One of my local volunteer projects is the library's website which I'm updating this morning as Cosmo waits for second breakfast.
Happily using #FreeSoftware: ghostwriter for markdown conversion to html. Then I'll use Kate to edit a couple html files then upload with Filezilla. #GNU #Linux @linuxmint and the Cinnamon DE. All running on a 2018 #Thinkpad bought for $250 on Ebay.
No need for new/expensive hardware from #apple.
No #malware from #Microsoft or #google
#UpCycle #FOSS #Tech
Whew. Biggest donation to date!
15 upcycled Dell Latitudes with 10th gen i7, 16 gigs of ram, and NVMe drives.
We partnered with a local program that helps families with Christmas presents, and they always want laptops.
This year, The Computer Upcycle Project was able to deliver.
Freaking love this work!
Giant naalbinding needle that I made from the handle of a bamboo toothbrush, inspired by a Sally Pointer video (upcycling, waste not want not, etc.). This size will be great for making netted bags. I had a netted shopping bag years ago that I just loved, but it wore out, and I miss it. Time to replace it and maybe make a few extras, for myself or as gifts.

Okay...I know my followers, and I know most of my followers have like half a dozen spare laptops in a storage bin in their closet, so I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who's trying to help their friend.

I need assistance in the PNW for someone who is in a care facility in Oregon and destitute after being homeless and in jail.
They need a laptop shipped to them to get back online.
A used semi-recent MacBook Air with a charger would be ideal.
If you have a spare that you鈥檙e willing to ship, or if you鈥檙e willing to purchase one, confirm that it鈥檚 working, and then ship it, I will cover your costs.
"""
I'll help facilitate stuff if someone wants to lend (or reasonably sell) a laptop that fits the bill. A non-OSX laptop works too, as long as it can be easily kept up by someone who isn't normally a Linux user.

Bruh so much fabric and clothes get scrapped in landfills... why not like make door and window draught excluders out of fabric leftovers we can't use and give them free to people in the winter time when it's cold 
Like this!!! This is super easy to make and uses up so many unusable pieces of fabric as stuffing
