Some days ago, a neighbor invited me over because she was donating books that belonged to her husband, who died from covid during the pandemic. There were a lot of books, and even by choosing only the ones which caught my attention, I was able to get over 100 different books.

It was the first donation I have ever received and I got really happy about it. I am already halfway through The Shining, which was in the collection. So it got me thinking about donation itself.

What about your experiences with it? And I am asking about donation of things, not money.

    It is indeed hard to go back. My current phone is the first one I haven’t flashed in +10 years. I think about it sometimes, but I fear I might lose my macro camera… I found out that I really like photographing insects.

      It proved impossible for me.I use the phone for almost nothing, but what I use it for is hindered a lot by the bloatware (and huge amount of ads). At the moment I’d rather use a 5-6u old device that’s debloated and rooted then a new one.
