They've cancelled one white boy summer 😢
  • Ok, genuinely, the first time I heard about anti-deutsche was at the age of 24 from a non-German podcast. I’ve been living here since I was two. And while Anti-Deutsch is simply a supposedly radical repackaging of the political mainstream, thus entirely congruent with dominant political thought, it is by no means relevant in German politics beyond trapping people susceptible to left wing thought in an asinine ideology. I would even argue that most people have never heard of them.

    CW:Nazi imagery "When Hexbear finds out Nazi stands for National Socialism" - Lemmy.World
  • There’s a German cartoon from 1931 called “Das Firmenschild” (literally translates to “the company sign”), which picks up on exactly the supposed socialist character of the Nazi being a ruse to dupe disaffected workers. This shit was obsolete in 1931.

  • Any good scientific sources on the history of the GDR?

    Most of the historic record of the GDR has been set by FRG historians running victory laps and is based on anecdotal evidence at best, mythology at worst. A lot of people also attempt to equate the GDR with the third Reich (which is insane to begin with, but that's what people are taught here).

    Preferred languages would be German and English. I could make Russian work, but not very well.

    Edit: I know about John Green.

    My prospective mother in law asked if we or anyone we know needs a used bog brush

    According to her it was only used a handful of times and rinsed thoroughly. Which begs the question WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!

    Need Some Total Noob Advice for Installing and Running Linux

    Alright, peeps, I want to build Linux on my new PC and need some help with that. On my old PC, I had kubuntu installed, which I liked (at least until downloading Skype fried most of my installers and rebuffed all attempts at deinstallation). When installing kubuntu, I had a lot of help (and by a lot, I mean my friend did like 90% of the work) but as I don't see them quite as often and I would like to be a little more self-sufficient this time around, I implore thee, Linux users of Hexbear. So here are some general questions:

    1. Which distribution is right for me?

    I have some experience with MINT and kubuntu. I really liked the KDE environment of kubuntu and generally preferred it to MINT. My friend uses archlinux, but they also warned me that arch requires a bit of expertise and isn't necessarily user firendly. It looked really cool, though. I am willing to learn, but I generally suck with computers. I will mostly use my PC for basic programming tasks and data analysis (mostly python using jupyter, but I would like to learn some basics in C++), similar work related tasks (using TeX-Studio, the pdf editing functions of programs like okular, Libre office on rare occasions etc.) and the occasional Minecraft session.

    1. Where can I find useful resources for learning about a given distribution?

    Keep in mind that I suck absolute shit at computers. I know how to access/use the basic functions of the terminal and how to superficially navigate the PC, but anything beyond that is magic to me.

    1. Y'all got any good wallpapers?

    A FALGSC themed wallpaper that doesn't burn your eyes out due to being perdominantly red would be cool.
