Exeter: BMA Junior Doctors Strike

Today on Barrack Road, Exeter, medical professionals lined up out side Exeter hospital to demand better. Our NHS is failing. Nurses, NHS carers, and doctors have been vocal, shining a light on our failing NHS, which has been left to rot by the likes of Tories and Labour government.

As socialists, we also demand better. We call for a full restructuring of our NHS, offering incentives such as bursaries, retention schemes for junior doctors and nurses, adequate equipment, and hospital beds to meet demand. We also demand the removal of the corporate rot that has parasitically sucked our taxes out.

We stood in solidarity with our junior doctors today, we stood with our NHS carers last week, and we will continue to stand in solidarity demanding meaningful change for all workers.

Plymouth Pride and the Insidious Corporate White-Washing

Another beautiful venture to Plymouth with Plymouth branch Socialist Party formally militant.

Today I had got together with comrades, about 8 to show solidarity at the Pride March.

It was a truly amazing turn out and Plymouth branch were well organised through-out. moving with the march.

We mostly went to show solidarity but also to speak with peraders about the strange sponsor's Pride had. One of which is a military contractor Babcock who have been vying for Israeli contracts. Another BT who are planning to lay off 55,000 workers over the next 6 years as it pivots to ai automation. A somewhat unholy partnership. Most pride goers find irritation in this like myself, its purely monitory influence to elevate their ethical legitimacy whist being corpates bastards.

Climate change solutions must resist colonialism
  • How can we make renewable energy profitable? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

  • Plymouth Branch: NHS and G4S Strike Action.

    My second venture to Plymouth.

    More door knocking and speaking with Plymouth's working class in the lead up to the general election. We had a few people say they will vote tusc: the party we support. we also heard a few say reform: A bosses party dressed up to entice the workers.

    As revolutionaries, we must educate our brothers and sisters, read the parties' manifestos, Labour, Tory, and Reform. In doing so, we can show people the true nature and present a socialist alternative.

    Later in the evening, the Plymouth branch held an open meeting in the industrial corner of the city, LeadWorks. A full room listened to an older lady and long-time member who read from papers to the Plymouth branch. She shared concise facts about our NHS spanning from its birth to the caucus and how it came to be such. The atmosphere shifted from informal to electric as members raised their hands, eager to speak next. Each one slammed the NHS harder about how the capitalists have sold it bit by bit from under our feet or how the NHS has failed us. Emotions were rightfully high, almost as if mourning a loss and a deep betrayal.

    Today I woke up at another comrades house who'd kindly put me up in their spare room, we quickly made our way to a picket line outside Plymouth's hospital. NHS worker about a hundred stood clutching signs along a busy T-junction. Horns beeping and chants echoed, the energy was high and outlook promising.

    I was also able to visit the g4s strike outside the job centre. A slightly different energy from that of the NHS care workers, g4s is owned by an american company and it is doubtful that they will yield.

    We are currently seeing the beginnings of class consciousness awakening from its slumber and now we must push with determination, be active members as funding isn't enough, We have to be revolutionaries!

    Solidarity,

    squid.

    YSK: lemmy.ml is managed by tankies, and lead lemmy developer is a tankie
  • Currently we are witnessing a capitalist genocide in Gaza were children are starving to death and the working class are powerless to stop this. But yea denial on both sides certainty is problematic, the issue is though "tankie" communists will argue propaganda as well as the libs and conservatives. We have been bombarded with fictitious narrative that its a real struggle to find comprehensive and honest reporting of previous events.

    Last month I read a "tankies" recap on Tiannamen Square protests, it went as far as to say there was no massacre and quoted creditable journalist that had reported a peaceful evening on the night of the massacre, but I equally saw photos of piled up buddies, bloodied police officers and alike. There's also a conspiracy that the CIA staged the massacre or played some rule within it.

    Ive also dealt with american denying the genocide in Vietnam, or Americas rule in creating North Korean.

    Solidarity comrade

  • Apparently its to do with a sport car scene where the Chinese couldn't afford such luxuries but still want to participate and westerners or Americans would call these vehicle mods ricing

    Now with linux theming we call ricing and that carries a racist connotation. How racist it actually is I am unsure but either way thats the reason people get upset.

  • "Actually, sweatie, mass unrest is caused by the CIA, not discontent with Dear Leader!"
  • I like the dichotomy. Fuck power structure and you may be misremembering the dialogue prier, definitely inflating it though 1000001981

    You delete these comments :/ but this is what I said.

    Someone had said how communism has caused much suffering, I wanted to add context to the history of communist revolutions.

    Our Trump reporting upsets some readers, but there aren’t two sides to facts: Letter from the Editor
  • Being British but having to talk american politics ive started looking to Wikipedia for somewhat non bias information, or more so I am able to easily follow the source which often leads to first hand testimonials, court documents and some such information.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack

    I find doing so gives me an advantage when combatting misinformation.

    My uncle who seems to get all his insight from Ben Shapiro or as I say dry muff man, and Russell brand/Howard which ever is doing a pod cast theses days.

    Anyway a lot of the right wing ideologs tend to side on conspiracy, hearsay. So be well informed and hopefully we can pull the working class away from these grifters.

    PTSD/CPTSD non military

    Something I have stuck in my head and frustrates me, was from years ago news media talking about PTSD in regards to civilians. The conversation felt very dismissive as if it was not possible to suffer from PTSD unless they fought in a war.

    recently I was diagnosed with CPTSD due to a horrific home life growing up. Anyway all this has compounded to were I feel like an outsider.

    I know cptsd is somewhat common and I'm wondering if anyone remembers this narrative in the news, and if anyone with PTSD/CPTSD has felt similarly?

    Got a "smart" monitor, my first

    Samsung g8 monitor, ive been pining to upgrade my 1080p monitor and thought id go full hug with oled, 4k and higher frame rate (170hz apposed to my previous 144hz),

    first cardinal sin: polystyrene packaging.

    Second: its apparently smart which I'm taking to mean they added pointless software to it so to extract long term profit from users, have brand deals with streaming company's and to artificially age a product.

    I can see a smart TVs making sense, its essentially the evolution of the TV, in general, they started with big antennas and now they have smaller internal antennas, changes to broadcasting has allowed for this.

    But a monitor something that has always relied on a secondary system to function now has smart features, why the fuck call it a monitor? Its surely a tv at that point.

    Although my disappointment goes further than just the smart aspect, I'd be okay if there was a non intrusive app store, but no the controls have 4 dedicated buttons I will never use, prime video, netflix, Disney plus and Samsung TV plus. If I were to ever use these services I would do so through my PC, or if I had a games console (media centre) I would use that, which then posses the question of what's the point? Did they have old android PCBs laying about the factory and thought fuck it,..

    Next issue is how Samsung want me to connect to the internet, its easy to press no to connecting, the issue come from hardware maintenance which is especially important with oled. Oleds degrade quite fast, if I left the monitor on for a day with windows desktop white theme constantly displaying I may run into burn in, so most oled monitors/TVs have corrective software that'll run on command or scheduled, most of these monitors also report its history of corrective operations but Samsung demands I download an app on my phone to view this information.

    Why can't tech just be one thing, now everything has to be some kind of Swiss army knife.

    Edit: thought I'd look at this app (SmartThings) to see how good/bad it is, download the app and permissions aren't too bad although I dont like that Samsung wants my location, anyway ive two option: top right sign in, centre get started, I click get started and get pulled from the app to my browser met with a message > "Browser not supported

    > Samsung account can only be used with the following browsers: > - Samsung Internet > - Chrome > - Firefox > - QQ Browser > - UC Browser > - Sogou Browser > - 360 Browser > - Safari > - Chromium > - Brave > - Microsoft Edge"

    I am using chromium on android... This is just ridiculous. Plus a redflag to Samsung needing me to be connected to the internet whilst using the application which uses Bluetooth to connect to the monitor.

    Another edit: multi screen is locked, I can't use two inputs simultaneously to create a split screen unless I connect to the internet. Ridiculous. I had this capability back in 2016 with my old lg ultra wide and now my hardware functionality is locked because I am choosing to stay offline.

    Who can I go to in the UK for anti consumer practice's?

    [Resolved (i hope)] in need of help with udev rule

    Edit: Go to bottom to read resolution:

    am trying to make a stable link to read t-sensor bash $ sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/t_sensor-temp-stable-path.rules bash ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="hwmon", KERNEL=="hwmon*", ENV{HWMON_NAME}=="asusec", SYMLINK+="t_sensor_temp", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'ln -s /sys/class/hwmon/%k/temp2_input /dev/t_sensor_temp'" bash $ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules $ sudo udevadm trigger expected result, t-sensor temp2_input file is now linked in /dev/t_sensor_temp

    actual result no link in /dev bash $ cat /dev/t_sensor_temp cat: /dev/t_sensor_temp: No such file or directory even after rebooting,and running $ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules $ sudo udevadm trigger its still failing to create link.

    i have stable links in /dev for gpu and cpu which work perfectly

    Edit: so i may of resolved the issue and am adding this to maybe help others in the future worth noting i preface "may of" as im not sure if when a hardware change acures that udev will continue to link to hwmon* temp2_input

    i first changed the rule bash ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="hwmon", ATTRS{name}=="asusec", SYMLINK+="t_sensor_temp", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'ln -s /sys/class/hwmon/%k/temp2_input /dev/t_sensor_temp'" kernel is now not present, "ENV{HWMON}" is now "ATTRS{name}" but with these edits the link still was not created. once i ran the command sudo udevadm trigger --action=add --subsystem-match=hwmon --attr-match=name=asusec then the symbolic link was created. its been frustrating but glad we got the in the end.

    if someone can shine a light on the strange behavior that would be great.

    Lost access to account

    Good to see this instance is back up

    Last year I asked for assistance with account recovery, I enabled 2fa by mistake, instantly disabled it but alas I was met with the 2fa prompt after attempting to log back in. At the time this instance wasn't being maintain and I didn't get assistance or comment when I originally asked for help so now that this instance is active I am asking again.

    If its irretrievably then no worries but if I could regain access then that would be awesome

    User: squid.feddit I can give other information to the instance maintainer.
