GNOME FTW 😎 enjoy your new hardware!!

Looks like a GNOME-based DE, yeah.

In this case, perhaps using AdNauseam could be useful for you.

Catalonia was more of a “pay less taxes” independence way.

It’s true. I mean, the Catalan bourgeoisie is the one promoting Catalan independence, and this only benefits them, not the Catalan working class. In the Basque Country, the Basque bourgeoisie prefers to promote nationalism. It’s the Basque left that has promoted this idea of independence from the Spanish state the most. This is because following the acts of ETA, a large part of Spain discriminated against the Basque Country. My dad, when he did his military service, was in fact forced to lie about where he lived in order to avoid problems.

The “socialist party” I keep hearing in the news about I assume is PSOE which is socdem?

Yeah, they’re socdems, pro-EU, TERFs, and populists. The current government has done decent things not thanks to the PSOE, but thanks to the government partners who are slightly more radical than them (Unidas Podemos + EH Bildu + ERC). Still, they are a geopolitical disaster. The PSOE refused to join China’s Silk Road yet, for example.

Sorry for asking such rudimentary questions, I need some historic reads about the area to understand it better probably.

Don’t worry! It’s okay. But bear in mind that I’m probably not the best person to explain the situation here, so take what I say with a grain of salt (mostly because I’m still learning and my analyses may be poorly developed).

I assume the anti-independence protestors are fascists that want a Greater Spain or whatever as always.

Yep, you’re absolutely right. It’s only the most reactionary and right-wing extremists in the country who are protesting. In fact, to no one’s surprise, many Francoist flags have been spotted during the demonstration.

Is there a communist party with official information on this subject?

You can read this opinion article written by PCTE Secretary General (Astor Garcia) on this issue: https://www-nuevo--rumbo-es.translate.goog/2023/11/15/gobierno-amnistia-y-estabilidad/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=es&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Of course. Right now, the relationship between the Basques and the rest of Spain is delicate. There are still ETA political prisoners serving sentences outside the Basque Country. Many people demonstrated against this, as the families considered it unfair not to be able to visit them. But for example, in my opinion, the pro-independence sentiment among the younger generation has dropped considerably compared to other generations. In Catalonia as well, but there, independence is a current issue because of the exiles that took place after October 1th.

Right now there are demonstrations in Ferraz (Madrid) because the current president of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, has granted amnesty to the exiles and those responsible for the revolt of October 1th, and this has infuriated the extreme right-wing nationalists.

I could mention more, but in general this is the most relevant for now.

Eskerrik asko gure alde egiteagatik! <3

Oh, I didn’t know that.

Yeah, you’re right.

Okay. Thank you <3

They’re talking me through a Gambian number (+220) tho…

UPDATE 1: Thank you for all the support you are giving me. I told Abdou to go to the station, and I am accused of helping a trans person and sending her sexual pictures (which is not true, and they had to look at his phone to know that). I am scared because I know that in Gambia many LGBT things are forbidden… and because some accusations seem real. And they are harassing me to pay ASAP. Abdou said that it’s true all of this. The Police number that is harassing me is +220 358 5509, can you check if its real or not?

UPDATE 2: I am gathering information to report to the police. Apparently they have tried to scam people in my close circle also asking for money. It is more than clear that this is a scam. I will see if I can get something with the report (although I doubt it). Thanks for the help!

I feel stupid for having swallowed all of this… Now in perspective it is more evident, but at the time, I don’t know if it was impulsivity or being too naive, I wanted to believe in all this. My life has been hell ever since. Do you think I should present evidence to the police to denounce him? Will I be able to recover part of the money or…?

Hi :)

Kingdom Hearts and NBA Live 06 (PS2)

I’m using Logseq instead.

Sorry to hear that comrade… 🫂 ❤️

Oh! I live in the Basque Country. What was your experience here? The gastronomy is one of the best in the world, and although people are a bit more shy than in the rest of Spain, you can have a great time if you go out partying with Basques. If you need advice about tourism here, I know of a few places that might interest you :) @DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml
