  • Find the mutual aid networks in your community and join / support them.

    Just generally be in community with those around you.

    Join or form local weekly protests for a permanent ceasefire.

    Join a union and encourage others to. Help ensure that your union has enough resources to provide support for more vulnerable members when they need to strike.

    Run for local office.


  • It’s a stretch to say that going to war in the middle east indicated “care” about/for Arab people.

    Also, I haven’t checked but I’d bet good money that we’ve gone back on more promises than we’ve actually honored WRT interpreters.

    Meaning, to be clear:

    We’ve promised a lot of interpreters U.S. visas / citizenship if they helped us in Iraq and Afghanistan, and have probably blocked more from entry to the U.S. than we have allowed.

    That is utterly fucked up, and I don’t see why anyone would trust such promises from the U.S. in the future.

    I quite happily run HAOS on my raspberry pi 3 to control the lights, my Roomba, and various other devices in my home.

    Interacting with it via the home-assistant Android app, or the web interface, I’m never waiting for anything, and interacting via mosh is quite pleasant.

    Part of what makes Linux nice is that you can use just what you need.

    If what you need includes something like a web browser, then yes; 4 GiB of RAM is going to be a bad time, and 1 GiB is going to be unusable.

    Sorry again. I wrote this last comment (and this one, TBH) from my phone and “–iso=s” should have been “–iso-8601=s” . I’ve edited my comment and the command should now work (Making a backup of your grub.cfg containing the date, to the second, in the filename. I did that to hopefully avoid you running the same command again after trying some fixes and accidentally clobbering your backup).


  • Or you can recruit heavily in areas where folks are disadvantaged and have few options, dangling education in front of them in exchange for being willing to kill or die for you.

    This is absolutely what we do in the U.S. and it’s abhorrent.

    I guess what I want is for nobody to be so desperate for their basic needs that they feel compelled to kill and die in war.

    And if we had a country that cared for all of its citizens and didn’t start wars of aggression, maybe more people would want to enlist as they have real values to protect and have a reasonable expectation that they won’t be committing atrocities?

    Honestly not a criticism of you or your comment. Lot’s of people are advocating for the same thing; You just said it plainly.

    …Anyway, this is all terrible and we absolutely can do better, starting with building community locally, mutual aid, protesting, and listening to marginalized and oppressed people’s.
