Remember how on Battlestar Galactica none of the systems were wired into each other and everything was done via sheets of hexagonal paper?
Not a bad idea really

Notice from the Admiralty
We are aware that some battlemech pilots engage in so-called "dance-offs" in their spare time. We have allowed this as harmless fun.
However, after seeing the viral clip of Jaeger-845D and Jaeger-922H do the tango we must make a public statement:
Woof!
I bet Eldonius Rex is on it.
Tex Talks Battletech has lots of great artists work on their videos, and feature such great works as:
The pinwheeling, double-armed Marauder melee slapfight
The Urbie Derby
A Charger in a track and field number jersey being chased by a police Urbanmech, which is keeping pace by virtue of wearing stomped-in police cars as rollerskates
If you're mad about Google killing short links all over the Internet, and are saying things like "let's scrape it all before it goes down", I suggest checking out https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_Warrior. Some chaotic good people are well ahead of you in terms of planning, and have a VM image you can run to lend some compute and bandwidth to the effort. It's like SETI of old, but for praxis against internet vandals like Google.

"I want to remind the court once more that my reasons for taking action were not beliefs or opinions. Earth’s life-support systems are breaking down due to human activities, whether we believe it or not." - Cressida Gethin, court statement
She was sentenced to four years in jail.
I think NAT is to blame for a lot of the internet being the way it is. Without NAT (which I have been able to avoid, myself) one can tinker with running a small web site at home, for fun. If nothing else it helps understand it all. Even something totally silly like my weather station here at https://yfenni.cymru

Long COVID rates have declined, especially among the vaccinated, study finds
In large study, rates of long COVID fell from 10% to 3.5% for the vaccinated.
Ah joy ... Google is turning off its URL shortener and breaking every link that ever used it:
https://developers.googleblog.com/en/google-url-shortener-links-will-no-longer-be-available/
A quick search on lore.kernel.org:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=goo.gl%2F
...turns up about 19,000 messages with affected links. That's a lot of history that is going to become harder (or impossible) to find.

NVIDIA transitions fully towards open-source GPU Linux kernel modules
It's a bit of a Linux news day today - it happens - but this one is good news we can all be happy about. After earning a bad reputation for mishandling its Linux graphics drivers for years, almost decades, NVIDIA has been turning the ship around these past two years, and today they made a major annou
“Young people don’t take well to bigoted leaders who attack LGBTQ+ rights, outlaw abortion, cozy up to gun manufacturers + oil execs, and support a rapist for President."
"If you want to be cool so badly, try giving a damn about other people beyond yourself. Might open a few doors."
AOC responding to #Republican attempts to make voting for them appear radical to students.
This should be the #Democrat message on repeat. Appeal to the future, not the past.
I just wrote to my MP expressing my concern about the 5 year sentence given to Roger Hallam (and co) of Just Stop Oil and I implore you to do the same.

I dream that one day this travesty of justice will be avenged. Non-violent protest to alert others to #ClimateBreakdown should not be punished with 5 year prison sentences.
It will be the CEOs and boards of #BigOil companies in the dock for knowingly polluting and frying our planet and in the process killing untold numbers of humans, animals and other life forms.

“Today is a dark day for peaceful environmental protest. This sentence should shock the conscience of any member of the public. It should also put all of us on high alert on the state of civic rights and freedoms in the United Kingdom.”
Michel Forst, the UN’s special rapporteur on environmental defenders, who attended part of the trial.
“What sort of country locks people away for years for planning a peaceful demonstration, let alone for talking about it on a Zoom call? We’re giving a free hand to the polluting elite robbing us of a habitable planet while jailing those who’re trying to stop them – it makes no sense.”
Greenpeace UK’s programme director, Amy Cameron
If it’s possible to hold #FossilFuel companies to legal account for their role in #ClimateBreakdown and extreme weather in France…then why not the UK?
