Microsoft and E-waste, nuclear take
If you read between the lines, the guy fell foul of Microsoft's Licence agreement. You see, Microsoft run their licenced refurbisher program. You have to take an exam, enter COA details and who knows what else.
If he wanted to avoid trouble, he could have just stuck with Linux and he could have avoided a 15-month prision term, which seems light in comparison to many..but still a lot for essentially a white-collar crime.

This may actually be a good time to appreciate services like

for setting up your own instance with the help of an experienced sys-admin. You get the domain you want, and you can build your own community and invite your friends.
Doom (climate change)
@cassolotl@dev.glitch.social Plus I would be skeptical about it. The article, I mean, the media always makes it worse than it really is...
...especially the sodding Daily Mail!
@anw What the crap? Who's idea was that?!

@cassolotl@dev.glitch.social Someone's cheerful today(!)
Although the recycling company could have saved me some effort by refurbing it, but..well, needs must.
The biggest areas of concern at the palmrest and the back cover for the LCD assembly. The LCD itself is mucky, but some cleaning should make it look better. The palmrest and the back LCD assembly panel seem to have broken plastic. Plenty of screws later, and I have them off. Lenovo don't make it easy, huh?
So, the X230 accepts Qubes 4 easily, but the apperance could be a lot better, so, time to get some new parts and refurb this laptop to look better, and cleaner, too.

Well..when you look at an earlier version of Minesweeper..I think he does have a point.
Sarcasam directed at Microsoft with flippant 45 mention
Looks like Sergio Chiodo can rest easy now, since MineSweeper is gone from Windows 10..unless he's still angry at microsoft for releasing such an OS, and not to mention that everyone and their dog has programed the game, telling him to fuck off on pain of the US getting involed..again.
minor injury mention
@Mycroft Ouch! Hope you get better soon!
Well..after a bit of hunting around, I have a laptop that will work with Qubes OS 4. Many others have tested the X200, and it falls over, like..a lot.
So, I'm going to try the X230. It's like the X220, but it has USB 3 on it somewhere.

@cassolotl@dev.glitch.social It's reddit. I'm not entirely suprised.
Ableism; specifically asking for experiences of #ActuallyAutistic people
@cassolotl@dev.glitch.social I've been compared to an alien, does that count?
NB and honourifics, a thought
You know, I've been thinking. Since we tend to use "Sir" as an honourific for Males and "Ma'am" for Females...what would one for Non-Binary people be?
I mean, they do deserve the same respect as everyone else, right? It's only fair that they have one.
@Mycroft I get that feeling.
