This black hole "burps" with Death Star energy
Dubbed "Jetty McJetface," the tidal disruption event's energy keeps getting brighter and should peak in 2027.

Bei kleinen Inkonsistenzen bei den Literaturverzeichnissen/Referenzen, würdet ihr inzwischen direkt mit Betrugsversuch durchfallen lassen? (Titel und Journal passen nicht zusammen, Jahreszahl im Text und im Verz. ist unterschiedlich, etc.)
Oder bin ich zu empfindlich weil ich schon zuviel Slop lesen musste? #academicChatter #lehre #hausarbeiten

@DeutscherWetterdienst
Bis vor einigen Jahren war ich mir nicht bewusst das Deutschland diesen Dienst hat. Apps wie Tiny Weather Forecast Germany nutzen diese Datenbasis und haben mich bisher immer genau informiert.

Spannend zu sehen! Gut das ihr uns hier informiert.

@rileytestut Let's go to FREEDOM LAND, where you are allowed to run the software you want to use on a device that you paid hundreds of Euros for! Practically Anarchy. @altstore
@thomasfuchs I'm not trying to call you that. I can't as I cannot prove or disprove your personal experience.
At best I can counter my personal experiences where I saw such assholes on multiple platforms and probably was one. Yet this would not be much useful as this would be anecdote-to-anecdote combat, which is not very constructive.
Still, I'm sorry If what I wrote was accusatory, this wasn't my intention.
@dzwiedziu thank you!
fwiw what I’m mentioning is a shared experience of many uhm, “terminally online” people like me who post a lot.
I think Mastodon as a whole is often a bit too self-celebratory as “the alternative to corporate social media” and doesn’t work enough on fixing the issues a less evenly moderated space brings with it.
Good and bad sides to it.
Forgot that I had this pretty much ready to go and just needed to resize them and zip them up.

There are (were?) stick form-factor PCs that could be powered off of a power bank, so those and some duck tape might work for you.

A sustainable future is one in which there is no widespread ownership and use of private cars. That includes self-driving cars, and taxis.
@sebsauvage je dirais que la latence, c'est plutôt le temps qu'il faut pour que tu reçoives la première balle (dans la tronche... je sais pas pourquoi mais c'est plus drôle)

@rmblaber1956 I think it’s nonsense. I’m entirely disinterested in whether a place has a cathedral or not, unless I’m wanting to visit a cathedral
@urlyman Point taken. I was merely referring to what an English town needs to qualify as a city, & that is an Anglican cathedral - so lots of English "cities" have smaller populations than towns, merely because they've got cathedrals, & the towns don't. And yes, it IS a nonsense, on stilts!

@hugh please can I use this in a blog post and video? Will give you credit, of course.

An extra bonus for Vivaldi users on iOS: today's new Vivaldi 7.8 lets you install alternate app stores, such as @altstore where you don't have to pay tribute to Apple. (Note, only in EU; other jurisdictions don't have Digital Markets Act, so Apple won't let you have nice things.)
