DepYou could attempt the non-selfish kind and just donate it all to an independent health/rescue org like Red Cross/Red Crescent.

You could also go the kinda-selfish route like Alfred Nobel, known in his time as the merchant of death. Make an elaborate award&grant giving scheme for exceptional contributions to society in a variety of fields; boosting said contributions for many years. Would only recommend this route if you’ve got more than enough coin to spare, as the overhead of ensuring ethical operation is significant.

If you’ve got a house, you could transfer ownership to a trust/foundation/housing coop, to make it available for living at below market price.

I’d donate to various free software & open hardware projects important to societal improvement; like Mozilla, certain fediverse projects, PostmarketOS, Fairphone, etc. Also anarchist orgs.

Well, there’s REISUB https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key

Wooo friend was that a good read!

To others who may be intimidated by the number of pages; regain composure, as only 17 of those pages belong to this specific story

…it’s gone. Was it short enough to recite in a comment?

I’m not a native English speaker, so there may be some nuance I miss out on. But as far as I can tell, the implication of what you wrote was

• “Cuba is isolated because it wants to be”
• “Doctors are fleeing Cuba in large numbers”
• “Conditions are bad in Cuba”
• “The US gets alot of doctors from abroad”

I have good knowledge on point 1, limited knowledge on points 2&4, and somewhat decent info about point 2. I’m not disputing points 2,3&4.

It’s very misleading to say that “Cuba is keeping itself isolated”. Each year the UN votes to end the embargo/isolation imposed on Cuba by the US, with the vast majority of countries voting in favour of ending the blockade each time.

In the latest vote, in November, only Israel and USA voted against ending the blockade. Ukraine abstained. 187 member states voted in favour of ending the blockade

Make no mistake, the US is what has kept Cuba unjustly isolated for the past decades. Source: https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/11/1143112

The US sees anything that could shake their narrative of the world as a threat, even when that ‘threat’ is unfounded, and they massively abuse their economic and military power around the globe to keep others in line.

Someone should nugde his shoulder, stare into his eyes, and whisper “you have more wealth than 3 billion people combined”

That’s unfortunate. I’m not sure what the situation is at your location, but here in Norway literally every type of work from cleaning shores, through industry and even CEOs, have their respective union. So there might be a relevant union for your workplace, still. Safety for the employees lies in numbers.

In the short term though, I’d recommend reaching out to a local/regional union-of-interest, like a “disabilities-in-the-workplace” watchdog organization.

Your boss&CO sound willing to infantilize you, if it becomes a case, so solid evidence of their conduct is important. though let’s hope your emails solved it, and makes them realize their wrongs.

Keep recordings of all work meetings the coming year

• keep your phone in your pocket, make sure your phone mic is pointed in the right direction, and test sound quality beforehand. Garble is not useful for anything.
• if possible, you should have a ‘panic’ button sequence on your phone, to hide/stop recording.
• do not admit you have faults not caused by your condition, on tape!
• You have the right to know who will be part of a meeting, and what the meeting is about, beforehand. They can still spring a meeting on you, if they don’t care.

Are you in a union with your coworkers?

If so, if you get called into any (non-open-to-everyone) meetings the coming weeks/months, make sure your union rep is right there with you.

If not, you should unionize

Giraffics

Definitely the transition from QT5 to QT6. It Looks identical, but has better wayland support and performance.

There are also a few new and hot features which I can’t recount at the moment (it’s 4:30 in the morning), but the pointieststick blog should have the droids you’re searching for

Niceeeee! I’ve tested a few KF6 apps in a rawhide+nightly copr distrobox on Kinoite, and they’re quick

Aren’t most of those at best vulnerable as a leaf in the wind; and at worst literal hacker gateways to your home?

I watched the Sam O’Nella vid just now, and… I’m sorry he had that experience? I guess SM might be more shite abroad?

What’s up? In my household (in Norway) we’ve specifically sought out Swiss Miss for the past seven(?) years, because everything else (apart from home-made goodies!) tastes shite.

If I’ve lost out on something, lmk!

Yeah, when I first got into Linux and FOSS I’d read their articles to get oriented. Even followed them on Mastodon. For a time, the articles and content were good, but after a while I noticed a decline in quality and more talk about proprietary things.

Nowadays, I’ve muted ItsFOSS on Mastodon and actively avoid reading their articles, because they run so many paid placements and low quality stories with non-free things placed front-and-center.

Glad I’m not the only one of this opinion. Let’s hope ItsFOSS changes

True, although this can be alliviated by working in a worker-owned cooperative business

I’ve also used a pinetime running infinitime for the past year, and I agree that it’s not exactly feature rich. I like it though.

I’ve heard that ‘bangle.js’ is an open source watch as well, with a decent feature set.

Great post! I’ve often used low cost as an argument for choosing open source software in my [IRL] communities, as the other advantages aren’t that successful when talking to people on a personal level. This post elaborates on those other advantages in a convincing way.

This led to an entertaining and brain-excercising hour-long rabbit hole. Nice!
