    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
