A slice of Raspberry Pi: how to build a retro games machine;
With a £34 mini computer & an emulator, gaming’s entire back catalog opens up... But there are important points to consider – not least questions of legality
I wish more people knew about and would use OpenGPG it may not be perfect, but at least we can sign e-mails. If more people used it, then I would not get recipients trying to open a .asc file thinking it was an attachment.
Not sure about this, but now it has spread, mainstream media seem to be taking an interest.
I am not going to read too much in to this without evidence.
I would much rather help spread facts and the importance of vaccines etc.
Is there a similar info graphic for Mpox we can sahre too ?
I wonder if we asked Ai what to do about this, it would probably sa cut down on energy use to reduce emissions, suggested by the very technology that is putting the power and water grids under huge strain.

Fun science fact I learned this morning. Every frog species can be traced back to a common ancestor in what is now Poland. Isn't that amazing? It means every frog is a tad Pole.
Yesss, the revolution contiues.

Considering the popularity of American football, shouldn’t the phrase have been ”Go the whole ten yards”?
Good point, It was for more than a week though rather than a whole weekend. But I get your point.
We need to deal with the issues that led to the riots, starting misinformation about who killed the 3 girls.

#Gaza #Palestine
#IsraelWarCrimes
In a passionate speech at a UNSC session on August 13, Palestine’s Ambassador to the UN Riyad H. Mansour pleads with world leaders to put their loved ones in place of Palestinians killed in Gaza to understand the extent of Israeli brutality.
"What if the prisoner raped was your son? What if the children starving to death were your own? What if that woman killed was your daughter or your wife [..] killed in cold blood," Mansour Mansour asked.

Up on the moor for sunrise. A morning of rapidly shifting cloud and sunlight, heather in flower, a heavy, sparkling dew and midges at a nuisance level I rarely encounter outside Scotland.
That may be the case as these e-mails seem to come from different senders

"A previous mpox public health emergency, declared in 2022, was caused by the relatively mild Clade 2. However, this time it is the far more deadly Clade 1 - which has killed up to 10% of those getting sick in previous outbreaks - that is surging."
"WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the potential for further spread within Africa and beyond "is very worrying".
"A co-ordinated international response is essential to stop this outbreak and save lives," he said."
