Bookmarked Raspberry (steve-best.github.io)

I'm pleased to report that our iMac is now better than ever, thanks to Raspberry Pi Desktop for PC and Mac (also known as Debian with Raspberry Pi Desktop). What exactly is this operating system with an incredibly long name? It is a Linux distro based on Debian with the Raspberry Pi's desktop environment. (This is not actually the operating system that is typically installed on the Raspberry Pi devices (Raspberry Pi OS), but Debian with Raspberry Pi Desktop and Raspberry Pi OS are incredibly similar.)

Looking at mum’s old intel iMac in the back room…

Yesterday I saw this wee one struggling in the grass just as drizzle stopped and the sun came out. I carefully lifted it up held it in the sunlight and it flew off. A Dark Green Fritillary I think.

Liked Edtech is killing us: Random notes on a Neil Selwyn talk about edtech and climate crisis (ammienoot.com)

we currently live in a period of edtech excess and that this is fuelling increasing disadvantage and climate crisis. He remains sceptical, like many of us, that the answer to these big problems is yet more tech.

A tiny thought on the current uk news. It worries me they way politicians use Twitter to post letters of resignation & the like. Trusting Twitter with something so important seems like a mistake. Surly they should post somewhere they control & forward to Twitter #indieweb
