Things could get very interesting if this situation changed, eh.

Well, after the unexpected (not really, let's be honest), update-related, demise of my Arch Linux with Cosmic system, I've switched to NixOS. Still with Cosmic DTE, because it works for me, but I need reliability, and Arch just isn't it. So far, so good. #linux #cosmicos #nerdslikeus
Happy to see that @system76.bsky.social are pulling the trigger on the official release of Cosmic. My experience with it has been nothing but positive, and with a few tweaks it will be awesome. #linux #foss #cosmicdte #rust
System76@system76.bsky.social · 9mo agoPop!_OS 24.04 LTS and COSMIC Epoch 1 will officially release on December 11th (UTC -7). We're getting close!!
Surely the current situation in the US shows us all that need new checks and balances put in place to support democratic processes and prevent it's corruption at the hands of people who lack the common decency that we previously took for granted. #democracy #trumpstein
It is hard for me to explain how much this resonates with me. #peoplehaverights #commondecency #sharethewealth #nobillionairs
We wouldn't want to risk having disgruntled trained and armed men and women turning against us, would we. Best to just buy a little loyalty insurance. Trump to Use $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops.

The world's worst kept secret? Absolutely!!!
Seth Abramson@sethabramson.bsky.social · 10mo agoSteve Bannon has confirmed that there is a secret plot afoot to end our democracy and install Trump as a permanent dictator. If this were untrue, he’d be getting a visit from the FBI, as what he’s describing is a criminal conspiracy. He won’t get an FBI visit.
It seems that POTUS is not a fan of this particular piece of political history, so I feel compelled, as a human, a socialist and a Canadian citizen, to spread it far and wide.

I am currently evaluating Arch Linux (not my first rodeo, TBH) and Cosmic OS. It really does seem as though @system76.bsky.social has done an awesome job! Yes, it is still a beta, but you'd hardly know it. It's fully functioning and snappy. #linux #arch #nerdsforthewin #open-source #rust
Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.
Fact-checked? Nope, because I'm not an American. #toomanyguns #toomanydeaths #bebetter #dosomething #trumpstein
Hi, this is me. Me and a whole shwack of socially minded, liberal thinking, left leaning people. #liberal #lefty #socialist #trumpstein
When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave the answer America keeps failing to learn.
Donald Earl Collins has a view on the situation in DC that echos the thoughts of many others. Don't ignore the optics of it all. Taking control of Washington D.C., where the laws and rules are different from anywhere else in the US, is symbolic, and in politics symbols speak louder than words.
Trump’s occupation of DC is a rehearsal for autocracy
By federalising the capital’s police and stifling protests, Trump is testing how far he can go to remake the US.

Personally, I am really looking forward to Friday. It's so nice to know that an honest, truthful, and ethically sound administration has the best interests of the people in mind. 🤔🤣🤷 /s #trumpstein #whitewash #releasethefiles #thetruthwillout
Hey MAGA, here’s that deep-state cover up you were looking for:

Of course! I forgot there was a precedent! #2000ad #policearepublicservants #boundaries #isitoveryet
I realize that PO(tu)S Trump didn't Wright this because there are a few $5 words in there. but does anyone else feel like they are the mistaken ones? Like, we aren't smart enough to know what's going on? #IYKYK #democracy #notdistracted #isitoveryet
Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc
I can't help but feel that Mr. Putin's plan was always to be seen as accepted by other world leaders, once again. Neither of these egotistical maniacs can stand the thought of being sidelined. Bluff called Mr. Trump. Your move, I guess. #democracy #peoplepower #freedom
