So much this. If we don't interact genuinely with our audience, it will damage the relationship irreparably.
Creators should never use these AI suggestions for replying.
FFS, USA!
(To the best of my understanding, the attacks by the US and Israel on Iran were carried out with endoatmospheric weapons, so not my department . However I condemn these attacks which are manifestly against international law)
TESS confirms what we saw with Kepler and K2 - on average, ***every single small red star has a planet around it***! And a short-period one at that (<30 days).
And you know what the galaxy is mostly made of?
Small red stars.
PLANETS. PLANETS EVERYWHERE!!!
Happy weekend pondering that, everyone.
PopOS! dev already put out a lengthy comment here:

I assume multiple Linux distro maintainers are of risk of being sued if they don't comply with this crap.
Enshittification codified into law.

So, California just forced operating system developers to include an age verification scheme.
Which is going to be about as effective as the "I am 18" buttons on adult websites.
So this will escalate into something even worse in the future.

How the hell can I get rid of this asinine new "most relevant" section in my subscriptions on YouTube?
They're now starting to destroy the only page I had control over.
:(
Years (decades?) a pattern was established to post on platform A, B and C if you're a public figure. Agencies/staffers have learned how to do it, creating a "social media manager" economy.
They just keep doing it because it's what they always did. And none of them ever at the (98% bot) replies.
"For Breaking News, Twitter is now an active liability as people push out false information ... often for money."
I thought I already knew how bad it was, but @lastweektonight.com proved me wrong. It's even worse.
Noone should be there anymore.

You don't have to stop posting but you do have to stop posting THERE. It is a uniquely, fundamentally detrimental website to you as a person. It incentivizes racism, violence and — the worst crime of all — vagueposting. You are living in a permanent teaser ad for the 11 o'clock news.
Yes they are.
I regularly donate to FOSS projects I enjoy using.
A true scholar and a gentleman having a literal blast.
The KSA devs just keep the hits coming. It's still early in development and they still found the time to create a Linux build pipeline. It's not officially supported yet, but It's still very interesting. Especially for someone like me who jumped ship from Windows to Linux.

We as a society assign value to things by determining what we finance.
Think about that when you pick who you want to elect and where they want to spend tax dollars.
"I am special, I am immune to The Algorithm, it will not change me"
you are not special and it will make you worse
you should leave
Couple of very candid details about the failed "dearMoon" project.
Haven't heard a lot of this yet. Thanks for sharing, Tim!

Good thing more and more people outside the US start to migrate away from US tech.
See also Google whining about Europe "losing competitiveness" and "erecting walls" if our governments abandon their cloud services.

Of course we erect walls against this overreach!
Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!
"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."
I decided to look at where Kitten Space Agency currently is regarding building rockets. Check out my first multi-stage rocket attempts in Kitten Space Agency here:

Congratulations to the Ariane team for getting this bird off the pad.
Now get cracking on a reusable rocket!
No, Discord, your AI face recognition will not be allowed to scan my face.
I wonder what's going to happen to my own Discord server now...
Goalposts are moving.
Remember when Starship was the "Interplanetary Transport System"?
Mark my words: in a couple of years we will hear something like "Starship's focus was always to make Starlink launches cheaper" and no more word about exploration.
Since every car they make will come with all the necessary hardware installed, why would I have to subscribe instead of going a one time payment if I buy this used?
Still not acceptable.
I was a happy BMW owner for many years.
Until they drop trying to shove subscriptions for basic features down our throats, they'll never see a cent from me again.

I think I've stated multiple times that Saturn is my favorite planet. And now it has rings in Kitten Space Agency! Time to check it all out here: youtu.be/OiOdALhQ5iQ
Yep. Won't stop me from pointing out how wrong it is ;)
Reminder that the majority of space creators are still mostly on X and thus endorse this with every post they make over there, since each post has the Grok button front and center.

AI sells stonks. SpaceX IPO incoming. SpaceX plus "AI" = profit. At least in ketamine brain land.
Hyperloop. Boring company. Tesla's car business. Twitter as a whole. Remember "X, the everything app"?
So many failures.
Yep it is. Because humanity's future apparently is a probability based language model provided by the most inefficient setup imaginable.
