starless boosted

Quite some years ago (2006-08), we brought the #OLPC AKA the 100$ laptop to Ethiopia as pilot. A surprising thing happened. The laptops were often without battery power in the morning. A thing that wasn’t anticipated. It had two reasons. One was the keyboard LED (it was removed in later series). It was used by the parents to have a light at home. The other was a bigger surprise. The parents used the mesh networking to discuss market prices for their produce. Fascinating. 1/8

(also, this is the song I was trying to sing, with the clip timed to start in the right spot: youtu.be/WiPcgmSQ5uI?si=B0aUtK )

bad relationships, introspection, cooly-distant liberation, gender themes 

The vocals are a little lost. Sorry about that.
