It might finally be The Year of The Linux Desktop, and while I could earnestly say Debian is actually perfectly fine now for newbies, I have with Framework and NixOS seen the shape of the future. NixOS and Adga are not ready for the newbies yet. But behold:

If you've noticed an uptick of pro-Russia tankies hating on Ukraine, here is why: Russia hijacked hundreds of BlueSky accounts to spread propaganda and disinformation. This is why we also increased the anti-Kremlin posts by 300%. www.france24.com/en/live-news...

A Russian influence campaign hijacked hundreds of Bluesky accounts -- many belonging to influential Americans -- to spread propaganda, researchers said, in a striking disinformation tactic that weaponized authentic identities rather than relying on fake accounts.

The corporate takeover of American politics was rapid and ruthless. In the 1970s, I watched as thousands of corporate lobbyists descended on Washington. Fast forward to today, and lobbying has become a multi-billion dollar industry. It all began with the Powell Memo.

I pissed some people off when I said I don't care for most classic girl's literature (Pollyanna, Anne of Green Gables, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm), so, since I don't know when to quit, let's dig deeper. I always resented that the girls had to imagine adventure while the boys got to do it.

We should stop calling the GOP the Republican party. That name was for anti-slavery, pro-union party. They slowly transitioned into the party of the plutocrats until they saw a short-term reward for joining with the racist electorate for short-term victories, who largely dominate the party now

Putin is a fascist committing genocide in Ukraine. Trump is also a fascist. Starving Cuba of energy is very wrong, but when did communism turn into a celebration of fascism?

OH MY HEART...the Oberlin Luddites Reject "The Year of AI Exploration"! 💚

photograph or a poster on cream colored paper. "Dear President Ambar,
we are writing to you on a typewriter that is over 70 years old. This is a
machine that we all know well. With it, we misspell words without the crutch of spell check or generative AI and we think intently about every phrase we pound out. As we force ourselves, for once, to slow down, we engage in a cognitive dialogue with ourselves. We do not seek perfection because we know that education is about the growing and challenging of our young minds' potential, not the chasing of institutional 'gold-star' approval. We do not believe that your so-called 'Year of AI Exploration; providing enterprise ChatGPT and Google Gemini subscriptions to every Oberlin student aligns with our college's founding principles. You claim that this year will be one of experimentation, not adoption. But even just one semester of accepted (encouraged even) chat bot use will jettison our student body down a lazy and irredeemable tunnel of intellectual destruction. We are a college grounded in learning and labor, which now risks straying from these rooted ideals. With ChatGPT at the helm, our emails, essays,and discussion posts will be generated for us, not by us. And let's not fool ourselves. This is precisely what these platforms will be used for by our busy, anxious student body. We see your vision for this year as.advancing the college's 'businessification'--an alarming trend also seen in the takeover of our beloved library cafe by a 'bookstore' with no books in stock and an app replacing customer service. In one instance, the college assumes we want efficiency at all costs through automated rather than hand pulled coffee. In the other lies the false belief that we simply desire to turn in an essay, regardless of how little we've written of it." there's more that doesn't fit in the 2000 character limit :(
