Crested sun orchid (Thelymitra x irregularis) near Narrabarba, NSW. Two plants out here on a cool morning - just enough sun for the flowers to open!

This beautiful small orchid is a natural hybrid between T. ixioides (spotted sun orchid - which is common nearby) and T. carnea (pink sun orchid - which I've not seen here). This is the first time I've come across this orchid in NSW although I've seen a handful of plants near Genoa in East Gippsland, VIC (where it is regarded as rare).

Musk has backed down, paid the fine (to the right account, eventually), and now X is unblocked in Brazil, but I will be extremely surprised if this is the last time we see this chain of events play out.

Journalist Bob Woodward alleges that President Joe Biden calls Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "bad f***ing guy."

In his new book, legendary journalist Bob Woodward offers a remarkable look behind the scenes at President Joe Biden’s blunt, profanity-laced assessments and interactions with the world leaders who have shaped his presidency, from Benjamin Netanyahu to Vladimir Putin.

#Gaza #Palestine

It’s been one year since Israel began its war on Gaza, and since video journalist Bisan Owda picked up her camera to show the world what’s happening on the ground.

In that time, she’s been forced from her home into continuous displacement, had bombs fall around her and documented the stories of Palestinians surrounded by their decimated homes.

Why 'free' proprietary software will always end in tears


in reply to Jure Repinc

Paid proprietary software will too; the likes of Adobe and VMWare prove that.
in reply to Jure Repinc

Proprietary things are just a shit, that's it.
Non-free (sense of no money) is shit too. Accept donations but do not obligate them




Everyone runs a terminal program on their phone so they can push changes to their notes via git right? Completely normal behaviour yes? Not the slightest bit nerdy. No siree.

Doesn’t the “strange” center look/feel like it bubbling w/“creation”?
What life forms would emerge?

Stirs the imagination!

Russia benefits from this in 3 ways.

#Immigration disrupts the European polltic.

The #Israeli attacks distract from Russia's attack on #ukraine

#Putin can play peacemaker.

Could #Russia be behind the #Hamas Oct 7th attack?

If this should happen, they would need to pick a new address from us.
