GNOME Is Malicious

So says the MPV (the media player) man page.

I agree. I hate GNOME 3. They also ignore XDG (freedesktop.org) standards.

GNOME is one of the worst offenders, and ignores even the now widely supported idle-inhibit protocol. (This is either due to a combination of malice and incompetence, but since implementing this protocol would only take a few lines of code, it is most likely the former. You will also notice how GNOME advocates react offended whenever their sabotage is pointed out, which indicates either hypocrisy, or even worse ignorance.)\
\
Such incompatible desktop environments (i.e. which ignore standards) typically require using a DBus API. This is ridiculous in several ways. The immediate practical problem is that it would require adding a quite unwieldy dependency for a DBus library, somehow integrating its mainloop into mpv, and other generally unacceptable things.\
\
However, since mpv does not officially support GNOME, this is not much of a problem. If you are one of those miserable users who want to use mpv on GNOME, report a bug on the GNOME issue tracker: https://gitlab.gnome.org/groups/GNOME/-/issues

How They Secretly Control Us

#agnotology #silentweapons #theyareusingyou

TABLE OF STRATEGIES

Do this: To get this:
Keep the public ignorant | Less public organization
Maintain access to control points for feedback | Required reaction to outputs (prices, sales)
Create preoccupation | Lower defenses
Attack the family unit | Control of the education of the young
Give less cash and more credit and doles | More self-indulgence and more data
Attack the privacy of the church | Destroy faith in this sort of government
Social conformity | Computer programming simplicity
Minimize the tax protest | Maximum economic data, minimum enforcement problems
Stabilize the consent | Simplicity coefficients
Tighten control of variables | Simpler computer input data -- greater predictability
Establish boundary conditions | Problem simplicity / solutions of differential and difference equations
Proper timing | Less data shift and blurring
Maximize control | Minimum resistance to control
Collapse of currency | Destroy the faith of the American people in each other.

En France, seule 1 personne sur 1000 sait répondre correctement à des questions sur l'immigration, mais 62% trouvent qu'il y a trop d' #immigrés.
Comme toujours, l' #ignorance, le lit de la #Haine...

IL N'Y AUCUN PROBLÈME D' #IMMIGRATION EN #FRANCE.

Suffit d'être honnête, et de suivre cette vidéo, graphiques et données à l'appui.

Bon évidemment, cela n'empêchera pas les #comploplos #fachos de service, de faire une généralité d'un fait divers grave, mais après, c'est aussi en raisonnant de cette façon là, que l'on devient #raciste, donc ils sont constants.

more the one month later, someone answered my question, how can #israel crush #hamas without #war in #gaza, finally i get the answer and itz simple

By making them irrelevant

this is the answer! this is that #white #christian #europe #ignorance, meanwhile israel is still under #attack by hundreds of rockets targeting civilians, hundreds of civilian hostages, the gaza civilians abused as #humanShields, after ca 1200 people got raped&tortured to death, israel should make hamas "irrelevant", not sure if thats just plain stupid, ignorant or antisemitic, i wonder what these guy might advice the palestinian opponents of hamas, "dont scream to loud, when they torture you!"?

(though i will add, the point he makes, near the end, about the borders and capacity to support, is in error... in the broader contexts of imperial abuses contributing to that (more walls and closed border not a solution), and eliminate the suppression of emancipatory technologies, then there's more than enough headroom to support the world many times over, and no manufactured scarcity (nor isolationism) to infect our minds manipulating us into fearful dependent obedience to our abuser. ... but other than that 1 point... this is jam packed with stuff worth your time to #consider, no matter your #politicalphilosophy ).

Cartoon about Netanyahu, cartoonist Steve Bell fired by the Guardian after 40 years

Steve Bell, the Guardian’s longtime cartoonist, was “kicked out” from the British newspaper, according to the cartoonist himself, due to a cartoon on Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu was newspaper believed it to be anti-Semitic.

Speaking about the story, the cartoonist wrote that “it has become almost impossible to draw anything in the Guardian that concerns Israel without being accused of anti-Semitism

"The image itself was inspired by the late, great David Levine's cartoon of President Lyndon Johnson (LBJ) showing off his operation scar, which Levine draws in the shape of a map of Vietnam."

A quotation from Colton, C. C.

It is almost as difficult to make a man unlearn his errors as his knowledge. Mal-information is more hopeless than non-information; for error is always more busy than ignorance. Ignorance is a blank sheet, on which we may write; but error is a scribbled one, on which we must first erase. Ignorance is contented to stand still with her back to the truth; but error is more presumptuous, and proceeds in the same direction. Ignorance has no light, but error follows a false one. The consequence is, that error, when she retraces her footsteps, has further to go, before she can arrive at the truth, than ignorance.

Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 1, § 1 (1820)

Carl Sagan

Carl Sagan and the dangers of our ignorance

“We’ve arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements—transportation, communications, and all other industries; agriculture, medicine, education, entertainment, protecting the environment; and even the key democratic institution of voting—profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.”
-- "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" by Carl Sagan

Or for today's generation:
"It's funny, isn't it? We got all of this technology, we've got all of these clever machines, but if anyone actually asks, like, 'how does any of it work?' at all, often the best reply you'll generally get is: 'Uh, yeah, well, probably someone built a box, and a wizard spluffed in it.' And now it's magic, and that's how technology works."
-- "10,000 More Years of the Scientific Method" by exurb1a
