Anyone in my network have a recommendation on where I can buy used #thinkpads for the purpose of putting #Linux on for my kids? Not ebay and craigslist. Wondering anywhere else?

Receptive to other low cost #Linux laptop options too.

Max budget $300.

@hasmis It's also a problem of the consumer being far removed from the farm, literally, and having never visited one . One of my granddaughter's won't eat any meat that looks like it's part of an animal <ie> chicken legs, wings, leg of lamb etc. She's never visited a farm or seen an abattoir. She is like most consumers, who don't know all the work farmers do to feed us!

People near to the earth know that off colour vegetables/fruit doesn't mean it's not good. Urbanites, not so much.
Cheers!

Leah Rowe is not a Rowebot

I'm currently working on the osboot/libreboot merger that I alluded to in the last Libreboot release. I'm about 40% done as I write this, and I started today!

Osboot is becoming part of Libreboot. The projects are merging and will operate as one, under current osboot policy.

Current osboot policy shall be known unofficially as:

Pragmatic System Distribution Guidelines

or just PSDG for short

new libreboot release soon

Good read if you're a fellow progressive. Don't follow the crowd.

@hasmis
That's a rather strange statement. The waste is because the consumer is not educated enough to know that there is nothing wrong with a little off colour cauliflower and the retailer's wanting a uniform size. Therefore in this example, large and off-white cauliflower is plowed under. That's what we're talking about in this article.

Don't ever forget that the #EuropeanUnion supported the illegal 2019 Coup in #Bolivia - Democracy only matters when it suits us...
RT @MarkWeisbrot: This is the result of a 2019 military coup backed by the US gov't and Bolivian white supremacists, that overthrew the democratically elected government of Evo Morales. With decisive help from Luis Almagro, still Secretary General of the OAS.

I very recently learned that the term “boycott” comes from someone’s actual name: Charles Boycott. Boycott was an English land agent who tried, in 1880, to collect unpayable rents from Irish peasants on behalf of an English aristocrat landlord. When he failed to collect the rents, he tried evicting the tenants. The Irish Land League responded with a campaign to ignore Boycott’s orders and isolate him socially and economically.

They not only ignored his eviction orders and threw manure at his process servers, but refused to deliver his mail or sell him food.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charle

It was pretty effective—the British government eventually had to deploy a thousand soldiers (naturally, because the state works for the propertied class and none more than the 19th century British state) at a cost of some £10,000 to harvest £500 worth of crops. Boycott had to be evacuated by the soldiers, who even had to drive him out, as no locals would agree to drive his carriage out of the region.

Imagine being cancelled so hard that your name becomes permanently associated with getting cancelled.

@Cornvelious_Dan There's also 'Fedilab' I moved to it from Tusky and haven't looked back. Just another option if one is happy with Tusky, that's fine too. ;-)
