@m0xee @djlink I agree, my netbook is 10+ years old, works fine, I can type this message on it, and other software works fine too. As with the desktop it can be slow at times. I think I have fixed the issue with my desktop, the wired network is very slow, so I just switched over to a wifi adapter yesterday properly, and disabled the wired connection.
I think there could be more to gen-z than what is being reported, maybe some people are so used to getting the latest tech, clothing, could be an narcisstic trait that they feel they need to show something off.
If we are happy with what we have, who cares what others think.

@zleap
The only computer that is "younger" than a decade at my place is the phone I'm typing this on. Which is a cheap phone, but I still consider it too powerful. Do I have to be ashamed of my dual Xeon Mac Pro or my even more dated dual G5 Power Mac? These machines are legends!
To be honest, I thought this was a joke first, but maybe I just don't get most of Gen Z 🤷

Can we please be our own country in Europe now?
I see a trend with the Tory Government, new harassment bill protects WOMEN.
The want to block this bill due to some **perceived** risks to Women and girls.
What about harassment of, and risks to Men and Boys or is that acceptable to the Tory government ?
We need laws based on Evidence that back up any claims of risks, and not base these actions on fear or profiling of people based on prejudice or ignorance.

Currently looking at Uxn, which is an 8-bit virtual machine capable of running graphical apps. This stack-machine has 32 opcodes, and no registers.
I'm running it in an emulator, and it's a lot of fun.
Some apps I've tried:
1. Calculator
2. Cat Clock
3. Text editor
4. Draw
This actually reminds me of using GEOS back when I had a C64.
See screenshots of apps.

RT @Neurofourier@twitter.com
10/10 Thread.
The "analysis" from experts on here on T Cells these past few weeks have been astoundingly bad and as Benjamin noted "...the authors of a paper play up "important" statistical differences" with folks amplifying these tweets. https://twitter.com/BenMazer/status/1605789758591889408

@yogthos If reports of what they have done are accurate then they deserve the rest of their life in a Ugandan Prison.
I would rather they showed their true colours while in opposition, then after they won an election.
Kinda like Kanye west (know now as Ye), announced he wanted to run for president, then apparently made some anti-Semitic tweets.

I can’t get over $TSLA losing over half its value in 3 months because of its CEO’s side hustle to buy Twitter.
There’s been no material negative news about the company. Just a realization that his reputation is overhyped and investors are now fleeing.
The stock market is vibes.
Agreed, lets see what happens. in the new year and if we can encourage more people to join.
@pennNeuroKnow Welcome :)

Excited for an #introduction 👋!
📝 We are Penn NeuroKnow, a #neuroscience blog run by PhD students in the University of Pennsylvania’s Neuroscience Graduate Group.
👩🔬 👨🔬 Our goal is to share our love of neuroscience with you all. Each post breaks down a different topic in neuroscience, ranging from general neuroscience knowledge to summaries of exciting new studies that are changing how we think about the brain.
🧠 Recent topics have included why we get the hiccups, how the octopus controls its arms, and how neuroscientists are starting to realize that what they thought was noise might not actually be so noisy.
⏰ We’ll be sharing links to our latest posts with short summaries every Tuesday when they go live. We’re looking forward to sharing our posts and engaging with the community here!

🧠 To end 2022 we asked our writers what got them excited about neuroscience this year. Their answers ranged from new discoveries that are changing how we think about the brain and curing brain diseases to the papers that inspired their own thesis work.
❓ Now we want to hear from you! What got you excited about neuroscience this year?

It will reach a point where we can really start to question the ethics of those who remain on Twitter.
Not in a malicious way but it may start to affect peoples credibility when they claim to have strong values but continue to be on a platform that clearly has very little regard for a lot of things we count as important.

@mcnees What does the "St" as a salutation in front of his name signify?
@AyeshaNoor These devices are fascinating, not only do they have beauty, but they were so ahead of their time.
