@paulknightly Almost all the satellites you can see with your eyes now are Starlinks. Nicely demonstrated in this awful/beautiful photo: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap220614.html

"Musk secretly ordered his engineers to turn off his company’s Starlink satellite communications network near the Crimean coast last year to disrupt a Ukrainian sneak attack on the Russian naval fleet, according to an excerpt adapted from Walter Isaacson’s new biography of the eccentric billionaire titled “Elon Musk.”As Ukrainian submarine drones strapped with explosives approached the Russian fleet, they “lost connectivity and washed ashore harmlessly,”

A bitcoin mining company made more money from being paid by the Texas government not to waste electricity ($31.7M) than it did from mining bitcoin ($8.9M) in August.

Fajny, ale ciut straszny. 2 w skali, którą właśnie wymyśliłem.
Skala to:
0 - niestraszne mosty (czyli głównie dostatecznie szerokie, żeby nie przechodziło się blisko przepaści)
1 - zwykłe mosty (z balustradkami)
2 - "przejdę, ale będę robił w gacie przy każdym kroku (w przenośni)"
3 - "jak muszę, to przejdę, ale więcej tu nogi nie postawię"
4 - "nie ma opcji, do wiedzenia!"
Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.
If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

This is a random scream into the void to see if anyone who sees this is headed to #GIJC23 (Global Investigative Journalism Conference 2023) in Gothenburg, Sweden. I'm going and would love to meet up with peeps.
I'm a professor of design and an Extended Reality designer interested in Spatial Journalism: specifically the interleavings of 3D/immersive design, non-fiction storytelling, leaked datasets, and investigative journalism.
All boosts are appreciated!
DRM utrudnia życie nie tylko graczom, ale także.... wydawcom gier. Rockstar został przyłapany na sprzedawniu scrackowanych wersji - co zdaje się sugerować, ze nawet oni sami mieli problem z uruchamianiem tych gier. Kiedy branże rozrywki elektronicznej zdadzą sobie sprawę, że DRM nie działa?

This is a photo of a happy, fulfilled scientist, who has some colossal achievements to her credit.
Meet Nathalie Josso (1934-2022), the French pediatric endocrinologist who isolated & named the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) that differentiates sex in the fetus, studied intersex, & much more besides.
I've just published her Wikipedia page:
