Have to buy a laptop soon for school and whatnot and almost bought an HP one before I remembered we're supposed to be boycotting that.

Hell with the school year coming up I would think BDS should be getting the word out more >:( But maybe they are and I just haven't noticed. I'm not online much, this is one of the few websites I peruse. Hi everyone.

But yea I think it might be a good idea to get some hashtags, some memes, etc. going to remind people to buy alternatives. Get to twitter and whatnot. Post on /r/genzedong. Go go go.

    I think Purism kinda overhypes their security. Like, it's really just a totally free linux distro that doesn't have any proprietary blobs, it's not like it's truly magic and hacker-proof and private or whatever. Having said that, there is some utility to being able to disable IME and having hardware kill switches, for the paranoid.
