I got a nice OLED TV as my main monitor. I only connect it to the internet to run updates if I think it is necessary (there is also usually a USB option for updates too), then disconnect once that’s done. Works great for sailing the seas and streaming whatever. It’s unfortunate I paid for stuff that I won’t use in the TV, but that’s often the case with many products these days.


I’ve got a feeling this is specifically related to DRM in the HDMI spec that prevents video capture of encrypted content. Maybe I’m remembering something vaguely from about a decade ago about HDMI content encryption that is no longer relevant, but my hazy memory is that this was a core element of the HDMI spec that media corps wanted to prevent digital copying. Not that it really means anything at this point, the seas are full of high quality rips regardless, but maybe there is some dubious legal value in preventing an open source driver?
Got a text from someone that has been interacting with some folks from Taiwan on an international trip. This was how they described the situation.
They are in their 60’s and grew up in Taiwan and own an apartment in Taipei, returning often, both speak Mandarin. They said the Taiwanese do NOT fear China, that is the opinion of the US government.

Any info on the Xi photo? Because it is amazing.
This would be like a photo of Netanyahu sitting down to a meal with Gazans if you actually believe all the ‘China is doing a genocide’ propaganda.
cultural Marxism, antifa, communist dictator, wokeism
capital is very inventive when it needs scapegoats

those wetlands are such a waste of space, why do we even care about them?
they can stop tanks in their tracks
oh if it is war related then here


anyone have recommendations for good libre events alternatives?
more ethnically diverse

In a 2012 ruling by the Supreme Court on the issue, some of the judges on the panel discussed demography, and were inclined to accept that demography is a legitimate consideration in devising family reunification policies that violate the right to family life.
Those in favor of the law say the law not only limits the possibility of the entrance of terrorists into Israel, but, as Ze’ev Boim asserts, allows Israel “to maintain the state’s democratic nature, but also its Jewish nature” (i. e., its Jewish demographic majority).
I use Cinnamon. Things might be different with others, but the same concept should apply.
I have OLED tv as my main monitor, and adjusting the settings of the screen allowed me to achieve this using a black image at full screen. The screen looks like it is turned off. I even tested with a dark room. No light comes from the screen. Once you get that set, then using black in UI colors should achieve this if I understand what you are asking.
I’m not familiar with HDR capablity within Linux though, and many newer OLED screens have some of these capabilities. That could be another element to consider depending on your screen capabilities and settings available.
granitic opinion
all my opponents have very solid understanding of history and political economy, and that’s so unfair to me full of propaganda and vibes

Capitalism as we intend it today

why are people pointing out the material reality of capitalism destroying the planet, don’t they know that is just the nature of things? Only idiots use memes to blame systems of oppression for the suffering of billions.


No one is currently being starved to death (or otherwise being deprived of being alive) because of capitalism


is you
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it
Very on brand strategy for the Zionists and their allies.


Really gives the game away when all the 
endlessly supports genocide in Palestine and also condemns the genocide of the Uighurs in China. This is just the cherry on top.
