My Dad had an Atari 1040ST which we were allowed to play games on occasionally. The first computer that was my own was an Amiga 500, which came with Lemmings - glorious, glorious days...

Interesting move by Twinkl Education resources.

They have "proudly created by humans" stamps over the website.

A refreshing change to all the businesses jumping on the AI bandwagon.

I really love @ghost.org, we're using it for the CTO Craft newsletter. It has some shortcomings around analytics, sadly - I'm thinking of building a sister app for those running their own instance...
