reader with nothing else since it's very small.

Now, none of them support google or most pages properly. Is there any way I can download things? The way you in a computer terminal can do a sudo--- and get things from internet into your device. I'm guessing I'm gonna have to jailbreak it or smth but I don't mind, I just want to know how can I get the most out of that tablet, I don't expect it to work netflix. Just a browser that's half decent and maybe an app for something I could need (like one to calibrate the screen since it's not a function it has natively and it is a problem it's having).

For now I've thought of downloading an apk in a computer and then move it inside the tablet from there and then install it, but I'm sure there must be a better way.

They both run on Android ice cream sandwich, 🍨 4.04 the most recent, if there's any way to update it to 4.1 I'd be very grateful but I'm assuming that's something the hardware isn't able to? It's the version I need to work my favourite book reader in there.

I can't tell the android version of one of them because the touch screen doesn't work properly, i need to change it. Both of them have been factory reset.

I don't mind getting some light linux distribution and slapping into that bad boy if that means it'll work better, if a friend could install it to his switch so can I. Maybe making a partition or smth idc I just want to make these boys live to their full potential.

I will save the screen for future projects I still plan on building a cyberdeck this summer or when the time comes.

[proxmox-official]

Sort of! You have a few options actually!

You can install a 3rd party app store like fdroid or aurora.

Or you can download the apk files (think exe files but for android) that you can install by either using adb from your computer to your phone (wired or wireless, pick your poison) or using a USB cable!

Might be able to put postmarketos on them, it's a linux distro for old android devices

[firedeva]

Wait I just realized something, if I use that, would I be able to use a normal browser? I really want to use firefox. Is it supported there?

[minix-official]

Yeah, I believe so

Also Termux is a neat tool that gives you a TUI unix environment, including a package manager on android. It might not support such an old os tho

[transsexual-feminism]

Today I wanted to talk about Kyle Bassinga. Kyle was a 21 year old man from Georgia, whose family described him as "a kind, thoughtful, and smart young man who loved nature, music, and the people around him". Kyle Bassinga was killed on February 18th 2026, just ten days after his birthday. He was found hanging from a tree in a park.

The police ruled it a suicide. The family and local community demanded an investigation. The police refused to change their ruling.

I know this website it too white for this to really go anywhere, but an understanding of the present reality of white supremacy in the United States is just so important to transfeminism here. Lynchings never stopped, white supremacy never went away, you just stopped looking.

[storyweavingspider]

Juliana Nzita, A 16 year old Black girl, was just found hanging from a tree on church grounds in Charlotte, NC. Police have ruled it a suicide, despite hanging ourselves from trees being like the one communally agreed way Black folks ain’t killing ourselves.

Every time I go on Twitter or Facebook I learn about another recent lynching or missing Black person going mostly unreported. Half the reason I keep an active account on either of those sites is because they’re the only place I can find out about the violence happening to Black and Trans people reasonably quickly.

But I do need y’all to know that Black folks are currently, actively, being disappeared and lynched—if they even find our bodies. Black girls are and have been more often stolen into human trafficking, especially if they’re immigrants, but I’ve been seeing new news of probable lynchings every other day. Shit is worse than you think it is right now, tumblr just too white of a site to care lol

[thewinter22]

People argue "I've seen a case like this every few months and it's always been a suicide"

Been a suicide or been ruled a suicide?

[storyweavingspider]

Usually it’s ruled a suicide because cops or people affiliated with cops/prisons/legal system like lawyers or prosecutors did it then buried the body on land belonging to one of those organizations, such as I noted here: in this thread, where over 200 bodies were found buried behind a jail since 2016:

Non-Black and/or non-US based people often wonder why so many left-leaning Black folks in the US try to operate alternate justice systems within smaller community such as restorative justice, transformative justice, etc. when “all over the world, activists and their ancestors have fought for access to legal systems like this” and this is why.

Our legal system is explicitly designed to kill and enslave Black people. Our legal system from the cops to the lawyers and courts (one of the few times we got justice) to the prisons is legalized slavery where prisons are privatized and corporations are encouraged to maximize their profit by incentivizing every part of this system to hold as many people as possible.

Black folks can be proven innocent after years of time in prison or on death row and still killed by the state or dying in prison because the goal was never justice, it was to keep culling and controlling the Black population.

And outside of the system, we are lynched, raped, abused, trafficked, and robbed by those involved in our legal system, lives often irreparably destroyed, entire lives disappeared with no justice because that is the point, not a flaw. It’s almost always those in the legal system or their families and friends doing this, so that it can be ruled a suicide or a runaway or intracommunity issues and swept away.

So when we look to justice systems that do not throw away a life of any human, it is because we do not wish to see them enslaved, murdered, raped, abused, etc. at the hands of the state, because that is what WILL happen here in the US. We become abolitionists because we see that the alternative option is to allow others to become enslaved. Because it’s a minimum we can do when 95% of the time there will be no justice for us no matter what.
