@zaire they are aware of fedi, they know a lot more about iocaine, and they know a bunch of people are happy iocaine enjoyers.

That is about as far as their interest in these goes. Well, that, and being little Malicious Actors, because our stance on genAI in the family is unified.

kurz gesagt:

...and how hardy it is to debris hits. That's a big cross-section: 2,400 square feet, a bit bigger than a basketball half-court. This paper https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027311772030644X suggests 1 hit energetic enough to penetrate 1 mm of aluminum per m^2/yr from debris and 1 from micrometeorites at AST's altitude, so about 1 hit per day. Good luck...

(Especially given a much smaller Starlink satellite and the similar cross-section Chinese space station both likely got hit by debris in the last few days)

"Only the bullies & petty fascists of the Trump administration could miss the irony of decrying 'speech suppression' while using state power to silence critics engaging in protected speech."

Indeed. The Trump regime is in a haze, drunk on abusing power.

Belgium has officially joined South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice over Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, becoming the latest country to support the legal challenge alongside Brazil, Ireland, and others.

South Africa filed the case in December 2023, as Israel violated the 1948 UN Genocide Convention.

Belgium’s move reinforces international pressure as nearly 80 percent of UN member states now recognize Palestinian statehood.

René Dubos coined 🌏 “Think globally, act locally” in the 1970s. A microbiologist who warned early about antibiotic resistance, he linked human health to ecology, stress, and community, and helped inspire Earth Day. An ancestor of today’s climate rebellion.

@martwritesstuff I'd wave but we're quite a way from the river! Fond memories of camping at Morwhellham Quay though 😊

Das schlimme an den Kontokündigungen ist nicht das Trump ein Fascho ist - das wissen wir schon lange.

Das schlimme ist, dass Deutsche Behörden mitspielen werden. Und unsere Bundesregierung jetzt auch nicht traurig sein wird, wenn einige mehr Leute/Organisationen ihre Konten verlieren.

A moody seascape captured beneath low, gray clouds, where heavy mist obscures the horizon and strong waves churn across the vast, exposed foreshore. #robinhoodsbay #seascape #yorkshirecoast #northyorkshire

@randahl When even Clinton goes out and says ‘release these files,’ it’s bound to become a big problem for Trump. Pull off the band‑age.
