To the point

  • A look into the heart of an active galaxy: Astronomers have captured an image of the origin of a cosmic jet. The image and its artificial coloring remind of the eye of Sauron.

  • The question of the origin of neutrinos: PKS 1424240 is the brightest neutrino-emitting object of its kind. However, the concentrated mass flow is too slow to explain the emission of neutrinos.

  • Spiral magnetic fields accelerate particles: 15 years of precise observations with the Very Long Baseline Array have enabled a detailed analysis of the jet's origin. The radio image could solve this problem, as it shows ring-shaped magnetic fields, an environment that acts like a spring and can accelerate particles to high energies. This in turn explains neutrinos and high-energy gamma radiation.

Mariane Paviasen Jensen, a Greenland MP for the Inuit Ataqatigiit party and prominent environmentalist, has described a 60 Minutes Australia program shown on Channel Nine on August 10 as a “propaganda broadcast” for an Australian mining company and the United States President Donald Trump — who has publicly declared his intention to takeover Greenland “one way or another”.

Entitled “Why are China and the US fighting over Greenland's rare earths?”, the program promoted a giant rare earths and uranium open cut mine in Kuannersuit near Narsaq — Paviasen Jensen’s hometown — which has been proposed by Australian company Energy Transitions Minerals (ETM) but rejected by the Greenland government in 2023. The company is challenging this decision in Greenlandic and Danish courts.

The ATO data, released exclusively to the ABC, shows the only investors making an average rental loss in 2022–23 were those with 19 or more property interests, both on an individual investor and individual rental basis.

...

In 2022–23, profits from investor-owned rentals plummeted 73 per cent.

In dollar figures, that equated to net rental income (income after expenses) falling from almost $5.9 billion in 2021–22, to less than $1.6 billion in 2022–23.

Despite the drop, investor numbers, and the number of rentals they owned, shrank less than 1 per cent, suggesting falling rental profitability did not trigger any significant rental sell-off.

...

The ATO data showed mega landlords with 20 or more rentals were the only group that made average losses throughout the COVID-19 era of record-low interest rates.

Mr Eslake says this underscores the importance of negative gearing to the wealthiest investors and scuppers the argument that it is predominantly used by "mums and dads trying to get ahead".

Bobbi is a transgender woman who lived the first 60 years of her life in the United States, where she worked as a NASA engineer.

At around the same time as her transitioning, Bobbi found her home state of Florida increasingly hostile — a state experiencing a record-high wave of anti-transgender legislation.

So she and her partner Tam decided to move. To where, was the question.

The couple searched worldwide for a new home, including the east African island nation of Mauritius and Portugal in Europe.

But when one of Tam's daughters moved from Bendigo to Rupanyup in regional Victoria in 2021 the couple learnt that it was an inclusive town for gender diverse people.

The missing interview and dead link were later noted by independent Senator Lidia Thorpe, who posted about it on Instagram.

I've not heard the term privatisation used in this way. This company is already privately owned, just not by a single individual or entity. That's not the same thing as being publicly owned, at least here in Australia it's not.

Please note this is a crosspost I thought may be interesting to folks who might only browse the aussie.zone communities and aren't aware of this history.

If you shorten OpenSUSE to OS, then add OS to the end (shorthand for operating system), you get OSOS.

Job done.

I think the major hurdle is that they can't just rebrand the existing app, they have to release a new one. Keeping the K-9 app around will help the user transition long term. The folks in this thread follow Thunderbird and Thunderbird for Android development but my guess is the majority of K-9 users don't. At some point when or if K-9 installs drop they will probably revisit the issue.

Can I pay KDE to put ads in all that empty space?

I hope the folks laid off land on their feet.

I'm starting to think FF is being deliberately run into the ground by the higher ups. It would be good to hear from some of the devs about their thoughts on all this.
