Why Democrats Should Be Talking About Community Schools
counterpunch.org/2025/08/22/wh…

"The Trump administration and Republican governors have a plan for the nation’s public education system. They call it school choice, but their real goal is to privatize the entire system, restrict access among marginalized communities, and dictate what’s taught, especially to low-income students of color. The Democratic Party’s vision,

The OPs implication is they're having a hard time convincing anyone to invest in US debt and so that means the gig is up, but seeing them struggle is arguably a good thing because they need to stop borrowing money for every goddamn stupid idea they think of.

But the national debt is like 30tn and this is 4bn, so paying back 0.013% of the national debt is not that big a deal...

You can literally grab your hard drive or SSD, plug it into another completely different PC, and still enjoy a fully functional install, with all your files, applications, and configurations.

Since the drivers for all the hardware Linux supports are in the kernel, you don't depend on what the manufacturer has preinstalled on your computer, and you don't have anything to install either when you move your disk to another PC.

The second thing is the ability to replace parts of your operating system with others, that fit your needs better. Windows and macOS are one size fits all operating systems; they're designed to provide a good enough experience for everyone. On Linux, you can pick a distro that fits your needs out of the box, or you can replace components. Get a other file manager, get a different window manager, change the init system...

Third, we have the live USB, or Live CD. This is something only Linux based operating systems do. You slap a reasonably sized ISO onto a reasonably sized USB drive, and you boot from it, and you get a fully usable system.

Not only can you try before you install, which is crucial when you're deciding what will run on your PC, but you can also have a distro that ONLY runs through a Live USB, like Tails, which means your whole system is in your pocket, and you can boot from it from any computer you want.

Have you tried running Windows on a 10 year old computer? Or even older? The latest, still supported version of Windows? Good luck, without spending time building a custom ISO to debloat the OS, and crossing your fingers for drivers to exist for your old hardware and that specific version of Windows. On a Mac, it's even less doable, the latest version of macOS supports at most the mac pro from 2013, and that was a very powerful, expensive device when it released.

On Linux? No problem, pick a distro that's lightweight, and enjoy your old computer like it was new. You'll get patches, security fixes, the very latest applications if you want them, but your system will run fine. If what you want is an OS that occupies the least amount of space possible? You also can.

Fifth thing you can do on Linux but not on Windows or macOS? Driverless printer support. On Linux, printers are detected automatically, and work out of the box. No driver CD to try and fit in your computer that doesn't have a CD drive anymore, no need to download anything from the internet.
You plug it in, and you print.

Next is UI and UX customization. Windows and macOS can't be customized visually. Not out of the box, not more than light or dark theme, and an accent color. If you want to change the icons, the general theme, the layout of the desktop, you can't.

With Linux, all major desktop environments let you change how your system looks or works. Yes, even GNOME. With extensions, and themes, you can have a radically different experience than the default.

Next, is no vendor Lock-in. On Linux, you're free to move to anything else. Once your distro is end of life, and won't receive any patches, you can upgrade for free to the next version, or, if you don't like that new version, you can also just decide to change distributions entirely.

On Linux, you could even BUY extended support to keep a distro alive and patched even when the distro's developer have abandoned it.

Iran Slams U.S. Sanctions on ICC Judges as ‘Complicity in Genocide’ iranpress.com/content/309145

Subway rolls ruled too sugary to be bread

Under Ireland's VAT Act of 1972, ingredients in bread such as sugar and fat should not exceed 2% of the weight of flour in the dough.
\
The five judges, who were considering an appeal by Bookfinders Ltd, a Subway franchisee based near Galway, concluded that in Subway sandwiches the sugar content is around 10% of the flour in the dough for both white and wholegrain rolls.
\
It is not the first time Subway's bread has been in the spotlight. In 2014, the company announced it was removing azodicarbonamide - the so-called "yoga mat" chemical - from its rolls.
\
The chemical is used to whiten flour and improve the condition of dough. It is also used to make vinyl foam products such as yoga mats and the underlay for carpets.
\
Subway stopped using the agent six years ago but the

Pentingnya Publikasi Online Saat Ini


Pada periode era daring yang selalu berubah, publikasi daring telah menjadi sebuah strategi komunikasi dan marketing yang berdampak besar bagi personal, usaha, maupun institusi. Bukan lagi sekadar alternatif, penyebaran konten online kini menjadi kebutuhan mendesak untuk menggapai target pasar yang luas, membangun kredibilitas, serta memperkuat kehadiran brand secara terus-menerus di banyak platform internet.

Distribusi konten digital mengacu pada kegiatan mendistribusikan materi secara daring melalui beragam saluran online, seperti situs web, publikasi online, platform sosial, media informasi online, dan media online lainnya. Materi yang disajikan bisa berupa artikel, pandangan, siaran pers, hasil penelitian, hingga konten visual atau visualisasi data. Fokus utamanya adalah mengomunikasikan informasi tertentu kepada masyarakat umum atau segmen pasar secara real-time, praktis, dan berkelanjutan.

Satu dari sekian banyak kelebihan utama dari penyiaran digital adalah luas distribusinya yang tanpa batas oleh batas geografis. Jika dikontraskan dengan surat kabar yang bersifat lokal di lokasi spesifik, penyebaran digital membuka peluang bagi data menjangkau siapa saja yang terkoneksi dengan jaringan web, sewaktu-waktu dan dimanapun berada. Ini menjadi kelebihan signifikan besar bagi entitas komersial dan pekerja profesional yang ingin memperbesar jangkauannya, baik secara nasional maupun global.

Tak hanya itu, tempo distribusi juga menjadi pertimbangan kenapa penayangan digital sangat terkenal. Secara instan, data dapat menjangkau ke jumlah besar hingga masyarakat luas. Berbeda dengan metode konvensional yang membutuhkan masa berhari-hari bahkan berminggu-minggu. Cepatnya distribusi ini sangat signifikan dalam kondisi respons darurat, peluncuran produk, atau promosi daring yang memerlukan tanggapan segera dari audiens.

Dari sisi biaya, penyebaran konten digital juga cenderung lebih murah. Banyak platform digital yang menawarkan fitur tanpa biaya atau dengan tarif rendah untuk menayangkan informasi. Bahkan untuk publikasi berbayar seperti advertorial di portal digital, budget yang dibutuhkan masih masuk akal daripada iklan di majalah atau TV nasional. Ini memberi kesempatan signifikan bagi usaha kecil, startup, hingga personal branding untuk mendapatkan visibilitas tanpa harus mengeluarkan anggaran besar.

Optimasi mesin pencari atau strategi pencarian organik juga menjadi elemen utama dalam strategi penyebaran konten digital. Konten yang dimuat di situs web atau weblog, jika diperkuat dengan optimal menggunakan keyword yang berkaitan, dapat naik peringkat di ranking teratas Google dan mendorong traffic organik secara besar. Hal ini tentu menghasilkan dampak positif jangka panjang, mengingat artikel yang masuk indeks di mesin pencari dapat terus terlihat dan dibaca dalam durasi panjang, tanpa bayar ulang.

Namun penyiaran digital yang optimal tidak hanya perkara menulis dan menayangkan informasi. Harus ada perencanaan strategis, dimulai dengan riset audiens, penentuan platform yang relevan, hingga penyesuaian bahasa penulisan dan bentuk penulisan. Ilustrasinya, tulisan di media bisnis perlu diatur lebih resmi daripada konten untuk media visual yang umumnya tidak formal dan berbasis gambar. Sama halnya dengan menetapkan waktu unggah yang relevan terhadap pola akses pemirsa sasaran agar engagement lebih optimal.

Tingkat percaya audiens terhadap informasi yang diposting juga menjadi unsur utama. Karena alasan tersebut, memilih media penayangan yang berintegritas seperti situs digital populer atau media yang memiliki nama baik akan memberikan keunggulan. Materi yang naik di situs kredibel tidak hanya menambah kepercayaan identitas bisnis, tapi juga menumbuhkan kepercayaan prospek customer atau rekan usaha.

Tidak kalah penting, penyebaran konten digital memungkinkan hubungan timbal balik. Tak sama seperti sarana klasik yang hanya satu arah, konten online mengizinkan audiens memberikan respons secara seketika melalui komentar, suka, distribusi ulang, atau bahkan ruang tanya jawab. Hal ini menyediakan tempat bagi pemilik usaha dan content writer untuk menciptakan audiens loyal , mendapat masukan, dan mengasah strategi komunikasi secara konsisten.

Memahami aneka kelebihan yang ada, bukan hal aneh jika penyebaran konten digital kini merupakan komponen utama dari strategi media komunikasi modern. Untuk semua pihak yang ingin menegaskan eksistensi di era internet—apakah sebagai individu, praktisi, institusi, maupun nama usaha—menyusun strategi publikasi online yang terarah tidak lagi opsional, melainkan sesuatu yang wajib. Dengan cara yang efektif, publikasi digital bisa berperan sebagai media yang sangat kuat untuk membangun otoritas, meningkatkan jangkauan, dan membangun hubungan yang lebih dalam dengan pemirsa yang tepat sasaran.

PostmarketOS rant / plea for help


cross-posted from the Linux phones community as nobody there knew

Has anyone actually successfully installed PostmarketOS on an old device recently? I've had a long struggle through trying to prepare a Nexus 7 (2012) and the result seems to be a dead device before I even got to actually installing PostmarketOS.

The rough steps I followed are listed here:
- Create backups
- Get SBK
- Build and prepare U-Boot
- Actually flashing U-Boot seems to be where things went wrong
- Running ./run_bootloader.sh -s T30 -t ./bct/grouper.bct -b ../re-crypt/repart-block.bin or ./run_bootloader.sh -s T30 -t ./bct/grouper.bct -b ../generated-wheelie-blobs/AndroidRoot/blob.bin from fusee-tools hung on waiting for bootloader to initialize
- Running ./run_bootloader.sh -s T30 -t ./bct/grouper.bct -b ../u-boot/u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin failed like this
- skipping that step and running ./utils/nvflash_v1.13.87205 --resume --rawdevicewrite 0 1024 ../re-crypt/repart-block.bin hung on [resume mode]
- Consulting a different version of the docs and running ./wheelie --blob ./generated-wheelie-blobs/AndroidRoot/blob.bin seemed to work so I ran ./nvflash --resume --rawdevicewrite 0 1024 ./re-crypt/repart-block.bin which also seemed to work
- I then powered off as instructed and the device has been completely unresponsive since

I've tried connecting to a charger, disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, and every combination of holding down buttons but it appears to be completely dead. Any suggestions as to what I did wrong or anything I might be able to do now? Obviously it's not the end of the world to have lost a 13 year old tablet that was just gathering dust, but at the moment I'm not feeling positive about ever trying this again on another device!
