Six Nations 2026: Preview, predictions and how to watch (www.bbc.com)
 

What's that? 7pm UTC on match week Monday and no new Six Nations news yet? Let's get that fixed!

And sign up to kick-tipp! (See pinned post)

Glasgow's Argyle Street Ash in running for European Tree of the Year (news.stv.tv)
 

A nice Monday story for us this evening. Much better to read about than the headlines

Yeah, best inter country rivalry in the URC I suspect

No wonder Reddit has turned to shit in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

The counter to this is a web of trust. You break the trust you are out of the web, and nodes connected you too are also out (for a period). And you need two to vouch for you

Match week, here's some more background reading from @somegeektoldme@universeodon.com

Gonna be good!

There's a few stories about Brown's biography about. Bella here I think got the tone and facts correct and Gordon Brown has no shame

Documentary on Kenmure Street immigration protest wins Sundance award (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

Kenmure St was one of the best things in recent years. Glasgow said a collective No to immigration officers, and they fucked off. Will have to go see this when released

United Rugby Championship: Glasgow hold off Munster to stay top (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

Things I love to see: Edinburgh doing well. But as they are shite again this year; I also love to see Glasgow topping the table!

Hearts may win the Scottish Prem this season, maybe that's why Glasgow are doing better at the rugby? Is Glasgow a rugby town now?

Hullo folks, how are we this week? Anybody with something nice to share? Plans for the weekend?

Companies care about Windows for sure

Exactly, both are under performing. New CEO should be fixing that

I dunno. Windows 11 sales have been crap. People aren't buying new machines due to it. Relaunch 12 as privacy focussed, AI enabled (but optional), and they could see a bounce. Double down on Office, keep a steady improvement on Azure, and see Xbox as a growth opportunity. Microsoft could avoid the AI slump

Notice how Apple have not jumped all in. They are anticipating the storm and are well prepared to weather it out

With no successor, no backwards compatibility for next gen. Why would any new gamer opt for it!

Scotland’s falling birth rate: Parents say rising costs stop them having more children (news.stv.tv)
 

To the surprise of few. Who can afford child care, a career break, and a bigger house? Double professionals just about, but few others

Lemmy Rugby 6 Nations Prediction Game (www.kicktipp.com)
 

Kick Tipp emailed me, and I think it a good idea, to have another bash at predictions this year! So come one, come all, kick-tipp is a super lightweight match score predictor league and a bit of fun. Previous editions have been quite closely contested, and the more the merrier

First Scotland World Cup 2026 fan zones announced for Glasgow and Edinburgh (news.stv.tv)
 

Fitba eh? A hot topic 'round Edinburgh at the moment. Great to see the Pitt chosen, but fuck me the public transport is awful to it. Maybe ECC will fix this travesty for this event at least

Unfinished Business of IndyRef: Suggest a Place or Memory (forms.office.com)
 

Something we don't have much social history about it seems. I haven't seen any museum piece about it, I haven't read much about the 2014. There were some television pieces, with the bigger players and pundits. But 2014 was grassroots. It was people powered. If you have something to share about this amazing period of Scottish democracy. Let's share it with Stirling uni here

Testing isn't the greatest watch even with video. Just a timing sheet is rough, even with entertaining amateurs

Here's autosport's live blog which is also worth leaving open

So not the FBI. All sensible stuff really. Could have avoided all these headlines by extending the NCA really
