The world needs more angry young women like Greta https://www.youtube.com/live/Hvios9GF4CY?si=PW2aq1os-3l86NUO

Greta Thunberg being interviewed as she arrived back in Europe earlier today. Despite her ordeal she is still very eloquent in calmly explaining the need for action to try to stop our governments from bankrolling this horrific genocide.

I'm putting together a persistent USB installation of Linux Mint for a friend who wants to switch to Linux. It has both a tweaked Cinnamon in it, and an XFce that looks like MacOSX. Lots of apps & games pre-installed too. He'll love it, I'm sure.
