As Christians around the world celebrate Easter Sunday,
we go to Palestine to speak to Reverend Munther Isaac,
pastor of the Lutheran Church in Ramallah and director of the Bethlehem Institute for Peace and Justice,
located in the city of Jesus Christ’s birth.
This year’s Easter preparations come against the backdrop of the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran,
which many Christian nationalists in the U.S., including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth,
are framing in ext…

This is a Pioneer Stereo Receiver SX-850 from just about 50 years ago.
It’s not spying on you.
It doesn’t need firmware updates.
There’s no subscription.
It’s widely compatible with other audio equipment from other manufacturers.
It won’t suddenly decide you can’t listen to explicit lyrics anymore.
It won’t “autocorrect” you, interrupt you with notifications or get hijacked by a botnet.
If a component breaks, it’s pretty easy fixable, even by amateurs.
It still works great, sounds great and looks great and it will probably do so for another 50 years. It’s a piece of useful electronics that you can hand down for literally generations.
Can you do this with modern technology?
Why is modern technology considered “better”?

I couldn't care less about a bunch of rich people in Brooklyn, I just read the article for the delicious drama. However, about halfway through the article, I started to see so many #FreeSoftware parallels.
1) Volunteers spend countless unpaid hours creating/maintaining something to better their community.
2) For-profit business packages it up as part of their offering.

"I've lived in the neighborhood since November 2020, we bought a house," Ria Harracksingh, an Elite Minds parent and the school's director of operations, told Hell Gate. "So, when the garden started to really just be stonewalling us, it became not about the kids. For me, it became about, 'Hey, I pay a ton of property taxes. We pay a ton of income tax there. These dollars are going to this garden that won't even let me access it as an individual!' So it became pretty personal on that front, too."
"I think from their perspective, making noise and contacting everybody they can about this is going to speed things up," Jonathan Stead, the garden's community partnership coordinator, said. "If anything, it slowed things down because our limited time has gone to responding to them, responding to GreenThumb about accusations that they're making about us, and discussing the Post story. This is all time that we could have devoted to try and get this done."

"At the beginning, we didn't even see…
"It wasn't an option for us to continue the status quo, which was, I guess, [Elite Minds teachers] had a key and would come and go as they pleased," he said. "For organizations, it's a separate process, and it's not something community gardens have to do, but we chose to do it. It's been an enormous amount of work to try to get the process put together." Stead told Hell Gate that Urban Meadow and GreenThumb have been trading a draft of the new policy back and forth, but that due to time constra…
"Misconceptions about what community gardens even are, fundamentally, are pretty rampant," Roopa Kalyanaraman Marcello, another Urban Meadow coordinator, mused. "People just don't know that community gardens are not parks. They are very different from a New York City park. When I'm in Urban Meadow, the playground is right next door, and I see the lovely Parks Department folks in there cleaning up, taking the trash out. And I'm just like, 'I wish you would come in here and do that!' But no one h…

While I wouldn't support all the Spanish government's economic policies, given that like everywhere else, they are GDP growth oriented, it is interesting to see how unemployment, including youth unemployment, in all sectors, keeps falling. And it's not done by limiting workers' rights

Now, inevitably, half of my Bluesky timeline is like:
oh, we need a service that’s resistant to this sort of shit,
something that’s not beholden to capitalist pressure,
something that’s queer-friendly and furry-friendly
-- quickly followed by "but don’t say Mastodon!"
Sorry, I’m saying it.
Mastodon. We want fucking Mastodon.
It’s run by an actual non-profit foundation,
none of this “public benefit corporation” bullshit.
