@LinuxGuides Gute Initiative! Persönliche Linux-Held*innen sind für viele Umsteigende sehr wichtig.
Da darf https://endof10.org/places/ natürlich nicht fehlen, und auch viele #ReparaturCafés haben das Thema auf dem Schirm: https://www.reparatur-initiativen.de
The true cost of "free returns".

No broken kettle can stand in the way of a man and his instant pasta pot. 🍝
Once more, a case of overheat caused by oxidized connections. No significant melting this time, just enough deformation to break contact. Easy fix with some sanding and careful bending. It required a deeper disassembly than I expected, and some attention to keep the safety features in place.
E-waste avoided. Pasta consumed. 👌
Ditch the single-use coffee cups! Borrow an OKAPI stainless steel or glass cup with a silicone lid and then return it for washing. To kick-start usage in Alameda, OKAPI is hosting a Free Coffee Day at four participating cafés for customers who download the app and join.

Love the Too Good To Go app. Great discounts and feeling good about rescuing food that otherwise would be thrown out. Just picked up a pound of premium whole bean coffee and a dozen donuts at a second spot for a total of $12!
