Like with Twitter, it's a rapid-fire series of knee-jerk reactions, like a hammer, as in - "When you are a hammer, every problem looks like a nail", destined to get caught, to not fix what you were supposedly trying to fix, to generate deeper and more baffling situations in the process, to fail.

Thank you, Christian, for your wonderful app, which gave so many of us countless hours of pleasure.
We truly hope to see you here in the Fediverse.

IceCube announcement: Observation of high-energy neutrinos from the Galactic plane (icecube.wisc.edu) en

Observations of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos have shown that they mostly originate from extragalactic sources such as active galaxies. However, gamma ray observations show bright emission from within the Milky Way galaxy, and astrophysical gamma rays and neutrinos are expected to be produced by the same physical...

How is the IceCube team able to differentiate between neutrinos created in our own Milky Way and neutrinos from other galaxies, zipping across the Universe and through our Milky Way? Or from neutrinos created in our own Sun?
How do they tell them apart?

Which raises another question: are analysts and investors so stupid that they can't read between the lines? Because this looks like using a bucket to douse a five-alarm fire.

Everything said in that NANOgrav link is mind-blowing.

Slow, undulating waves in spacetime. Detected via observations of triangulated pulsars.

Now THIS is what I love in humanity.
It's playful. It's clever. In fact, it's brilliant. It's the sense of curiosity and discovery. It's about finding the unexpected and even the unimaginable.

EDIT: It's like the man said...

"We’re using a gravitational-wave detector the size of the galaxy that’s made out of exotic stars, which just blows my mind,” exclaims National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s Dr. Scott Ransom.

I'm picking up Nobel Prize vibes here.

Does anybody feel like the quality of reddit has already dropped massively? (kbin.social) en

I see a lot of comments from bootlickers on how the protests are dumb and stupid and dont work and engagement metrics are still holding but the quality of posts and comments has noticeably depreciated imo. So much so that whenever I visit the site Im actually shocked at how bad it is.

Whatever blackout/boycott/migration happens with Reddit, this should go double for Twitter, that's another place I silently dropped like a rock and have never visited again.

When something happens with Ukraine and I feel compelled to dive into it, I've used Nitter, which mirrors the Twitter content but Musk and his right-wing idiocy gets no goddamned clicks and traffic from me anymore.

I love reading and writing, replying and interacting. The quality of discourse around here has been excellent so far, the right kind of people have migrated here.
Fully granted that there are many topics in which I'd love to see more activity, but the space is young. Neither Rome nor Reddit were built in a day.

Also, a way to keep track of conversations, an unobtrusive notification and a direct link to the spot in any given thread.

Reddit removed moderators behind the latest protests before restoring a few of them - restored by a different admin than the one that removed them... (theverge.com) en

"Soon after we published this story, one of the r/MildlyInteresting moderators told The Verge that the entire mod team has now been reinstated — and by a different admin than the one that removed them. The mod’s account had received a 7-day suspension, but that has been reversed, too, they said. A Verge commenter who...

I’m not going to set a precedent of confirming with The Verge every action we do or don’t take

If you feel compelled to regard everybody as either your unpaid servant or as a hostile entity - except for taking deliberate time to pointedly kiss the Twitter imbecile's ass - maybe, just maybe it's you yourself, with a profound lack of self-awareness, that might be the very root of the problem you're flailing to deal with.
