[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (3 children)

Can I ask a doubt?
Bourgeoisie, Petite Bourgeoisie, Proletarait & Lumpenproletariat

What would be simpler terms(or brief 3-5 word plain language explanations) for those?
Ultra rich wealth/land hoarders/exploiters, Their immediate managers, facilitators and upper mid-level wealth/land hoarders, Average workers & Average people who are dissatisfied?

Not a USA-ian, but weren't issues like racism and homophobia worse off then?

Are people less aware of the Munich agreement compared to the Molotov–Ribbentrop agreement? And also about the Bengal famine? In your opinion, what other events seem to be less known? in c/[email protected]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact

Recently got banned in a community when I brought it up, when they talked about the latter.

I'm Indian, didn't really have to read too much(on such treaties and other stuff. We do learn about the dates, major groups involved and our own people) about WW1 and WW2 before getting on the internet forums.
But how is it in Western countries?

Also, is the Bengal famine of 1943 taught?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943
I only got the gravity of the situation after reading about it and seeing pictures on the net.

Are there any other events that should be more known by others, in your opinion?

I hope this is not too political. If it is, do forgive me, I'll delete this.

Aah yes - Look, those authoritarian socialists are fighting monarchist/imperialist/colonial forces for the freedom of their land, redistributing land to the poor and giving voting rights to women etc. Let's coup them and install druglords or despots there.?

Are you on the other side trying to sell us on Freedom and Democracy™(oil lover edition)?

Dual booting WinOs 11 and OpenSuse Leap 15

I only use OpenSuse rarely tho.

Need Win11 to run stuff like Ansys for college.

What are your favorite leftist news sources? in c/[email protected]

The Hindu is sort-of centre-left

In Malayalam(main language of Kerala), there's:
https://www.deshabhimani.com/
http://www.janayugomonline.com/

They were founded by leftist parties, so there might be not enough critcism of the left. But exposure to regular media will balance that more than enough.

I think there are similar ones in other languages such as Theekkathir(Tamil Nadu), People's democracy etc.

Was probably not aware of it b

Though, as a non-native speaker of English I was first introduced to the word through Edubuntu.
So, GIMP = GNU Image Manipulation Program for me before I learnt any other meaning

Apps that I know:

  • For images - Pocketpaint, Freepaint
    Fossify Gallery has a basic editor with draw, crop and filters. Tux paint is also nice to draw stuff.
  • For video
    • Video transcoder allows basic cutting of audio n video.
    • Saw an app called Bunny media editor, that allowed basic image and video cropping and cutting.
    • I've also heard that some people use Termux for it

Are there other apps like these?
Which all apps do you use to edit images/videos and make memes etc?

Anyone know any FOSS measuring apps? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

One that use the camera to give an approximate distance between two objects?

Tape measure has some features, but needs a known reference object in the same plane. And most of the predefined objects are not common where I live. It does have an option to define custom reference objects.

But are there any apps that do not need a reference object?

Thanks in advance.

  • I have recently started using RSS feeds to get news and other information. It is quite time-saving.
  • Recently found out that word could open pdfs for edits. Used to upload pdfs to websites to get it converted into some editable format. I think Libreoffice can do the same.
  • Got that spinning type of mop and mopping has become a bit easier.

People who have studied and have applied Dialectical Materialism to resolve problems in your life/locality, could you share your experiences? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I've recently read about it, and it seems straight forward.
Materialism makes sense and things getting resolved through the resolution/interaction of contradiction/opposing forces too.

Though curious on how it is used as a tool to analyse and resolve problems.
Especially in the lives/localities of those who study/use it.

I don't much about philosophy, so forgive if I made any wrong assumptions or if this question is weird.
Please do recommend any online sources that may help me there, in that case.

Also, would it be better to ask this in another sub, as this question maybe political?
