The flyer for the workshop distributed at Umweltfestival. The text in German says: "Digitalisierung nachhlatig gestalten. Erfahre mehr darüber: 1. wie man alten Smartphones und Computern mit Freier Software ein längeres Leben schenken und damit die Elektroschrottberge reduzieren kann, 2. wie offtene Standards helfen den Lock-In Effekt zu verhindern und was das mit Sozialen Netzwerken zu tun hat. 3.6.2024 ab 18 Uhr c-base, Rungestrasse 20, U+S Bhf Jannowtizbrücke." The English translation is: "Making digitalization sustainable. Learn more about: 1. how to give old smartphones and computers a longer life with Free Software and thus reduce the mountains of electronic waste, 2. how open standards help to prevent the lock-in effect and what this has to do with social networks. 3 June 2024 from 6 pm at c-base, Rungestrasse 20, U+S Bhf Jannowtizbrücke."

    FOSS - ensuring even new hardware stays in use when vendor-support eventually ends!

    Whether or not you install GNU/Linux on it today, your new will eventually lose support. Thanks to the impressive work of project (@AsahiLinux), it will not need to end up in the landfill once it does.

    Great to see as the default desktop environment!
