While big-upping this channel, another great one about the inherent dangers of monopolies/semi-monopolies & planned obsolescence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5v8D-alAKE

Some might see this as political, & it partly is, but it's a crucial tech issue at its core.

Also, this is definitely a @pluralistic topic. Cory Doctorow's written about this a *lot* in an essential way for clear understanding of the deep issues.

Some people I know have given in to the Microsoft propaganda, and replacing a perfectly good machine 😭

Does anyone know of any effort to donate/re-own such machines, and perhaps give them away to people who need them?

Ideally in France (south), but I'll take anything that doesn't land the machine in the bin as I'm unfortunately not on site to do it myself.

(posting this in English too because it could be of interest to some of the fediverse crowd!)

There’s a petition about the end of Windows 10:

https://www.halteobsolescence.org/petitions/non-a-la-taxe-windows/

It demands:

– Free updates to Windows 10 until 2030

– Legislation for free updates on computers for at least 15 years

– Obligations to inform users about the possibility to move to Linux

It’s organised by a French non-profit against planned obsolescence. It’s unclear if they’ll campaign only for France, but still worth signing if it can create some emulation other places too?
