  • Hey sunshine. It makes me so proud you want to attempt to fix something rather than throw it out.

    When my computerybox did a whoopsie (which had nothing to do with me spilling coffee over it), I used this great website to find out how to take it apart. Might not be helpful this time but perhaps for the next thing that does or does not get offered an unexpected and undesired cup of Joe.

    Those little screws might be a pain with your dyspraxia so maybe take it apart on a tray or something so nothing rolls under the couch.

    And if you can’t fix it, that’s okay! You tried, that’s all that matters. I’m sure there’s a local repair person out in your neck of the woods. Failing that, I’m sure there’s a witch in those woods with a broom you can borrow hurhurhur.

    Keep being you, sunshine.





  • Stallman would disagree with you, I believe. The Free Software Moment has never been about not making money, it’s about liberty with the software you use. Free as in freedom, not free as in beer; free as in libre, not free as in gratis.

    Quote from FSF:

    Many people believe that the spirit of the GNU Project is that you should not charge money for distributing copies of software, or that you should charge as little as possible—just enough to cover the cost. This is a misunderstanding.

    Actually, we encourage people who redistribute free software to charge as much as they wish or can.
