What are some good SBCs that aren't raspberry pi?

Doesn't mean that there are never problems or conflicts of course, but it does mean that we have the tools to deal with them in a constructive manner - like a 'voting sheet' of sorts for what's for dinner, and a sheet to claim and track chores being done, as well as constructive house meetings when issues need to be discussed

Just realized today that I have, sort of accidentally, achieved the dream of "living in a peaceful indescribable polycule of queer neurospicy folks"... and I didn't really notice until now

@joepie91 that's in my city! I've been there several times. They have new stuff this year.

Every once in a while I see an old Linux screenshot and go "oh yeah, Linux DEs used to be *uglier* than Windows" lmao

Dear authors, and if Netflix or whoever is listening, you too:

If you're out of fun ideas for historical drama, alternate history or the like, how about this: an all-female gang in a European capital, renowned for coming up on top against male gangs and taking good care of their members, and one which may have endured for generations. You don't even need to invent most of it if you don't want to. This gang really existed and they were known as the 40 thieves or the 40 elephants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forty_Elephants

Please write something in this setting. Please!

Why are the battery controllers in my Thinkpad such absolute garbage...?

Can anyone recommend small independent sources of information/news, either about tech, world facts, or both, that are in a similar ballpark as kottke and 404media, but they're not US-centric?

Anything interesting in Europe or elsewhere?

if you're feeling like going on the offensive, but not like, smashy smashy offensive, an easy fun thing you can do is to put up posters around your neighborhood warning of CPCs, aka fake clinics that espouse misinfo about reproductive health and deliver religious nonsense instead of real choices.

(this post sponsored by me seeing such a poster from a weird local org - try not to be part of a weird org - covering up an acab sticker - try not to cover up acab stickers when you do this)
