There's some nice initiative helping people keeping alive old laptops by installing Linux (and basically helping with the setup).
Too bad there's no one in Poland, but there are quite a few places in Germany where you can get help. Or in Thailand.
Anyway, I could help you if you need.
Although it might technically be 'legal' for Trump and his administration to take this action, it is morally and ethically wrong, a heinous crime against all of us and against the natural world we live in.
If science dies, we die.

Staff members at the US National Science Foundation (NSF) were told on 30 April to “stop awarding all funding actions until further notice,” according to an internal email.
The policy prevents the NSF, one of the world’s biggest supporters of basic research, from awarding new research grants and from supplying allotted funds for existing grants, such as those that receive yearly increments of money. The email does not provide a reason for the freeze and says that it will last “until further notice.”
Earlier this week, NSF leadership also introduced a new policy directing staff members to screen grant proposals for “topics or activities that may not be in alignment with agency priorities.” Proposals judged not “in alignment” must be returned to the applicants by NSF employees.

Man With Sign, May 2, 02025
Friday morning and it looks like it rained last night. The sky is deep grey, temperatures are a little cooler, and everything is pretty soggy, but there's nothing coming down. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:29 and set up. No Craige today. I hold up WE MUST BE BETTER ANCESTORS as my heading-into-the-weekend message.

Jeff Goodell’s excellent ‘The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet” really made an impression.
This new study highlights the dual health risks of extreme heat and wildfire smoke occurring at the same time.
CA, OR, & AZ had the most overlap of stressors, and unsurprisingly already vulnerable populations face the greatest risk.
As political winds shift in the U.S. and big corporations pull back on their climate ambition, investors, too, are giving the cold shoulder to a nascent technology that will be vital to tackling climate change. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/05/02/tech/investors-sour-direct-air-capture/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #climatechange #investments #carbon #emissions

Scientists Are Ditching Cows to Make Butter From Greenhouse Gases
Butter was long thought to be magic. Ancient civilizations imbued it with divine beliefs and it factored into 17th-century witch trials as evidence of the dark arts. Scientists have since decoded its chemistry, but a new version of this favorite dietary fat is making it seem otherworldly again: butter made from greenhouse gases. Scientists at […]
Dans la nuit du jeudi 1er au vendredi 2 mai, des militants d’ Extinction rébellion Strasbourg ont saboté trois stations-service TotalEnergies à Cronenbourg, au Port-du-Rhin et à Schiltigheim pour « perturber l’activité économique de cette multinationale écocidaire ».

What politicians don't -or don't want - to understand is that climate change is a global challenge that requires cooperation across borders.
No single nation can fully address the crisis on its own, as environmental impacts, rising temperatures, extreme weather, and wildfires, affect the entire planet.
🎶 Boy the way Glenn Miller played
Songs that made the hit parade.
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days.
And you knew who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men,
Mister we could use a man
Like Herbert Hoover again.
Didn't need no welfare state,
Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee our old LaSalle ran great.
Those were the days.🎶

🎶 those were the fascists like we have today🎶
🎶 wish they all would fade away🎶
🎶 that'll be the better day🎶

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🦉🛫 Snowy owls, North #America's largest owls by body mass, migrate thousands of kilometers from the Arctic to places like #Boston's Logan Airport each #winter, where the open runways resemble their tundra habitat.
Norman Smith has saved over 900 of these #birds since 1981, developing #conservation methods now used at other airports while collecting scientific #data about these Arctic visitors and establishing protocols for safely relocating them.
