@BrambleBearSnoring@mastodon.ie @coreysnipes@hachyderm.io you should look it up. Iay try and run it more often at work, as that's 100% web based. Should be fine. It's a really nice environment for just plain computing. If one doesn't need constant Internet access, it's beautiful 😍❤️ #haikuos

Very little. One needs a simple small screw driver, and some funds. Ram upgrade on the old x series is easy. Find it cheap. Throw in at least 8Gb.
Install Linux, or even HaikuOS, and pass it forward.

@coreysnipes@hachyderm.io THIS IS AWESOME! As a user of old thinkpads (x230 fam!) I wholly approve and support this message. I should look into doing the same in my area. #thinkpad #solarpunk

Esp32-c3 #riscv works great, if a little moody sometimes. It looks super cool when a whole registry flush dances through the lights! #linux
I can't upload a video of it working, but here is a picture, just blink real fast and the lights might dance.
@SDF@mastodon.sdf.org I've sent several emails, donations, purchases from the shop, but radio silence. Can anyone respond? I don't mind not getting my stickers, but I do mind emails going unanswered for weeks. Please advise.
Why is it so hard to get Linux to show a pretty picture during boot?!?!?

@Waterfox@mastodon.social I just learned about waterfox, currently a firefox user of decades. Should I switch? JXL support has my vote. Pros/Cons?
