I’m super into making things and trying to be more sustainable. I love animals and don’t eat them. Working in the tech industry currently, but in the public sector so that I can still sleep well at night. I try to be a more positive force in a turbulent world without slipping into being toxic.
Awesome work, and thank you for sharing the process! I like collecting these off-brand MP3 players from years ago, and there’s just not that much information on how to do these upgrades/fixes these days.
I’ve got a NOMAD Zen Xtra but haven’t done much with it yet. The battery’s borked and I haven’t worked out an easy work flow for getting stuff on it just yet. One day…
Thank you! That’s actually where I’ve posted this request, but…I forgot it’s federated everywhere. Looks like I’m still getting used to Lemmy instances and how they work, LOL!
I hadn’t thought of it that way! I’ll definitely submit if I can come up with something I’m satisfied with.
I may do so–being new I wanted to make sure I wasn’t copying anyone’s existing work.
Yeah, that’s basically it. It’s fiction that features a future in which people are adapting to climate change and focuses on sustainable living and technologies. A few years back you wouldn’t have found anything searching for solarpunk fiction, but it seems to have been gaining popularity lately. I’ve always enjoyed speculative fiction, and I agree with you that we need more protopians in our collective imagination.
I did not know about this, thank you! I use LibraryThing rather than Bookwyrm, but I’m intrigued by Bookwyrm nonetheless. I’ll check it out!
Thanks for posting this! I’m familiar with the Story Seed Library, but didn’t know they were holding an art collab. I make pixel art mostly, but I’m also kind of flirting with the idea of making a Solarpunk Coloring Book (I do a lot of adult coloring stuff, and I’ve given away coloring pages via my website before). Not sure if that would be accepted, but it’s still nice to know about.
In addition to the other tips here, it would also be easier if you could disassemble the entire keyboard and lift it from the frame entirely. I’m not sure how ThinkPads are constructed, but the other brands I’ve used can come off, and then you can clean the plastic on top of the circuitry more vigorously (let dry completely before putting it back on)
Fuck yes, libraries are awesome, and I’m so glad that people are turning back to them.
BTW, this is a good reminder to patronize your local branch today and, if possible, throw some money their way.
