"The telescope has a much wider field of view than Hubble due to its shorter focal length...This has led to the donated telescopes' characterization as "Stubby Hubbles". Their obstructed design, however, may make imaging extrasolar planets more challenging, and would be unsuitable for imaging the most distant galaxies at its longest infrared wavelengths..."

We all knew about this trend, but I didn't realise it was nearly so extreme as this:
"Before 2000, for instance, only about 25% of top-grossing movies were prequels, sequels, spinoffs, etc. Now it’s 75%."

I created my Mastodon account 3 years ago today, and it has been the best online experience I've ever had.
I have a bunch of real friends here, a community of lovers of animals, of nature, of art, music, and literature. Of the possibilities of tech. Of food, gardening, travel, and cars. Of fellow LGBTQ folks. And of protecting democracy.
Thank you all. Special shout-out to @stux , who tirelessly keeps mstdn.social safe, spam-and-troll-free, and welcoming.

Timely. I think it would be a nice touch, to start using horns if people have the time for it.
The Horn-cry of Buckland, also called the Horn-call of Buckland, was used by the Bucklanders in times of danger. The words were recorded as "Awake! Fear! Fire! Foes! Awake!"
I have a vuvuzela kept stored away like an old pistol from a war in case a Protest needs such a foul weapon....
I love the idea, though if something like this horn call of Buckland, being used throughout neighborhoods in the US everywhere.

In questo periodo riesco a leggere con interesse quasi esclusivamente gialli.
Sarà perché la vicenda, se costruita bene, rimane comunque appassionante per cui, nonostante le mille distrazioni sempre in agguato, si fa seguire col desiderio di arrivare alla soluzione.
E Agatha Christie le vicende le costruiva davvero benissimo.

International Criminal Court to ditch Microsoft Office for European open source alternative
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/38271574
The International Criminal Court (ICC) will switch its internal work environment away from Microsoft Office to Open Desk, a European open source alternative, the institution confirmed to Euractiv.German newspaper Handelsblatt first reported on the plans. The switch comes amid rising concerns about public bodies being reliant on US tech companies to run their services, which have stepped up sharply since the start of US President Donald Trump’s second administration.
For the ICC, such concerns are not abstract: Trump has repeatedly lashed out at the court and slapped sanctions on its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan.
