   Neben den ernsthaften Arbeiten auf der #ISS haben die Besatzungen von #CFT und #Crew8 ihre eigenen olympischen Spiele veranstaltet und dabei augenscheinlich viel Spaß gehabt.

     Es ist eine der Erkenntnisse, die man aus so vielen Jahren Stationsbetrieb gesammelt hat. Menschen sind keine Maschinen und brauchen Pausen. Das kann man auch sehr gut sehen, wenn man sich die Apollo-Missionen ansieht, wo die Astronauten unter massivem Zeitdruck standen.

   The HK government bought the Olympic Games rights for HK, so that people can watch it on any channel they like, whether it's Viu, TVB, Hoy, RTHK or something else.

   But I can't seem to find anywhere online I can watch the table tennis semifinal that just finished. I found one place where I think I could have streamed it as it happened.

    There's a natural variation in ozone in the atmosphere, but CFCs and other substances were reducing ozone levels and expanding the seasonal ozone holes over the poles. The problem was real and it was getting worse, because CFCs were produced for a reason: It was really useful and cost-effective stuff.

    Banning ozone-depleting substances for use as coolants, fire supressants, aerosol agents and other applications was very successful, and after four decades we are now more than halfway to recovering to natural ozone levels.

    A few years ago there was briefly some illegal production of CFCs, which halted the recovery, but it was tracked down and halted, and we are back on track.

      There are people out there who believe this was all a hoax, that variation is all natural, etc. But we can see the ozone holes shrinking. We have seen that recovery slows when we emit new CFCs.

      We stopped doing some genuinely useful and cost-effective things because it wasn't worth the cost of harming our health. We stopped doing it in every country on the planet, because it was causing a global problem.

      Everybody signed on, there was a transition period, we initially made exceptions, but we gradually found replacements and banned more substances. In some cases the replacements still aren't as good as what we had, but our atmosphere is healing. Companies were making good money making CFCs, but now they're making good money making what replaced them.

      And even for this seemingly uncontroversial success story, there are people out there who make up stories that contradict scientific consensus and direct observation.

      Published last month: "The last ozone-layer damaging chemicals to be phased out are finally falling in the atmosphere"

      theconversation.com/the-last-o…

      Another set of gases, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), was used as a temporary replacement.

      Unfortunately, HCFCs still destroy ozone. The good news is that levels of HCFCs in the atmosphere are now falling and indeed have been since 2021 according to research I led with colleagues.

      HCFCs deplete ozone to a much smaller extent than the CFCs they have replaced – you would have to release around ten times as much HCFC to have a comparable impact on the ozone layer.

      CFCs and HCFCs are also greenhouse gases, so that's at least one category of greenhouse gases that is falling.

      The United States, West Germany, East Germany, Yugoslavia, Venezuela, the Soviet Union, China, Uganda, Indonesia, countries from every alignment and continent, had signed it by 1989. By 1991 Chile, Brazil, South Africa, Iran and India had signed, and most of the world.

      You couldn't get all these countries to agree on anything ideological, but this was just a no-brainer. We're breaking this part of the environment? Let's stop then.

    One of the applications we're developing and maintaining at work requires the user to upload a file, and when I've been doing testing I've been uploading my Fedi profile picture. It's fun and it's a small file.

    Now I was on a call with one of the devs, and we were troubleshooting a thing together, and when he needed to upload a file, he uploaded my Fedi profile picture too. 🤣

    "Yeah, I downloaded that from one of your tests"

    Not watching the trailers before watching Deadpool × Wolverine was the right choice, maaan they showed a lot.

    I had my first big surprise just minutes into the film and that would have been ruined if I had been reading or watching anything about it in advance.

      @Angry Sun It was fun, it was funny, it was gory, it was exciting, it had drive, it was tight, it had love for Marvel Marvel and Fox Marvel, and it had its own weird brand of touching moments within the madness and irreverance.

      It was a very consistent third Deadpool with more cameos and references than ever, while delivering an actual story and an adventure.

    What is that? Is it some rocket weapon? Is it still in its packaging and needs to be unpacked before use?

      @mhd Looks like you're right, this seems to be the same weapon.

      Designed for two-handed operation, it features high-performance directional antennas in a robust, rifle-style design. The control panel allows operators to select and engage specific jamming frequencies, tailored for optimal effectiveness against various UAS threats, according to the company.

      Upon activation, the system triggers a response from the targeted drone, compelling it to either perform an immediate vertical landing or return to its point of origin or remote controller.

    Ich habe einen Becher aus Edelstahl, aus dem ich meinen Tee trinke. Der darf nicht in die Spülmaschine, also wasche ich ihn per Hand ab - aber dann bleiben Teereste. Erfolgreich war ein drittel Spülmaschinen-Tab, wisst ihr bessere/preiswertere Lösungen?

      Der Becher erfüllt ja genau seinen Zweck und scheint auch haltbar zu sein - nur gibt es den Punkt mit der Spülmaschine. Und ich muss es ja nicht darauf ankommen lassen, wenn es nicht sein muss.

    I heard the term "TABs" for the first time, in an accessibility context. TAB stands for "Temporarily Able-Bodied", and is a term that puts a focus on the fact that having a disability or being able-bodied is not an essential trait, it's where you are in life.

    Of course, some people may be able-bodied their whole life, and you should build universally useful things not because you might personally benefit but because it's the right thing to do. But I think the term is an interesting twist on things, that might help people put things in perspective.

    This post describes it well:

      It's impossible for a computer nerd to hear "TABs" without thinking about the age-old conflict about tabs vs spaces for indentation of program text.

      In the disability context #TabsVsSpaces could be about how people without disabilities go and design bad spaces that work only for them.

      Just to confuse things. 😅

    • Radverkehr

    !fedibikes group !Radverkehr Ich bin im Moment dabei, verschiedene Tracking-Möglichkeiten für meine Räder unter Android zu testen. Ich teste derzeit Tile Pro, Chipolo ONE Point und Chipolo ONE. Das Tile und das Chipolo ONE nutzen ihre eigenen Netzwerke, das Chipolo ONE Point nutzt das "Mein Gerät finden" von Google.

    Meine Erfahrung derzeit ist, dass das Chipolo-Netzwerk unbrauchbar ist. Bei Tile und bei Google ist mal das eine, und mal das andere besser. Es gibt dort keinen klaren Favoriten. Ich habe mir die Halter von bik3d.com/ bestellt, sobald diese angekommen sind, reiche ich gerne meine Erfahrung nach. Ich werde an meinen Rädern das Chipolo ONE Point und das Tile Pro anbringen. Das Chipolo ONE (das ich schon vor einiger Zeit gekauft habe), werde ich ggf. für Dinge wie Schlüsselbunde oder so verwenden.
