Reminder

*Marx and Engels, The German Ideology

The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it.

Been using #KDE Okular as my default pdf reader on #Linux, and just worked out that there's a setting that allows you to specify dark and light colours, meaning you can read pdfs in #DarkMode. No more having to put sunglasses on to read manuals! And you can assign it to a keyboard shortcut, so I've set it to the same as #DarkReader in #LibreWolf.
I love it when Linux Just Works.

[My across the hall neighbor and 'adopted' grandkid Kolya is having top surgery in a week if you'd like to help them. They are taking 5 weeks off work.]

I'm going to be okay, but if you'd like to support me financially during this time, it would mean a lot and genuinely help lighten the load. You can send anything (only if you’re able!) via:
