Conservative lobby group Advance Australia’s “Election News” Facebook page has used targeted advertising to publish hundreds of links to older news articles that cast the Greens party in a deeply negative light. The use of old news articles is a very common tactic in spreading malinformation. byteseu.com/420296/ #Science



It’s the last day of gall week (a project on iNaturalist), someone on here mentioned it (sorry I forget who) which got me looking to see if I could spot any while I was out and about.
What a blast, I knew about the oak galls (but only a couple of types) and immediately spotted ones I had no idea existed. Then looking at the project pictures, realised how many & varied the galls can be.
Has been a real eye opener.

Una súper nintendo me gustaría tener porque cuando había que tenerla no la tenía. Cuando pienso eso luego bajo un emulador, juego los juegos mejores gratis y se me pasa lo de "comprarla".

A mi me gustan los putos maduritos :blobcatgiggle:

empecé así y la emulación me ha llevado por caminos insospechados






I did not realize it was going to be this much fun to read my own blog of 15+ years ago: egonw.github.io/blog/

I'm doing so in the process of migrating my blogspot blog to something more sustainable, using @rogue_scholar, giving me archived pages, downloaded PDFs (and ePUBs), and DOIs for my posts.

But reading this back makes me happy and hopeful. Commercial publishers have failed to innovate and are stuck in the old model of just making lots of profit, not helping

@mike so many posts 10 or 15 years old are still totally relevant. Unfortunately in part because technology progress has been so slow. One idea I am thinking about for Rogue Scholar is generating annual volumes of posts using the OPDS protocol and epub. See this post from 2011 doi.org/10.53731/r294649-6f792…


After five demanding days in space, Polaris Dawn splashes down safely

They flew high, they walked in space, and finally early on Sunday, they landed.

Aterrizó Polaris, la misión privada que hizo un breve EVA.

Todo impresionante, porque hizo casi mundano (y caro, pero accesible si sos rico), cosas que antes necesitaban años de preparación y entrenamiento.

Lo que me parece hermoso es el diseño y testeo de los nuevos trajes espaciales de SpaceX. Aparentemente funcionaron bien.

NASA comisionó 500 millones de dólares a 2 compañías que tardarán como 8 años más en tener un traje espacial.

Los ingenieros de SpaceX diseñaron uno que ya veremos qué dicen los que saben, pero mínimo es una propuesta distinta.



Starmer is open to offshoring asylum seekers to Albania like the Italian scheme

Human rights groups have condemned Italy’s ‘dodgy’ Rwanda-style deal with Albania to offshore asylum seekers, but as Starmer travels to Rome to meet Meloni, he admits he is open to copying it

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu decided to expand a military operation on the northern front with Lebanon, an Israeli media outlet said Saturday.

Channel 13 reported that Netanyahu made the statement during a strategic dialogue session on Thursday to discuss the escalation on the northern front, without specifying the parties involved in the session.

Israel is “on the verge of a broad and strong operation on the northern front,” he said.
