Three years ago, astronauts aboard the International Space Station jettisoned an SUV-sized collection of trash that was supposed to burn up harmlessly in the atmosphere. Now it looks like a piece of it just crashed through a house in Florida. scientificamerican.com/article…

Space Junk from the International Space Station May Have Struck a Home in Florida

Three years ago astronauts threw out the largest piece of trash ever tossed from the International Space Station. Now some of it seems to have punched a hole through a house in Naples, Fla.

I am begging developers of command line tools to simply write an example of the working command after the options. reading a 1000 lines of documentation with a million -flags and -switches and then guessing how im supposed to use them is not fun.

@adingbatponder Unfortunately we still have a small team which makes this a bit out of scope for us right now. There has been an issue submitted, which is still open, and there are some suggested solutions for safeguarding K-9 and your phone if it is lost or stolen: github.com/thunderbird/thunder…

1/2 "Psychológia však vie, že ani tie najlepšie rady neprinesú zázrak. Každý z nás si musí nájsť tú správnu receptúru na udržiavanie rovnováhy a duševnej pohody. Ani to však nestačí. Potrebujeme si dovoliť smútiť. Naozaj svoje emócie precítiť a byť s nimi. Odhodlanie budeme najbližšie roky potrebovať. Ak však „zanedbáme“ smútenie a pustíme sa do akcie, hrozí nám príliš rýchle vyhorenie."

O povolebnom smútení

Médiá, sociálne siete a rozhovory zaplavila vlna emocionálnych reakcií na výsledky prezidentských volieb. Ľudia opisujú smútok, hovoria o túžbe odísť z krajiny (alebo sa na Slovensko už nevrátiť).

2/2 "Ak nám však svet nie je ľahostajný, smútenie ostane natrvalo. Smútenie je novým normálom. Má podobu existenciálneho uvedomenia, že svet nikdy nebol a nebude bezpečný, a toto uvedomenie nám surovo pripomína hodnotu života, hodnotu našich činov a postojov. Rovnako nám však pripomína hodnotu každodennosti. Môžeme žiť spokojný život s blízkymi, mať radosť z jarných kvetov a zároveň môžeme (a mali by sme) smútiť."

Thanks to all you developers out there adding brand colors to your apps over the past months we're almost ready to launch featured banners ✨

If you're an app maintainer and haven't done this yet for your app, here are the docs: docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-…

To make it more interesting we're setting a deadline! We will be launching the new banners on April 20th, so for the possibility to be featured during the first week, update your apps today :)

Screenshot of the top part a staging version of the Flathub home page with app banners. There's a large banner with Fragments at the top, and a smaller banner with Komikku below, as well as another small card explaining Flathub with a Setup button.

Elon Musk Leads Far Right Propaganda Blitz On Brazil’s Democracy - BRASILWIRE

With all the bullshit money can buy, the Tesla billionaire is instigating a digital proto-coup, reminiscent of what happened on social networks in early 2013 – but this time those behind it are in plain sight.

Just a heads-up that #Snikket #Android has been pulled by #Google from the store. We'll work on restoring it once we figure out their (as usual) nonsensical complaints. Apologies to everyone affected. Please look at #FDroid and free yourself.

Today's excuse for delisting yet another #XMPP app?

"Your app is uploading users' Image information without posting a privacy policy link or text within the Play Distributed App."

Funny. What's this then?? 👀
