Just a quick reminder...
If you’ve read my book, 'Drystone - A Life Rebuilt' I’d be grateful if you left a review wherever you prefer.
This isn’t a plea for 5 star ratings; it’s a request for honesty. Books are personal: I dislike plenty, feel neutral about many, and love a few. Whatever your response, reviews really help. A wall of 5-stars is wonderful, but it can also feel suspicious to readers. A mix of perspectives shows the book is being read seriously.

Here’s a crazy real-world consequence of a cyberattack: When Nevada's state systems went down, it meant DMV offices closed, dispatch lines were disrupted, and for a while, police couldn't even access state DMV records. A digital problem with very physical effects. #Tech

ÖPNV | Busfahren, wie auf der Ladefläche eines Pritschenwagens
Ich wollte einmal darauf hinweisen das einer der Gründe das viele selbst da wo der ÖPNV via Bus gut verfügbar und gut gemacht ist, die Verbindung via Bus meiden, da eine Fahrt damit nicht so viel angenehmer als auf der Ladefläche eines Pritschenwagens ist. Gerade bei längeren Strecken im ländlichen Bereich schlägt sich auch das massiv nieder.
Moderne Linienbusse sind in Sachen Barrierefreiheit und Transportkapazität den im ländlichen Bereich früher einmal oft eingesetzten Reisebussen in vielen überlegen, aber eben nicht in allem. Den wenn es um den Fahrkomfort geht, verlieren die modernen Linienbusse auf voller Länge. Da fangen die Busse schon bei kleinen Unebenheiten und schlechter Straße an zu rütteln und zu vibrieren wir irre, daran sich vor oder nach der Arbeit noch ein wenig zu erholen ist nicht zu denken. Das Smartphone, Tablet oder gar Laptop zu benutzen ist oft reine Glückssache und auch die Polsterung der Sitze die einiges abfangen könnte, wird seit vielen Jahren immer mieser. Ja das sind im Endeffekt Luxusprobleme und Überfüllung, ausgefallene Klimatisierung und Heizungen sind schlimmer. Aber das ist eben auch ein Punkt der sehr wichtig ist, wenn man Menschen davon überzeugen will von ihrem bequemen Auto auf den ÖPNV zu wechseln.

From MULTIPLE sources
Trump wants to forcibly remove the 2,000,000+ Gazans from their homeland and ship them off to some desert country.
The entire population of Gaza would be relocated and the United States would take control of the Palestinian territory under a plan being considered by the Trump regime.
Trump has plans to build Trump hotels on the seashore of what was Gaza!

On Wed Trump held a White House meeting with Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, Tony Blair and Jared Kushner to discuss ideas for how to relocate two million citizens and profit off the ruins of Gaza
Trump’s vow to own and redevelop Gaza into a new 'Riviera' provided a road map for a group of Israeli businessman.
Michael Eisenberg and Liran Tancman who helped launch the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) are now consulting on the 'postwar problem'.

Aber ist dieses Bild in der zentralen Nachrichtensendung des ÖRR würdig? Der arme Professor ist rot wie ein Krebs, weil er sich vermutlich selbst filmt, aber keinen Weißabgleich macht.
Früher hätte man ein Team dorthin geschickt, was natürlich deutlich Kosten verursacht. Mich gruseln solche Bilder, weil ich andere Qualitätsstandards kannte.
Das Bild zeigt zwei Männer in einem Zoom-Video-Call. Der Mann auf der linken Seite trägt einen dunkelblauen Anzug mit einem hellblauen Hemd und hat kurzes, braunes Haar. Er sitzt in einem Raum mit einem hellen Hintergrund und einem Teil eines Regals im Hintergrund. Der Mann auf der rechten Seite trägt einen dunkelblauen Anzug mit einem weißen Hemd und einem dunkelblauen Krawatten mit Punkten. Er steht vor einem blauen Hintergrund mit einem abstrakten, kreisförmigen Muster, das an eine Weltkarte erinnert. Beide Männer scheinen in einer professionellen Umgebung zu sein, möglicherweise für eine Fernsehübertragung oder eine Online-Veranstaltung.

"Educazione affettiva"?
Di tutte le parole magiche che circolano nel dibattito pubblico, una delle più abusate e al tempo stesso più vaghe è “educazione affettiva”.Uriel Fanelli (Das Böse Büro)
Un campo di rieducazione per me è ciò che fanno (stando alle informazioni che arrivano qui...) i cinesi. Io alludevo vagamente a qualcosa che non si è mai visto qui (forse?), una specie di "sabato fascista" per adulti, ovviamente ben conscio che non sia una gran bella proposta e ovviamente come tutti gli altri non sarebbe risolutiva.
Die Hard Trilogy (1997) for the SEGA Saturn.
Not to be confused with Die Hard Arcade—that one’s a beat-‘em-up. Trilogy is something else entirely: three completely different games on one disc, all playable with a light gun, and all wildly ambitious for the time.
You get a third-person shooter set inside Nakatomi Plaza. Then a chaotic driving game through the streets of New York. And finally, a first-person shooter that throws wave after wave of enemies at you until your trigger finger begs for mercy.
Also: yes, these Sega Saturn long boxes are fragile and oversized. But when they’re lined up on a shelf? Nothing looks better.

I was just trying to use the first feed with Calibre to generate an ePub that I can read on my eReader... It's a lot more convenient than trying to read it on my phone/laptop/desktop. But, IMO, anyone that wants to use those feed with an aggregator would probably find it annoying, IMO.

in reply to HB75 • • •The image features a QR code prominently displayed in the center, with a circular logo containing the text "ZEN tonic" in the middle. The QR code is black and white, with a complex pattern of squares and rectangles. Below the QR code, there is text in German that reads "Scannen, um der Gruppe 'zentonic δ' beizutreten," which translates to "Scan to join the group 'zentonic δ'." The background of the image is a light gray color, and the overall design is simple and clean, focusing on the QR code and the accompanying text.
