How do you know this is the US, rather than UK, AU, NZ or a British school in the EU?
EDIT: Looked at the original file linked here in the comments, and it makes reference to "HCPSS", which according to a Google search means this is in Maryland. Your assumption seems to have been correct!
In Uni I ran Gentoo as my daily driver. It was stupid, but I learned a lot.
Trying and failing to get a working desktop environment, using IRC on the command line to get help from people who knew what they were doing and could advise a dumb kid like me, following their advice and getting a working DE after a reboot was the most hackerman I ever felt. I was convinced I was real hot shit. In actuality, I'd followed the advice to tweak the kernel config to get working drivers :))
Please don't lump trademarks with the rest. Makers have stamped their goods with their mark since ancient times, both as advertising and to signify quality products (and not knockoffs). Swords were especially commonly marked with the smith's trademark.
It was illegal to sell bread in ancient Rome without a trademark, for example. The punishments for doing so were harsh, as they wanted to be able to track down the baker if someone sold tainted bread.
In modern days, they're useful for customers to know what company they're buying from.
This is a time of crisis, and both the Squad specifically and the American progressive movement in general are letting a good crisis good to waste
What would you recommend they do? And how would they go about doing that within the strictures of a two-party system where one is fascist and the other is captured?
Messaging is important. While the Republicans are saying "There's some temporary pain, but it'll all sort itself out in the end. We just need to get through this transition, and the tarrifs and deportations will MAGA", there needs to be a counter-argument.
They're (thankfully) not preaching to the choir. They're going to Republicans and independents and explaining in these rallies that there's an oligarchy that has taken control, made them poorer, and it will get worse.
If they can convince enough people of the real causes, they have a broader base, and potentially even some new progressives.
There's plenty of opposition parties in Russia, for example. They're just all controlled. They use intentional gaffs to throw the election to the "correct" winner. If they start getting too uppity and stop following orders, they get banned from running on some technicality.
Navalny is what happens when even that doesn't work, but he was very much the exception.
Incidentally, I guess? Still a powerful neoliberal female leader. This was written based on Thatcher.
