@Daemon De mon côté le choix est facile, mon compte était déjà déactivé depuis quelques temps, je vais simplement le ré-activer pour le supprimer.

.@maxschrems: "The European Court of Justice has already made it clear that Meta has no 'legitimate interest' to override users' right to data protection when it comes to advertising. Yet the company is trying to use the same arguments for the training of undefined 'AI technology'. It seems that Meta is once again blatantly ignoring the judgements of the CJEU."

@Le_M_Poireau Certes, mais cela devrait tout de même servir d’électrochoc pour encourager une plus grande participation ...

Today the Swiss Army is landing the FA-18 fighter jets on the highways. It's an exercise to train the pilots at landing on "decentralized" infrastructure in case of degraded airbases.

And of course, the Swiss Army wouldn't land a fighter jet on the highway without paying for the highway tax sticker

I still read a lot of "paper" books and take A LOT of notes which often slows me down. My process is to transcribe from the book, there has to be a better way.

Does anyone have any apps that are very streamlined for taking notes while reading on paper & automatic appending to a note?

Update: Actually, Highlighted is exactly that. Capture OCR highlights from books, export a TXT/Markdown/CSV…

Thank you @damirstuhec so much for building Highlighted 🙌🙏

@Kensan Wish it would be more streamlined.

Open App, Tap Book Currently Reading

Switching back between Photos, Camera and Notes app is a bit painful.

@ahmetasabanci Definitely a different time!

~100 more Starlink v1 satellites will be burning up in the upper atmosphere in the next 6 months, bringing up the total number of de-orbited Starlink satellites to ~500 out of 6000 launched
https://api.starlink.com/public-files/Commitment%20to%20Space%20Sustainability.pdf

De-orbiting satellites by burning them up did work when the volume of satellites was small, but already 10% of aerosol particules in the stratosphere contain aluminum/other metals.
The problem is only going to get worse with the launch of megaconstellations https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2313374120

7 Starlink satellites burned up in the higher atmosphere yesterday.

Unlike what some are saying, these are satellites that were already planned to re-enter ahead of the solar storm and were launched in 2020/2021.

@doc From their own press releases, it's 5 years maximum.

> Atmospheric drag at these altitudes
will deorbit a satellite naturally in 5 years or less

gsuberland, 28 days ago to random

well, I wondered how many Starlink satellites would fall out of orbit after the solar storm, and we have an answer: somewhere between 7 and 13

@gsuberland I don't think that's related?
The ones that have re-entered were already scheduled to be de-orbited ahead of the solar storm.

loved visiting paris and generally loved the metro. but the ticketing experience was beyond awful in several ways. I hope they're fixing some of that before the olympics 😬

@xor Yeah, they are terrible. I’m glad they are fading them out
