Tesla Dealerships Attacked With Molotov Cocktails
Tesla car dealerships across the U.S. have been attacked with guns and Molotov cocktails in recent days over what protesters believe is Elon Musk’s overreach in government. What do you think?The Onion Staff (The Onion)
A true story: at one point Microsoft was selling four entirely unrelated products all pronounced "link". Microsoft Link, Linq, Lynq and Lync.
You'd think whoever let that happen would have lost their job, but years later as we were struggling to fix a Teams interop problem in Firefox, we discovered that the real problem was that MS had _two unrelated products called Microsoft Teams_ who never talked to each other.
Well good news everyone, that guy got promoted:

I live in the UK and I'm in the process of building a website about vintage buses, a harmless subject, you'd think. But what if my opinions, or comments made by my readers fall foul of these unclear rules? The UK's freedom of speech is being quickly (not slowly) eroded.
I think I'll just build my website offline for now and just post on Mastodon, until Mastodon faces the same issues as been suggested regarding content by UK users.
Let's hope that it never comes to that.
Online speech went the moment the law was passed. Mastodon is the least safe from the law too, as there's no big lobbyist to help us. I'm starting to think if they're going to make us criminals just for talking to each other (the law talks about groupchats and email too), we might be better off just accepting it and talking via Tor anyway, sadly...

As Trump Pushes for More Deportations, Protections for Asylum-Seekers Unravel
The administration’s moves to expel asylum-seekers to third countries put the International Organization for Migration at the center of a policy critics have called illegal.ProPublica

By now it should be clear to all refugees (for poverty or persecution) that the U.S. is no longer "the land of the free" but the "home of the Donald Trump ass lickers", who preach anyone who has no money is a criminal (most real criminals have lots of money).
Europe is no alternative: simply to many refugees coming, no place to stay, no jobs. Also Europe has a strict policy: any employer who hires illegal immigrants pays a large fine. Hospitals will not be payed for treating you.

"In a study appearing today in Nature Sustainability, the researchers report that #CO2 and other greenhouse gases can cause the upper atmosphere to shrink. An atmospheric layer of special interest is the thermosphere, where the ISS and most satellites orbit today. When the thermosphere contracts, the decreasing density reduces atmospheric drag - a force that pulls old satellites and other debris down to altitudes where they will encounter air molecules and burn up."

The meeting occurred in December 2024 and was attended by three representatives from Elbit Systems and three officials from Yvette Cooper’s Home Office.

It is reported that the Home Office has ordered Apple to build a backdoor into its encrypted services so that they can get hold of content that any Apple user has upload to the cloud. Encryption keeps our private information safe and secure.38 Degrees
History is a set of lies agreed upon.
The UK government took to revisionist tactics and wiped its advice for lawyers and barristers to use Apple encrypted services.

The largest camera ever built for astrophysics (3200-megapixels, >3000 kg) was installed this week at the Rubin Observatory at Cerro Pachón in Chile.
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) camera, the final major component of the Rubin Observatory's Simonyi Survey Telescope, was transported to the summit in May 2024.
After a few more months of testing, first light is expected around 4 Jul 2025.

NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Installs LSST Camera on Telescope
Using the largest digital camera in the world, Rubin Observatory will soon be ready to capture more data than any other observatory in historywww.noirlab.edu
The Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time LSST Camera is the largest camera ever constructed for astronomy. It is a large-aperture, wide-field optical camera, capable of viewing light from the near UV to near infrared wavelengths.
Length: 3.73 m
Height: 1.65 m
Weight: 2,800 kg
Pixels: 3.2 billion
Wavelength: 0.32–1.06 μm
Filters: 6 (u-g-r-i-z-y)
Field of view = 3.5° (moon = 0.5°)
