Sounds like a bad idea to arm them with depleted uranium and cluster bombs if that's the goal.

Just doing research over here. Also by "good", I mean quotable in an academic context.

Any good scientific sources on the history of the GDR? (hexbear.net)

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 guy, have you heard phrases like “100 Mrd. € Sondervermögen für die Bundeswehr”, “Wiedereinführung der Wehrpflicht” , shit like this? Or have you heard anything people like Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann have said in the past two years? Also, hasn’t the Russian army been struggling to overpower Ukraine for the past two years now? The poorest country in Europe with basically no functioning infrastructure to begin with that also is decidedly not a member of NATO? Wouldn’t the Russian Army have to cross the Baltic states and Poland to even reach Germany, triggering a response from all of NATO? Could it be they all the rhetoric about the Russkys expanding westwards is full of shit and nothing more but a fig leaf to sell austerity and a military buildup to the German populace?

The dems have finally learned that being the lesser evil is not a great motivating factor in elections. They have thusly decided that being the greater evil is the way forward!

One funny thing about this: the train in the thumbnail is a Velaro CN model, a model developed by Siemens in Germany.

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 (hexbear.net)

submitted 8 months ago by reaper_cushions@hexbear.net to c/linux@lemmy.ml

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:

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.

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.

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.

Two million people on an area half the size of Hamburg with no possibility of trading goods or services. Good luck building anything under such circumstances.

I don’t think the DPRK wants to give an opportunity to basically any country in the world to plant spies. Considering the US used visits of the Atomic Energy Commission to infiltrate the DPRK in the 90s, welcoming thousands and thousands of difficult to vet corporate reps sounds like an open invitation for infiltration.
