I regularly buy a dozen bottles of Badger Ale and 2 packs of mushrooms at my local supermarket. I put them on the conveyor belt in that order hoping the cashier will burst into song as they put them through the till, but they never do.

A year into having home #solar, the numbers are in!

45% of our annual household consumption was generated by the solar system (in rainy Northern Ireland), though we were only able to use 33% due to having no batteries. 33% represents a saving of over £1000 on energy costs.

@neongod I remember that I typed in games printed in magazines like that in the 80s

@USBTypeSteve

I apologize for not keeping up with the numbers all year for the #stopkillinggames initiative. After Finland got 100% in less than a month, and Germany followed up soon after (and Poland, and Sweden...) I assumed that I did not need to remind folks, and that the reminding would have a negative effect.

I was also unaware of the crap from a certain "pirate games" which ... not going to go there, just "boot to the head" is required. Repeated boots to the head.

So. Let's go over some things.

@madcap and ps (you know ps your nick is too difficult to search for (: ) : Portugal is ALMOST 100%. Y'all should be able to ace that. FRANCE went over 100%. SPAIN went over 100%.

FINLAND HAS OVER 250% OF THE SIGNATURES NEEDED. GERMANY AND POLAND: OVER 200%.

This is a win for everyone and right now we really need a win given how CRAP so many other things are, and it's a way to strike back at big companies who hate humans.

Dammit go sign already
(edit: spell stop killing games correctly)

German magazine "Politik und Kultur", Germany's largest cultural policy newspaper, published it's July/August edition, which features a special issue on demoscene and retro-computing. (in German)

It's in total 14(!) pages of articles, interviews and demoscene art (executable graphics and screenshots from demos, together with code snippets that create parts of the screen/image).

It's a great showcase of the demoscene, through the traditional media lens.

Read it here: https://www.kulturrat.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/PuK-07-08-2025.pdf

This is how you beat an #Amiga demoscene world record.
