I originally wanted to do what you've done, but eventually fell on the idea that the country is essentially beyond saving. Should this hold true, the best option then is to join a grassroots movement and begin building an alternative economy from the ground up as a ready replacement for the collapse of the current system. Join a socialist organization, work for a land trust, start building cooperatives and alternative food systems, etc.

spotDL. Searches YouTube to download whole Spotify playlists, or individual songs, and includes artwork and metadata.

Hey man, let us have this one. Any immutable/atomic distribution could have either prevented this or easily rolled back the update. Not to mention a Linux offering by something like Red Hat, for example, wouldnt recommend installing closed source third party kernel modules for exactly this reason. Not sure about the feasibility of these endpoints, but the way things are generally done on, and the philosophy of, Linux could very well have avoided this catastrophe.

Can I ask how you got a job as a Linux administrator?

I don't love how it played out either but it was the delegates we voted for that elected kamala as our nominee. It was our representative democracy at play in a less than ideal situation when biden dropped out at an awkward time. And kind of the point of a vice president.

Its this or the guy that said he'd be dictator on day one and that no one would ever have to vote again if he is elected. You decide what you want to vote for.

Lol love the use of references. So glad you posted this. Looks fantastic.

I worked part time through college. Summers I had two part time jobs, and a couple summers three that worked with my schedule. Started school with about 10k in savings and finished about 12k in debt.

Edit: I'm also super frugal. Found cheap food, cheap/free furnishings/clothes, cheap housing, pirated textbooks, and rode a bicycle and took the bus to get around.

Wish I could have afforded the time for some unpayed opportunities. Really struggling to find a decent job at the moment. (Studied math at a top university with fairly significant cs experience and decent gpa).

Wouldn't not recommend college, but man not feeling too good about it at the moment in terms of job opportunities (certainly wouldn't trade the experience and what I've learned for anything though)

I'm registered independent. If we had options, I would have changed that to vote in the democratic primaries, and I considered changing it to vote uncommitted.

Although I align more closely with progressive democrats, serious question, where do I fit if what I believe in most strongly is a Cooperative Economy and an alternative measure of GDP?

For good measure for those interested:

a sort of mathematical proof cooperation works better for, not only everyone but, the individual than competition and acting in one's own self interest (aka capitalism).

Economy for the Common Good (one alternative measure of GDP) explained. Starts around 7:00 minutes in.

Living and working in cooperatives has given me hope. Member/worker owned and democratically controlled. They're places that I found I would consistently get more out of than I put in; you share a meal or help someone out and dozens would want to return the favor. These experiences and this video has changed how I see and interact with the world. All that's left is to help spread cooperativity.

Thought this looked cool. Haven't had the need to use it much since discovering this. Offers a lot of googles functionality that I used to use like collaborative documents, spreadsheets, calendars, and more.

My thought was mostly that this kind of invasive third party and closed source kernel module security wouldn't have been necessary. But I'm pretty sure rollbacks can include kernel changes in a previous image.

You've basically just described the cooperative movement. Food, worker, housing, producer co-ops. We need people to start co-ops and for policy to help nurture its growth.

How do we make that happen though? I don't really know. I like to imagine we need one person to run for president with this as their platform on the democratic ticket just to get the message across. Similar to how Andrew Yang brought universal basic income into the conversation.

Some kind of uniting catalyst for a non violent transition away from capitalism that people can agree with and isn't just 'socialism'. Cooperative enterprises though are a stateless form of socialism, so no central planning or big government to tell us what to do. Seems like something that could potentially unite both the left and right if done right.

I really want to try a powered paraglider. Seems fairly accessible. Costs no more than a used car. Curious about the legality/feasibility of using it to get around..

One of the ideals of being a cooperative is "cooperation among cooperatives" as dictated by the Rochdale Principles. So by definition worker co-ops shouldn't be competing with each other. Instead consolidation of corporations to force a sort of cooperation to increase profit we'll ideally have worker cooperatives working with producer co-ops for example.

Not entirely sure the implications of supply and demand market forces but I imagine its a step up from our current system. We'll have democratically controlled work places where workers dictact the direction of supply and not necessarily for the sole purpose of increasing profits. In any case what I think we need is a new systematic way of measuring the growth of an economy in conjunction with worker co-ops.
