โ€œThe Whole City is Fighting Backโ€: Remora House on Grassroots Resistance to Military Occupation in DC


"For the last several weeks, federal agents and National Guard troops have flooded the streets of Washington DC, setting up an authoritarian occupation of the city; harassing residents, dismantling homeless encampments, and arresting undocumented workers. Under the manufactured pretext of โ€œcrime,โ€ the Trump administration is accelerating the weaponization of both law enforcement and the military against targeted populations within the United States."

At the end of the day, Apple is more anti-web than it will ever be pro-user, which is why stuff like this keeps happening:

more competition is always welcome. Personally, I pick Dinit.

Systemd is fine for the most part, but I take issue with it pretty much being the de facto standard.

As an Apple and Nintendo user, I donโ€™t want vendor lock-in on my pc as well. Gnome is already starting to depend more on Systemd features making it very hard to run it on other init systems.

We donโ€™t need a lot of alternatives to the Systemd suite, but one or two good alternatives that are interchangeable would be welcome.

feels like incel propaganda. Hateful loners who have a brief moment of relief before or after committing an act of violence and leaving society behind them shouldn't be related to using free software, but it seems some people see this as inspiring, great work mister 'itsfoss', as always.

As I conclude my Senate fellowship, Iโ€™m deeply grateful to Senator Gary Peters of Michigan and his brilliant, thoughtful team. I will miss working with them tremendously.

Thanks as well to the Council on Foreign Relations for the chance to serve during such a pivotal moment in our nationโ€™s history. It has been a transformative year, for me personally and for democracy. 1/2

Despite political uncertainty, I leave D.C. hopeful knowing that so many caring and dedicated colleagues will continue this important work, and I look forward to carrying all Iโ€™ve learned into the next chapter of my career. 2/2

Congratulations on navigating your way through challenging times. I look forward to hearing about your next adventures.


Humanize the people who the current administration of oligarchy are trying to villify.


In the 80s I started university and immediately watched my university begin to crumble under President Reagan. When I returned to university in the 90s, at an Australian university, I was at the centre of a controversy with several other students whereby one department was trying to hijack my PhD in order to gain more corporate money and status. The department in which I was lecturing was also compromised by the big deal they made with Apple for "free" computers.

I hope people take note of this article.

Universities have lost their way, but cost-cutting and consultants are not the answer

in reply to Muse

@Richard You cannot fire or lay off a professor with tenure. This gives them freedom to express what might be an unpopular or controversial opinion. It also gives them freedom to focus on research they find fulfilling. The concept was to ensure a diversity of ideas would always be present at a university, not just the ones that suited a certain segment of the institution. It also means you have a secure job in your old age.
