Reminder: all Libreboot machines are currently on a heavy discount, on Minifree:
I'm the founder and lead developer of the Libreboot project. Sales fund Libreboot. Libreboot (preinstalled) is free/opensource firmware replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI on supported hardware. I did a release recently, namely Libreboot 20241008.
Your choice of Debian Linux, other distro or a BSD.
I'm raising money for some planned work in November, hence price cut going for increased sales.

Friend: What are you doing?
Me: a lesbian has gone to a better place
Friend: that's a UHAUL
Me: Yes and she's leaving Indianapolis for somewhere better
You remember these glasses from your last trip to #France, I guess. Here’s the interesting story: Duralex, the manufacturer, was heading for liquidation. Investors that wanted to buy it existed, but they wanted to fire a lot of employees. So the court agreed to a different solution: create a cooperative, make Duralex workers owned. Now give them a hand and buy their glasses instead of the typical IKEA stuff, ok? :) https://eu.duralex.com/en-eu/collections/all-our-products

#TTRPG stuff bleeding into real life:
I'm a forever GM. Years ago, I was in a union negotiation with one of my players backing me up as co-rep.
I scored the biggest victory of my life as a union rep. I don't think they ever fully understood either, which made it even better.
Outside ACAS, my player says, "did they just fuck themselves?"
Me: "Maybe. Why would you think that?"
Him: "because you started using your DM-when-we're-about-to-do-something-really-stupid voice"

" #AI is not magic. LLMs are not sentient beings, and they won’t become sentient. And the problems with these technologies aren’t abstractions — they’re here now and we need to take them seriously today.
"'People’s lives are at stake, but not because of some super intelligent system,' [researcher Joy] Buolamwini says, 'but because of an overreliance on technical systems. I want people to understand that the harms are real, and that they’re present.'"
- Lorena O'Neil, These Women Tried to Warn Us About AI https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/women-warnings-ai-danger-risk-before-chatgpt-1234804367/ (discussion of #racism, #misogynoir and other systemic harms at link)
cringetober 5: ms paint
I have fondest memories of the version of MS Paint bundled with windows 3.1 up to 98.
i used a web-app to emulate a familiar experience.
