...but also (on thinking further) on building systems to make it easier for indy artists to be heard/seen and bring in revenue.
(That's actually a pretty old hobby-horse I haven't ridden in awhile, mainly because of all the other nonsense going on. Yes, I have ideas.)
...but being sure to bring with them full documentation of what happened in this timeline, so we can learn from it without being culturally traumatized by the horrors.

@douginamug That's the "ignorance" factor at work, yeah -- it would exist without any encouragement, but it's pretty well-documented that there are agencies hard at work encouraging it wherever they can.
@douginamug My take is that most of it is induced rage coming from fossil industry propaganda.
Perhaps the industry decided to pick on one thing at a time, to focus the ignorance available (much more limited in the EU than here in the US, where we are clearly the greatest at ignorance) on a single target -- or maybe as an experiment to see which one got more traction, so they could repeat that success in other countries.
@flamingspork My first thought was "panorama mode!" (on a smartphone) -- but I suspect your technique gets better results :D
@rnd I think I'd say that a good rule for empathy would be something like "default to helping, but don't let betrayal go unnoticed".

@pseudonym @cwebber Ehh, I've always lived for -- had to live for -- the future, because I've never really found much enjoyment in the "now".
@cwebber P.S. I could make a smol list of things that, to me, look better now than they were when I was growing up in the 1970s/1980s.
@JoBlakely Lois is Very Good.
(I'm a particular fan of the Vorkosigan series, which is mainly about a disabled white male in a very militaristic culture, but has lots of really good female characters -- including some who take front and center in individual stories -- and kind-of-starts with a pair of stories about the main series' protagonist's mom. ...and there's also a 200-years-earlier prequel about using engineering to break away from corporate despotism...)
@cwebber I'm disinclined to agree with this prediction, though we are clearly in for a hell of a ride before things start getting better.
@xdydx I'll check on those possibilities and get back to you... 😅

@JoBlakely The protagonist of this story has a grown daughter, maybe that's close enough? Caveat: this is the second book in the series, and I found it much more relatable after reading the first book -- in which that same woman spends most of the story metaphorically locked in the attic for being "mad".
I feel like there are more I know of, but they're not springing readily to mind. :-/
...oh, maybe this fits the bill? I always pictured the author/protagonist as older, but I don't remember if age was mentioned specifically. Enough time goes by during the course of the (real-life) story, however, that she's almost certainly old enough at some point.
@brooke I'm thinking it probably also applies less to Linux than those other OSes that some people use -- but I don't want to get too complacent about that.
(A little complacent is fine, of course. >.>)
My conclusion is that we need to be more aggressive about covertly sharing copyrighted media.
