New blog post - a combination of how I got into emulation, that I pre-ordered the Retroid Flip 2, and some other notes about different handhelds and controllers I looked into before settling on the purchase.
Wow I thought my photo of the Moon had some artifacts....it seems no....those are the Pleiades...
Had to zoom in:
Then took my binoculars to get closer:
Not the best quality but still :).

The Sickness-Society: either you are well and functional — or sick and dysfunctional - madintheuk.com/2025/03/the-sic…
Psychology is like recycling, you think it is working, but it is not. Never addresses the core problem. So easy to put people into categories and call them "sick". Works well for a livestock society. Best excuse to never touch the system in both cases. Continue recycling...continue labeling people as mentally ill. And let the system survive....
Truth is the opposite. It is this trade-based society that makes people mentally sick, and if we want to change that we have to change the society, not adjust the people to it.
Very good and on point article!

Friday Support Group
Busy session again on Friday. We got to fixing a Lenovo G550 which was
in pieces to start with. Freya did an amazing job to reassemble it. A
bit more to work to do to fully refurbish this laptop. We also worked
with another donation. It was wiped and installed with Linux Mint. As
it's quite slow, we might look to put another version of GNU / Linux or
BSD onto it. Extending the life of devices is one of the many benefits
of using GNU / Linux instead of Windows and OS X. Another of our
members has recently installed Linux Mint onto their laptop and is
getting to grips with AI. So, a diverse session!
We are working towards a permanent space in the Hub for various computer
projects. We are also looking to set up our own server. Thanks to
Ashley for providing a computer for free to do just that! We welcome
donations of devices as well as new members. Our sessions are Thursdays
2-5pm and Fridays 10am-1pm at the brilliant Swindon Hub.
