  • check out the authors credentials, i think they were a secretary to a prime minister and a premier

    oh yeah, here:

    Gerald Butts is vice chairman of Eurasia Group, a global geopolitical risk firm headquartered in New York. He was principal secretary to the Prime Minister of Canada and the Premier of Ontario

  • CANADA IS ONE of the most successful countries in the history of the world. The evidence is too considerable to summarize, but from the UN Human Development Index, through the Global Peace Index’s measure of security, to Freedom House’s assessment of country-level liberty, and even the World Economic Forum Competitiveness Index, Canada ranks near the top of every comparative spreadsheet of good things humans could possibly hope to enjoy. We are, by most objective measures, one of the wealthiest, healthiest, safest, freest places on the planet.

    But, man, you would never know it.

    Can anyone share their experience with Asahi as a Daily Driver?

    hi, I've been pretty happy with macOS recently on my m1 MacBook, really only because I've been paying for software from awesome devs who make great apps (plenty are open source, so most I use are not paid) and I've found my productivity increase like a lot.

    It's like I'm fighting less with the computer and the OS, and sorta working together with it. Since it's a mac though it's still a pain. When I install things with brew or software straight from the dev I need to do this dance to be able to use it (since it's from an 'unidentified' developer).

    I wanted to try out Asahi, I saw that there was a new version released recently, any folks here who daily drive it and could share their experience? This is currently my main machine so I'm a bit hesitant in swapping over (I guess I could dual boot?) and school is out atm so I have a bit of time to troubleshoot and feel comfortable in a new environment.

    thanks in advance~

    Software for a knowledgebase and stuff for a small NGO?

    Background

    Hi all, I'm part of a small NGO which has a long history but small membership due to some unfortunate events in the past. The membership was almost in the thousands across the country it's in, and now it's only in the dozens. Other orgs siphoned off members, a split happened (which didn't go anywhere) and there was a scandal that saw more people leave or resign.

    This is all to say that the members of the NGO are a bit older and not very knowledgeable about technology. We use forms and take minutes during our meetings. We have in-person events, including educational, discussion, helping out other orgs, pamphleting, putting up posters, and use social media and to advertise.

    Our membership is growing again but this time we are looking to be organized. Using stuff like a shared events calendar and a mailing list (right now it's a bunch of emails in a word doc that are copy pasted in gmail). Logging our experiences during events and creating maps for our postering runs. Ide

    What novel methods of organizing might there be?

    cross-posted from: https://hexbear.net/post/432724

    I'm part of a local organization in the imperial core. I like the people there and they are all very well read and have a good understanding of theory, much more than myself.

    The methods used to organize seem a bit dated and I'm not quite sure why. To give an example, people are expected to contact one another to let them know about whether events are happening or not. I think this is great, when I first joined this helped make it feel more personable. It felt like there was already a development of camaraderie since there was a name and a face behind every message that I knew. This doesn't always work though, since some members don't always remember and don't remind others and there isn't a definitive list of members. It's more so word of mouth and the different people who are in someone's recent text messages.

    Something like this could definitely be more well organized right? When I brought up working on some kind of sp
