The IT is the ultimate weapon
it exploited the fragile priviledged man and weaponized him against the rest of the humanity
The Russina/Chinese/Saudi propaganda didn't started this
They just reinforced it
This all started with Commodore, moved on to Apple, M$ and then GAFA
The IT as a whole is the worst thing happened to humanity in a very long time

many white cishet folks in the FLOSS sphere live the claim of software freedom (or freedom in general) as a tool for them to emancipate themselves from the small dick syndrome they suffer from
So they wanto to use the tech to enslave the tech illiterate, because that's how they feel realized
That's why the free software movement brought us to the GAFA
So Gnome rejecting their precious contributions because they have a vision of the computer for the grandmas sends them bonkers
ok, let's remove whatsapp
but Telegram is introducing ads too
what can I suggest to my "normie" friends ?
#mysql Workbench is not supposed to run on Ubuntu ?
Really ?
What GUI tool can I use for some administrative tasks ?
in a few days I'll give a class about relational databases
what database can I use as a template ?
On Wikipedia there's a page about normalization and it shows a database about books
My pupils will be 20somethings. Are books a good subject for them ?
Do milenials still know about books ?
I think that this open letter (for opening the data about corporations) is not being shared enough

the more I observe free software efforts, the more I get convinced that they desperately need some marketing
I see Lyx, LaTeXila, Kyle, TeXstudio, TeXmaker, Gummi
which LaTex editor do peopl elike and why ?
when evaluating an expression in Emacs, I'd love the returned value to be shown in the same buffer, rather than in the minibuffer
can this be easily done ?
I have this org mode file containing some literary programming
Meaning, some illustrations, some explaining, some arguments made in plain English
AND some code
How do I create a file that contains the code only ?
There's a demo (it's Eris by @pukkamustard ) made in org mode with Babel, the code is Guile scheme
I have some Guile packages installed in my $HOME/opt and I edited $HOME/.bashrc adding that location the proper env vars for Guile to find what's installed there
But the Guile run by org mode doesn't find them
Emacs is installed with apt, not Flatpak
What should I do ?
I don't understand of there's an easy way to have tree-il structures pretty printed in teh REPL
I reinstalled #Ubuntu but I made a mistake
It created a new home folder and It doesn't mount the partition where the old home folder Is (with all my life in it)
How do I amend it in order to make It mount the old home folder ?
I am disappointed that under wayland remapping mouse buttons is not supported by Mutter and the available solutions are extremely convoluted
I am suffering from epicondilis and using the thumbs for me is not just a whim
I really don't understand he first thing about hardware
I don't understand why Apple M1 is important (is it ?)
I don't understand why the System76 AMD laptop is important (is it ?)
I understand a bit more the RISC-V effort
But I don't understand why the arm things are meaningful
I want the Lisp Machine back !! 😤
the more I hang with young men dealing with IT in a way or another, the more I see the urgency to give these men an humanistic education
About meanings and power relationships
