So the fediverse has has BookWyrm, do we have anything to review movies and series? (Does BookWyrm allow for that?)

@tinker would be proud. At #cyphercon there’s a room dedicated to trying and exploring Linux mint. Now, here it’s preaching to choir. But I had a good talk with the organizer about the process of moving people.

Still working on the game plan for family. Set a friend up with Bazzite on a box with older graphics cards. Want to learn where the capability line is before cards need to be upgraded.

Probably going to mint my family, but bazzite or Pop my brother in law. Need to get the blog up to write up the experience.

Six thousand San Francisco educators won fully funded health care, sanctuary schools, and an up to 8.5 percent raise over two years by walking out for the first time in nearly 50 years. After just four days on strike, February 9 to 12, they won their top demands—some of which the district had previously refused to bargain over.

Overwhelmed by Strike, San Francisco Schools Found the Money for Top Union Demands

Six thousand San Francisco educators won fully funded health care, sanctuary schools, and an up to 8.5 percent raise over two years by walking out for the first time in nearly 50 years. After just four days on strike, February 9 to 12, they won their top demands—some of which the district had previously refused even to bargain over. “It was hard and it was joyful and we f-ing beat them,” said Ilan Desai-Geller, a high school teacher who served on the bargaining committee and as a regional strike captain. “They found the money all of a sudden.

The Twin Cities are definitely on the organizers minds. From general strike groups, to anti-Tesla boycotts, to folks with Backbone, everyone has referenced in some way a desire to match the grassroots energy of Minnesota.

A representative of one of the Seattle Indivisible groups says that there was a deliberate attempt to connect with and learn from folks there.

It does not, to my eye, seem like we’ve quite cracked the code on effective cross-org communications yet, but they’re trying.

also lol on my typo... i'm leaving it 😅
If you bring Rayhunter to a protest this weekend (or ever), please send us the results, even if you didn’t find anything! Negative results can still help us better understand how and when CSS are being used. https://efforg.github.io/rayhunter/support-feedback-community.html

Working on the next version of writerdeckOS (finally!) which replaces the default word processor of Tilde with Wordgrinder.

That said, in case someone wants to use a different word processor, I'm prepackaging it with several command line word processors and text editors such as tilde, wordgrinder, vi, vim, nano, emacs, joe, and....

Word Perfect!!!

Hahaha! Tavis Ormandy released a ported version of Word Perfect for Linux a handful of years ago.

So here's me running Word Perfect in Linux!

I like this for a lot of reasons. But mostly because the path to decarbonization AND cost reduction is electification, and electric regulation is primarily done at the state level in the US. Governors can lead, and Spanberger is. https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/clean-energy/virginia-set-to-enact-laws-cleaner-cheaper-power

Gov. Abigail Spanberger is expected to sign bills promoting solar power, batteries, grid tech, and, above all, affordability.
