Barely one week into the Euro 2024 and the NY Times is already unhappy with DB: "While people from outside Germany have been aghast at the delays, those who live in the country are all too familiar with DB’s struggles. Trains are late. Trains do not turn up. Trains change destinations without warning. Connections are missed and people are left stranded".
I guess I was right two weeks ago: we *should* have let DB know about "the football thing".

Remembering Ivy Temple (1932-2024)

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and colleague Ivy Temple. She was one of the founders of All Sorts, a weekly chat and music programme on The Global voice, and enjoyed listening to, and participating in, various shows on the station.
We wish to extend our condolences to her friends and family.

The All Sorts team have produced an audio tribute in her memory.

@cas you did an incredible job on pma!5000 [1]! 🎉

For those unaware, they just significantly leveled up the #postmarketOS initramfs by:

- adding the ability to drop to a debug/rescue shell on boot by using hardware keys

- making it a lot easier to get logs for debugging initramfs issues

- improving hardware detection in the initramfs

- speeding up boot on many devices

The website says that the BT Speak has 8 gb ram. Is there any way to upgrade to it?

@Lprazdnik The upgrade path to go from the 4 GB board to an 8 GB board costs $150.00.

'Deaths happen within 48 hours': Rare flesh-eating bacteria spreads in Japan

The bacteria can kill people within 48 hours. It has been spreading after the country relaxed Covid-era restrictions.

🚨 #BREAKING

Former CDC director predicts bird flu pandemic

📌 He also noted that bird flu has a “significant mortality” when it enters humans compared to COVID-19.

Redfield predicts the mortality is “probably somewhere between 25 and 50 percent mortality.”

“I really do think it’s very likely that we will, at some time it’s not a question of if it’s more of a question of when we will have a bird flu pandemic,” Redfield said.



A third case of mammal-to-human transmission of the highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu virus has been reported in the U.S.

U.S. hospitals need to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
