Hey #Fediverse #FreeSoftware people, a friend made a great observation: due to #COVID this is a pretty good time to promote #FLOSS teleconferencing / remote work solutions.

So!

Anybody any suggestions for a free software #teleconferencing solution that could handle 10-15 people simultaneously? I had mixed experiences with meet.jit.si. I also know there's @nextcloud Talk app which kinda works, but never got around to testing it more extensively.

@garfiald I mostly agree, but I think there's more to it than that too. (For the record this is just me spitballing, I haven't read that much Marx yet)

So like, Marx is old, his work is translated (and from German at that), his work is complex and it heavily relies on literature of the time.

All of that is true, but in the case of our boy Karl he's got a lot bigger problems.

Firstly he writes in incredibly unclear language. He often randomly introduces terms and concepts that seem to largely overlap with others and then drop them, without any explanation.

He's very inconsistent and changed his mind a lot over the course of his life while also pretending he didn't and making fun of anyone who believed in what he himself used to believe in.

It doesn't help that three-quarters of everyone after him seems to insist on pretending he has a unified, coherent body of work.

His methodology is almost entirely incoherent- he simultaneously is a critical theorist, a dismisser of other forms of struggle against oppresion, a champion of the most rigid of positivism, a social constructivist and a process philosopher depending on what phenomenon he's talking about, all while claiming to have a grand, unified, clockwork-y theory filled with provable social laws by FACTS and LOGIC.

He generally suffers from "great philosopher-itis" imo, he's constantly like "here's something i made up in the bath, it is a universal and self-evident law of nature."

...ngl I just love to rant about Karl, but I would be interested in hearing what you think about this stuff. Do a lot of the other "great theorists" have the same problems in your eyes?

Things Covid has proven:

1. The job you were told couldn't be done remotely can be done remotely

2. Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didn't want them to.

3. Internet is a utility, not a luxury.

4. Universal healthcare is a necessity.

I really don't get the toilet paper hording. Food, makes sense. Hand sanitizer, fair enough, but toilet paper.... Just idk seems odd.

Though to be honest even food, medicine etc hording is frigging annoying too. If everyone just shopped normally, it would probably be better overall as supplies won't run out like they seem to be right now. *Shrug*

I need a recommendation for a light file manager to sort a directory with a crap load of images (50k).

Needs to be show thumbnail of the image, so I can bulk select the ones I want to delete without opening each image individually.

Nautilus just crashes while trying to generate thumbnails. Ideally something web based would be nice.

there's really just three kinds of designs on thingiverse
