So apparently Stripe banned "Transactions that provide compensation to creators without an underlying piece of digital content associated" recently.

But they still brag about GitHub Sponsors, a service which is predominantly used for exactly that, as a key client of theirs: https://stripe.com/en-pl/customers/github

Marques Brownlee Completely Wrecks Apple's New iPad Lineup

"Taking advantage of all of this power is nearly impossible," Brownlee lamented. All that power and thinness isn't good for much if the old M1 iPad can mostly deliver the same experience for normies.

🔴 We designated Apple’s iPadOS as a gatekeeper under the Digital Markets Act.

Our investigation shows that its tablet operating system is an important gateway for businesses to reach consumers due to its large and commercially attractive user base and its importance for specific use cases.

We also discovered that Apple leverages its large ecosystem to disincentivise end users from switching to other tablet operating systems.

We will keep monitoring #DMA compliance very closely.

Wooooaaahhhh!

The new JWST image of a small bit of the Horsehead Nebula is INCREDIBLE.

To give you a sense of scale here, here’s an image of the nebula from my backyard. That small white box … that’s the JWST field of view! 🤯🤯🤯

Look at ALL those galaxies, all in that tiny white box.

JWST image credit:

Dodgy image with white boxes is my own.

#JWST #SpaceTelescope #HorseheadNebula #Astronomy #Galaxies #Astrodon

At the bottom of the image a small portion of the Horsehead Nebula is seen close-in, as a curved wall of thick, smoky gas and dust. Above the nebula various distant stars and galaxies can be seen up to the top of the image. One star is very bright and large, with six long diffraction spikes that cross the image. The background fades from a dark red colour above the nebula to black.

For a decade, Hollywood hasn’t aggressively fought piracy because it saw people would pay if they made them a good deal.

But as streaming has gotten worse and more expensive, consumers turned back to file sharing. Now the industry plans to get Congress to pass new legislation to stop them.

It's absolutely possible. But millions of people had strong reasons to use iPhones even before there were any apps, and then also before the apps were plentiful or compelling.

The customers were already there.

The challenge Apple faces with AVP is getting enough people to buy (and keep using) a device type that they weren't already buying (headsets), which is VERY expensive and limited, to accumulate enough customers for the content and software ecosystem to develop.

🚨 A STAR HAS DIED! ⭐💥

And I just happened to catch it from my city light-polluted backyard, using a 5cm aperture SeestarS50!

Check it out ... on the left is my image (only 25 mins of data). The cross hairs indicate a 'new star' appearing in galaxy NGC 3621. The right image is from Stellarium and I have annotated where the new star appears, and how it was not there before.

This is a type II supernova, so a massive star's core collapsed and triggered off an extremely violent explosion that we are seeing 22 million years later.

It likely formed a neutron star or pulsar!

It is incredibly bright and I encourage everyone to turn their telescopes towards it and get data / light curves!
