Zoom Platform, a store aimed at 'Generation X' adds more Linux support
One I've been meaning to point out for a while now is Zoom Platform. A games store that tries too appeal to "Generation X" with both new and classic games, DRM-free and they're continuing to build up their Linux support.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
With Hubble, astronomers measured the mass of a single, isolated white dwarf – which is the surviving core of a burned-out star.
The white dwarf, called LAWD 37, is 56% the mass of our Sun: go.nasa.gov/3l31XyZ

For the First Time Hubble Directly Measures Mass of a Lone White Dwarf
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have for the first time directly measured the mass of a single, isolated white dwarf.Andrea Gianopoulos (NASA)
Astronomers were able to determine this using “gravitational microlensing” – when the gravity of a foreground object warps the light coming from an object behind it.
The light from a background star was slightly deflected by the gravitational warping of space by LAWD 37.

Because it's the kind of minor but obvious presentation detail where the devs are certainly aware of it, intend to fix it at some point, but don't consider it a priority and are probably right not to.
"Why not file a bug report instead of making an offhand comment?" is a good question to ask, but in this case it really is because the criteria for a bug report are different from the criteria for an offhand comment.
But thanks for asking and making me think about it.
I'd say a combination of experience and obviousness, but if you want something more concrete, here's a previous bug report on the subject:
github.com/Heroic-Games-Launch…
Appears I guessed wrong about the motivation for not fixing it; it's not "we'll get to it but it's not a priority", it's a deliberate stylistic choice. "The" gets ignored but "a" and "an" don't. I think it's an odd decision, but ultimately it's theirs to make.
