I have a friend whose spouse is indeed a trans immigrant who legally and rightfully receives benefits from Medicaid. I don’t know their full immigration status or the details of their benefits, because it’s none of my fucking business, but I worry about them constantly.

Sometimes relationships do be like this though.

Hard drive in the freezer. Broken actuator. Well, I put the entire laptop in. Early 00s probably. Worked for like 3 minutes.

I think this is a fair question, I’ve thought some on it. It really is about the nuclear option for decorum. If the ones remaining speak out now that’s Pandora’s box. I would argue it’s far, far beyond that - but if they still believe the system can be “saved” then I think they’ll hold the line. If they did I think it would be as a group and only if it was dire.

Income inequality in whatever the most palatable form is for the target audience who needs to hear it. That’s it. But I’m clearly not convincing you here - I’m just some rando idiot who sees a problem. I would gladly have an adult in the room give a better answer. In lieu of that, this is the best I’ve got for you. I’d love to have a space to discuss these things, I think actionable items like this are missing from current discourse here. Maybe it’s the format idk

Regardless of the outcome I just hope this doesn’t lead to more tribalism in software again. The FOSS community needs to stay strong on an international level whenever it comes to hardware integration etc.

Shockingly stupid. I keep thinking, well that’s the worst, and they are still able to find yet another exploit with which to speedrun fascism.

Pitting STEM vs the humanities is yet another (very successful) issue used to divide us from the real class problems we should tackle together instead. I agree with you.
