Personally I very much enjoy Orwells books, Down and Out in Paris and London has to be one of my favorite book of his just for the issues the book tackles and tackles well. Orwell goes headlong in to class structures depicting his day to day of his life as a tramp, the simple yet devastating way he got into that situation and the all in-composing despair of financial ruin.

Also the communist that drinks all the milk to spite his boss had me hard.

Then Orwell later writes Animal Farm...

with the general election around the corner it is imperative that we mobilize, the community is to be as a resource for finding leftist parties to support, candidates to vote and leftist news without the capitalist spin.

rules are lax and discussion is invited.

Solidarity comrades.

Hi I was looking though defend.xyz at eviltoast, notices they had few defeds but Lemmy.ml, feddit.de and UK are in the small list, just wondering why?

Ive got myself a DTU-1031X which is a graphical drawing tablet, it uses usb-B for input output, display. In my case I'm able to draw but beyond that there isn't an output to the tablet, I have install displaylink, and wacoms drivers. Any advice?

Focus on feature like line smoothing, palm rejection. Good amount of brushes extra points for custom brushes.

Something ive been wanting for a while is a highly portable linux device like a phone or small tablet but obviously running fully flegde linux.

I need a device that is x86, 5g/4g networking water resistant if possible, sliding kB would be great but thats a bye gone era.

I don't want to use android based systems as when they have linux support it is via a spersific distribution made for that device. Virtualization is also not for me.

Instagram is one place I can't avoid as most artists post there and I'm always in need of inspiration

So been moving around a lot with browsers, waterfox, librewolf and very recently degoogle chromium, figured id look at Firefox and holy theres less than half the option in setting then there were afew years back but I gotta say the biggest sin is that adding custom search engine is obfuscated, and the chooses of engines are google, bing, duckduckgo and fucking Amazon! Wtf is that about? But anyway all these search engines are pretty awful including duckduckgo but beyond that the browser scene is a joke, mullvad are about the only company I feel compatible with using now

Edit: instead of saying how easy it is to add custom search engines, I'd like to know why the "add search engine" feature in settings is gone?

So I've got cyberpunk phantom liberty 2.0 but to update to 2.1 heroic game launcher wants me to download the hole game again, gog galaxy through wine is not an option so I'm looking at xdelta3 and innoextract to manually patch game files. But I'm hitting a break wall and seems to fail with every attempt using xdelta3

Paste code to text file .sh extension and run script in the directory where jc141 are present, also install dialog

games_dir="$PWD/"

# check if the games directory exists
if [ ! -d "$games_dir" ]; then
echo "error: The 'games' directory does not exist."
exit 1
fi

# initialize the dialog menu options
menu_options=()

# loop through subdirectories in the games directory
for game_dir in "$games_dir"/*/; do

# extract the parent directory name as the game name
game_name=$(basename "$game_dir")
        
# check if any of the specified .sh files exist

# add the game name to the menu options
menu_options+=("$game_name" "Run $game_name")
fi
fi
done

# use dialog to display the menu
choice=$(dialog --title "Select a game:" --menu "Games:" 30 30 15 "${menu_options[@]}" 2>&1 >/dev/tty)
