Sorry, didn't want to write about linux again but I've been thinking about the last post. After I slept on it, I realized it was not up to my standards of accuracy.| a rickety bridge of impossible crossing
My Linux rant has generated more feedback than anything I've written here. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, it's a subject a lot of people in my circles feel passionately about. What is a little surprising is how civil everyone's been: my approach to linux is a bit, shall we say, unorthodox, and I expected some heated comments about my intelligence and perceived naïvete; with one or two exceptions,1 all the feedback has been sympathetic and earnest offers to help.| a rickety bridge of impossible crossing

At the end of May 2023, an international conference was held in Brussels, bringing together some twenty participants from six countries (USA, UK, Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands) with references to the historical internationalist communist Left. At the initiative of Internationalist Perspective and Controverses, they were able to debate for two full days. Documenting the invitation criteria and aims of the conference; its composition, agenda and the discussions at its meetings, this s...| An internationalist Articles Selection & Review
“My total forgetfulness and my absolute failure to recognize you today are but your absolute presence and my total absorption of yesterday. As much as you were — as much you are no longer. The absolute presence in reverse. Such a presence cannot but become such an absence. Everything yesterday, nothing today.” - Marina Tsvetaeva (1892-1941), from a letter to Abram Vishnyak (1895-1943), in a Postface to “Nine Letters with a Tenth Kept Back and an Eleventh Received” (published letters...| - The Reader -

“All such a mix-up—What a madness—hysteria—I hardly slept a wink last night—such ghastly things are happening all around me.” - Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946), in a letter to Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986) [New York City] • [November 2, 1917] in: ”My Faraway One.

“I thought your soul was greater and more worthy of mine, for I have loved you with all the love there is in my heart. You’re killing what life I still have, you blow everything away with one puff as though it were a mere spider’s web. I have nothing left in the world, nothing left in life. You love me, and yet you are killing me. You destroy my happiness and your own. I was beginning to amass in my heart so much love and happiness. You are crazy and I am crazier still. But don’t you ...| - The Reader -
“A telegram from you Dearest, best part of what I am… This morning after I had sent you a twenty-six-page [letter] registered—I came back & broke down again—There was so much more to say in the letter & I realized I hadn’t said it—that I felt no matter what I wrote I couldn’t make you feel what really was eating me up—killing me—Not your being away but that terrible lack of togetherness when you left—& I know that without that I am lost—…” - Alfred Stieglitz (1864-19...| - The Reader -
