For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege — it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.

~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines #Microsoft and #Apple called trash.

‘The [#NATO ]Treaty committed each member to share the risk, responsibilities and benefits of collective defence – a concept at the very heart of the Alliance.

In 1949, the primary aim of the Treaty was to create a pact of mutual assistance to counter the risk that the USSR would seek to extend its control of Eastern Europe to other parts of the continent. The Treaty also required members not to enter into any international commitments that conflicted with the Treaty.’
