Some of the findings match a pre-existing pipe dream but this boring alternative is pretty neat too:

The latest findings do not provide definitive proof of black hole cosmology, with more evidence required to fully understand the implications.

Shamir noted that an alternative explanation for why most of the galaxies in the study rotate clockwise is that the Milky Way’s rotational velocity is having an impact on the measurements.

“If that is indeed the case, we will need to re-calibrate our distance measurements for the deep universe,” said Shamir.

"The re-calibration of distance measurements can also explain several other unsolved questions in cosmology such as the differences in the expansion rates of the universe and the large galaxies that according to the existing distance measurements are expected to be older than the universe itself.”

IIRC the process where Apple remains a gatekeeper (because they need to notarise) and still charges a fee is being scrutinised in a separate ongoing process.

There were some allegations of toxic work environment which seemed to be confirmed by couple of execs being arrested a year ago or so although I don’t think that kind of thing made gamers cancel anything.

If I had to guess why this happens on Lemmy then I’d bet on people not knowing that they get information from politically biased sources and those guys can be really good at hiding their true nature. After their opinion is formed the good old „stop liking things I don’t like” instinct kicks in and hence the downvotes. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t guilty of this, hence I can describe the process in detail. Took me way to long to realise.

This or either Iran or Turkey intervenes because both are regional powers. Turkey will most likely stay away because Erdogan decided to seize a different opportunity (and conflict with Israel is a conflict with US). Iran on the other hand though… it really looks like they’re purposefully pushed into war.

You’re seeing cancel culture in action. Anything that can be defined as „woke” gets review bombed and some video game salesmen („reviewers”) pander to that crowd because outrage sells too.

Switzerland is targeted because of this:

states would not be able to spend the money on products “where there can be a control on the use or the destination of that weapon . . . It would be a real problem if equipment acquired by countries cannot be used because a third country would object,” one of the officials said.

Which is perfectly reasonable. Switzerland can sit on a throne of flawless ethics but it’s just pointless to source weapons from there.

As an Apple user I hope they get dragged into compliance even if they kick and scream.

It is Wednesday my dudes.

There’s plethora of content on X like politicians, celebrities, media workers, quips, commentary on quips and commentary on commentary. They’re there because for those who made it that means money and influence. People enable it because they confuse politics with entertainment.

They’re trying to put a price tag on ability to influence societies. It does have value but I’m pretty sure everyone is guesstimating.

It wasn’t before? What a blindspot lol.

I wouldn’t make this judgment based on a single news piece with 2 pictures total but I’ll be on a lookout if this is a pattern.

I’m a Pole so I probably didn’t consider German military could be good news or sexy, even subconsciously. But then you have those Hugo Boss uniforms. Hmmmm.

But if you won’t quantify value of laughter then how will you know how much to charge for it?

a very sad /s

My money is on subconscious fear of German women. Maybe they grew up on Allo Allo!

Got to watch this now, it’s another very good showing on current gen consoles from Ubisoft (from technical perspective at least).

Also happy to see that 40 FPS with RTGI mode is becoming increasingly more common. It’s feels weird that this generational leap is happening at the end of life of this hardware and hinges on a gamers having fairly modern TVs though.

If it’s anything like Analogue Pocket then the contact points will need to be in pristine condition. Blowing on them might not do the trick but isopropyl swab should.

I’ve never heard of flywheel energy storage before. This is so cool, thanks!

It’s an air raid alert map with a date and time, which was supposed to serve as a supplement to the news piece.
