The entire sky is a carpet of stars. There's not an empty spot - there's always a smaller, fainter star to see. It's crazy.

I grew up in a green-ish area of this map in Norway, and in Winger it gets pitch black. If theres even faint aurora in tje North we can see it behind the house.

For sure there is some light pollution - we don't draw the curtains in the evening - but it's pitch black by any standard observable by humans.

That's the hardest part, I guess.

Launching their own nazi chatbot hardly counts as "failure to act".

Yeah, it would be wonderful if that symbol could eventually be reclaimed. Seems a bit far off though. Would English speakers know what you refer to if you say hakenkreuz?

In my native tongue it's called hakekors, and I speak some German, so I'm not in a position to assess how understandable it would be to folks who only speak English.

Oh yeah. Circulating random swastika-labelled push notifications talking about a sickness that "aflicks (?) all Jews" is a pretty big no-no in most, if not all, of the civilized world.

NEW - Solar geoengineering researchers conspired to hide tests to dim the Sun to "avoid scaring" the public.

aha.

Anyway, nice to see the famous Substack network effects in full swing.

Due to the risk of battery fires, Google said that devices with more than 400 charge cycles could see their capacity and charging speed drastically reduced.

Apparently they design phones that'll last just over a year before self-igniting.

Kinda similar to how right wing Germans don't support Israel because they love Jews all of a sudden, but because they consider it to be the new final solution to the Jewish question in Germany.

Useful to keep in mind whenever people think Netanyahu represents jews. He's actually much closer to representing the interest of white American evangelicals. Which should honestly not surprise anyone.

They're a they, not a he. As in it's a duo, I'm not even arguing about pronouns.
