You might end up being dissapointed with a £600 option, and that is my honest opinion. If you can save up double that, i think it opens more options to you.

Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)
She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf).
So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!

Kelly's Shenanigans 🇨🇦Why I buy safety certified, integrated ebikes from local bike shops, a story:
I've had my Electra Townie for almost 8 years. I rode through the winter on it for all of those years. I expected to need to replace the battery soon. On it's latest tune up, there were some errors on the software update, and afterwards the temperature sensor on the battery failed, thinking it was 125C, it refused to turn on. 1/ #BikeTooter #ebike

elementaryGot our quarterly report from @starlabssystems this morning, and we got 5 StarLites sold with elementary OS! That’s not exactly a ton of computers 😅 but each sale helps fund development and it’s the model we’re current selling the most of. Excited to continue working on the tablet experience in elementary OS and looking forward to seeing more issue reports from StarLite owners https://us.starlabs.systems/pages/starlite
