Loop Stuff app Take a picture. We'll buy your stuff.

Loop is apparently a company focused on reuse of products (as in: reduce/reuse/recycle).

#Atlanta #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle

Leah Rowe is not a Rowebot (@libreleah@mas.to) Attached: 1 image I'm starting a massive project in Libreboot, whose goal is literally to add every single Chromebook ever manufactured, to Libreboot. This includes more ARM models, but also the x86 models. I'm systematically analysing and adapting various ports from MrChromebox, for Libreboot. I'm purchasing a bunch of them myself, but: If you have a Chromebook, that you don't need anymore, I'd be happy if you could donate it to the Libreboot project. Send me an email to info@minifree.org Gotta port 'em all.

This is the #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle that I am here for.

Another device successfully fettled and kept out of landfill #KOOL
