As a break from the politics, and after finally getting everything to work today, here's a barely-disguised rant on why I moved away from Google Chrome to Mozilla Firefox.

@ErickaSimone @lax Accusing someone of bigotry because they're not educated in the specific nuances of an entirely different culture is a good way to ensure that they're not going to educate themselves further.
@ErickaSimone @lax It's a bit weird to expect people to know what the issues are, and what abolitionism is, when it exists entirely outside of their framework. If you're not interested in educating someone, fine, but I don't think that accusing someone coming from an entirely different cultural background, where racial differences are simply not relevant to the degree that they are in American contexts, of being racist is called for or helpful in any way.
I updated my drivers and now it seems like Nvidia, Ubuntu, and Firefox are finally getting along! That means I can pretty much abandon Chrome entirely now, since I don't need it for things like WhatsApp Web anymore. \o/
"Can I send your project to a colleague somewhere else because it's a very good summary" from a lecturer is probably a good sign.
Itamar Ben-Gvir has perverted a symbol of protest that called for life into a symbol that calls for death.
Addendum: Shortly after I wrote this, the Attorney General wrote a letter to the Prime Minister, warning that the National Security Minister is illegally using his position to politicize the police, in violation of the terms set for him to have the position. I somewhat doubt anything will come of it, but people are definitely noticing what's happening.
My one-minute review (okay, maybe two minutes) of Alan Paton's "Cry, the Beloved Country".
We have to make sure that we don't let activists working towards a better future be intimidated into silence.
