For a Linux and Open Source person such as yours truly, there is simply no point in becoming a Microsoft MVP. It is an honor and a kind of award, but after two months on the inside I can now say that absolutely nothing they offer in the program interests me.

Zero Open Source stuff. Zero about protocols. Zero about any Open technologies at all. 100% boring.

This is not a dis on other MVPs. It just describes how it works for me.

Why do food deserts exist? Shock and surprise, it's because of Reagan-era halting of antitrust enforcement https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/12/food-deserts-robinson-patman/680765/

Lots of other independent stores also died that way, but food is the one that's clearest

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

♫ There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am ♫

This is a ThinkPad T480S, running Libreboot. Mate Kukri did it last night for coreboot, based on his ThinkPad T480 port.

And the T480 is also supported by Libreboot!

T480 and T480S both added to Libreboot last night. This is using Mate Kukri's excellent deguard utility, to disable the Intel Boot Guard.

New Libreboot release coming soon. It's the coreboot distro that I maintain, replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmwaer.

Today, I am experimenting a bit with the original IBM mouse driver, version 1.0 from 1987. It's still working quite well with MS-DOS 6, but Windows 3 doesn't like it at all. I could even find an old article from Microsoft's knowledge base explaining the issue. Oh, well.. I guess I will need to find that version 1.1!
