When I think about it, I’d probably pay for a news source that aimed at giving factual, unbiased reporting (no I don’t mean “equal coverage”) and which deliberately dropped all deference or special respect for the ruling class. Especially if there were no “sacred cows” in general, genocide gets called genocide, none of this passive voice for police (“a man was shot during a police stop”), etc.

I’d put $20/month toward that.

I have a short and extremely compelling read that details (from someone who served in the role, albeit in an interim capacity) how important the DNC chair can be, by way of explaining how exactly the party was ratfucked in 2016 via money. Literally every American should read this:

I got this from a Lemmy user recently and it very clearly spells out how exactly we got fucked in 2016 and why this position and also the fundraising is so massively, critically important!

I’m just thankful it’s fritted, can you imagine?

Yes, but we desperately need a thriving ecosystem of open source devices. With the way electronics are going - for example, being forced to agree to a new license agreement before being able to use a device I already purchased, and the agreement forces arbitration for disputes? We need more people working on enshittification-proof devices.

Yeah I hear ya. No old spare drive you can use to test the process before committing?

I’m actually in the process of trying to relocate my /home directory (to a folder in a separate partition, not a separate disk) for my Bazzite desktop installation, so if anyone with tips happens to see this please say so!

I’m in this boat with my kiddo, and like you I intend to give serious and honest answers for any questions (although occasionally I do say “I don’t think you’re quite ready for that topic yet”, or I’ll keep the details light and inform her of why).

It’s been working out great, similar age to yours. She trusts me to give her real info no matter the topic (this is invaluable), she accepts when I tell her that she’s probably not quite ready for XYZ, and the auxiliary benefit is that I’m forcing myself to get a bit more efficient even when I’m in --verbose mode.

ETA: we’re also careful to tell her that we expect her to make her own opinions about everything and not just accept ours. That includes things like religious beliefs and politics when she decides to engage with those topics.

Dead Prez been radical and vocal about social and political issues since long before everyone else got there. Music is probably dated by now but their messages have always been consistent and they are very applicable today.
