Seeing how reviving old PCs is a hugely important thing to use Linux for, it's really strange to me how difficult it is to find out which distros works best on old hardware!

People say many things, but it's hard to find real benchmarks. Tried Lubuntu and Zorin Core on one laptop I have here, and it was not OK. AntiX seems fast enough, but unfortunately too nerdy to give to a non-nerd.

We poisoned the whole planet so our eggs wouldn't stick to the pan 🙃

Artists Garden

When my clothes become too tired to be worn when going out, some of them are assigned to gardening duties.
The T-shirt in this photograph, frayed and with holes, must be around 15 years old. Not as old as I thought, in fact. A (now gardening) fleece is still in much better condition than this T-shirt and must be nearly 30 years old. Clothes do keep a long time.
I suspect that I would not feature in an industrialist's wet dream.

It makes me feel somewhat better when I see all these boycotts, and realize that, with a few notable exceptions (amazon was a hard one) I don't really buy many of the products anyway, so my boycott is meaningless. I recently saw a #nestle #boycott and the wide expanse of brands they control and was happy to note that none of them are in my house or regular consumption routine. =)

To boycott as a means of political voice is powerful.
To be able to work outside the domain of the corporations being boycotted is a privilege I am grateful for and work hard to maintain.

Help needed: my ugg boots of 10 years are finally beyond repair and I need something to replace them as winter approaches. Are there any #vegan options which are as durable as sheepskin/leather and will break down once they wear out rather than contribute to the microplastic pollution problem? Need to be warm and wearable inside but also outside (eg sitting in the garden, not out out). #vegan #anticonsumption #ethicalshopping

Australian dairy company Bega now has a dairy free cheese available. Do you buy it? If you do, you're supporting a company that makes most of its money through animal abuse, even if this particular product doesn't contain milk. Does the argument that if enough people switch, overall fewer cows will suffer hold weight? Vast majority of products you buy in a supermarket are from problematic companies with questionable ethics. #vegan #anticonsumption #anarchy #solarpunk
