Interesting discussion/topic. I wonder if there are empty void of life areas around things like these....how long for life to return etc.... questions of the universe...
I have always objected to depictions of black holes that show black. Even though most of the material falling into the black hole does so along the equatorial plane and perhaps the polar plane there will be plenty falling in over its whole surface to create tremendous amounts of radiation from nearby space. The whole disk would be blazing light. To see an image anything like this would require heavy filtering leaving only the brightest sources visible. Not a naked eye view.
That image of a black hole popularized some years back required a lot of manipulation of the data to produce the dot we saw.
Due to the brilliance of the central quasar, the surrounding galaxy is outshone by it and hence is not visible from Earth. With an absolute magnitude of β30.7, it shines with a luminosity of 4Γ1040 watts, or as brilliantly as 140 trillion times that of the Sun, making it one of the brightest objects in the known Universe.[1]

Twelve people, including seven Syrians, were killed and eight others injured on Tuesday in Israeli airstrikes on the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, one of which targeted a camp for displaced Syrians.The Lebanese National News Agency reported that
They celebrate Israel bombing Lebanon, Yemen, Gaza, Iran and Iraq.
now they have woken up to reality of being US puppets. they have passed their usability and now they are being used for the next phase of the plan to build the greater Israel .
Arabs don't seem to learn a lesson from past mistake . their hate of the Shia and Iran as well as any other non wahhabi Muslim is deeper than their self preservation drive .
and Israel knows perfectly well how to play them. one by one they fall and then go on killing each other or become slaves of the Israeli regime .
New US Stealth Bombers Painted in Epsteinβs List, Making Them Disappear
"he US Air Force announced it would be painting its existing line of fighter jets and stealth bombers in a paint made from the Epstein List, which makes them impossible to see. βThis huge military effort has taken countless peopleβs involvement to put together. Of course, weβd never reveal who those people are. Actually, I mean, there are no people. Yeah, no people,β said one Air Force General."
Since being entirely covered in the paint made from the Epstein List the stealth bombers are now 99% invisible, meaning that much like Epstein's own planes, only the most powerful 1% will have access to them.
There is international silence about the bombing of Syrian defence ministry by #Israel - of the official (accepted and promoted by the West) government. #Syria doesn't have the "right to defend itself"? todon.nl/@prolrage/11486347323β¦
The Israeli military struck the Syrian defence ministry in Damascus twice on Wednesday as it intervened in the clashes between the Syrian army and Druze fighters in southern Syria in the countryβs deadliest violence in months.
The strikes collapsed four floors of the ministry and ruined its facade. Syrian state media said at least two officers had been wounded and staff were reportedly sheltering in the buildingβs basement.

For instance I own 6 bicycles which are all completely incompatible with all brands of automotive fuel and tyres. They lack safety belts and all other vehicular safety features.
However they are excellent modes of transport. I've commuted on them, covered over 100 miles in a day using them, and I have carried tens of kilos of cargo on them.
If I had a Symbian phone today and it was able to communicate with, say, Beeper over @matrix, along with the other functions of something like an HMD 2660, I'd be 100% fine with that.
An iconic flip phone with no social media β just clear calls, a tough build and a long-lasting battery. Its mirrored glass front gives it a stunning finish.
@matrix, agree and for sure for a lot of people Symbiant is perfectly valid, but my wife and also I am very old and we need eg. an app of our doctors appointments in the social security, official app only for Android and iOS and maybe forks of these.
Same for others which needs official apps which I doubt exist for Symbian. Nothing to do with having enough with an bicycle, the difference between need and nice to have.
All right, fair point. (Although my mum is nearly 90 and has an appless phone, so it's not one-size-fits-all.)
But the thing is that you said:
"A good OS incompatible with needed apps... isn't valid for an practical use."
I am guessing you mean "any". I gave you a valid use. OSes with no apps can be entirely useful, yes.
For instance, you also said "and security soft". If something can't run external apps then it can't run malware either, so no _security software_ is needed. I do not _want_ apps on my router, or on my storage server, or on my ebook reader!
The obsession with apps is a recent thing and it's everywhere. It's a red herring. Not everything needs apps, even including computing devices, and often, providing the ability to run external software is harmful and insecure.
@matrix, agree with this statement, as I said before, for a lot of people Symbian is a pretty good alternative, but not for all because mencioned reasons, eg. also profesionals which have to work with company or specific apps.
Luckily there are also pretty good FOSS alternatives out there which are also compatible with needed apps.
Compatibility is always an important reason for a lot of users.
Yes, in my case I also can try to make a call for an appointment, but it's often impossible due of the office hours, presence of the nurse, because heavy traffic in the hospital and others, apart the need to pass always all the ID data, security number and other, because of this the social security intriduced the app some years ago.
The app connect direct with the calendar of the doctor, selecting a free zone, marking day and hour 24/7 with your registred data, even putting an alarm in your calendar, thing of half a minute and few clicks and aliviate a lot the work of the hospital personal, which is hard enough.
Auch wenn die UN-Kinderrechtskonvention wahrscheinlich einer der Konventionen ist, die wir hier bei Mastodon mit am hΓ€ufigsten zitieren, so ist sie doch nicht die Γ€lteste der vier Optionen.
Zuerst verabschiedet wurde die UN-Rassendiskriminierungskonvention, kurz #ICERD. Und zwar am 21. Dezember 1965.
Die Kinderrechtskonvention ist im Vergleich dazu deutlich jΓΌnger β tatsΓ€chlich wurde sie erst 1989 verabschiedet.
Fun fact: die ICERD ist die, gegen die Israel β wie vom IGH hΓΆchstgerichtlich bestΓ€tigt β mit seiner offiziellen institutionalisierten Rassendiskrimierung systematisch verstΓΆΓt.

The vast majority of the public get it. Why on earth support a bunch of ignorant, self-serving chancers whose only interest is cashing in personally on chaos and division?
A bbc report on china is only worth reading to observe whatever the fuck is going on in the uk establishment's brains, such as they are.
The actual facts of the situation, in this case the death of former premier Li Keqiang, have to be twisted, distorted, or outright fabricated to suit whatever the uk establishment wishes to convey to it's subject population.
I'm trying to imagine the Chinese state doing anything other than what it's doing right now, granting a lavish state funeral to one of its most prominent political leaders.
Can you imagine how fucking odd it would be if the Chinese had buried Li in secret?
Yet the most normal thing for this State to be doing right now is, as everything else, signs that the CCP and China are on the verge of collapse right now in the minds of uk's chronic pandaslayers.
a thing to bear in mind: if you want to get the inside scoop by searching chinese media for ζε εΌΊ you're likely to see people bowing literally to Li's dead body and consoling his widow Cheng Hong. So don't do that unless you want to see a dead body.
Good to know some jobs will never be automated by LLMs, the task of asking someone who works for the CIA via an arm's length organisation what's happening in China for example.
It's actually really tough being a bbc journalist. Instead of just doing everything on ChatGTP like a normal journalist, you have to ring up the MET and transcribe everything they say word-for-word which takes a lot longer. People should stop insulting us so much on social media.

Stamatopoulou-Robbins estimates that as many as 67,000 #Gazans may have died of starvation since the start of the war, and that over 10,000 more may not have been counted in the death toll because they are still buried in the rubble caused by #US.-supplied aircraft and bombs. This pushes the number of people killed in the war to well over 100,000, with, sadly, more to come as disease increases in a population bereft of adequate clean water, sanitation, or access to medical care. If the bombing in #Gaza stopped tomorrow, deaths caused by the conflict would continue for some time given the awful conditions people are being forced to live in. Due to its ongoing role in financing and arming Israel, the United States has more leverage over Israelβs conduct than any other nation, if Washington is willing to use it. Itβs possible that #Netanyahu would try to carry on in any case, but without access to U.S. funds, weapons, and logistical and maintenance support his military reach would be more limited, and his ability to spark a regional war would be stymied. How can any U.S. official speak of the βrules-based international orderβ with a straight face given Washingtonβs enabling of the Gaza war? How can Washington press other nations to end systematic abuses of human rights? forbes.com/sites/williamhartunβ¦
The Costs of #War #Project researchers estimate the cost to #US taxpayers at over $17.9 billion, and the likely number of people killed at well over 100,000 β which, even then, is a βvery conservative, minimum amount of death.β As researchers begin to calculate the costs, the human and monetary toll is starting to become clearer. βWith only marginal exceptions, every single person in #Gaza is sick, injured, or both,β the physicians wrote to #Biden. βWe worry that unknown thousands have already died from the lethal combination of malnutrition and disease, and that tens of thousands more will die in the coming months, especially with the onset of the winter rains in Gaza. Most of them will be young children.β Still, factors like the destruction of water infrastructure and sanitary facilities mean the real loss may be incalculable for years to come. Savell said that the numbers used here are a βreally solid, conservative minimum number of deaths.β Given the depletion of Gazaβs medical system, thousands more have likely died due to lack of care for their chronic illnesses. (Cancer care, for example, has been unavailable in Gaza, as has most prenatal care. βA big portion of death tolls from war comes in deaths of newborns, and pregnant mothers,β Savell said. #WarCrimes analystnews.org/posts/in-one-yβ¦

Space weather βreporterβ Vigil will be the worldβs first space weather mission to be permanently positioned at Lagrange point 5, a unique vantage point that allows us to see solar activity days before it reaches Earth. ESAβs Vigil mission will be a dedicated operational space weather mission, sending data 24/7 from deep space.
Vigilβs tools as a space weather reporter at its unique location in deep space will drastically improve forecasting abilities. From there, Vigil can see βaround the cornerβ of the Sun and observe activity on the surface of the Sun days before it rotates into view from Earth. It can also watch the Sun-Earth line side-on, giving an earlier and clearer picture of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) heading toward Earth.
Radiation, plasma and particles flung towards Earth by the Sun can pose a very real risk to critical infrastructure our society relies on. This includes satellites for navigation, communications and banking services as well as power grids and radio communication on the ground.
A report by Lloydβs of London estimates that a severe space weather event, caused by such an outburst of solar activity, could cost the global economy 2.4 trillion dollars over five years.
ESAβs response to this growing threat is Vigil, a cornerstone mission of the Agencyβs Space Safety Programme, planned for launch in 2031. Vigilβs data will give us drastically improved early warnings and forecasts, which in turn help protect satellites, astronauts and critical infrastructure on the ground that we all depend on.

Athens, Greece: Comrades Accused of βConspiracy Vengeance/Armed Responseβ Case Attempt Escape
As expected, once again, the police-DAEB in collaboration with the corrupt judges did what they know best to do, to βcookβ, to direct, to set up the trials and to get the result they want. Thus, with great audacity, the prosecutor Pappas Spyridon, within an hour, without any substantial arguments and a clear picture, βbaggedβ most of the accused, assigning to five of them the charge of 187A, that of terrorist organization. A specific name often used by the state and the judiciary to suppress their enemies. In other words, those who chose to oppose social cannibalism, those who chose not to be slaves of the bosses, those who do not accept the few to rule the many, for a life of freedom. Freedom is a basic foundation of life, it is in the nature of human beings, let alone prisoners, to seek it. Thus, on Thursday 10/7, in the Loukareos courts, some of the accused chose the path to freedom, even at the risk of their own lives. Despite the protection measures of the state apparatus and without any scruples about the consequences of this decision, they clashed with the cops, managing to wrest the weapon from one and immobilize a second. However, in their attempt to free the remaining accused, the cops regrouped and the escape attempt ended. They may not have won their freedom this time, but they managed to humiliate the entire security system with its armed cops, sending a strong message of solidarity and the realization that with risk and will, anything can happen. What is written above is not something you would hear or learn from the manipulative media, they know very well how to cover up the mistakes and dirt of their bosses.

Guy next to me at the cafe Iβm working out of this morning gets a call:
ββ¦ no we donβt live there anymoreβ¦ noβ¦ no, we donβt live there anymoreβ¦ are you serious?! [my ears perk up] Is this AI?β¦ It is?!β
Spoke to him afterwards. Apparently βsome energy company.β And it was an LLM on the other side. He said it sounded so real (a woman who gave him her name and sounded perfectly normal) until he asked it if it was AI when it responded βyesβ and then restarted the script.
@simonzerafa It should be illegal for companies to deploy AI that doesnβt introduce itself as such at the very least. Should be illegal, period, given the environmental impact. And by environment impact, I mean its destruction of our own habitat.
my adult son got on a call like that yesterday. "She" was yammering away about something (incorrectly), and he kept trying to interrupt: Ma'am... ma'am? Ma'am!
I had a call like this the other week. the inflection kind of gives it a way and as someone who worked in call centers while in university no one is that chipper to be working in one.
So I started trying to give it verbal prompts. didn't get far but I DID get it to explain to me how to center a div.
So if you suspect you're getting a call from an LLM just start throwing prompts at it. Hell it might actually help you get some work done.
