Alright Fedi. This is going to be my more far fetched question as of yet.
Do any of you happens to have, lying in a box somewhere, a Photo CD? And if so, would you be willing to part with it?
Just to clear any possible confusion, I’m specifically looking for a disc in the Photo CD format, not a CD-R on which pictures have been stored as files. Here is the article on the subject: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_CD.
Boosts are appreciated, as my search has not been fruitful this far.

This long read in The Verge does a remarkable job of describing how Wikipedia's editing community works, the project's strengths and weaknesses, and the threats it faces.

in reply to It's FOSS • • •What do I like most about Linux?
What I like most about Linux is what it DOESN’T do:
It doesn’t spy on me. It doesn’t force me to spend money. It doesn’t deny me access to my hardware or my software. It doesn’t dictate when, where, or HOW I can use my computer.
That’s what they mean when they use the term “free.”
Not “free” as in money, because one should always support the development of the software they use whenever possible, but free as in FREEDOM.
