A Gökçeada, in Turchia, oltre le spiagge affollate di turisti s’incrociano le storie della comunità greca, dei nuovi migranti e dei turchi cacciati dalla Bulgaria. L'articolo di Toest.

L’isola dell’esilio e del rito...

A complaint sent by a son to his mother in 1750 BC Mesopotamia:

“From year to year, the clothes of the young gentlemen here become better, but you let my clothes get worse from year to year. Indeed, you persisted in making my clothes poorer and more scanty. At a time when in our house wool is used up like bread, you have made me poor clothes. The son of Adad-iddinam, whose father is only an assistant of my father, has two new sets of clothes, while you fuss even about a single set of clothes for me. In spite of the fact that you bore me and his mother only adopted him, his mother loves him, while you, you do not love me!”

Prediction: Now that modern computing is going the way it goes (pricing, "AI", the bunch of rich ignorants running the show), I guess we are going to see another renaissance of #vintagecomputing #permacomputing and #retrocomputing. And I’m absolutely and utterly here for that.

This 2020 paper is a good and reasonably up to date history of Emacs Lisp.

@mekkaokereke yeah, Spartans kinda sucked, actually.

"The Torment Nexus does unspeakable harm to other people and the planet, but it solves a problem for me, so if you don't like it you're oppressing me."

"press 1 if you would like to listen to bird song instead of normal hold music"

If I were to ever recommend a financial services company (and I won't) then it would be this one.

C'est une décision qui fait bondir la Ligue pour la protection des oiseaux.

La chasse à la tourterelle des bois vient d'être officiellement réautorisée par le gouvernement pour la saison 2026-2027.

Un arrêté ministériel autorise désormais les chasseurs à tuer 12 000 tourterelles sur l’ensemble du territoire hexagonal. Un quota revu à la hausse.

La chasse à la tourterelle des bois avait été suspendue en France en 2021 à cause de l’inquiétant déclin des populations.

@only_ohm exactly!

I dismissed that CAPTCHA because I had no clue what it was, and got the animals one instead. It was only when composing the post above and writing the alt text for it that I could just about make out that it’s a mobile phone 🤦‍♂️
