Plato’s eyes meet brain
Video: 00:01:38
On 11 June, engineers at OHB’s facilities in Germany joined together the two main parts of ESA’s Plato mission.
They used a special crane to lift Plato’s payload module, housing its 26 ultra-sensitive cameras, into the air and carefully line it up over the service module. The supporting service module contains everything else that the spacecraft needs to function, including subsystems for power, propulsion and communication with Earth.
With millimetre-level precision, the engineers gently lowered the payload module into place. Once perfectly positioned, the team tested the electrical connections.
Finally, they securely closed a panel that connects the payload module to the service module both physically and electronically (seen ‘hanging’ horizontally above the service module in this image). This panel, which opens and closes with hinges, also contains the electronics to process data from the cameras.
Now in one piece, Plato is one step closer to beginning its hunt for Earth-like planets.
In the coming weeks, the spacecraft will undergo tests to ensure its cameras and data processing systems still work perfectly.
Then it will be driven from OHB’s cleanrooms to ESA’s technical heart (ESTEC) in the Netherlands. At ESTEC, engineers will complete the spacecraft by fitting it with a combined sunshield and solar panel module.
Following a series of essential tests to confirm that Plato is fit for launch and ready to work in space, it will be shipped to Europe’s launch site in French Guiana.
The mission is scheduled to launch on an Ariane 6 in December 2026.

Los jardineros de Alcorcón exigen recuperar decenas de puestos perdidos: "Cada vez hay más bajas por lesiones"
El ayuntamiento de la ciudad, que admite que faltan unos 90 trabajadores, asegura que está intentando estabilizar a los interinos, reclasificar al personal y sacar adelante ofertas públicas de empleo El plan estrella de vivienda de Ayuso hace aguas en Alcorcón
La falta de oferta de empleo público y el consecuente envejecimiento de la plantilla, así como las numerosas enfermedades laborales que les aquejan, han hecho que la plantilla que se encarga de los parques y jardines de Alcorcón se empiece a cansar de su situación. Desde hace años, y según confirma el propio Ayuntamiento gobernado por un tripartito de izquierdas, existe un déficit estructural de 90 jardineros y actualmente la plantilla está compuesta por 147 trabajadores. Mientras tanto, la ciudad y las zonas verdes que cuidar no dejan de aumentar.
Para solventar el problema el Consistorio se decanta por la externalización de algunos servicios a empresas privadas con un dinero que podría servir para la contratación de más personal, tal y como denuncian desde Solidaridad Obrera (SO), uno de los sindicatos del sector. Por otra parte y desde hace un tiempo también intentan paliar esta realidad contratando más personal y respondiendo positivamente a algunas de las demandas de los trabajadores.
SO es un sindicato minoritario en el Ayuntamiento alcorconero, aunque con gran presencia en este servicio concreto de Parques y Jardines, y fue el que convocó un paro parcial de dos horas para este miércoles. Entre sus demandas sobresale la exigencia de mayor contratación pública, el reconocimiento de la profesionalidad de sus trabajadores, la reclasificación del grupo al que pertenecen y la consolidación de los puestos de trabajo ocupados por personal interino en abuso de temporalidad, lo que “incumple la directiva europea”, apunta Rafael Velarde, delegado sindical de la junta de personal en el Consistorio por SO.
Este sindicalista recuerda cómo casi un centenar de jardineros fueron despedidos tras la crisis de 2007, cuando la ciudad estaba gobernada por el PP, un hecho que se repitió hasta 2019. “Desde entonces la inversión ha sido mínima. Esta última legislatura sí parece que han invertido en maquinaria, pero poco más”, admite. Además, les parece “irrisorio” que el Ayuntamiento se haya comprometido a ofertar diez plazas nuevas para este año.
El concejal de Parques y Jardines de la ciudad, Raúl Toledano, defiende que el año que viene y el siguiente convocarán las mismas plazas. “No cubre la totalidad de lo perdido, que calculamos en unas 90, pero la idea es hacerlo poco a poco para mantener el servicio público en el mejor estado posible”, explica a elDiario.es este edil socialista.
Cómo estabilizar a los interinos
Por otro lado, la plantilla se queja de que el trabajo va a más cada día. “Cada vez hay más bajas por lesiones provocadas por el trabajo y la gente disfruta cada vez de más días de vacaciones por la experiencia que acumulan, y no suplen esos puestos. Aquí el que menos tiempo lleva tiene 15 años de trabajo a sus espaldas”, desarrolla el integrante de SO.
Este sindicato alerta de que hay trabajadores que actualmente realizan algunas funciones manejando maquinaria que no deberían. “Lo hacen por sacar el trabajo adelante, porque es imprescindible para que la ciudad esté cuidada”, señala Velarde. Por otro lado, aunque desde el Ayuntamiento han intentado suplir la falta de personal a través de interinos, esta no es una solución para el miembro de SO: “Enlazan contratos de un año o dos con otros de apenas unos meses. Así es imposible pensar en tu vida a medio plazo, ni tener proyección, cuando los interinos son realmente los que sacan buena parte del servicio”.
Por su parte, Toledano añade que en estos momentos 12 trabajadores están en régimen de interinidad y ocho de ellos ya gozan del turno libre, “incluso el proceso de estabilización está tan avanzado que ya se ha publicado el listado de admitidos”, apuntilla.
Hacia la reclasificación
Entre las demandas de la plantilla también se encuentra la exigencia de la reclasificación del grupo laboral al que pertenecen. “Ahora estamos en el E, cuando ni siquiera debería existir, y nos pertenece el C2”, reivindica Velarde. Según él, este cambio no supondría un gran desembolso económico para las arcas municipales.
Ante este extremo, el concejal del área admite que su intención es dar salida positiva a esta petición. “Entendemos que la profesionalización que requieren sus funciones les hace merecedores de estar en el C2, algo que conseguiremos de forma paulatina. Por ahora, hemos convocado 38 plazas de promoción interna para ayudantes, que pasarían a ser peones, y 13 más para aquellos peones que pasarían a ser capataces”, se explaya Toledano.
SO ha sido la única central sindical que ha convocado este paro parcial el miércoles, que también ha apoyado una sección sindical de CGT. En el comité están presentes UGT, CSIF, CPPM y CCOO. Fernando Pérez es el presidente de la sección sindical de esta última organización, que cuenta con la mayor representación en el Ayuntamiento de Alcorcón. Por el momento no se han sumado a las protestas por los compromisos del Consistorio, según ha confirmado este sindicalista. De todas formas, no descartan convocar movilizaciones en otoño para presionar al Ayuntamiento.
Temor antes posibles privatizaciones
José Luis Yarza ha dedicado casi la mitad de su vida a cuidar las zonas verdes de Alcorcón. Actualmente tiene 56 años y también milita en SO. “Cuando entré con unos 25 años la gente de mi edad ya estaba de segunda actividad, con sus funciones muy reducidas. Eso ahora sería imposible”, introduce. “La falta de relevo hace que los trabajos más penosos nos los comamos aquellos trabajadores que estamos menos cascados”, añade.
Este jardinero recalca que se trata de un trabajo muy físico que se realiza continuamente con herramientas que vibran y expuestos al calor, al frío y al polvo, además del riesgo que supone trabajar en rotondas y medianas. “Si convocáramos una huelga general indefinida se notaría pronto en las calles, sobre todo por la siega y los riegos”, opina.
Yerza sostiene que detrás de esta dejación por parte del Ayuntamiento, según considera que ocurre, podría estar la idea de privatizar el servicio en algún momento. “Parte de la poda en altura y la plantación de nuevos árboles y su riego, así como el mantenimiento de las zonas infantiles, lo han externalizado a empresas privadas”, denuncia. Desde su punto de vista, con ese dinero podrían contratar operarios que harían el trabajo de forma más diligente, tal y como expresa. “El mantra de que lo privado funciona mejor es mentira, y desde luego que no es más barato”, enfatiza.
La Concejalía de Parques y Jardines explica que han optado por “contratos de apoyo”. De esta manera, intentan llegar con empresas privadas a aquellos servicios que no alcanzan con recursos humanos propios. Toledano apunta que el contrato de poda y tala es “legendario y mantenido siempre dentro de este servicio”. Sobre las áreas infantiles, argumenta que el trabajo es tan técnico y exhaustivo que “sería difícil llevarlo a cabo con personal municipal”.
Plantilla envejecida para cada vez más trabajo
Isabel Rodríguez es jardinera en Alcorcón desde hace 23 años. A punto de cumplir 51, comenta que ella es de las más jóvenes de sus compañeros. “Por enfermedad profesional ya llevo tres operaciones en las manos por diversos tipos de dolencias”, resalta. Además, se queja de que la ciudad ha crecido mucho desde que hace más de una década se convocara la última oferta pública de empleo. “Ahora tenemos más trabajo por hacer y somos muchos menos que antes”, reitera.
Por eso, ella es una de las trabajadoras que ha secundado el paro convocado por SO el miércoles pasado. “Hay cierto miedo a que vuelva la derecha al Gobierno y se repitan los despidos que ya hicieron. Queremos que tomen nota en el Ayuntamiento, que se repiensen su postura y nuestras demandas no sean satisfechas a cuentagotas, como ocurre en estos momentos”, desarrolla Rodríguez.
Por último, Toledano tilda estas protestas de “legítimas y respetables” al mismo tiempo que exclama que desde el Gobierno municipal también desean mayor rapidez en la resolución de los procesos. “Lo cierto es que la ley te exige una serie de plazos y procedimientos que no nos podemos saltar, pero es cierto que no vamos todo lo rápido que nos gustaría”, concluye.

No es casualidad: un estudio revela que los gatos prefieren dormir sobre su lado izquierdo
Esta posición les otorga cierta ventaja, porque favorece la caza y el escape tras despertarse La ciencia revela que los gatos reconocen el olor de su dueño rápidamente
El sueño es fundamental para los animales, aunque supone uno de los momentos más vulnerables ya que la vigilancia antidepredadores se reduce drásticamente, especialmente en las fases de sueño profundo. Ante esta situación, los gatos domésticos (Felis silvestris catus) adoptan medidas excepcionales: no sólo duermen en zonas elevadas, sino que descansan sobre su lado izquierdo.
Esa es la conclusión a la que llegó un equipo internacional de investigación que analizó cientos de vídeos de YouTube de gatos durmiendo. Y observaron que esa posición les otorgaba cierta ventaja, porque favorece la caza y el escape tras despertarse.
Se trataría de una “ventaja evolutiva”, señala este grupo compuesto por especialistas de la Universidad de Bari Aldo Moro (Italia), la Universidad del Ruhr de Bochum, la Facultad de Medicina de Hamburgo y otros colaboradores de Alemania, Canadá, Suiza y Turquía, que publicó el estudio en la revista Current Biology.
Una estrategia de supervivencia
Los gatos domésticos duermen entre 12 y 16 horas al día, preferiblemente en lugares elevados donde sus depredadores solo pueden acceder a ellos desde abajo. Por lo tanto, pasan casi el 60-65% de su vida en un estado altamente vulnerable, lo que despertó el interés de los investigadores.
Los gatos adoptan este posición como una estrategia de defensa
El equipo analizó 408 videos públicos de YouTube en los que se veía claramente a un gato durmiendo de lado durante al menos diez segundos. Solo se utilizaron videos originales; se excluyó del estudio el material modificado o invertido. Dos tercios de los vídeos mostraban gatos durmiendo sobre su lado izquierdo, de acuerdo con el análisis.
Al analizar esa preferencia, los científicos encontraron que los felinos perciben su entorno al despertarse con su campo visual izquierdo, que se procesa en el hemisferio derecho del cerebro. Este hemisferio está especializado en la percepción espacial, el procesamiento de amenazas y la coordinación de movimientos rápidos de escape.
Por tanto, si un gato duerme sobre su hombro izquierdo y se despierta, la información visual sobre depredadores o presas se dirige directamente al hemisferio derecho del cerebro, que es el que mejor la procesa, aumentando su capacidad de reacción. “Dormir sobre el lado izquierdo puede, por lo tanto, ser una estrategia de supervivencia”, añaden los investigadores.

Alexander Dobrindt und die „konservative Revolution“
Im 18. Jahrhundert wurde die Repräsentative Demokratie auch schon mal als Wahlaristokratie bezeichnet, denn die Regierenden bleiben zwischen den Wahlen weitestgehend unabhängig von einer Kontrolle durch die Regierten und sind auch nach dem Ausscheiden aus dem Amt nahezu unantastbar.
Viele Regierende benehmen sich dann leider auch wie unbeaufsichtigte Kinder im Bonbon-Laden.
So zum Beispiel Alexander Dobrindt und die Anti demokratische Gesinnung in der CSU!
Auch wenn ihn Niemand DAFÜR gewählt hat – der Dobrindt schaffte es Anfang 2018 medial wieder weit nach vorne!
Als Abgeordneter der CSU Im Bundestag forderte der rechtskonservative Polemiker, Anfang 2018 in einem Gastbeitrag für die Welt eine „konservative Revolution“ für Deutschland.
Die „konservative Revolution“ ist ein Begriff der 'Neuen Rechten', der auf antidemokratische Strömungen in der Weimarer Republik zurückgeht. Trotz massiver Kritik hielt Dobrindt an dem Begriff fest.
Widerstand gegen seine Haltung käme vor allem von „linken Mainstream Eliten“.

The Israeli government approved a plan to stop funding housing for Israelis who lived in #gaza border settlements and were evacuated following the October 2023 attacks by #Hamas and has given them until the end of July to return home, the local Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported
The decision, approved through a phone poll vote, ends temporary housing arrangements for evacuees from 12 communities heavily affected by the Hamas-led attack. Israeli military officials confirmed that there are no longer security restrictions preventing residents from returning to these areas as of July 1.

The Liberal Misinformation Bubble About Youth Gender Medicine - The Atlantic
Maybe we're about to come back to a reasonable debate in he end ?
Allow children to transition, or they will kill themselves. For more than a decade, this has been the strongest argument in favor of youth gender medicine—a scenario so awful that it stifled any doubts or questions about puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.“We often ask parents, ‘Would you rather have a dead son than a live daughter?’” Johanna Olson-Kennedy of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles once explained to ABC News. Variations on the phrase crop up in innumerablemedia articles and public statements by influencers, activists, and LGBTQ groups. The same idea—that the choice is transition or death—appeared in the arguments made by Elizabeth Prelogar, the Biden administration’s solicitor general, before the Supreme Court last year. Tennessee’s law prohibiting the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to treat minors with gender dysphoria would, she said, “increase the risk of suicide.”
But there is a huge problem with this emotive formulation: It isn’t true. When Justice Samuel Alito challenged the ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio on such claims during oral arguments, Strangio made a startling admission. He conceded that there is no evidence to support the idea that medical transition reduces adolescent suicide rates.

Thank you, Elon!
It's been over a year since gave up on Facebook and started dabbling in the Fediverse. After the initial excitement of talking to myself on two different Mastodon instances, trying out Pixelfed and PeerTube, and setting up this blog, i soon became bored because nobody i knew had yet come across to the distributed way of doing things.
And so i pretty much ignored the entire thing, until a few weeks ago when Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44bn and promptly set about to destroy it. Suddenly loads of my friends on the birdapp were talking about Mastodon, sharing their new identities even though they hadn't posted anything yet, and asking me what mine was.
So it felt like a good time to come back to it. I tidied up my Mastodon profile, added a verified link to my website, installed a new app: MetaText is so much nicer than the standard Mastodon app. And i sort of just started posting again.
Slowly and surely, some of my friends also started posting. I've had meaningful replies and conversations! Even mainstream media is now talking about Mastodon! It looks like this thing is actually happening for real. And it's all thanks to Elon Musk!

“We know we’re on the right side of history”: Kneecap play Glastonbury despite BBC blackout
It’s almost remarkable how much ink has been spilled about Irish rap trio Kneecap.
The act, whose music celebrates drug use and puts down colonialist authorities in equal measure, became internationally infamous after a Coachella set that broadcast their views of the ongoing war in Gaza to the world. An onstage graphic that claimed Israel was committing a genocide funded by the United States landed the band in hot water. Their visas were revoked, and critics scoured their past performances for further things to get up in arms about.
When a video was found of member Mo Chara waving a Hezbollah flag he was handed from the audience, the frontman was quickly brought up on terror charges in the United Kingdom. Given the controversy around the act, and the UK’s past stances on broadcasting Irish Republicans, it might not be surprising that the BBC blacked out the band’s set from its regular feed of the annual Glastonbury Festival. ...

"But unlike the celebrated German astronomer Caroline Herschel, who was granted a salary by King George III to assist her brother William in his work as the court astronomer a century earlier, Walker’s work as a trailblazing female astronomer has been neglected."

The state is comprised of people and fictions. It is a fragile thing.
For this reason, authoritarians must first and foremost put forth an *image* of a strong state, because if the fictions--borders, nationality, the connection between state violence and justice--all are revealed for what they truly are, the people defect, and that's that.
A border does not exist except in the minds of those who have accepted it as truth, without questioning. A border is not different from a national identity: a falsity, but an important one if you're trying to pit one group against another so you can stay in power.
Don't fall for it.

GUI/App to automate key presses in linux wayland
Dunno if it would meet your needs, but I've been using Input Remapper for binding macros to various key presses and mouse buttons under Wayland. It does prompt for root access, but it's a GUI. It supports any input method, as far as I can tell. It even supports my tablet.
I use it to bind stuff like hold(key(BTN_LEFT).wait(100))
to some button to repeatedly left click while I'm holding that button down.

Now that all can see that lawfulness under fascist America is simply a badly-written play & since it's clear that our highest court is, in fact, the most corrupt one, I was reminded by these statements at the close of Pussy Riot's trial in 2012.
It really does feel like we must all rise together. Authoritarians know who their friends are, but do we understand that we must lift each other up, across false boundaries, against the death cult of old men in power today?

我爸的朋友,原本已经离婚了的。现在又要去和前妻住一起。
因为,儿子要出国了
就把房子卖了,给儿子200万,带出国。让儿子在那边买房子
我妈:那不是还有160万,足够买一套小的,装修完还有的剩。为什么要和前妻住一起。
我爸:那不是还要考虑,儿子将来还有需要钱吗
我妈:那是无底洞了
我爸:他老婆到没心事的,每个月退休工资吃光用光还不够,她两个侄子每个月一人一千,一共两千的补贴她
我妈:我命苦 你生活费都不给我,我自己工资全部贴家用,没钱出去玩
我爸:。。。。。
我身边的两个哥都是上海这边房子卖了,海外买房
