  • An art project called r/place is active again. Basically, it’s a giant white canvas and users can change the color of one pixel every X amount of minutes.

    Since we left Reddit, the community is torn between returning to post something in protest or staying away and refusing them traffic to protest. A suggestion there is to simply watch the twitch/YouTube streams of people who are there.

    Some suggestions: “join-lemmy.org”, “API”, “Fuck u/spez”. There’s currently a French flag with a guillotine about to chop the head off a Snoo with u/spez as it’s blindfold. There is also clap back. Bots or the moderators are actively blocking pieces of protest with checkerboard patterns.

    I hope this answers your question.










  • This is completely speculative and likely very wrong, but:

    Computer order for school districts were backed up because no one anticipated the loss due to COVID and the budget is only so big to order so many. This means we didn’t get all the replacements we needed and then suffered more losses during the school year, plus with the implementation of online school as an option. As we can’t afford name brand, like Windows (my school bought chromebooks), I assume that April and May is when the school districts put in orders for next year’s laptops.
