Von wegen technologieoffen: Wie das ZDF berichtet, haben sich Minister Wissing & Staatssekretär Luksic als Lobbyisten für den Kraftstoff HVO100 einspannen lassen. Unterstützern von "HVO100 goes Germany" wurden exklusive Treffen mit Wissing oder Luksic in Aussicht gestellt - gegen saftige Bezahlung.
Luksic übernahm sogar die Schirmherrschaft für die u.a. von Tankstellen - Lobbyverbänden finanzierte Kampagne.

Wir fordern schonungslose Aufklärung!

Man sieht ein Profilbild der VCD-Bundesvorsitzenden Kerstin Haarmann am Rednerpult. Text im Bild: "Minister Wissing und die FDP tun alles, um die Wende zur E-Mobilität auszubremsen. Wie weit sie dafür zu gehen bereit sind, kommt erst allmählich ans Licht. Die vielbeschworene Technologie-Offenheit erweist sich immer mehr als Deckmantel zur Rettung des Verbrenners.", Kerstin Haarmann, VCD-Bundesvorsitzende

Gegen Fakten und Vernunft – Minister Wissing verdingt sich als Verbrenner-Lobbyist

Medienberichten zufolge haben sich Minister Wissing und sein Staatssekretär Oliver Luksic als Lobbyisten für den Reste-Kraftstoff HVO100 einspannen lassen – explizit gegen die Empfehlung der Fachleute im Verkehrsministerium.

Long before #Rosetta & 67P/C-G, there was Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 & its devastating 1994 encounter with Jupiter.

I was privileged to be part of the team that made & released the very first images of Fragment A impacting at ~20:15 UTC on 16 July, 30 years ago last night, as seen from Calar Alto in Spain.

The brightness of the impact plume was a huge surprise & the following week saw intense astronomical, media, & public engagement.

After reading an article on the average news site, there are usually links to articles of dubious quality that are often salacious clickbait. These are usually Taboola ads.

It is thus a huge surprise to hear that Apple plans to run ads from them in its News and Stocks apps.

Apple taps infamous Taboola to sell ads for Apple News and Stocks - 9to5Mac

Apple has entered a new partnership with Taboola, the ad firm known infamously for ‘chumbox’ ads, to sell ads for Apple News and Stocks.

For the Nation of Gondwana festival this weekend, me and Nicl worked on a 3D printed tactile map. Made me wonder if there are any standards in this direction, like what shape would a toilet have and all that. If anyone has some pointers, please let us know!

This was first drawn in inkscape and then later extruded layer by layer in openscad2.

A fuchsia colored 3D print, 30cm by 30cm. There's a grid of planes with cylinders and cubes on it, also a lake area, five stages and some braille markings

One of the best devices I used last week was not even electronic. It works with your smartphone, but it doesn't have a battery.

I am a huge fan of the Dot Card as it lets you share your contact information without the need to give out business cards. I think the interface could be a bit more user friendly, but it is still a fantastic device.

It's striking that so many continue to deny the Nakba when it's all so well documented. This excerpt is about the ethnic cleansing of Lod (Lydda) in July 1948:
- it's very clear that the intent is on driving out all residents of Lod, not just those who could pose military threats
- Israeli heroes (David Ben Gurion, Yigal Allon, Yitzhak Rabin) were directly responsible for ordering and implementing the expulsion

#Israel #Palestine #Nakba

Screenshot of a page that says: Ben-Gurion was at Yazur that afternoon. According to the best ac- count of the meeting, at which Yadin, Ayalon and Allon, Israel Galili and Lt Colonel Yitzhak Rabin, chief of operations of Operation Dani (and of the Palmah), were present, someone, possibly Allon, after hearing of the outbreak in Lydda, proposed expelling the inhabitants of the two towns. Ben-Gurion said nothing, and no decision was taken. Then Ben-Gurion, Allon and Rabin stepped outside for a cigarette. Allon reportedly asked: ‘What shall we do with the Arabs?’ Ben-Gurion responded with a dis- missive, energetic gesture with his hand and said: ‘Expel them [garesh otam].’88 Within minutes, at 13:30 hours, just as the shooting was dying down, Operation Dani HQ issued the following order to Yiftah Brigade HQ: 1. The inhabitants of Lydda must be expelled quickly without attention to age. They should be directed towards Beit Nabala. Yiftah [Brigade HQ] must determine the method and inform [Operation] Dani HQ and 8th Brigade HQ. 2. Implement immediately.
