Anyone know of a guide to getting Linux to run (optimally) on older Mac hardware? I've got Ubuntu installed and I got the webcam working but I hear there are other proprietary drivers for graphics and power management that are important to have.

Given that Apple loves to obsolete their devices and their relatively nice hardware, I'm surprised there aren't more comprehensive guides to installing Linux (beyond the basic, create install media, not to EFI, etc) on Mac hardware.

@polpo you know what's crazy? One time I accidentally cracked a full-size SD Card open, and I found that inside it was just a microSD card adapter with a permanently attached microSD card.

Emergency - CWed begpost after robberies and medical-related fees in foreign country, boost appreciated 

Hey friends,

My fiancee's phone has been stolen in Liverpool and we have no way to get in touch with her family.

We've had to pay for a cab to try and get my meds. Our cash has been stolen and we have bank fees.

We're here to see her family but are stuck in West Kirby and have to go to the South of London.

Any help is deeply appreciated please, thank you so much!

Help sky afford transition care and medical expenses as they and their family move to a safer state other than florida. Florida has proved to be unsafe for trans folks due to recent anti-trans legislations and an increasingly hostile environment against trans folks.

Racism, help plan a counter protest fast 

Hey, do you live in #Ottawa ?

We need your help.

This Saturday, a group of hateful, racist assholes will be taking to the parking lot at 40 Hearst way to protest the creation of a shelter for asylum seekers in kanata.

They are using cloaked and veiled language, but the intent is straight racism.

We want to drown that out.

I've never planned a counter protest, much less in under a week, but even if we could just get a group together with some signs it would be better then doing nothing?

Let me preface this by saying this post is primarily for fellow Jewish people on here. While I'd appreciate it if others share it around, I'd ask that you mostly leave the discussion to us.

Israeli society is much more racist than US society in my personal experience. Speaking as a Jew from the US.

When people start saying that making such a simple statement as that is definitionally antisemitic, I feel like my peers, my fellow Jews, are abandoning any pretense towards improving ourselves and our communities. Abandoning Tikkun Olam, by denial: "the world is already fixed!" amidst barriers, guard posts, and piles of rubble.

We are just as much a part of what is broken in the world as anything else, we are not exempt from Isaac Luria's challenge or in any way special. Our settlements aren't uniquely non-colonial, our "Jewish Power" knesset party is not uniquely non-fascist, are armies aren't uniquely free of pillagers and rapists, and our people are not uniquely relegated to the role of historical victims. These are real problems, really broken aspects of ourselves, not against the core of our being unless you can only definitionally tie modern Jewish identity to the terrors instead of the joys. I think it might be convenient to some especially prejudiced people to forget the joys altogether for this reason.

When I hear my fellow community members rationalizing a perfect and infallible global Jewry I can only mourn in advance of what is to come from that naïve exceptionalism. US Jews included, many of our number voted for Trump. Ideas once solely relegated to white supremacists which excluded us from every aspect of modern life are now increasingly common with younger kids. These are not antisemitic observations, and should not encourage indiscriminate targeting of our communities, but should encourage deep reflection and appropriate action to repair the world on our own part.

I know of Jews fleeing Israel, Jews fleeing Germany and the EU, Jews who are already members of intersecting vulnerable communities worldwide. We are being substantially damaged as a global people by the rise of fascism and militarism. We are by extension harming others by the refusal to repair the faults in ourselves. We need to admit that racism, militarism, and colonialism are not definitionally core to Jewish identity. Jewish identity is a fraught topic (as it is often forced into christian words) but I hope we can agree on none of that being crucial. Just one thing: no more denial! We are a part of the broken world.

A few months ago, the conservative party came to power in Valencia, Spain with the support of the far right. One of their first acts was to eliminate climate emergency services. At the end of October, flooding exacerbated by climate change killed over 200 people in the region.

Massive numbers of people mobilized horizontally to respond to the flooding through mutual aid. Despite their ties to the conservative government, far-right groups have tried to hijack popular anger over the state's failures. This is the classic strategy of fascists and demagogues: create a crisis, then try to capitalize on it.

We salute the anarchists and anti-fascists in Valencia organizing against the flood, the government, and the far right.

The sign in the attached images reads "We clear out politicians like we clear our mud"; the logo reads "We clear out fascism like we clear out mud." The photograph shows Valencia City Hall smeared with mud and graffiti calling the right-wing mayor a murderer.

Capitalism is the disaster! 🏴
