@danwchan Sigh…. But I love the phage and will check out what else they had. This was a gift, I wasn’t aware of this company before
in reply to Mya Breitbart

i really like most of their videos and ways of making scicomm entertaining, but the ones funded by 80,000 hours and Bill and Melinda Gates are among the worst ones.


.@nasa Leadership, @SenBillNelson, @Astro_Pam, @Astro_CabanaBob participated in a NASA Town Hall today. They reflected on the accomplishments of the last six months and gave a look forward to the rest of 2023. More 📷 flic.kr/s/aHBqjAMZVt

I smiled at your comments in the clip about #Mastodon where you say "...I think that's a model of where we go, where we use the geeks as we need to but don't put them in charge any more..."

I love what the dev community is building here for non-techies like me. #fediverse #foss #openweb #journalism #newmedia

in reply to I'm Kerro

@jkerrison yep, our #geekproblem has proven to be a "problem" for the last 20 years in tech. Now how do we take the problem out of "geekproblem" as the is much to like about geeks themselves.


Come on, do something. 50K by my birthday on July 30th? You know what to do.

I just realised but a "Now do minecraft too, you cowards !"

Is a reasonable reaction to that. I can't wait for diablo (3) though. I'll still wait for the first expansion to look into 4.

yes! So much yes! Also I can't fathom how the first comment got to that reasoning 😅

#Tecnoafecciones El extractivismo no es solo material.

Ya en 2021, algunos estudios estimaron que las tecnologías digitales representan entre el 1,4% y el 5,9% de la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero. Más que las emisiones de la aviación‼️

Otros estudios revelaron que las promesas de reducción de emisiones de 24 de las mayores multinacionales globales son muy inferiores a los que publicitan y están a años luz de las necesidades del planeta 👇

10 years ago today the Cassini spacecraft peered past Saturn's rings and captured this image of a distant bluish planet and its moon. That's Earth, seen from over 900 million miles away! #SmileYoureOnCassiniCamera

Why was this photo taken? Read: go.nasa.gov/44NA2o7
#NASAhistory

in reply to NASA

Image description

The dark side of Saturn, its bright limb, the main rings, the F ring, and the G and E rings are clearly seen; the limb of Saturn and the F ring are overexposed. The "breaks" in the brightness of Saturn's limb are due to the shadows of the rings on the globe of Saturn, preventing sunlight from shining through the atmosphere in those regions. The E and G rings have been brightened for better visibility.

Friends of Animals manages a sanctuary in San Antonio, Texas called Primarily Primates that provides all the essentials—food and healthcare, and enrichment activities that stimulate wild behaviors and habitat maintenance—for over 30 chimpanzees and 300+ other animals who were rescued from research laboratories, the entertainment industry and the exotic pet trade. You can learn more about the personality and backstory of the chimps and see how you can become a sponsor on our website! bit.ly/3aCd5LP

I noticed there were less of these. Honestly hated how every steam deck channel had essentially the same video. But found I was missing these from some channels. I think big roundups maybe monthly would be great.

Keep up the good eork

So excited to read @MichaelEMann’s new book, “Our Fragile Moment: How Lessons From Earth’s Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis.”

Mann is an incredible climate scientist & storyteller. I have no doubt this will be a fantastic & hopeful must-read for 2023! #ClimateChange

A legal opinion has found that there are, “real and significant issues” regarding the lawfulness of a clause in the Online Safety Bill.

openrightsgroup.org/press-rele…

#OnlineSafetyBill #censorship #freedomodexpression #privacy #humanrights #digitalrights #rights

in reply to Open Rights Group

The opinion finds that there is “likely to be significant interference with freedom of expression that is unforeseeable and which is thus not prescribed by law”.

This represents “a sea change in the way public communication and debate are regulated in this country” as the Bill would require online content to be screened and blocked before it is even posted, with tech companies that don’t comply being sanctioned. #OnlineSafetyBill #censorship #freedomodexpression

I still can't figure out why Google thought this was a good idea. Usually I can sort of see what someone was going for, but this, I got nothing.

Thanks for sharing. I watched your video on the new TLDs but didn't take action. After reading the article I've setup pfBlocker to simply block the zip and mov TLDs from home.
