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.

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.

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

True, although this can be alliviated by working in a worker-owned cooperative business

You can download configuration files (wireguard preferably) from your protonvpn account in a web browser. Open the network manager (idk what steam mode uses, but this should work in desktop mode) and add a wireguard connection. Add the private key, add the peer and its public key, add the dns. Save. When you need it, simply connect to it like a regular network, in addition to your wifi of course.

This has served me well on Fedora Atomic workstation with KDE for years :)

I’ve also used a pinetime running infinitime for the past year, and I agree that it’s not exactly feature rich. I like it though.

I’ve heard that ‘bangle.js’ is an open source watch as well, with a decent feature set.

Great post! I’ve often used low cost as an argument for choosing open source software in my [IRL] communities, as the other advantages aren’t that successful when talking to people on a personal level. This post elaborates on those other advantages in a convincing way.
