It's really good, for someone who hasn't coded in Basic I'm having lots of fun with it 😁

Yes definitely, would be great! I've got this one which came with my Acorn Electron #Retrocomputing #Acorn #Electron #AcornElectron

Got an idea to make the Linux Mint logo as a neon sign desktop wallpaper a couple of days ago.

Do it, Linux Mint is great and easy!

Played his first full game since last season in dismal Swedish performance, only created one chance for him which possibly should have scored. Good to see him getting 90 minutes! #LFC #SWESWI

Updated the AppViews explainer with a write-up on how AppViews (and the ATproto building blocks) compare to the current status quo in Fediverse software, and what issues they solve.

Shoutout and huge thank you to @thisismissem.social who helped me FINALLY, truly get it.

If I had to pick a second great core value, it was the one going around recently:

You can just do things.

I'd put both of those to paper because, man, they're great.

Want to remark on a sentiment I've heard from the AT dev community ‒ in specific words, even, from @bmann.ca, @knowtheory.net, and @rude1.blacksky.team, which I'll likely botch here:

Lead with joy, not fear.

I think that belief shows up a lot, and it's really affected me for the better!

Article about Liverpool, losing 3 games in a row, the loss of Diogo Jota and the superficiality of all football analysis x www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Liverpool go to work and Diogo Jota is not there. Why wouldn’t that affect them? | Max Rushden

We know so little about players’ personal feelings. It means everyone’s analysis of the game is fundamentally superficial

Pubs could stay open longer under Starmer plan to revive British night out

Who will provide extra police, staff, public services?

Nights out restricted due to cost of living crisis

Govt can help hospitality industry by cutting energy/water bills, rents, improving public transport.

The BBC still furiously peddling the fiction that Trump "railroaded" Netanyahu into a peace deal.

No, the US could have secured a deal any time over the past two years by ending the shipments of bombs.

Washington *chose* to keep the genocide going till Gaza was levelled.

My kid's Clacton nursery has cut hot lunches for toddlers to save money, and sent round leaflets to parents advising us on preparing packed lunches for around 90p per day.

They have no waiting list for places because there's so few jobs here worth doing once you've covered childcare.

Twelve Jobs Nigel has earned over £1 million in additional income since the general election.

To understand the scale of it, since the July 2024 election he's earned roughly £100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM.
