[Image Description: A dense cluster of bright stars, each with six large and two small diffraction spikes, due to the telescope’s optics. They have a variety of sizes depending on their brightness and distance from us in the cluster, and different colours reflecting different types of star. Patches of billowing red gas can be seen in and around the cluster, lit up by the stars. Small stars in the cluster blend into a background of distant stars and galaxies on black.]

[Image description: A pair of interacting galaxies. The larger of the two galaxies is slightly right of centre, and is composed of a hazy, bright, white centre and a ring of gaseous filaments, which are different shades of red and orange. Toward the bottom left and bottom right of the ring are filaments of gas spiralling inward toward the core. At the top left of the ring is a noticeable gap, bordered by two large, orange pockets of dust and gas. The smaller galaxy is made of hazy and white gas and dust, which become more diffuse further away from its centre. To this galaxy’s bottom left, there is a smaller, more diffuse gas cloud that wafts outward toward the edges of the image. Many red, orange, and white galaxies are spread throughout, with some being hazier in appearance and others having more defined spiral patterns.]

[Image description: At centre is a compact star cluster composed of luminous red, blue, and white points of light. Faint jets with clumpy, diffuse material extend in various directions from the bright cluster. Above and to the right is a smaller cluster of stars. Translucent red wisps of material stretch across the scene, though there are patches and a noticeable gap in the top left corner that reveal the black background of space. Background galaxies are scattered across this swath of space, appearing as small blue-white and orange-white dots or fuzzy, thin discs. There is one noticeably larger blue-white point with diffraction spikes, a foreground star in the upper right.]

[Image Description: A nebula made up of cloudy gas and dust in the form of soft and wispy clouds and, in the centre, thin and highly detailed layers pressed close together. Large, bright stars surrounded by six long points of light are dotted over the image, as well as some small, point-like stars embedded in the clouds. The clouds are lit up in blue close to the stars; orange colours show clouds that glow in infrared light.]

Have to watch it on Invidious/Piped/a utube frontend as it's region locked. What a damn shame that some people won't be able to see this.

I believe it was inspired by a fairly recent controversy with the Royal British Columbian Museum (RBCM) on how it treated Indigenous staff and it's Indigenous "artifact" collection. Of course the idea for this movie could have been much earlier because I assume the racism of the RBCM would be obvious to Indigenous people.

Hans credits his improved social and communication skills learned in prison among other details shared in the public letters.

I thought prisons were meant to cause more trauma and help ensure people never leave so as to increase profits?

IMO the industry as a whole has breached the "trust thermocline" by consistently releasing broken unfinished games. There aren't as many people that will buy a game at release, and would rather wait for the bugs to fixed and buy it at a discount a year or so later; or, it's realized the bugs will never be fixed and no one buys it.

Also with the realization that digital copies (that aren't installed on your own HDD) can be taken from you at a whim. I think most people are fed up with it, and are sticking to games they already have or just not playing at all.

At this point, I think the only reason a game wouldn't work on Linux is because of the developers political views.

Microsoft asserts that the 7 TB storage per glass sheet maintains data integrity for 10,000 years.

Imagine people 10,000 years from now finding a 7tb homework folder of high resolution ponies.

With the current system, anyone with physical access to your Hue bridge can take it over just by pressing the button.

If a bad actor has access to your home, I doubt light bulbs will be your main concern...

Upping the original as a matter of course.

As expected, pretty sure blue light filters are about sleep quality, not eye strain. Not that they matter much, with most devices having programmed in light filters now days.

I wish more companies did this; however, I believe most CEO's have the biased view that everyone has at least some money to spare which, as you probably know (likely on personal level), isn't true.

I understand that participating in cultural aspects of society must cost money due to the very nature of economics (if you want the artist to continue to make art, make sure they don't starve to death) but 'pirating' things is there not only as a stop gap to terrible service and personal risk (privacy violations, etc.), but also as an equalizer between those that have, and those that don't.

Maybe get a Steamdeck if portability is important, otherwise get a desktop. IMO gaming laptops don't last as long because of all the heat stress. Really just my opinion though.

*Funny, just seen this other post on Beehaw about valve selling refurbished Steamdecks. Just thought I would share just in case.
