Technically this isn't an actual acorn; it's a eucalyptus seed pod, but it looks very similar in size and features.

Might anyone be able to find the BBC Basic source of "A Meagre Demonstration" which is a Boing demo for the Archimedes - from back in the day? Asking for a friend.
As seen on the BBC’s computer news programme Micro Live. Broadcast on BBC One, 14 December 1987, presented by Fred Harris and Lesley Judd. Also repackaged in Micro File 2, episode The Generation Game.

🪨 PipeDream on the Acorn Archimedes 🛠️
A truly unique combination. We have the first ARM-based home computer, powering a bespoke OS, running software that says, "The barriers between productivity apps are a lie we tell ourselves."
This introduced so many new technologies, I had to run a check on "Where are they now?" The ARM chip's legacy is a given, but the other stuff in the stack might surprise you.

Had a good day with my eldest. We went to the National Museum Of Computers at legendary Bletchley Park. I've been before, but he hadn't.
Despite his anxiety, he lasted a couple of hours which was better than I expected.

La cosa più interessante degli Acorn Archimedes: montano le prime CPU ARM, le stesse su cui oggi si basano i comuni smartphones e dispositivi come Raspberry pi.
E' davvero una bella macchina nell'insieme, seppure sia stata meno popolare e diffusa rispetto ai giganti Amiga e AtariST.@[email protected] @giochi @computer @[email protected]

The most interesting thing: it uses an early ARM chip, the same platform that today powered your smartphone, Raspberry and many other low-power or portable device.

Due to a cancelled walk, I spent yesterday #walking up and down hills with the "Thousand Foot" group in #Surrey and along the #NorthDownsWay, rather than my usual Ramblers lot. Good exercise and a lot of interesting things to see!

On a #hiking #date with my wife, we love #rural #travel and found our way to a local #forest in #Ontario
#Fall is arguably the best #season to take #photos in, there are so many #color palettes to pick from, from #green to #red and #orange
Disclaimer: the leaf was not captured falling. If you take a closer look, you'll find #nature helped me take this as a static/still image.

KITCHENER INTRODUCES RENOVICTION BY-LAW
On June 23, 2025, Kitchener city council directed their staff to draft a renoviction by-law. Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) delegates pushed the council to end bad faith evictions, or renovictions. These are due to a landlord’s desire or need to renovate, thus leading to residents moving out of apartments they can afford.
Similar bylaws were introduced in London and Hamilton this year to protect residents after being served a N13 eviction notice, given when a landlord intends to renovate or demolish a rental property, or convert it to a non-residential use.
“The Region of Waterloo’s Building Better Futures Plan supports the creation and preservation of affordable housing, and we work collaboratively with all levels of government to advance affordable housing in our community,” Scott Cressman, Senior Communications Advisor for the Region of Waterloo, said.
The London by-law came into effect in March 2025. It requires landlords to apply for a license within one week of serving a tenant with a N13 eviction notice.
The bylaw forces landlords to submit a report that is certified by an engineer or architect proving the renovations need the unit to be temporarily vacant. The City of Kitchener council is considering a similar format.
In January 2024, Hamilton became the first city in Ontario to adopt a renoviction by-law. Setting the precedent for the Kitchener bylaw, it will require a landlord to apply for city renovation license within seven days of issuing a N13 eviction notice. The license fee will be $715 per unit, and $125 to renew per annum.
“In Ontario, tenant displacement and eviction protection policies fall within the jurisdiction of the province or local area municipalities. This includes rental replacement by-laws related to the renovation, conversion and demolition of rental housing,” Cressman said.
Bill 97, The Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, Subsection 50 [3] was re-anacted so that landlords are to give notices of a termination of tenancy when they require the possession of a rental unit to do repairs or renovations. This, however, has left many tenants in the Waterloo Region still vulnerable to renoviction.
“This was a provincial law that happened, made it so basically any new builds or renovated builds had no cap on rent that could be charged. And then certain amoral landlords saw that as an opportunity to falsify renovations or minor improvements or whatnot, to get tenants out,” Linda Vos, a leader for the 250 Frederick ACORN tenant union, said.
Vos became involved with ACORN in November of 2023 when one of her neighbours at 250 Frederick St. reached out to ACORN with concerns about their new landlord. ACORN helped them thoroughly when news of the landlord’s history of renoviction spread. Willing tenants of the building were signed up for mailing lists pertinent to their situation, and planned marches to City Hall immediately.
“We are hoping that Kitchener and Waterloo both come back with in their drafts that have these strong renoviction protections for tenants, ACORN has been fighting for specific features in the renovation by laws for years now,” Vos said.

Scenes from Oroville, CA
The indigenous California peoples harvested acorns and ground the meal on stone mortars using stone pestles. One of the saddest stories is Ishi, the the last known member of the Native American Yahi people. In 1911, aged 50, he emerged at a barn and corral, 2 mi from downtown Oroville. The rest of the Yahi were killed in the California genocide in the 19th century. #NativeAmerican #indigenouspeople #indigenous #Oroville #California #acorn #ButteCounty #history -
Huh, so since I've moved instance I guess I should do an introduction...
I'm a super left leaning, increasingly grumpy, queer Welsh/Sri-Lankan #trans woman (she/her) living in the PNW of the US (now there was an error...).
I'm an ex technical writer, ex sys-admin, ex-biochemist, now a #CleanTransportation #Journalist with @show, and an ER nurse in the (horrific, unconscionably cruel, immoral, unethical & collapsing) US #healthcare 'system'.
I also write under the name Anesha Griffiths. Well, I've written a book (and am part way through another).
My toots encompass mainly incessant rambling about household #DIY (and my wife and I's endless renovation project - just feel sad you can't go back and relive the excitement of the tiling master thread). Also #gardening #cooking #chickens #making #retrocomputing and #repair. Particularly with #Acorn computers - my first love.
Also...I'm very slowly converting my 1969 #Morris1000 to electric, so expect wittering about that...and of course expect ranting about the genocide being enacted on trans folks right now.
I try not to boost posts without alt-tagging, and I try to be good about tagging images (but I do fuck up sometimes).
Nazis and TERFs can fuck right off.
This ain't my work account. So Musk can fuck off too - although he's really covered under the previous admonishment.
Expect nothing and I'll probably manage to deliver. But no promises.
