Finally got Linux on the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go (Jasper Lake)! 🔓
The battery disconnect trick failed, so I had to bridge specific pads on the motherboard to flash the firmware.
See how I did it + gaming tests:

For screen readers to recognize headings, heading text can't just be body text or normal text that's been made to look bigger and bolder. It must be formatted as a heading. In Microsoft Word and Google Docs, this can be done in the styles box. In HTML, use the tags h1 through h6.

In Chicago, people carry whistles in their hands while walking. They feed their neighborhoods despite cuts to SNAP.
In the worst of times, you see the best of humanity too.

Re: #SNAP loss - everyone seems to focus on families with kids, and rightly so, but people, please check on your #elderly neighbors. They may not be as connected or aware, they might not drive, and the need will be significant. Please make sure they have access to #food as best you can.

Buying an inflatable chicken suit to help fight tyranny in my neighborhood seems about right to me.
It may be a small thing, but humor can be a weapon.

Pleasant day out in my neighborhood in Chicago. There was a farmer’s market and people are out strolling, chatting, and sitting out on porches. Just like every weekend.
Except now most of us are wearing whistles to alert neighbors if unidentified guys in tactical gear show up to kidnap people.
