does anybody in seattle wanna trade for my librem 5 linux phone + 3D printed phone case + nexdock + laptop carrying case? i'd reckon that's at least a $1,500 value
in return i'm asking for the following in good condition: a 1TB OLED steamdeck and recent-ish (like within the past five years) modern laptop with good specs (at least 1 TB memory, 32 gigs RAM, and ten hours of battery life) that i can put linux on
i'm down in federal way rn if you'd wanna meet up here, or i'll be in the city this saturday for pride and can bring it then
The #Seattle public library catalog, computers, website, and ebook checkout are currently down after a ransomware attack. They're still manually lending paper books while it's sorted out.
How much does it cost Sound Transit to opearate the fair compliance program, including staffing? How much money have they recovered from the "fare evaders" since they reinstated the program back in November?

I know most of you are not as much of a dummy as I am, but there will be a few like me who didn't know:
The upskilling platform LinkedIn Learning (previously Lynda.com) for which pricing starts at about $27 NZD/month, is FREE with your Auckland Library card (and many other library cards too.)
So there you go.
As if I needed another reason to love the library.
