Depending on if you prefer Chemistry or Computer Science here are two takes on the Screaming Jelly baby.
Firstly Chemistry
Now lets look at the Raspberry Pi version. This is simply using a jelly baby as a switch to trigger a sound being played. So two wires inside the jelly baby connect together when the jelly baby is squeezed.
I prefer the Chemistry version, despite the fact it is probably far less interactive as in I don't think students are allowed to actually perform this demonstration.

Earth-like biospheres on other planets may be rare
This is an interesting article on Science Daily. Seems that the conditions on Earth could be far rarer than we think. [1] So we are looking for Earth Like atmospheres, the JWST will really help push this research forward.
Please feel free to discuss further on discourse [2]l. I have also included a link to a infographc, on atmosphere composition in our own solar system [3]
Comment and questions on this.
I just wondered what the range of conditions could support life, for example is there a minimum and corresponding percentage range for Oxygen for example. The same would go for other gasses for example Nitrogen, $CO_2$ etc. Hopefully we can learn more about what is needed for life, so we perhaps increase our chances of finding possible habitable words. This, of course is assuming all life requires Oxygen We have found life in or near volcanoes on Earth, conditions are very hot, and inhospitable to humans generally, not to mention the Sulfur Dioxide and other toxic gasses.

International coalition calls for action against surveillance-based advertising
Interesting article, this fightback has now started, there is hopefully no going back and we will see an end to all this tracking, advertising and other unwanted nonsense.
**Groups in Europe and U.S. ask for action to end practices that threaten citizens’ rights. **
`
Every day, consumers are exposed to extensive commercial surveillance online. This leads to manipulation, fraud, discrimination and privacy violations. Information about what we like, our purchases, mental and physical health, sexual orientation, location and political views are collected, combined and used under the guise of targeting advertising.
You can read the full article at [1]. I have also included a link to a Discourse thread as well as a link to the Data Detox kit.

Design the 2021 LibreOffice Conference Logo
Our next LibreOffice Conference will take place from September 23-25, 2021 (and it’ll be online, due to the ongoing pandemic situation). LibreOffice developers, supporters and users from around the world will share their work, ideas and suggestions. And we’ll have fun with online social events and more!
But we need a logo. For last year’s conference, we had a competition and Kukuh Syafaat from Indonesia won with this great design, which includes the openSUSE logo too, as it was a joint conference:
