Here in Italy people started to share this figure claiming that this is the diagram of the 5G chip that has been inserted in the covid vaccine.
In reality it is the electric circuit of a guitar pedal and I believe that putting it in the covid vaccine has been an excellent idea💡

Wow, Apple seems to be all-in on Rust for low-level programming:
"Following a very successful first foray into Rust we are migrating an established codebase from C to Rust, and building new functionality primarily in Rust."

Great news, folks! The venue have been in touch and it has all been resolved amicably. Everyone is having a hard time right now, and hotels aren't an exception – I'm grateful they took the time to solve this personally 🙌
Sadly, our venue (👋 @ApexHotels) not only wants to keep our deposit, but also want us to pay £3000 more to cancel – despite us giving four months' notice, and being a charity event. I won't let this stop me: I'm giving every ounce of my energy to raise money for @SpecialEffect.
