The pushback against Trump-Musk coup already started, and their symbol is a spoon.
I'm not American in any way at all (I'm a British person), but I've decided to also put spoons on my mastodon to show my support.
In case anyone doesn't know: Musk is taking over large swathes of the US federal government, subverting the entire political order of the US;
A far-right coup basically. MSNBC has been covering it, as have others.
Show them your spoons. 🥄🥄🥄
My goal for where I take Linux Support this year is best described as focusing on us being the best of the best.
I will be rolling out some new additions and improvements to how we do things with Linux Support at Framework Computer.
Deeper, more detailed docs and guides. Refining our already growing one of a kind scripts and tools, and of course, ramping up additional community distro support.
In short, this little demonstration video best summarizes my mindset.

To produce effective change, you need to have concrete, actionable proposals that will receive support.
In a political system with first-past-the-post, single-constituency voting and an intelligent, informed, well-meaning and constructive electorate, that means you need to be passionate, you need to be articulate, you need to have the facts on your side, you need to be committed to your idelogical goals, and your idelogical goals need to be a little bit, but not too much, slightly off-center from whatever current policy is.
Why Proximity Makes Progressives
Coloring the bright areas of a photograph of the United States at night blue and the dark areas red will turn the image into an approximate map of Democratic and Republican support.
In low-density areas, quality of life depends on not being interfered with; in high-density areas, it depends on the effective management of inevitable interferences
This difference translates directly into a difference in demands on government
