Well, if Australia’s sporting heroes say that these paintings shouldn’t be on display, who are we to argue?

So, a new computer that works like an old computer?
Next there’ll be a bipartisan bill to bring back the Howard-era sedition laws, complete with anti-boycott provisions. Only the Greens and perhaps the Lambioids will vote against it.
Clownshoes Churchill at it again
You’d think that, as a French company, they’d have expected this
Given its scarcity, helium should be more expensive, to the point where filling party balloons with it is decadent profligacy.
It’s not meant to be funny, it’s meant to be a salve to a specific kind of soul. If you don’t feel the effects, that kind of soul isn’t yours.
Everything old is new again
I know it’s anachronistic, but I’m imagining The Cure’s “Killing An Arab” as the music
This would be one of the submarines China is hiding in the sea?

A miserable little pile of secrets, but only if it’s featherless and bipedal
Ireland has been independent for about a century and outside the Gaeltacht, everybody speaks English, and yet Irish (i.e. Gaelic) is still taught to all pupils and used on official documents. In Wales (which, for most administrative purposes, is a part of an entity known as England-and-Wales), signage has to be in both English and Welsh, and official agencies have to provide services in Welsh; there are few monolingual Welsh speakers and anecdotally the popularity of Welsh of said to alternate generationally (i.e., if your parents don’t speak it, it’s cool).

Going by Apple’s transition from Intel to ARM, an ARM-based Steam Deck would be a no-brainer. They could make it a lot less bulky, ditch the cooling fans and still bump up performance.
ARM64 is already here (Apple have replaced Intel with it, and Windows PC vendors are following suit), it’s just, as William Gibson put it, not evenly distributed. Mainstream high-performance ARM devices are imminent in a way that RISC-V isn’t yet.
The Brits? Try the Third Crusade.
To the vatniks, he was just another “amer”, like the ones ransomware gangs target: soft, fat, stupid, greedy, barely human and deserving only of contempt. For a while he was a useful idiot, gullibly thinking he could be an Orc like them, but once the amusement value wore out, it was time to get rid of him.
The Swedish government’s environmental policies can be summarised as “whatever makes Greta cry”
Isn’t Australia still a country where bikes are sold as sporting goods alongside cricket bats and gym mats, rather than as practical devices one would use in everyday life?
