Capturing a great, complete image of the Veil Nebula complex is my one mission for this winter. This is a single 5 minute sub of the O-iii emissions of the West Veil Nebula. I'm going to need at least 20 hours of this, and another 30+ hours of various other emissions and colour bands...

There are at least THREE ironies in this news feed snippet. AI writing about AI. AI saying what it's written may not be factual and you shouldn't trust it. And then AI mentioning human error in the context of air travel like it's not heard of decades of research on this topic.

@nytguildtech.bsky.social Hey folks Can you help me understand why your games app, when I only played it for 20 minutes yesterday morning, continues to run in the background and use 10% of my total battery? As a percentage of my battery use, it's half the combined total of all apps. Pls help!

Hands up if you're actually trying to build small, discrete, cellularized services because you understand that "globally scalable multi region" backed by an overly complex data management strategy IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS YOU CAN DO. Stop building big distributed systems when you can avoid them.

Also this bucket is pretty good. I get it regularly. Along with the 1.25kg bucket of potatoes. This is all a lie. I get multiple.

In today's Strands you can spell MONORAIL two ways, and neither of them are a correct answer.

I had to mute a load of words. It's cleaned things up here SO much. I still get a little bit that trickles through but it's low enough to provide a useful signal and not overwhelm me.
