the first contact i had with linux back in mid-90’s brazil was with my isp’s login terminal, which displayed some arcane text reading “red hat linux version x.x”. after that, during my father’s final years working in bank of brazil he had to deal with cobra’s homemade distro in his workstations (cobra had developed an unix in the 80s that run on m68k’s, so no surprises here). it was an absolutely esoteric system to those who only knew the dos/windows 3.11 duo, since w95 only arrived in our country in numbers only in 96. the thing really caught on during the early to mid-2000’s, with faster and cheaper adsl connections, and with them, abundant knowledge and downloads available to any script kid.

i’d have problems with that pic even if it was some sort of stalag kink.

with dutch assistance, i’d say.

me and most of the developing world have mixed feelings about the war in ukraine. at the very least it’s white people’s problems. at the limit we’re pissed by the west trying to rally us behind a country that stopped black people from leaving when the invasion came and that is receiving many times the amount of help that many of us have received during catastrophes, against a country that, wicked as it can be, never really messed with our internal affairs.

that being said, this is war and russia cannot complain that it didn’t knew what was coming. deal with it (spoiler: they will).

they remained on dell, but have willingly forgone the oportunity of progressing in their career within the company in order to remain at home. some are even looking for other jobs in organizations that don’t whip them back into offices.

if they d!e upon reentry, will someone pick up them cursing boeing on amateur radio?

you guys had your biggest un mission in congo, right?

good riddance, black banana asylum. you won’t be missed.

greetings. right now i’m not active in any organization, though still affiliated with psol in brazil. i consider myself a thompson-mandel trotskyite, though with not so hidden sympathies towards titoism and rojavan anarchism.
