The addition of googly eyes really improved @Wimpress OnePlus 6.

I have this barely used Raspberry Pi 2 Model B v1.1 on my desk doing nothing. What should I use it for? With *minimal* hardware outlay, what would *you* suggest I do with it? (I already have a PiCade/RetroPie, so not that :D). I want to do new things with it. Suggestions please?

Why have a fruit bowl when you can have a cat bowl?

@popey upower -i $(upower -e | grep BAT) | grep --color=never -E "state|to\ full|to\ empty|percentage"
Is there a "better" way to get the remaining battery on Linux from the command line than "upower -d | grep percentage"?
Yes! The latest ZX Spectrum Next update is out. Looking awesome. Can't wait to get mine. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1835143999/zx-spectrum-next/posts/2265647

I love Nathan Barnatt's stuff. You might too. Here's his short film, "Neutral". He worked hard on it. You should watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4A_AZP8Lko

I'm not happy with how the Wil Wheaton situation was resolved. An admin was overwhelmed with frivolous reports about him and felt forced to exile him. I've said before that I think it sets a dangerous precedent on how a large group of people can mobilize to drive anyone off the fediverse. Mob rule is universally dangerous: Mods and admins must examine evidence and decide based on wrongdoing and danger, and not on how many times someone was reported.
New Ubuntu Podcast episode.
This week we've been upgrading a Steam box. We discuss Steam Play beta and Proton, Google's salty disclosure of security issue in the Android installer for Fortnite, and Windows 95 being available for all the things. We also round up the community news.

I am undecided which is more annoying. A web page slowing down my browser, or the browser telling me "A web page is slowing down your browser. What would you like to do? [Stop It] [Wait] X". Which page!? This dialog is so infuriating.
