    Another living example of a different way: The Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria aka Rojava!

    Apologies podacst listeners for the late upload. I will be taking a break from the show this Friday 7th of August and returning to your eardrums on the 21st of August xLinux and Going your own way with your computersList of all the distributions of linux"Omg this is all too much, I want to start with something simple!"Well I have to agree that initially Linux and all the many dsitributions out there seem overwhelming. I personally use Linux-Mint as my needs are relativley simple and they have a more ethical reputation (as far as I am aware).YOU MUST FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS OR GET SOMEONE TO HELP YOU. NEVER DOWNLOAD FROM A THIRD PARTY. ALWAYS DOWNLOAD YOUR SOFTWARE DIRECTLY FROM THE DISTRIBUTOR AND FOLLOW THEIR SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS.Linux and Artificial IntelligenceUnfortunatley, the open-source world is split on AI use. The code and software that has been maintained by human beings for these distributions is now seeing ai-generated code in use. So do your best to research and chat to your linux nerd friends. RojavaWhen I started listening to 3CR show like the SUWA Show (Squatters and Unwaged Airwaves) that blew me away. It was surreal to hear radical politics and disscusions from local communities coming out of my little radio. As we are celebrating 3CR's 50th and I'm exploring countires which break out of the little boxes I talk about on the show. People oragnising from the bottom-up, living in community, growing their own food and not lawns, what's not to love?You can continue to hear amazing unwaged content right across our programming but if you want dedicated programs then I highly recommend Breadline and Slacker Radio.Here is the full original SUWA Episode:https://www.3cr.org.au/suwa/episode-201811161730/doing-it-ourselves-lessons-rojava

    Kicking Fences with Greens Candidate Brittney Henderson "Britt on the Ballot"

    Brittney Henderson interview begins at 11 minutes and 59 secondsBrittney Henderson is a queer, Wiradjuri Bunerong person, and Greens candidate for the Western Melbourne Metropolitan area. Listen to hear the about the environmental, public transport, "cost of living" and First Nations issues, that they are campaigning on.  InstagramNational Indigenous Times Have you ever heard the phrase "Manufacturing Consent?" It comes from a famous book called Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of Mass Media by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky (yes, that Noam Chomsky :\ ). The book breaks down how media filters information in order to serve the political and economic agenda of "the establishment" (the people with all the power and money). The NDIS is a fantastic example, how many times have you heard people around you criticise it for being 'expensive,' 'inefficient,' full of people who 'aren't really disabled' etc? These are made the only talking points and given validity by even the 'government gilded' ABC. The government defunds it over successive budgets to fufil the prophecy. Humanity and dignity are stripped from the conversation and people are convinced that NDIS cuts are necessary and that the private system will somehow be better (which we know is an inherently inequitable system).We then find ourselves here, operating within the acceptable terms defined by the establishment media. Our debate becomes narrowed. So in this episode I spend some time sharing my thoughts on this way of framing things. When we think about it we take so many things for granted about our reality. We accept so much in society but do we really question it? Are we finding ourselves arguing within the paradigm created by those in power and on the right? How can we challenge that paradigm in our everyday conversations?MusicKill Your Lawn and Kick You Fence intro sting by Tilde Joy and Amy Aednat CiaraLittle Boxes by Malvina ReynoldsThe Price of Eggs by Carsie Blanton and The Burning Hells
