    So important to document all these tactics and counter-tactics. It will also come to parts of Europe soon. Sweden has under the current government implemented prisons for children and forced government employees to report suspected undocumented children and families. And the far-right has not even officially been included in the government yet. We probably have to prepare here too.



  • This is very alien to me, also not from the US. What is party affiliation? And voter registration?

    Like in my country, there is a “vote-registry”, which is basically only relevant if you move out or back into the country. It is a “should the government include you to be able to cast a vote” , which is associated with your ordinary government registrerd address. All party “affiliations”, or they are memberships here, are handled by the parties themselves.

    Is party affiliation like memberships but centrally registred with the government? Is voting registration not something which is default, but something you have to… Apply for? How is the party affiliation and voter registration linked? You have to include who you intend to vote for?








  • I have serious issues with Cosmic. When I lock the screen and come back, then it has kills all terminals except the Cosmic terminal, firefox has become… broken, for the lack of a better word, where all new pages just give gray background color and no menu items work, and the sound is reset to the laptop speaker instead of hdmi, not the disolay though, only sound. Then fullscreening terminals also makes them crash, as in they seem to refuse to take input.

    It is not really usable. But since nvidia on x11 in popos started resetting the display config when the screen went to sleep, it beats the alternative.



  • Look into a distro that you might like, and find a “live usb” of it, often it is the installation media itself. How it works is basically it is a linux already installed on a disk image you transfer to the usb, and tell the computer to boot from it. Instructions on all this usually comes with the live usb media. Then you usually get a “try it out” or “install” option, or it just leaves you at a pre-configured desktop. Click around, install stuff, browse the web, get a feel for it.








  • The bum on the rods is hunted down as an enemy of mankind
    The other is driven around to his club, is feted, wined and dined

    And they who curse the bum on the rods as the essence of all that’s bad
    Will greet the other with a willing smile and extend a hand so glad

    The bum on the rods is a social flea who gets an occassional bite
    The bum on the plush is a social leech, bloodsucking day and night

    The bum on the rods is a load so light that his weight we scarcely feel
    But it takes the labour of dozens of folks to furnish the other a meal

    As long as we sanction the bum on the plush the other will always be there
    But rid ourselves of the bum on the plush and the other will dissappear

    Then make an intelligent organised kick get rid of the weights that crush
    Dont worry about the bum on the rods get rid of the bum on the plush
