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.

Very engaging read

Nooooo

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

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.

Neat stuff!

These are the people who kill us

Beautiful :) Is this in Olympiapark?

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

The EU too

Historically, much of the renewable energy infrastructure (dams, wind turbines) in Brazil has come at an unnecessarily high cost to human rights and indigenous people’s rights.

My country’s (Norway) state-owned electrical power company Statkraft operates many projects in Latin America, and has employed shady tactics like divide-and-conquer on local communities.

We need more reneweable power, but our pursuit of it must be equitable. I sincerely hope Brazil (and Statkraft/SN Power) improves in this regard

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?

Well, sort of. There are plenty of laws that don’t need to be accepted by all UN member states, in order to be effective.

If you get a majority of states, the UN can maybe make it official law for all UN member states. This opens up the possibility of international sanctions being placed on all states that don’t follow the law.

Certainly, even if every rich guy and shady corp in the world placed their hidden wealth in your country; you might still want to be allowed to trade with other countries, and not have your government leaders jailed if they ever set foot outside of your borders

Hurray! Now we just need the majority of other states, too. It’s certainly a step towards a brighter future

Well the risk is shared among all members, as well as the rewards. As a founding member, you have more risk at the start, but that risk scales down as the operation scales up.

You’re more likely to have worker’s cooperatives that fulfill actual needs, either in local society or the participants’ lives, than capitalist firms. Less damage.

This is partly due to how there’s little incentive for aggressive profit extraction since the workers, who control the coop, often live nearby. Would you actively choose to make things worse for yourself and your neighbours, to get some more money in your pocket?

Far from all activity in the world needs a person who wants to get rich, spearheading them.

We have organizations in civil society too, don’t we?

This is rule 28, just $(99-28) rules to go 🎵
