Everything to do with the USA's own Imperial Backyard. From hispanics to the originary peoples of the americas to the diasporas, South America to Central America, to the Caribbean to North America (yes, we're also there).

Post memes, art, articles, questions, anything you'd like as long as it's about Latin America. Try to tag your posts with the language used, check the tags used above for reference (and don't forget to put some lime and salt to it).

Here's a handy resource to understand some of the many, many colloquialisms we like to use across the region.

Blas Roca Calederio, born on July 22 in 1908, was a Cuban communist revolutionary and radical journalist. Roca helped lead the 1933 general strike that ousted Gerardo Machado, and served in Fidel Castro's revolutionary government.

Born into a poor family, Roca began working at age eleven, shining shoes. According to Castro, Roca was already a prominent communist organizer in the province of Oriente at 21 years old.

At age 25, Roca helped lead a two week general strike that ousted dictator Gerardo Machado. By 1936, he was head of the Cuban Communist Party and began serving as a politican, helping author the 1940 Cuban Constitution.

Under Roca's leadership, Cuban communists were instrumental in providing an organizational and ideological structure for Castro's revolution, as well as playing a pivotal role using the party's long-standing ties with the Soviet Union to promote increasingly closer ties during the early days of the revolution.

In 1961, Blas Roca, leading a party delegation, presented a Cuban flag to Nikita Khrushchev during a meeting of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Roca served on the first central committee and politburo of the new Communist Party of Cuba, founded in 1965.

You fucking presumptuous motherfuck :> (/joke)

Look right even Manjaro doesn't eat more than a gig idle, the point is more I deploy my OS to several aging, creaky systems capped at 2GB RAM and Endeavour requires 2.5GB. I can install it, but the image boots fucking KDE and it's really dicey that ram situation. I don't need it to be that lean, I've never given a shit about RAM use, linoox can do whatever it wants but when one of my systems gets hard capped for memory, I gotta move.

I hate Debian tho and I am okay at updates, I keep several Manjaro installs from exploding so lmao. I do actually enjoy learning Linux even though I'm really bad at it, so I think I might have the aptitude.

I C. Looks like arch would be better in that situation for install since the net install image is very small on purpose.

I love yapping about various Linux things and I don't get to do it often and the arch wiki and using arch Linux is what got me started.
