If the whole Windows Recall thing scares you and you are looking for options: For many people Linux just does the trick. If you need a browser, some office stuff, maybe a bit of image/media management, Linux absolutely got you covered. It probably will be annoying or something might be broken but that is the same with every operating system.

But before you install something, maybe have a chat with someone who knows a bit more about it to help you navigate the choices and to ensure that your workload is actually supported on Linux.

But it's no longer an OS just for experts. You can do almost anything graphically and a lot of shit just works.

@tante I'm fairly impressed at the work that's gone into making games work - I do have a variety of games that I've purchased through Steam and it looks like a fair number of them would be OK on Linux.

Other concerns that I have include Zoom videoconferencing and tax software.

I'd really like to avoid having to move to Windows 11 after Windows 10 patches stop happening.

BREAKING: area high school students have engaged in a coordinated walkout and are blocking Mass Ave outside

@lin11c @ifnotnowboston The issue is that the hard right wants the scalp of MIT's President, and she just got hauled in front of a GOP-led Congressional hearing, so she's incentivized to attack her own students to demonstrate how pro-Zionist she is and keep her job. https://www.forbes.com/sites/mollybohannon/2023/12/13/house-passes-resolution-urging-harvard-mit-presidents-to-resign-after-tense-campus-antisemitism-hearing/?sh=14647a2c3f7f

@poligraf @palestine FYI for people looking for more information specific to the Stanford student movement, the students appear to be using the Stanford Against Apartheid in Palestine Instagram account from January:

https://www.instagram.com/sit_in_to_stop_genocide/

That page has some posts about current (April 28) daily protest content, so somebody is clearly updating that account. I'm unable to find other current social media pages or a web site for the current student efforts.

@poligraf @palestine And consistent with a national pattern of administrative hostility to students calling for justice, Stanford University is threatening arrests.

"Stanford officials threaten to arrest protesters camping on campus plaza"

Ah OK, I was reading it with a browser that has cookies disabled and it worked. I've now added a non-paywalled version of the same story hosted on MSN.

@poligraf @palestine

As an update on this, my wife received additional information from a Stanford Jewish Voice for Peace member:

"Students have been occupying White Plaza since [April 25]... Community members can follow updates, see daily programming, and see what students need by checking @stanfordsjp and @sit_in_to_stop_genocide on Instagram. Reach out directly if you can support by providing an educational workshop or security!"
