A pair of satellites will create artificial solar eclipses to study the sun


Astronomers hope the Proba-3 mission will help them get a better view of the corona, the sun's outer atmosphere, which is even hotter than the sun's surface.

is there a low-power "detect the computer is idle" api in #linux? i've attempted to use #inotify against input devices (following the example of aur.archlinux.org/packages/bri…) but that's somewhat cpu intensive ...

i could do tricks by sleeping say 25 sec and then set up the inotify and select on it with a 5 sec timer, or so... then it's low power for 25 sec and the user has to be active in the 5 sec...

this tradeoff between the "resolution" of idle detection and the power usage seems regrettable

this post gave me a community violation warning for "civility and election integrity" on TikTok.


It's fucked up beyond recognition.

Rudolph is dangerous for American election that was done in November?

WTAF.

Google finally did it. Is it time to switch to Firefox? I believe users should be in control of what they can install and use on their desktop or laptop. There's uBlock Origin Lite, which replaces the original uBlock Origin for Chrome and similar browsers. Give it a try.

to be honest , @ocramius

IMHO, are we still so ' naive ' ... who is still using #1984 #chrome web browser ?

G just made it ... more obvious ?

PS: BTW, you might give #librewolf ( #firefox fork a try ) ;-)

Did you know you can use #Python's built-in `__import__()` method to import a module? 🐍🤪

Here's how:




Facebook has been hosting paid adverts for charities fundraising for Israeli army battalions accused of war crimes and lawmakers encouraging the resettlement of the Gaza Strip.

Eko, a US-based campaigning organisation, identified 98 Facebook adverts targeting Europe and the US to solicit funds for Israeli army equipment, including advanced thermal drones, assault rifle sights, armour, night vision goggles and helmets.

A US judge ruled in favor of Meta Platforms' WhatsApp on Friday in a lawsuit against "Israel's" NSO Group, accusing the company of exploiting a vulnerability in the app to install spy software for unauthorized surveillance.

US District Judge Phyllis Hamilton in Oakland, California, granted WhatsApp's motion and determined NSO was liable for hacking and breach of contract.

The first time Palestinian actress Maisa Abd Elhadi was arrested was just days after the October 7 attacks.

At 11 a.m. on Oct. 12, 2023, the police showed up at her home in Nazareth, illegally confiscated her phone, and proceeded to take her to the city’s central police station.

There, she learned that she was being investigated over two posts she had shared on Instagram on October 7.
