solariplex, (edited ) to memes in It's a simple world view

I’m not a native English speaker, so there may be some nuance I miss out on. But as far as I can tell, the implication of what you wrote was

  • "Cuba is isolated because it wants to be"
  • “Doctors are fleeing Cuba in large numbers”
  • “Conditions are bad in Cuba”
  • “The US gets alot of doctors from abroad”

I have good knowledge on point 1, limited knowledge on points 2&4, and somewhat decent info about point 2. I’m not disputing points 2,3&4.

It’s very misleading to say that “Cuba is keeping itself isolated”. Each year the UN votes to end the embargo/isolation imposed on Cuba by the US, with the vast majority of countries voting in favour of ending the blockade each time.

In the latest vote, in November, only Israel and USA voted against ending the blockade. Ukraine abstained. 187 member states voted in favour of ending the blockade

Make no mistake, the US is what has kept Cuba unjustly isolated for the past decades. Source: news.un.org/en/story/2023/11/1143112

The US sees anything that could shake their narrative of the world as a threat, even when that ‘threat’ is unfounded, and they massively abuse their economic and military power around the globe to keep others in line.

solariplex, to neurodivergence in How do you deal with disability discrimination at work?

That’s unfortunate. I’m not sure what the situation is at your location, but here in Norway literally every type of work from cleaning shores, through industry and even CEOs, have their respective union. So there might be a relevant union for your workplace, still. Safety for the employees lies in numbers.

In the short term though, I’d recommend reaching out to a local/regional union-of-interest, like a “disabilities-in-the-workplace” watchdog organization.

Your boss&CO sound willing to infantilize you, if it becomes a case, so solid evidence of their conduct is important. though let’s hope your emails solved it, and makes them realize their wrongs.

Keep recordings of all work meetings the coming year

  • keep your phone in your pocket, make sure your phone mic is pointed in the right direction, and test sound quality beforehand. Garble is not useful for anything.
  • if possible, you should have a ‘panic’ button sequence on your phone, to hide/stop recording.
  • do not admit you have faults not caused by your condition, on tape!
  • You have the right to know who will be part of a meeting, and what the meeting is about, beforehand. They can still spring a meeting on you, if they don’t care.

Are you in a union with your coworkers?

If so, if you get called into any (non-open-to-everyone) meetings the coming weeks/months, make sure your union rep is right there with you.

If not, you should unionize

solariplex, to linux in Fedora Kinoite Nightly available with Plasma 6 to test!

Definitely the transition from QT5 to QT6. It Looks identical, but has better wayland support and performance.

There are also a few new and hot features which I can’t recount at the moment (it’s 4:30 in the morning), but the pointieststick blog should have the droids you’re searching for

Niceeeee! I’ve tested a few KF6 apps in a rawhide+nightly copr distrobox on Kinoite, and they’re quick

solariplex, to privacy in Looking for FOSS android TV (or something like Kodi, but dumber)

Aren’t most of those at best vulnerable as a leaf in the wind; and at worst literal hacker gateways to your home?

solariplex, to linux in Tux Machines — It's False: Those Are Not Alternatives to LibreOffice. They're Proprietary or Not Maintained.

Yeah, when I first got into Linux and FOSS I’d read their articles to get oriented. Even followed them on Mastodon. For a time, the articles and content were good, but after a while I noticed a decline in quality and more talk about proprietary things.

Nowadays, I’ve muted ItsFOSS on Mastodon and actively avoid reading their articles, because they run so many paid placements and low quality stories with non-free things placed front-and-center.

Glad I’m not the only one of this opinion. Let’s hope ItsFOSS changes

solariplex, to diy in weekly - er, monthly? - What's Up?

I’m working on free software to do real-time translation of speeches at conferences and such, from Norwegian to English or {insert language}.

Using Whisper and TTS on a server, and a web interface accessed on the participants’ smartphone/device.

True, although this can be alliviated by working in a worker-owned cooperative business
