Wow! Over 100 of you have shown incredible commitment by becoming life members of BITS—what an extraordinary milestone! Just last year, we added over 68 life memberships (68 times $200), which is truly phenomenal. Your passion and dedication are driving real change.
Be proud, everyone—together, we’re not just making a difference; we’re changing lives!
With gratitude,
Jeff Bishop
BITS President

A blue/white flash of light and we emerge from jumpspace. Sensors indicate we have escaped the toxic anarchy causing the X (boat) network to collapse.
#BITS is a UK publisher supporting the #travellerrpg - we’ve been pretty quiet since the pandemic, but are starting to emerge once more. We decided to leave Twitter/X as it’s not the place we joined in 2010.
Fans of both the setting and game of Traveller, we don’t do edition wars and try to support as broadly as possible.

The struct in reactos uses a ulonglong for the sector count and starting sector. one imagines that they wouldn't have disallowed disks greater than 4 gig on risc winnt, the thinkpad 860 was a machine that was $12000 at introduction in an era when we were installing 1 gig quantum fireballs with win95 like candy.
“#Sustainable use of a #smartphone ...”
Under this title, Martin #Kögler, Katharina #Paulick, Jürgen #Scheffran and Mario #Birkholz have published a paper in the journal “Sustainable Development”, which was released today:
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/sd.2995
Three of the authors held a workshop at #Bits&Bäume 2022 entitled “How much energy does my cell phone use to monitor me?”
With the participation of climate researcher J. Scheffran, the question has now been examined even more comprehensively.

Liebe alle,
wir haben in den letzten Wochen in der AG Community von #Bits & #Bäume an einer Umfrage gearbeitet, mit der wir "die" Bits & Bäume #Community besser kennenlernen wollen und einen Überblick über deren Bedarfe bekommen. 
Nehmt euch gern 10 min Zeit, um unseren Fragebogen auszufüllen! Es geht darum, herauszufinden, wer sich alles mit B&B identifiziert oder dafür interessiert und welche Unterstützung es für eure Aktivitäten braucht.

While welcoming the Dream Team to the Bits board, let us remember to give a big appreciative thank you to Chanelle with whom we could not have achieved our multi-night election this past six nights with such a high level of efficiency. Thank you Chanelle for your diligent work on behalf of bits. We appreciate you. Thanks also to the vote counters who made sure our election was both fair and accurate. #ACB, #bits
