"With a software death date baked into each model, older versions of these inexpensive computers are set to expire three to six years after their release. Despite having fully functioning hardware, an expired Chromebook will no longer receive the software updates it needs, blocking basic websites and applications from use…

Built-in software ‘death dates’ are sending thousands of schools’ Chromebooks to the recycling bin

Doubling the lifespan of older Chromebooks would save California’s schools $225 million, according to advocacy group CALPIRG.

Also: a typical washing machine cycle uses 33-72 litres of water.

One beef burger takes 3,140 litres of water 😱

A plant based burger uses up to 95% less water.

So if the hotel restaurant served only #vegan plant based food they would make a far greater impact on saving the environment than this greenwashing performative nonsense.

if you post leftist memes without alt text, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

spend 30 freaking seconds to include your comrades that use screen readers. it's the fastest and easiest part of making the meme.

without this you are no better than any other ableist scum.

our victories must be intersectional, and this includes disabled people!

I seriously hate touch interfaces on appliances. Especially on cooking tops. Please stop it. It's not cool. It's not modern. It's a nuisance. Bring back physical dials and buttons.

Did a #Barbenheimer today. Barbie won for sure.
@MontgomeryGator Love Manjaro. I use Endeavour on my main workstation for better AUR compatibility.

Got it.Definitely going to have to carry on with codecademy to finish learning the fundamentals before I can throw a program together. Native dev is so intimidating compared to webdev; I'm used to being able to get exactly the GUI I want with CSS, and quickly bash out logic with JS. I'm tempted by projects like Tauri, but I feel that I should learn to do things "properly" without relying on web technologies.

But you see, I'm an incredibly simple man! I have very little knowledge about c++, and I was expecting something like setTimeout() to exist so that I could throw something like this together:

```
const timedMessage = (time, message) => {
setTimeout(() => {
console.log(message);
}, time);
}

timedMessage(5000, "Hi!");
```
