That makes sense to have them for the purpose you state.

When it comes to #quantum #technology, #niobium is making a comeback. For the past 15 years, niobium has been sitting on the bench after experiencing a few mediocre at-bats as a core qubit material. #Qubits are the fundamental components of quantum devices. One qubit type relies on superconductivity to process information.

Evacuate to where exactly? Is this what they are building the structure on the other side of the border for ?

Well done to everyone on Mastodon.Scot for staying above the 50% mark, but there’s still a long way to go to get to the top of these rankings.
But thanks to everyone who adds Alt Text to their images. It makes such a huge difference to the timelines of every screen reader user.
You are beautiful people.

There’s been a lot of talk about social media companies’ power as users post support for Palestine and report subsequent shadowbans.
We looked into it on Instagram—and found the platform:
⚠️ suppressed hashtags
⚠️ demoted photos of soldiers, tanks, and city ruins
⚠️ deleted captions without warning
⚠️ categorized comments criticizing Israel + supporting Palestine as “spam”
⚠️ limited users’ ability to appeal moderation decisions
⚠️ more.
Read the story and our methodology:

As previously mentioned, here's what Einstein had to say about segregation:
"There is a separation of white people and colored people in the United States. That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it."
For the last 20 years of his career, Einstein declined almost all public speaking engagements, except those at Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

I wonder if people will ponder the fact that people in Ukraine and Gaza go through this on a DAILY basis.
Councils blame budget cuts, odd when you have community sports facilities you save money longer term in terms of healthcare

LAST CHANCE TO HEAR… about the heyday of when there were annual LGBT Health conferences and people came from all over to learn about how to make the NHS work for us and do better. I was there to co-chair these particular proceedings in 2010 and also to document the spirit in sound. My Podcast will be shutting down soon so be sure to download the recordings you want to keep and preserve. https://podcast.plain-sense.co.uk/e/the-lgbt-health-summit-2010/

@AkaSci First computer game I ever played was Lunar Lander in BASIC on a DEC10/teletype in 1973. Maybe they should have run that?
Their is a call for a ban on under 16s having phones here too (UK) This is from the parents of Molly Russell and Brianna Ghey, former took her life following relentless bullying, latter was murdered by a teen who had a hatred of Trans people the other did it for kicks.
While I understand their sentiment, parents need to start to actually PARENT their kids properly rather than buying a mobile child minder and just shoving that in their hands, while they are also glued to thair phones, oblivious to what their kids are doing and usually don't seem to actually care.
We need to educate people as to what is acceptable behaviour however those rules come from government who are hardly in a position to dictate given their behaviour, on top of that we have mass killing in Gaza and perjaps the west bank, and the government justifiy this with self defense, when the rest of the population want this killing to stop, or political class just let it carry on. So governments are not in a position to really dictate,
Social media companies can only go so far surely, before parents need to step in, kids and teens are worried about what they see online and look to adults to help with this, we are just failing, as profits seem to come first before ethics, safety, etc.

Aw yeah ban teens from social media but make it legal for them to work the night shift in the cold chopping room at the meath chopping factory.
These kids will hate us all forever and we will deserve it.
The active shooter drills, failing to protect trans teens, taking their damn phones, burning their books and sending them to the factory. Fail fail fail fail fail.
