25 ways to be a little more punk in 2025

Cut fast fashion - buy used, learn to mend and/or make your own clothes, buy fewer clothes less often so you can save up for ethically made quality

Cancel subscriptions - relearn how to pirate media, spend $10/month buying a digital album from a small artist instead of on Spotify, stream on free services since the paid ones make you watch ads anyway

Green your community - there's lots of ways to do this, like seedbombing or joining a community garden or organizing neighborhood trash pickups

Be kind - stop to give directions, check on stopped cars, smile at kids, let people cut you in line, offer to get stuff off the high shelf, hold the door, ask people if they're okay

Intervene - learn bystander intervention techniques and be prepared to use them, even if it feels awkward

Get closer to your food - grow it yourself, can and preserve it, buy from a farmstand, learn where it's from, go fishing, make it from scratch, learn a new ingredient

Use opensource software - try LibreOffice, try Reaper, learn Linux, use a free Photoshop clone. The next time an app tries to force you to pay, look to see if there's an opensource alternative

Make less trash - start a compost, be mindful of packaging, find another use for that plastic, make it a challenge for yourself!

Get involved in local politics - show up at meetings for city council, the zoning commission, the park district, school boards; fight the NIMBYs that always show up and force them to focus on the things impacting the most vulnerable folks in your community

DIY > fashion - shake off the obsession with pristine presentation that you've been taught! Cut your own hair, use homemade cosmetics, exchange mani/pedis with friends, make your own jewelry, duct tape those broken headphones!

Ditch Google - Chromium browsers (which is almost all of them) are now bloated spyware, and Google search sucks now, so why not finally make the jump to Firefox and another search like DuckDuckGo? Or put the Wikipedia app on your phone and look things up there?

Forage - learn about local edible plants and how to safely and sustainably harvest them or go find fruit trees and such accessible to the public.

Volunteer - every week tutoring at the library or once a month at the humane society or twice a year serving food at the soup kitchen, you can find something that matches your availability

Help your neighbors - which means you have to meet them first and find out how you can help (including your unhoused neighbors), like elderly or disabled folks that might need help with yardwork or who that escape artist dog belongs to or whether the police have been hassling people sleeping rough

Fix stuff - the next time something breaks (a small appliance, an electronic, a piece of furniture, etc.), see if you can figure out what's wrong with it, if there are tutorials on fixing it, or if you can order a replacement part from the manufacturer instead of trashing the whole thing

Mix up your transit - find out what's walkable, try biking instead of driving, try public transit and complain to the city if it sucks, take a train instead of a plane, start a carpool at work

Engage in the arts - go see a local play, check out an art gallery or a small museum, buy art from the farmer's market

Go to the library - to check out a book or a movie or a CD, to use the computers or the printer, to find out if they have other weird rentals like a seed library or luggage, to use meeting space, to file your taxes, to take a class, to ask question

Listen local - see what's happening at local music venues or other events where local musicians will be performing, stop for buskers, find a favorite artist, and support them

Buy local - it's less convenient than online shopping or going to a big box store that sells everything, but try buying what you can from small local shops in your area

Become unmarketable - there are a lot of ways you can disrupt your online marketing surveillance, including buying less, using decoy emails, deleting or removing permissions from apps that spy on you, checking your privacy settings, not clicking advertising links, and...

Use cash - go to the bank and take out cash instead of using your credit card or e-payment for everything! It's better on small businesses and it's untraceable

Give what you can - as capitalism churns on, normal shmucks have less and less, so think about what you can give (time, money, skills, space, stuff) and how it will make the most impact

Talk about wages - with your coworkers, with your friends, while unionizing! Stop thinking about wages as a measure of your worth and talk about whether or not the bosses are paying fairly for the labor they receive

Think about wealthflow - there are a thousand little mechanisms that corporations and billionaires use to capture wealth from the lower class: fees for transactions, interest, vendor platforms, subscriptions, and more. Start thinking about where your money goes, how and where it's getting captured and removed from our class, and where you have the ability to cut off the flow and pass cash directly to your fellow working class people

building an opensource collection of 'net services

hi there! im mia :) im a computer nerd with too much time on her hands.

im making this post to bring a project of mine into the world; a fully opensource and collaborative collection of online tools. this will grow over time, but for now, there is one thing active and two planned. (read on below)

CalicoDrive

a nextcloud instance! currently offering a bunch of very useful things:

50GB of free cloud storage

a Markdown notetaking tool

a shareable, open calendar

a photo gallery

web bookmark storage, and

some organisation and collaboration tools.

many of the cloud storage services we rely on are corporate, and require exorbitantly priced subscriptions. alongside that, data on them is often subject to a huge array of impenetrable terms/conditions.

what makes this different? firstly, your data is controlled by you. it is entirely encrypted on disk and can only be decrypted with your selected password. you own the data the same way you would were it on an external hard drive or flashstick.

secondly- its free! while you can pay 20$ once off or 5$ a month to upgrade storage quota and support the project, the core of it is entirely and utterly free to use.

matrix.calicocore

(full disclaimer- this service isn't online yet. it's planned to be active within the next month at the very maximum, very likely sooner.)

what's matrix? i am absolutely sure you've heard of IRC- internet relay chat. im also sure you've heard of discord.

matrix is a modern federated chat protocol- if you took the best of IRC, and you took the best of Discord, and combined them into an opensource and *free* protocol for real-time messaging? that's matrix, baby!

matrix functions similarly to the fediverse (more on that later). when you sign up, you select a homeserver, which is the infrastructure your account is hosted on. your homeserver determines who you're federated with, your most easily accessible spaces, and the little tag at the end of your name.

so what's matrix.calicocore going to be? a homeserver! the idea here is to bring communication and community into our hands, and away from the hands of big tech corporations who really don't care about us. it'll be federated with other spaces and servers, and run collectively.

fedi.calicocore

if you've ever used mastodon, fedi.calicocore will be a server compatible with it. this is still in the very very early stages as a project, so i cant detail much, but stay tuned.

things to note, disclaimers, etc

this project is in its early days. i cant guarantee perfect stability, though it has been tested and run for a few days already. please don't expect a perfect replacement for existing services YET.

secondly, in regards to calicodrive; your data is fully encrypted in two ways, both within the nextcloud instance and on the physical spinning rust. this means if you majorly forget your password, there's a possibility of losing it- but that trade-off is worth it for the security.

this all sounds great! how can i sign up?

for now, this is the link to the nextcloud:

https://drive.calicocore.space

in the very near future, there'll be a central discussion space on the matrix, too, which you're encouraged to introduce yourself on!

lastly:

who is this for?

these services and tools are made by a disabled trans woman. they will prioritise people vulnerable on the current internet, and focus on building a safe space for trans, non-binary, and queer people; as well as disabled people and people of colour.

you can sign up if you are not one of these, however you will be expected to defer to the marginalised members and be generally respectful of the purpose of the space!

[ccrepitations]

You know what, I'll just ask:

Explanation about the Programming Hell my week has been:

So I started doing a few streams earlier this year reading books aloud. I had a camera on the pages while I read, I'd comment on stuff, used ReactBot a little, at one point a whole 4 people were there.

I've been going through some bad depression moods, and I still want to stream and share books but I dont think I can talk for that long when my mood makes me go nonverbal. I know part of the mood slump is related to not having basically any audience, and I know I won't gain an audience by only streaming once a month or so. So I need to keep streaming even when I'm feeling nonverbal.

The solution I thought of was using TTS (text-to-speech) on books I have saved to my PC, using something like Calibre to read them in the background. There's free to use open source voices, but I wanted to make my own so it still kinda sounded like me and didn't steal someone's likeness. I don't like the idea of making content using someone else's voice, so I looked into making one with my own.

First I looked at the paid programs with good UIs, but not only are they really fucking expensive, they also have hardcoded length limits even on the paid version. I can't get those to read a full book unless I only go at around 30 minutes of reading a month while paying up to $100 monthly to do it, which isn't really an option. I'm on disability, I can't afford that shit.

So I looked at the open source options bc open source means its free. My problem: I can't code to save my life and my experience in the past with programming forums like GitHub and Reddit has been people becoming condescending or hostile when I explain that I have been actively trying to learn to code for 10+ years and it never works. It's interpreted as me not trying or taking "the easy route" because I can't do even the simple stuff. I wish I could. I gave it an honest shot this time, I spent so much fucking time in my command prompt, typing in installs and running python commands, searching errors online to figure out what was going wrong, editing py files and json files and yaml files, learning how to use Audacity to read the metadata of my recordings and make sure they were the right MHz to use in training--and none of it worked. Even when everything I found on horribly formatted GitHub directories SAID it should have been working, it was just a big non functional pile of errors.

So I've given up on making a TTS clone with my voice bc I can't get these "easy codes" to work and the paid ones don't work for what I want or are ridiculously expensive (and mostly still have limits on usage length that mean they wouldnt work).

If anyone reads this and knows how to get these things working properly for cloning--Coqui, Tortoise, Piper, XTTS, any other open source one--reach out and let me know how to do it, because I really tried. Better yet, if you can prove you're trustworthy and are willing to do it, I would love you forever; I can't offer any payment bc I'm on permanent disability and can barely afford things like rent and food, but I would be eternally grateful and willing to draw you stuff and give you a shoutout if that's worth anything to you.

To anyone saying "Just learn to code, you can't give up after a week": This has been an ongoing thing. This is just the latest adventure in "Jasper is failing to learn Python at every turn", along with "why I hate Ren'Py" (that one's been ongoing for years now) and "GitHub has really user-unfriendly layouts" (ever since I got my Graphic Design degree 10 years ago)

Walking In Two Worlds & The Everlasting Road

YA sff set in the near future where an opensource augmented reality is commonly used like social media, and there’s also a completely virtual fantasy game version

follows an Anishinaabe girl who who’s the top player in the VR game, and is constantly fighting to keep her place against the misogynist neo-nazi group in second place

as well as her real life, dealing with being a shy and self-conscious teen growing up on the Rez, and her brother having cancer

and a Uyghur boy who’s moved to her community from China after finding acceptance in an online community (even when he doesn’t agree with their more extreme views) - but when he gets to know Bugz, he has to decide who truly deserves his loyalty

great mix of sff and culture, the future while also very real community traumas of the past (and present)

[folk-enjoyer]

in theory, i love wikipedia as a large opensource encyclopedia of information free and available for everyone.

in practice I hate it because how dare you say this song was first recorded in 1930 when it was first recorded in 1910 and how dare you say the first american version of the song was from the 60s when it was from the 30s and most of the links to your citations don't work anymore. they frequently confuse folk songs with other folk songs with completely different origins and list them together. they r usually wrong about when something is first printed or even who it was written by, when it was recorded, etc.

i understand I'm being a bit unreasonable, but most easily accessible things online just copy and paste from wikipedia, and for SUCH a niche topic of the history of american folk songs i just see the same misinformation being repeated over and over.

i know i said this before, but it's still upsetting.

I will note that LibreOffice is free, opensource, actively maintained, not infected with AI bullshit, and the Kopyright Kops will NOT be kicking down your door over it. Other than checking for updates, and if you choose to save to a cloud account, it runs entirely offline, and updates will fix security holes if you are giving it online access. Also the download and installation footprint is still measured in megabytes, not gigabytes. Most of the difference, as far as i can tell, being aesthetic, not functional. It also happily reads and writes MSOffice formats if you need to, and will run on damned near any operating system that is more or less current.

Strong encryption while saving is also an option.

Hadoop is the most used opensource big data platform. Over the last decade, it has become a very large ecosystem with dozens of tools and projects supporting it. Most information technology companies have invested in Hadoop based data analytics and this has created a huge job market for Hadoop engineers and analysts. Hadoop is a large-scale system that requires Map Reduce programmers, data scientists, and administrators to maintain it. Getting a Hadoop job may seem difficult but not impossible. There are hundreds of useful free resources available online that can help you learn it on your own. Many programmers have switched to data scientist role by simply self-learning Hadoop development. I am a Cloudera certified Hadoop developer since 2008 and I have hand-curated this list of resources for all Hadoop aspirants to learn faster. Hadoop Beginners Tutorials: Simple and Easy to Follow Hadoop requires a lot of prior knowledge of computer science. It may be overwhelming for a total beginner to start using it. I would recommend to take small steps and learn part of it at a time. Try to apply what you learn using a simple project. The pre-bundled distributions of Hadoop are, the best way to avoid complicated setup. You can use Cloudera or Hortonworks bundled packages to quick start your experiments. At first, you need no create a large Hadoop cluster. Even doing a one or two node cluster would be sufficient to verify your learnings.

Please share your experience If you know about more training options or have any feedback about any training listed here. Summary I have created this huge list of Hadoop tutorials to help learn faster. At first, it may become overwhelming to jump onto any tutorial and start learning, however, I would encourage you to no give up on learning. My recommendation to beginners will be to start small and no give up. Based on the couple hour spent every day you may be able to learn Hadoop ecosystem in a matter of a few weeks. I hope you find this resource page useful. Please mention in comments, If you find something useful that is not listed on this page.

Hey remember this?

Well it got worse.

Mozilla changed their ToS to something really broad and vague (emphasis mine): “When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox.”

Or as someone on slashdot put it "a very disturbing "You Give Mozilla Certain Rights and Permissions"

Mozilla, which touts being privacy-focused (and used to respect users), removed the guarantees of their not capturing, recording & using our browsing data.

And they might start using your data to train AI (which they've denied), and the AI chatbot is now apparently enabled by default (I haven't updated Firefox yet so haven't noticed), which was what many, many users said they didn't want in the above thread.

If you're not a fan of Mozilla/Firefox following the enshittification route of the internet, I'd recommend switching to Librewolf, a fork of Firefox, but opensource and focused on privacy features from the get-go (recommended by my geek sibling, and other users I've seen on the above thread).

(There might be others, like Brave, but that's chromium based and I haven't tried it so can't speak to that.)

Source (link; https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/28/mozilla-responds-to-backlash-over-new-terms-saying-its-not-using-peoples-data-for-ai/)

Edit: on my phone I replaced Firefox with Duckduckgo

Hey guess what? Firefox's creator, Mozilla, is considering whether to integrate an AI button/feature into their browser. If you, like me, use Firefox and wish to offer feedback, here is the thread: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/share-your-feedback-on-the-ai-services-experiment-in-nightly/td-p/60519

Pass it on.

I'm building and training a personal hashtag#AI, using a hashtag#software called hashtag#AnythingLLM. With it, I can download any free, hashtag#opensource model I like, hashtag#nocoding required. I'm using hashtag#Chroma, a free database with good capacity. Now I can load my 650+ stories into Chroma, a process called embedding, and I can ask my AI questions about my characters, settings, and more. Since it's hosted on my PC, I don't have to worry about my data getting read by online AIs or chunks of my stories showing up in someone's AI answer.
