You really should stop reading such anti-Semitic websites.

I had to laugh at this one - Lenin-The Jewish Architect of European Genocide

Dont tell me what i should do!

Their is always two sides to every story and one doesn't get a complete picture/understanding by espousing ignorance.

So linking to sites that espouse anti-Semitism is ok by you then?
I'm out of here.

Trotsky was a mass murderer from what i have read, what it is the story behind this book?

I'll ignore the first part of your comment.

The book is basically about the 3 lives of men who loved dogs; the narrator, Trotsky and his assassin.

Once I finish it, I'm going to re-read The Case of Comrade Tulayev by Victor Serge.

Should give this one a read too, Pol Pot: Anatomy of a Nightmare by Philip Short
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/185675.Pol_Pot

Does anyone think that the Pol Pot regime was anything but a nightmare?

Try this one instead - Cambodia After the Khmer Rouge' by Evan Gottesman.

Gottesman shows the disgusting tactics of the US, which supported the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot when they fled to the Thai border and became known as the ‘resistance’. The UN voted to recognise the Pol Pot regime as the legitimate representative of Cambodia. Both the US and Britain voted in favour at a time when the true horrors of the killing fields were being exposed to the world.

Since I haven't seen your broken collar bone, why should I believe your story? smile

Answered above. Is there a reason why you asked?

To get all the logout options, you need policykit installed.
Seems like you need something else as well.

Hmm, I think I misunderstood what you wanted to do.

Hello:

Thanks for the info.

I may just have to dump Palemoon.
One of my favourites at The Guadian is the feature "Best photographs of the day", although I can see the photos, the captions are missing.

Could you check if it is a Flash thing or something else?

Thanks in advance.

Best,

A.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Got to comment on the Grauniad typo for those in the know ...

Reading it in the terminal with my nifty little cli ebook reader, 'epy'.

That would be an interesting read considering the current situation in Jewish occupied Palestine.

You should say Zionist occupied Palestine. Judaism (religion) is not Zionism (colonialism).

You haven't heard the last of me in that topic. People are not as naive or stupid as you think and that is why they have left. If the .efi's and grub configs you and ubuntu are using are open source it makes sense to have people check them and include them elsewhere if they have to.

More comedy gold from you.

1.  "that is why they have left." More vagueness from you. Who has left and what have they left?

2. "If the .efi's and grub configs you and ubuntu are using are open source it makes sense to have people check them and include them elsewhere if they have to." - and yet you ask Devuan to 'mix some of MX into devuan', the same stuff that antiX uses!

Can't we mix some of MX into devuan?

Why would you want to do that after this post of yours?

MX/AntiX is the work of a state-sponsored political extremist who is openly in the payroll of a state and at the same time pretends to be against the system. Can't be trusted for anything to do with security, privacy, cryptocurrencies, anti-surveillance. Might as well install ubuntu.

My guess is that it is down to MX having some systemd while Miyo/Devuan/antiX doesn't.
Or it is a kernel or firmware issue(?)
It would be interesting to find out how well connman works on MX (for manyroads).

Later: The only other thing I can think of is that Miyo/Devuan/antiX all use eudev rather than udev (MX Linux) and elogind.

#23 Re: Devuan Derivatives » dwm on Miyo (Devuan Ceres- rolling) » 2020-10-31 10:36:52

He removed connman and saw that network-manager is also faulty on his box.
So, connman did not bork his system, something else did.
