There is not a single “Pro US” belief. I would say most people on both sides of the political spectrum truly believe they are “Pro US.” Everyone has a different perspective on what is best for the country, and it really depends on what part of that country you’re from and what your priorities are.

In this context, I’m really not sure. Perhaps they meant they prioritizing American users? Perhaps they meant prioritizing the US economy on the global stage? I’m really not sure.

In any case, we are happy to have you here!

It’s about taking funds out of the entire system of public’s schools. First of all, I’m not comfortable with my tax dollars going to a private, for profit, institution instead of benefitting a system for everyone. Second, what do you think would happen if every child went to a different school district, especially in an underprivileged area? The underprivileged school, which is likely already dysfunctional in AZ, gets defunded. Students left there, who perhaps do not have an attentive guardian are stuck with an underfunded, extremely poor quality of education.

Idk about other states, but in the case of AZ, school choice is not working. The schools are getting worse.

I know what you’re talking about NY and red for Ed. Look, I don’t really like how unions works in this country. I do think public school teachers should be well paid and well incentivized. They are teaching the next generation after all.

Regardless of your opinion of what they should be paid, and how dysfunctional it may be, the NY public school system is SO much better than the one in AZ. I urge you to look up some articles on the topic. For example, teachers don’t even need a college degree in AZ! Based on my experience, the worst schools in NY are at least comparable, if not better than the best schools in AZ. I also do not believe public schools have a monopoly on education. There are still many very successful private schools in NY and many people send their kids their if they have the money. IMO, this is how it should be.

I’m an American and I approve this message.

Nix.

Charter schools and the voucher system are literally the single worst thing to happen to the state of Arizona.

What does he think is going to happen if he gets out of the settlement? The evidence seems pretty damning. If he was found guilty he would probably have to pay massive fines and likely devalue his shares in Tesla and his overall net worth.

Brother is pretty analogous and you can refill the toner cartridges!

Get off Chrome. It might be used by most, but it collects so much information and Google is neutering ad blockers. Not to mention that not using Firefox contributes to the monoculture of webkit and blink, which has a long list of problems. Overall, Firefox is better for users and the web overall.

Definitely Taylor Lorenz. She’s almost always on trending, but she’s a journalist always posting about twitter and musk’s controversies, very interesting content.

We Distribute is kind of like a publication about the fediverse. Great content.

Linus Torvalds. This one’s pretty obvious.

But I’m still looking too! If you’re into tech, you will almost definitely find something for you on mastodon, especially free software. Good luck!

What app is that?

Nix OS, Guix or Vanilla OS for sandboxing I guess. But basically everything but Ubuntu is pretty good for privacy, it’s a big part of free software philosophy.

It all depends and your budget and priorities. If you care about coreboot and Intel ME, go with system76 or an old thinkpad. Otherwise, Dell latitudes and new thinkpads are sufficient. Based on your description, I think system76 would be the way to go, but you might also want to check out a thinkpad p52.
