Description comic of four panels:

Panel 1: Canary being offered a copy of Peter Kropotkin's "The conquest of bread" it's angry and screaming "GET THAT PROPAGANDA OUT OF MY FACE!"

Panel 2: It chomps on the book

Panel 3: It tastes the book

Panel 4: It's full of bliss. The Anarchy- and mutual aid symbols are floating above its' head.

The Duff CEO with a Windows-Logo on his forehead: "Gamers use Windows because of its' user experience not our de facto monopoly."

Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.

One of the most toxic elements of democracy brain is viewing 51% as victory and 49% as defeat.

Hi! Maybe y'all can help me out.

I have a Miyoo mini plus and sometimes, I feel the itch to play something just to fiddle around a bit. I'm looking for something that's easy to pick up and pla' for a few minutes up to maybe half an hour.

Bonus points if I can play it without needing to use my speech recognizing brain functions. It would be ideal if I can just occupy my hands a pit while still listening to what my colleagues say in remote meetings (I used to use a rubik's cube for that). ADD is a bitch.

I already got:

• Apotris (really awesome, but a bit stressful after a while)
• Wario Ware (can also get a bit stressful)
• Pokemon Pinball Saphire and ruby (great, but has gotten a bit repetitive now)
• ... that's it

It doesn't have to be GB/GBA, but I recon that those systems have the biggest bounty of pick up and play games. The Miyoo Mini Plus can emulate everything up to PS1, so SNES and PS1 would be fine, too.

Europe has one of the most diverse seed industries in the world. In Germany, the Netherlands and France alone, hundreds of small breeders are creating new varieties of cereals, vegetables and legumes.

Relying on decades of careful selection to improve desired traits like yield, disease resistance and flavour, they adapt seeds to local environments through methods like cross-breeding.

This legion of plant breeders help maintain Europe’s biodiversity and ensure that our food supplies stay plentiful. But their work is under growing threat from the patent industry.

Although it’s illegal to patent plants in the EU, those created through technological means are classified as a technical innovation and so can be patented.

This means that small-scale breeders can no longer freely plant these seeds or use them for research purposes without paying licensing fees.
