I've been eyeing but its hard to pay brand new prices for something that's not unused.
Especially something as consumable as a hard drive.

No Tools for You: A Century of Men Policing Womenâs Tools@adafruit@fosstodon.org Shit like this is why I can't upgrade my NAS this year. The machine which stores the VM where my local git server lives, and the pool which contains the repos themselves.
Its why replacing broken parts cost more than buying brand new hardware did two years ago.
Why so many of our fellow open source developers are getting absolutely bombarded by useless pull requests.
AI companies are the reason women like me are gatekept from the tools they need to create and share their creations.

Those same men would only take issue with a man using a vacuum cleaner because its "a woman's job".
People take issue with generative AI for a multitude of reasons, most of which are completely unrelated to "laziness", have nothing to do with sex/gender, and everything to do with enabling venture capitalists to drain the planet of its resources.
As a woman who makes her creations herself, I find this extremely insulting.
Fucking do better.
