It is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness.

Karl Marx (Marx Selected Works, Vol. I, p. 269.)

  • I installed a Gnome extension called Blur my shell which lets you either blur or make certain parts transparent, so the usual bar on the top looks like that. When I put a window near it tho it gets solid again, it’s just so you can have look at the wallpaper with as less stuff as possible.


  • what is a desktop thread in the internet

    A “desktop thread” typically refers to a specific type of online discussion thread where users share screenshots of their computer desktops. These threads are often found on forums, social media platforms, or subreddits dedicated to customization, technology, or personal setups. Participants typically showcase their desktop backgrounds, icons, widgets, and overall layout, often discussing the software, themes, or configurations they use. It’s a way for users to share ideas, inspire others, and receive feedback on their desktop setups.

















  • I’ve read Aeschylus, some Plato, not that much. But I’d say it depends on what you want to learn from that. If you ask me, I’d be interested in the Greeks by how were they later interpreted by authors like Kant, Spinoza, Hegel, etc. So I’d say go for Hesiod, Homer, since both of them provide the background for all the Greeks after them and then go for the Milesians, and the other presocratics (which includes Heraclitus) and then Plato and so on. I wouldnt bother with the Romans but maybe thats just ignorance from my part. I dont know if my naswer was good enough but let me know, i am currently to start to read some other greek text so maybe we could help each other!










  • “Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating,murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia—the fruits of his genius for statesmanship—and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević. While Henry continues to nibble nori rolls and remaki  at A-list parties, Cambodia, the neutral nation he secretly and illegally bombed, invaded, undermined, and then threw to the dogs, is still trying to raise itself up on its one remaining leg.”
