YouTube has encouraged its moderators to leave up videos that may break the platform’s rules, including those with derogatory slurs or misinformation, as long as they're considered to be in the public interest. The shift comes as the GOP pressures YouTube to stop moderating content.

As a kind of climax to my attempts to fill in the post Lunar Orbiter/Pre LRO 'Luna Incognita' I used all available references to see what could be done. The mapped Moon of the time is at left, my airbrush portrayal is in the middle, a shaded relief from the LRO data is at right.

Ein RJ45-Adapter von Aliexpress.

Über 10'000 mal verkauft. Versehen mit SPI-Flash-Memory, darauf eine .exe. Diese injiziert Code in Prozesse, umgeht virtuelle Maschinen, verändert Proxy-Einstellungen, zeichnet Tastenanschläge auf.

Aber nun das Beste.

The amazing @esa.int Gaia telescope is taking its last measurements today

Gaia has had a tremendous impact on astronomy. Without the easy to access (and use) data releases, a lot of the work I do would be impossible

Thank you, Gaia and team! Can't wait for the future data releases! 🔭🧪

The Battlestar Galactica 2003 miniseries was really quite effective.

In three hours, so much information and lore, the stakes are perfectly set, end-of-the-world vibe, Adama, Roslin, Baltar are already fascinating, even the space battle is great despite a glaring lack of budget.

So Say We All.

1. An experimental result doesn’t make sense

2. A physicist proposes a radical solution.

3. The solution seems too weird to be real. Everyone assumes it must be a convenient trick.

4. Eventually, everyone realizes it wasn't a trick, and reality is in fact weirder than they expected. (9/n)

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:

Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.

That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...
