On Aug. 12, 1981, the great grandfather of the computers we all know today was born: the IBM PC. Who, among all the nerds, excited then, could predict that 40 years later the grand-grand-children of the IBM PC, with ifinitely more computing power, will be used mainly to watch porn and spread hate?

Day 5 of my Global Meteor Detection System. Just one camera at the moment but some nice Perseids captured last night despite the cloud cover and moonlight. #meteor #perseids @southcheshireastro.bsky.social

Moon and Venus conjunction. A bit of a grab shot as cloud and rain was rolling in. 2 mins later, they were gone. It looks dim, but the moon is correctly exposed. DSLR and 400mm lens
