I found this site and figured it would be fun to share - there are Linux events going off around the world to help people migrate away from Windows in favor of Linux. If I lived closer to some of these I'd go help, but yeah, down with the spyware monopoly in Redmond. endof10.org

Was @janboehm.bsky.social hier sagt: "Gut aufgepasst, liebe Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter von ARD und ZDF. Für die AfD ist es sehr wichtig, dass ihre Umfrageergebnisse immer und immer wieder öffentlich geteilt werden. (...) Sie wird groß durch die bloße Annahme ihrer Größe."

The three decades after WWII ushered in levels of widely shared prosperity the US had never seen.

Things weren't perfect, but we seemed to understand the importance of unions and that the real "job creators" are Americans workers whose rising wages generated economic growth.

4. So why the massive emphasis on food waste? Because it avoids confrontation with powerful economic interests. Everyone can agree that people should waste less. Intentionally or otherwise, it involves individuating blame for a systemic problem: a classic neoliberal gambit.

Man nehme für die wichtigste Exekutivbehörde des Landes Menschen, die vornehmlich weiß und männlich sind, zudem häufig menschenfeindliche Ansichten teilen und gebe ihnen Waffen und Internet.

Dass Faschisten wie die von der AfD durch ihre Wahlergebnisse nicht zu Demokraten werden, hat jetzt also auch die Berufsxenophobin Naomi Seibt begriffen – im Rahmen ihrer Möglichkeiten, versteht sich.

Schon wieder und seit Monaten protestieren tausende Israelis gegen Netanjahu und seine Kriegstreiberei und für die Freilassung der Geiseln. Meine Solidarität gilt genau diesen Menschen und ich verstehe nicht, warum man das nicht teilt.

Practically we must be accepting of right wingers who turn against MAGA.

But don't forget it. When Trump is gone, we must teach future generations that it was bigotry that fueled his rise and that includes anyone who has ever aligned with him.

Hey #lawsky (I assume that's a valid tag, I'm not a lawyer) just a heads up but you might want to brace for windows recall size impact to your responsibilities of confidentiality.

Mutual aid is not barter/equal exchange, and mutual aid is not charity, as a whole lot more seem to believe. Mutual aid is not a single act like donating to a fundraiser, it is a web of relationship that people enact with each other in an ongoing basis.

In the UK there are 2-3 deaths per day due to crime.

The news and chat shows run endless stories about domestic violence, gangs, knife and gun crime.

In the UK there are 30-40 deaths per day due to COVID.

In the news ... the silence is deafening.

I hate to be that guy on the internet, but I switched to Pop!_OS full time in January and the sharp edges are actually _less_ annoying than the Windows ones. WAY less sharp than the Windows 11 ones.

Their behaviour made me ditch the only desktop OS I've ever used for 30+ years. And I'm lazy!
