This is a pretty impressive demo for the #Sega #MegaDrive / #SegaGenesis. I just tested it out and it runs exactly as you see here on real hardware. The sound isn't exactly has HQ as you see here, but it's the same music. #retrogaming https://youtu.be/OLcuoxklTJo?si=_IDooXnPmAQpqsMl

For anyone ever needing to know this: to get the red dot pointers on #thinkpad laptops to work normally on #ubuntu, you need to:
1. install gnome-tweaks
2. go to "mouse & touchpad"
3. disable "pointing stick acceleration"
this took me months to find out lol #linux

Dr. Judith HubbardA M8.8 earthquake just ruptured the subduction zone offshore Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula. This is one of the world’s truly huge earthquakes, and a triggered tsunami is currently traveling across the Pacific ocean.
This same fault ruptured on July 20th in a M7.4, and last August in a M7.1. We wrote about those earthquakes, wondering: should they be considered warnings of elevated risk? We didn't have a good answer then, and we still don't.

asking for a friend: who would know where/how to join the european push to build a decent alternative to US tech? (ie. amazon, ..) #digitalautonomy
Jan PenfratFor weeks I have been telling reporters that #Trump could have the power to switch off our tech in #Europe. It felt a bit alarmist until I just read that #Microsoft, on the behest of the #US gov, has suspended the email account of Karim Khan, the #ICC chief prosecutor.
One of the most important international courts and a legal bulwark against #genocide, crimes against humanity, and #warcrimes is threatened by #BigTech dependency.

Trump's sanctions on ICC prosecutor have halted tribunal's work
Nearly three months ago, U.S. President Donald Trump slapped sanctions on the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan. He has lost access to his email and his bank accounts have been frozen. American staffers at The Hague-based court also have been told that if they travel to the U.S. they risk arrest. In addition, some nongovernmental organizations have stopped working with the ICC. Rights groups say these problems will prevent victims of war crimes from getting justice.
