Exactly, thanks for sharing the link. The interaction between threadiverse platforms and mastodon (sadly for pixelfed this does not work) is exactly as it is for fedigroups.social or what used to be a.gup.pe.

There’s also the dynamics that burning fuel makes the aircraft lighter, whereas consuming electricity does not impact battery weight.

Based on my experience with the Yaris (which is y personal attempt to remake the Taxi 2 movie), take-off would need both types of engines.

In your comment I read the assumption that take off would be in hybrid mode. Not sure it’s a given.

I don’t see this disputed so much as I see the need for “all science requires methodology”. I find it ridiculous that research in technical areas like LLMs has given up on any pretence of reproducibility.

That’s a very simplistic interpretation. A popular book that counters it is https://bookwyrm.social/book/29025/s/thinking-fast-and-slow

I personally have huge doubts about the methodological merits of phenomenology. Consider this as a starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenology_(psychology)

Marketing does not care about the validity of its claims.

Here is the explanation from the article that contradicts its title:

Ozone forms when volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by some vegetation, vehicles and chemical industries react with nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are emitted mostly by traffic and industry. A series of reactions between these compounds in the presence of sunlight causes ozone to form. Breathing in ozone can inflame or damage the airways, causing breathing difficulties, particularly in people with asthma or lung disease.

I’m not that convinced that not responding to “how’s everybody doing with their communities” is indicative of anything.

Same experience here. Then I learned about court juries and it kinda confirmed the idea.

Would also be nice if they start explicitly treating the threadiverse as groups. This is already doable, but some usability sweeteners would make it much more accessible. It’s an absolute win-win for everyone on the fediverse.

That’s amazing progress. My next wish: being able to see past DMs with someone.

Wow, this is exciting. Looking forward to learn quite a bit.

Residents of Spain’s Ceuta shut down far-right anti-migrant rally

Hundreds of residents in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta gathered to oppose a planned far-right anti-migrant rally, forcing organisers to cancel the event amid heightened tensions following a temporary influx of migrants crossing from Morocco.

Matteo Villa, a migration researcher at the Italian Institute for International Political Studies, said politics was most likely involved. “What happened in 2021 was the small-scale version of what happened yesterday,” he said. “I mean, 50,000 people do not come overnight when usually it’s hundreds per month. Sánchez going to Algeria is something Morocco didn’t really like.”

Villa suggested Morocco may have loosened the border as a way of showing it has “the upper hand”, especially because authorities there know it would cause an overreaction in Europe. “They love seeing all the fighting between European countries,” he added.

This is want Meloni and Tajani are playing Europe into:

The speculation has been fueled by public statements by Israeli officials and by pro-Israel commentators. In an article published in March, former Pentagon official Michael Rubin opined that “Moroccans should gather, send bulldozers to the border, and then enter Ceuta and Melilla unarmed to raise the [Moroccan] flag.”

And in a dispatch for the Israeli Ynet News website, Amine Ayoub – a fellow at the neoconservative Middle East Forum – proposed that Israel should “help Morocco reclaim” Ceuta and Melilla. In Ayoub’s view, the timing for such an operation was particularly ripe on account of the fraught relationship between the US and Spain, with the Spanish government having been annoyingly uncooperative in the US-Israel war on Iran.

In the very last sentence of his intervention, Ayoub arrived at the real reason for Israeli “help” to Morocco: “It is strategic investment in the partner that, across the Strait of Gibraltar, holds the key to one of the world’s most vital maritime chokepoints.”

…and Meloni’s Italian government is the most hypocritical of all

“Italy’s position is unworthy of a European partner,” S&D Spanish MEP Javi Lopez said on X. “When migration is weaponised, Europe answers with solidarity, not selfishness. After 700,000+ arrivals from Libya, Italy received European support, not lectures. Solidarity is not a one-way street.” https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/08/01/ceuta-migrant-crisis-sparks-strong-reactions-from-all-over-europe
