Okay. How many linux users are here? And of linux users, how many are currently wearing thigh high socks?
Does Red Star OS on a vintage setup counts?
oh hell ya. do you actually use it for anything? I have it on a VM but I haven’t really used it
We need to get hold of red star os 4, afaik v3 is really old now
I concur comrade, but it’s still nice despite its obsolescence and limited functionality.
Ya idk how easy that is gonna be. Somebody on here ought to know though
Well we got hold of red star os 3 somehow, so i’m sure its possible
Well afaik it changed in 2017(I think?) after that stupid Amerikkan died over there, their gov freaked out and part of the many sanctions that followed resulted in them not being able to release software anymore. Before that, DPRK actually had a website you could download it from
Oh i had no idea about that bit, thats really sad
Not really for anything, I was about to install Nova on an old IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad but the Juche-Linux experience made me change my decision.
Parabola GNU/Linux-libre user here… No socks, but I’m naked, though
based
Parabola is very based, now i dont use an nvidia gpu i might switch, currently on vanilla arch
Everyone is awesome. Ubuntu 20.04 on my laptop, desktop, and server. Mac OS 9 on my iMac G3. Thigh high socks at all times lol
That sounds nice. Though I would not deny the aesthetic of the early iMacs and iBooks I think the late 90s Powerbooks were the Apple devices closer to be “consumer-friendly” due to the ease of replacing and upgrading parts and the range of options to customize, something few companies nowadays would offer. Curious how that ideology started to die the moment Steve Jobs returned as CEO.
Ya the early iMac was beautiful. I got it as a very young kid in 1999 lol. Wasn’t Steve Jobs gravely obsessed with making their products impossible to repair?
Why yes. Jobs knew that the prior executives which promoted machines easy to upgrade/repair to ensure customer loyalty were doing “bad” business. Nowadays the Jobs approach is one of the cornerstones of modern Apple.
Void Linux o7 no socks but a straw hat
Arch user here.
I wear ankle highs, but make sure they never match.
Linux user here! I mostly wear flip flops so I don’t exactly use socks. -Debian for those who are wondering.
Debian 11 user here, not wearing any socks since theyre bourgeois.

Artix user, no thigh-highs yet :(
I dual boot but most of the times i’m rocking Manjaro, unfortunately no programmer socks.
I wear bedroom shoes and socks, but not thigh highs. Does that count? (manjaro btw)

I use WSL2 with fedora. Does that count? Work is Linux only.
I’m on Windows. Which is more like wearing Groucho Marx glasses than cool programming socks
I run Fedora and I got some thigh high socks lying around in my room somewhere
I use Linux, its pretty good but too liberal.
Here, but with an Ubuntu-based distro I am unfortunately not qualified to wear programming socks.
You are qualified, ubuntu is linux
Running Fedora linux. No thigh highs however
Fedora and Manjaro user! No thigh high socks unfortunately :(
Linux user here, no thigh high socks sadly

Doing my part!
Also, it’s funny how Americans said that they were going to push Biden to the left and are now within a year coming up for reasons why supporting a Nazi movement is not necessarily bad.
lol. It still blows me away how quickly the Americans forgot about the immigrant detention facilities. A 1 second google search shows there are currently over 20k people locked up right now which is up substantially from when the old pres left office. Push him left indeed. With rising inflation and commodity prices, which will most likely escalate now due to the sanctions, and be felt by average Americans, I think there will be some serious instability politically and economically on the horizon although Americans never cease to amaze me with their laziness so maybe they’ll all just stay home and post about it
the west ended its future with the sanctions on russia. imho they engaged in a illegal war, but the west really shot them selfs in the foot now that russia, china, etc are trading in roubles and yuan instead of the dollar.
It’s even funnier that the Germans tried to warn them, but then also shot themselves in the foot, so they’d appease the Yanks.
yeah germany and france were on the correct path until germany decided to pump 100 billion into the bundeswehr
It really is scary how the narrative here has shifted practically overnight. Two months ago, neither our
NeoconGreen Party, nor the rest of the political establishment would have dared to openly support something like this.
But that was two months ago. If you dare speak against the Bundeswehr or NATO on German social media these days, you can count yourself lucky if “Russian bot” is the worst thing they call you.
We can see consent being manufactured in real-time, and nobody even seems to notice. The very same smug Internet Germans who, only two months ago, were still reminding everyone of their superiority to brainwashed Americans are now turning into obedient little yes-men for the military-industrial complex themselves.The ease at which the political establishment manipulated large parts of the public to root for warmongering and militarism genuinely scares me. People are already calling for everyone who doesn’t stand with “national security” above all else to be silenced. How long will it take until we slip into open fascism once more?
Europeans be like: hahaha look at those fat ugly brainwashed rascist americans! They really believe that everything their goverment tells them its the absolute truth! We would never do something stupid like that!
10 days later: FUCK RUSSIA FUCK CHINA SLAVA UKRAINE I AM GOING TO TRASH RUSSIAN SHOPS IN THE STREETS AND START DOING TOTALLY NOT FASCIST STUFF BECAUSE THE GOVERMENT TOLD ME ITS OK TO HATE RUSSIANS IF YOU ARE DOING IT FOR UKRAINE, I LOVE DEMOCRACY AND I LOVE FREE SPEECH!!!
i am glad that we austrians have to be neutral by law.
I am glad that we can still count on the Russians to fight fascism when the need arises. Neutrality just means siding with the dominant power more often than not.
probably but being trans i reallllllly dont want to be drafted yknow
a bit selfish i know
No, that’s understandable. I do not want to be drafted either, especially not to fight for German “national interest”.
today i got my hands on Fanon’s Wretched of the Earth, very excited to finally read it
Hello comrades, hope you’re having a great day
Thanks. you too!
wow first of the first uwu
UwU
UwU
so it begins
A fascist worked out today, did you?
Nope :(
lol same
I did actually :)
I am going to work out in a few hours. Because we´re communist, one man’s gain is everyone’s gain, right?
Tomorrow is leg day 🦵

Wake up. Capitalism still alive. Be furious.
Oh and the app I’m using, Lemmur, doesn’t seem to work. Is there a solution for this?
What isn’t working for you on Lemmur? I haven’t been able to login on it so I’ve been using Jerboa but Lemmur looks better imo, it works fine til I try to log
Yes that´s the problem. I can see everything just fine but I can´t log in and comment.
getting the same on my end too.
Literally woke up today to see one of my favorite authors say that their 9-6 job is draining them completely and they won’t be able to update their story anymore.
Try jerboa instead
Its gonna be weird when I start accidentally writing the Juche date instead of the boring one
Just made the mistake of reading comments under an Afghan famine post on reddit. In no way do I support the Taliban but according to Reddit just because they are the ruling party in Afghanistan sanctions and resulting famine are justified I guess.
You can have legitimate criticism of all parties involved (US/Western World, Taliban etc.) and still not want people to die of hunger. Even saw a person saying this is what you get when you let the Taliban take over in a day lmao. Everything is just a movie for them it seems.
Like, I genuinely don’t understand how something like communism can be seen as bad (it’s because of propaganda, I know). Even when I try to explain that I’m a communist to friends and family and whatever, people get anxious and stuff. And then claim it doesn’t work etc. And I think: even if this doesn’t work, would trying to bring a system that puts the 99,99% of people into power be a bad idea? It can’t be worse than having a select few make decisions for us which have proven to fuck us over numerous times.
It’s really repulsive to see indeed. Like, the Afghan people didn’t choose to have the Taliban take them over. In fact there’s still resistance groups fighting an ongoing war against the Taliban. But Amerikkkans being Amerikkkans only see these innocent people as NPCs in a game, not as actual humans.
hi gang

Caught my uncle spreading fake news claiming a video about a building getting bombed to the ground was from ukraine. It was from Gaza.
