Joan Didion writes, in On Keeping a Notebook, that the purpose of keeping a notebook, or a journal for that matter, isn’t because you simply want keep a personal record of things; but because you want to remember the person you were at that specific moment. we write things down on our notebook/journal/diary (whichever one of those you keep) because we want to remember. we want to remember what specific people meant to us on a particular day or hour. or minute. we want to remember our first impression of something (or of doing that something), possibly of someone, too. sometimes we think we’ll “always remember” important events: “I’ll make a mental note of that” etc etc. but in reality everything is fleeting. so Didion says write it down. keep a journal. that way, people, places, and certain events will always be there in case you ever want to come back to them sometime in the future. but also so that they don’t ever haunt you.

Among today’s cunning practitioners, the lie has long since lost its honest function, of concealing something real. Noone believes anyone, everyone is in the loop. Lies are told only when someone wants others to know they aren’t important, that the former does not need the latter, and does not care what they think. Today the lie, once a liberal means of communication, has become one of the techniques of brazenness, with whose help every single person spreads the iciness, in whose shelter they thrive.

ok you can't even delete a folder in Linux without discussing it with the command line this thing may be dumb as hell

[henrythenerd]

I'm so confused what do you mean

[it-ken]

[pk-ultra]

Well that's something from /usr/lib, you probably don't have any permissions to modify that unless you break out the admin privileges. That'll be the case in GUI or terminal regardless, but I'll admit, it's more easy and consistent to do across distros if you use the terminal and sudo to admin it up.

[it-ken]

"admin up" what? The directory?

[pk-ultra]

Oh, I just mean acting as an admin temporarily. You're generally not supposed to use sudo/admin for everything in daily life all the time. So, while acting as admin, you're going to be able to delete directories that mere mortal users don't have permission to edit or delete. It's possible to act as admin in the GUI, but the way to do it depends on your desktop environment, which is why it's easier to give instructions for terminal.

(all that being said, manually deleting system files is the kind of thing you shouldn't do unless you're sure. Stuff in /usr/lib/ is usually software installed with your package manager, so depending on what you're trying to do, it might be more correct to uninstall the "apg" package.)

[it-ken]

My user is apparently the admin already so that's confusing but thank you.

And yeah the folder I wanted gone was something I downloaded with "sudo apt install 7zip" instead of installing 7-zip normally

[pk-ultra]

Ah yeah, you'll want to get rid of it by "sudo apt remove 7zip".

Usually installing/removing with apt is correct btw! Like that's the normal way to install. But I get needing to make exceptions if you really need to install the latest version or something, since distro packages can lag behind (Debian is pretty famous for this).

being on my period makes me feel like a wounded forest animal trying to find a warm dark small place to die

[dopaminerjic]

just blocked a bunch of terfs, and as op may well be aware already, they’ve been rbing the unedited version of this post. on the brighter side, you can now hover over several radfem blogs and see some variation of this

[byjove]

Yeppp. That’s why I had to add the banner. Blocking them is like whack-a-mole.

[byjove]

…..ok

[solitairians]

listening to an album you used to love but overplayed for yourself after a really long time after the overplayedness has worn off and it sounds like it's supposed to again is the closest to being in heaven you can get during your mortal life i think

“The widely circulated timeline created by @Zerflin does a great job in showing how recently slavery & segregation occurred & that they lasted longer than the modern era. 

“I'd like to offer this timeline as another way of viewing the same period of history to show the constancy of both Black resistance in US & efforts of the white power structure to maintain racial caste since 1619.”

This second picture is MUCH more accurate!

[queen-mihai]

I had the exact same experience the second time I looked at this picture as the first time. I was looking like "what is this green line? Like suddenly everything is OK? It's not. Racists are still trying to push us back to 1619. Nothing has been fixed. We still need to fight. Hard!

RAF still carrying out surveillance flights over Gaza for Israel

The UK is handing over intelligence from British spy planes to ‘help find the remaining hostages’ in the Palestinian territory, government s

Britain sent over 500 spy flights to Gaza

Exclusive: New study reveals the scale of British intelligence gathering above Gaza, raising fears of complicity in Israeli war crimes

I can confirm the fact that the uk sent spy flights to Gaza, but there appears to be only one source for the flight path image, and the other sources don't cite or confirm them so i cannot speak to the credibility of that specific image.
