Starting a second read of @LynnAlden‘s #book Broken Money - it was really good and now I want to soak up some additional details I likely missed the first time through.

For now, #justice has prevailed! There is no place for the #military in the policing of civilians. I highly respect our service members, but our laws and constitution say this is not their job… plus they aren’t even needed in #Oregon. Stay strong #PDX!

#Meshtastic on #Commodore sounds like a really fun combination!

Stay strong #PDX and don’t give the feds a reason to portray you in an unrealistic manner. The Rose City is an amazing place and I can’t imagine any realistic reason why the deployment of troops would be warranted.

Remembering all those who died on this day 24 years ago. #911

I’m so disgusted by yet another blatant war crime by #Israel yesterday. It sickens me that nothing more than a finger wag is actually being done by anyone in a position to convince them this is not okay, and not even that is done by the US administration. Absolutely disgusting and ridiculous.

Well this is nice to see

I’m looking forward to merchants accepting #Lightning instead of always having to give Visa or Mastercard a cut

After trying #Fedora, I jumped over to #Ubuntu yesterday because a few commercial apps I really want are only packaged for it. I again added #Hyprland tricked out via https://github.com/JaKooLit/Ubuntu-Hyprland/ and like it for the most part, but am not sure it'll stick... we shall see. I still want to make some adjustments based on #Omarchy and integrate what I can from my #NixOS setup.

I spent some time tonight distro hopping and decided to roll with #Fedora Workstation #KDE, and to supplement it with #Hyprland tricked out via https://github.com/JaKooLit/Fedora-Hyprland/

I'm also taking inspiration from some other places such as #Omarchy and combining it all with what I can from my #NixOS setup.

I'm bummed that #Google doesn't let #RCS messages function on #LineageOS
