I think it's glorious that there's now a Mastodon server operated by people who used to work for Twitter (macaw.social). I could have never imagined it when I started in 2016.

This is *not* a space skull.💀 This is an X-ray binary system made of two parts: a compact stellar remnant -- either neutron star or black hole; and a companion star, with surrounding gas heated to millions of degrees. We repeat: This is not a space skull. go.nasa.gov/3DjHE5N #NASAExoplanets nitter.net/NASAExoplanets/stat

Why is our Sun smiling? We think its because of all the planets it has, but it might just be coronal holes seen in ultraviolet light. (Regions where fast solar wind gushes into space.) We do know of another star with 8 planets, and that makes *us* smile: go.nasa.gov/3FQucZQ #NASAExoplanets nitter.net/NASAExoplanets/stat

The planets beyond our solar system, exoplanets, are mysterious wonders. There are super puffy cotton-candy planets, and a world with the consistency of a marshmallow was recently discovered. Sweet! Tour our favorites: go.nasa.gov/3zyNaAr #NASAExoplanets nitter.net/NASAExoplanets/stat

Once a tech company creates the capability to control your behavior (via subscription terms or otherwise), they will eventually want - or be coerced - to use that capability to harm you.

Product managers should think very carefully about how much exposure to external leverage they create, even inadvertently, that other actors could use to harm the people who use their products.

Yet another great read from @pluralistic (Cory Doctorow).

Has anyone else noticed that #SteamDeck's standby battery life went from abysmal (a few days) to shockingly, Macbook-level awesome in the span of a few months?

What a nice surprise.
