This is the 100 year anniversary of humans having an idea of what the heck the sun and all the stars actually are. If you had asked a leading astronomer in 1925 what the sun was, they would say that it's basically the same as Earth, but very hot.
In Cecilia Payne's doctoral thesis she was the first to say, from spectral data, that the sun was overwhelmingly made of hydrogen and helium.
It was later described as "the most brilliant PhD thesis ever written in astronomy".
Remember when Facebook installed root kits on peoples' phones with forged certificates so they could execute man-in-the-middle attacks and de-crypt Snapchat, YouTube, and Amazon traffic? That's wiretapping!

@danirabbit I've been waiting for this moment since reading chapter 7 of the UNIX-HATERS handbook in 1994. Good riddance, X11.
"'…the opposition to climate action is using anti-trans rhetoric to build its base,' said Philip Newell, the other researcher who is the communications working group co-chair for the Climate Action Against Disinformation Coalition, which organizes against disinformation and misinformation on climate change. 'If you want climate action, you’re going to have to fight back.'"

Apparently, if you have facebook or Instagram installed on your phone, #Meta was able to track your browsing habits and link them to your real identity even if you never logged in on the web, used incognito mode or a VPN. I hope Meta gets hit with every fine in the book.

Der Bildungsausschuss gestern war schon popcornwürdig. Die aktuelle Ausrede ist "Rechenfehler". Dass bei einer Steigerung des Etats des Bildungsministeriums 250 Stellen für Lehrkräfte gekürzt werden, soll aber so bleiben. Auch: nach außen sagt das Bildungsministerium, die Haushaltsverhandlungen seien noch nicht abgeschlossen, im Ausschuss gestern hieß es, am Montag sei doch schon alles ausverhandelt worden.
@danielaKay Unterrichtsausfall wird in Kauf genommen, außerschulische Aktivitäten sollen entfallen. An unserer Schule heißt das: kein Schwimmunterricht, keine Wandertage, keine Sporttage, keine Projekte.
Sitze gerade mit Frau und Kindern im Bildungsausschuss des Landtages Brandenburg. Hier liegen gerade Pläne auf dem Tisch, den Unterrichtsausfall (300.000 Stunden im letzten Schuljahr) durch eine "vorläufige Unterschreitung des Personalschlüssels" zu bekämpfen. Vulgo: die Lehrer*innen sollen gefälligst mehr arbeiten.
@hzulla So much this. Leider gibt's sogar Psychotherapeuten, die nicht mehr als die ICD-10-Diagnose-Kriterien kennen. "Sie können kein Autismus haben, sie können sich ja mit mir normal unterhalten."
Where do bad rainbows go?
They go to prism.
It's a light sentence, but it gives them time to reflect.
@vollkorn @henryk "Cursive" is just the word for handwriting wirh connected letters here.
Also, as someone who learned this stuff at school, in theory it doesn't look that bad. The лишишь example suffers from not properly executing the л and ь, and not spacing the letters correctly. In practice, it's so easy to get those details wrong that even the Russians find that joke funny.
ePA ohne Selbstbestimmung: Befunde sollen für alle Praxen sichtbar bleiben
Selbst entscheiden dürfen, welche Praxis welche Befunde sehen darf – das war mal der Plan bei der elektronischen Patientenakte. Das neue Gesundheitsministerium hält davon nichts.
#Kapitalismus at it's best:
Der ehemalige Brötchengeber von Friedrich #Merz #Blackrock , verklagt den US-Krankenversicherer United Health, weil der kranken Menschen zu viele Behandlungen genehmigt und das zum Nachteil der Aktionäre sei.
This is your regular reminder that it is not un-Jewish or anti-Israeli to oppose the war in Gaza and call out its crimes against civilians. You are taking a position shared by [checks notes] the former Prime Minister of Israel.
Dear #gischat people. I'm looking for an open source solution for managing objects on a map. More precisely, we want to use it to manage a garden: planning layouts (at home, on a desktop machine), registering the trees we planted with their geolocation in a database (out in the field, on the phone). I'm happy to manage a server installation and do a minor amount of coding, but a smooth end user experience would be appreciated.
My current thinking is QGIS/QField/QFieldCloud. Is this a viable approach? Are there any preferable alternatives?
