What a joke. Seriously though, fuck ICE and their fascist paymasters

Indeed

Definitely, the benevolence of corporations is not indefinite. No matter how good the times start out or manage to be, it always goes downhill.

Strictly speaking, nothing really. But competition is good. Federation is better.

I suppose that depends where you are from. In the US almost no average person could tell you what the totenkoph is. Let alone ID it. Everyone could ID a swastika. Though not tell the difference between Sanskrit or Nazi.

I had to look it up to remind myself even. I’m most familiar with it as a piece of iconography the neo folk group Death In June has used several times.

Honestly, it reveals more about authoritarians and capitalists.

It’s certainly not complicated. Just tedious. That said I like the BSD style portage.

These days I tend to run on Arch based distros. Because they are close to those levels of configurability. Just a bit quicker to setup and get to a nice preset. I know there are pre made stages to skip some of the tedious setup for both gentoo and vanilla Arch. But then why not a distro where that’s the base. And some of the sub distros like Garuda provide some really nice configuration tools on top of the base experience.

Or to cities likely for that matter.

It’s almost like we shouldn’t rely on just a few central sites. And that everything should be democratized and federated.

It is. There’s very little right presence on the fediverse still. And I don’t think pug would humor them if they tried.

Sad but true

The owners of the media aren’t going to let them. They already should have been blasting it wall to wall as war crimes. A few small outlets that most people never see will constantly cover it, of course. But in a week you will see nothing of it on any of the major outlets that people see daily.

Nah. It’ll be what survivors? Down the memory hole it goes with tomorrow’s scandal.

It’s not a culture thing. You’d have the same issues in Windows if there was a problem. Plenty snarky and dismissive answers. Some people just want an appliance and that’s okay.

The biggest issue is that people end up running on poorly or non supported hardware. Buy a system from a company that designs with Linux in mind. System 76 Tuxedo etc. 90% of the issues are gone, poof. The final bit is dependence on or inability to leave a piece of software. There are options for most things on Linux. But not everything, and not always as you’re familiar with. If that’s a deal breaker, it’s a dealbreaker. And that’s too bad but understandable. No shade.

I’m looking at eventually trying to set up a local mesh Halow network. With some remote nodes being solar powered if possible. For a nice few kilometer wide basic anarchist network. That may or may not have access to the internet. But would at least provide some basic communication services to those local.

It’s certainly captured, but I wouldn’t count it out just yet.The old media is absolutely 100% a write-off. But, unless the authoritarians work together to fully censor the internet. It’s easier for them to reach readers now on their own than it’s ever been before.

Breaking many from the generational tradition that is turning on the local evening news. It’s definitely going to be hard. But now more than ever, people have a chance to really bank on their name and reputation as the establishment throws theirs away.

How sadly predictable.

It’s to my understanding and Irish idiom / saying. Those that traveled to Blarney Castle, in the county Cork. And kiss the Blarney stone which was part of the battlements. Were often said to be blessed with the gift of gab.

Basically talk good/persuasively.

Agreed. If nothing else, he has the gift of gab. Which is more than any other candidates. But what he’s saying is good too. Desperately wish we could have a candidate like this in the Midwest.

The people walking passed “might” be oblivious. Anyone in the office is complicit.
