Io’s Missing Magma Ocean
In the late 1970s, scientists conjectured that Io was likely a volcanic world, heated by tidal forces from Jupiter that squeeze it along its elliptical orbit. Only months later, images from Voyager 1’s flyby confirmed the moon’s volcanism. Magnetometer data from Galileo’s later flyby suggested that tidal heating had created a shallow magma ocean that powered the moon’s volcanic activity. But newly analyzed data from Juno’s flyby shows that Io doesn’t have a magma ocean after all.
The new flyby used radio transmission data to measure any little wobbles that Io caused by tugging Juno off its expected course. The team expected a magma ocean to cause plenty of distortions for the spacecraft, but the effect was much slighter than expected. Their conclusion? Io has no magma ocean lurking under its crust. The results don’t preclude a deeper magma ocean, but at what point do you distinguish a magma ocean from a body’s liquid core?
Instead, scientists are now exploring the possibility that Io’s magma shoots up from much smaller pockets of magma rather than one enormous, shared source. (Image credit: NASA/JPL/USGS; research credit: R. Park et al.; see also Quanta)

Exclusive: China auto industry inflates sales by exporting new cars as 'used'
China's auto industry has inflated car sales for years through a burgeoning government-backed grey market that registers new cars right off the assembly line and then ships them overseas as "used" vehicles.
These so-called "zero-mileage" cars have never been driven but they are being exported as used to markets like Russia, Central Asia and the Middle East, allowing Chinese automakers to show growth and to dispose of cars that it would be difficult to sell domestically, according to a Reuters review of government documents and interviews with five auto dealers and car traders.
"This is the outcome of an almost-four-year price war that has made companies desperate to book any sales possible," said Tu Le, Michigan-based founder of consultancy Sino Auto Insights.

Harvard-linked study finds Israel ‘disappeared’ nearly 400,000 Palestinians in Gaza, half of them children: Report
A study published via the Harvard Dataverse reveals that Israel has “disappeared” at least 377,000 Palestinians since the start of its genocidal campaign against the Gaza Strip in 2023.Half of this number is believed to be Palestinian children.
The report was written by Israeli professor Yaakov Garb, who used data-driven analysis and spatial mapping to show how the Israeli army’s siege of Gaza and indiscriminate attacks on civilians in the enclave have led to a serious drop in its population.
The 377,000 Palestinians who are unaccounted for due to Israel’s genocide are approximately 17 percent of the Gaza Strip’s entire population, which now stands at about 1.85 million. Prior to the war in Gaza, the strip’s population was estimated at 2.227 million.
While some are displaced or missing, a significant number are believed to have been killed by Israeli forces, according to the report.

After Social Explosion in L.A., Millions Protest Workplace Raids, Deportations & Attacks on Democratic Rights

By Duane Stilwell
PHOENIX, Arizona — On Saturday, June 14, U.S. president Donald Trump watched over a military parade in Washington, D.C. The lackluster spectacle was designed to celebrate Trump’s birthday, which coincided with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, and thus advance the process of establishing one-man rule in the United States.
The same day, over 5 million people took part in “No Kings” rallies and marches across the country. The flagship march in Philadelphia was estimated to have surpassed 100,000 demonstrators. Other large actions included more than 50,000 in New York City, and tens of thousands in Atlanta, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

Queer Dating Apps: Beware Who You Trust With Your Intimate Data
When discussing the intersection of data privacy and LGBTQ+ experiences, it's inevitable to also talk about queer dating apps. Due to a smaller percentage of the population and a number of factors complicating in-person dating, people part of the queer community are more likely to seek online platforms to meet lovers and friends. Unfortunately, using queer dating apps can be very dangerous for privacy, and even for safety.Dating apps are generally horrible for everyone's privacy, but the queer population is at an even higher risk of harm due to discrimination, and even criminalization in certain regions.
Despite the risks, LGBTQ+ people still need to fulfill their social and romantic needs like anyone else.
This isn't an easy task outside the online realm either. Discrimination can be much worse in physical environments that aren't specifically catering to the queer community. In some regions, this can even mean a greater risk of physical aggression.
LGBTQ+ people aren't necessarily safe to date in the same ways cisgender heterosexual people are, increasing the need for safe spaces.
Another important factor is that a smaller percentage of the population necessarily creates a smaller dating pool. Even if someone were to avoid entirely online services, if they aren't located in a town large enough to host LGBTQ+ venues and events, or if they live in an environment where revealing their queer identity could be unsafe to them, online spaces might be their only viable option to find connections.
Sadly, this isn't ideal. In today's world, it seems very few services (if any) are considering the importance of data privacy for dating apps seriously enough.
For this reason, it is crucial to acknowledge the dangers, and learn about ways to minimize the risks, and to stay safe while looking for romantic or sexual partners online.

Chiusura M2 Cadorna-Garibaldi: petizione ufficiale per navetta sostitutiva con corsia preferenziale
Ciao a tutti, vi chiedo di supportare questa richiesta ufficiale al comune du Milano.
Tra poco la M2 verrà chiusa tra Cadorna e Garibaldi, per due mesi, e ATM non ha messo neanche un autobus sostitutivo.
Le soluzioni proposte da ATM fanno perdere come minimo mezz'ora, ogni volta. Un pendolare deve buttare un'ora ogni giorno, per questo scherzetto.
La richiesta linkata chiede al comune di Milano di istituire un autobus sostitutivo all'altezza, per minimizzare o disagi
Tutti i dettagli sono nella descrizione al link.
Può firmarla con SPID chi è residente a Milano, ma anche chi la frequenta perché ci lavora (io sono in questa categoria), o frequenta qualcuno che ci abita (i cosiddetti city users). In tal caso, quando si prova a firmare, bisogna compilare un'autocertificazione, seguendo le istruzioni, e poi aspettare che sia approvata (qualche info a questo link)
Grazie!

Democrats' chances of winning back Senate surge after Murkowski bombshell
Murkowski is seemingly keeping a door open to potentially caucusing with Democrats moving forward, or at the very least in a more independent mode to avoid the current hardened partisan divide, according to an interview being released in full on Tuesday.Galen Druke, host of the GD Politics podcast, asked a hypothetical question about Murkowski being open to caucusing outside of the GOP if Democrats were to pick up three Senate seats in next year's elections, and if she had more opportunities to help her Alaskan constituents.
"There may be a possibility," Murkowski said, later adding, "There is some openness to exploring something different than the status quo."
It's an open question whether this being couched as a hypothetical allowed that response. It seems plausible that this is a gambit for other reasons.

Siffleur Falls Trail (Extended), Kootenay Plains Ecological Reserve, Alberta
Moderate, 1,322 ft gain
9.5 mi Out and Back
Extending beyond Siffleur falls for another 2.3 mi to the edge of the Siffleur Wilderness area, this trail add-on increases the difficulty and the trail degrades as you get closer to the wilderness area. More views of the various rapids and falls as well as a closer look at Elbe Peak. Rope section at the end to climb a degraded hill, but not too difficult. I believe another tenth of a mile from where I turned around is a small campsite as mentioned in yesterday’s comments.

Help Mikayla Raines get justice! Make noise and let the press know about Reddit safegaurding r/saveafoxsnark even after a poor innocent women commited suicide!
Hey there! There is a Reddit subreddit called r/saveafoxsnark which bullied, harrased and spread outright lies about an animal rescuer and digital content creator called Mikayla Raines, which pushed her to commit suicide. Reddit is not banning r/saveafoxsnark even after an innocent women committed suicide! I was not comfortable being a member of a platform which gives space to communities which basically pushes someone to commit suicide. By being there I was letting Reddit gain money by selling my data, so I decided to not allow it anymore. I was a long time Reddit qunkie and couldn’t quit it and kept on going back there. But never again! I have permanently moved into Lemmy! Please help me spread this and help Mikayla get justice! Make Reddit accountable!

I guarantee that a random Italian living in a tiny nowhere village knows more about the US than your average US citizen knows about Italy. I don't know a single person who doesn't know the difference between Washington state and Washington the city.

To be fair if we're talking geographically, it'd be more fair to compare knowledge of the US to knowledge of the whole of Europe.
If we're talking about history it's a bit different.
