@jake4480@c.imJust bought this killer violet vinyl of one of my favorite LPs of 2024 (and my all time favorite dungeon synth record), Warlock Corpse's 'Bloody Tears of the Desert'. Only 200 of these made- if you like dungeon synth at ALL..

@Life_is@no-pony.farmIn Deutschland wurden 2024 677114 Kinder geboren. Die Bundeswehr möchte auf 280000 wehrdienstleistende aufstocken. Der Wehrdienst dauert aber nur 6 Monate. Um also ganzjährig 280000 wehrdienstleistende zu haben müssen 560000 Menschen eines Geburtsjahrgangs Wehrdienst leisten. Wenn alle Männer Wehrdienst leisten, keiner verweigert, keiner ist untauglich, alle haben deutschen pass, keiner leistet als Doppelstaatler im Ausland (Israel, Ukraine) Wehrdienst, dann kann diese Zahl trotzdem nur erre…
@david@boles.xyzConsciousness Explained Away: Daniel Dennett’s Illusionism and the Theory That Spends Its Own Foundation
When Daniel Dennett died on April 19, 2024, at the age of eighty-two, the philosophical world lost one of the last serious defenders of a position so counterintuitive that even sympathetic readers spent decades trying to talk themselves into it.

@cosmos4u@scicomm.xyzAnd here the crappy external camera with the low data rate actually delivered: the #ZodiacalLight pyramid at the beginning of the #SolarEclipse for #ArtemisII - it stayed visible in the live feed for 10 minutes!

This marks a shift from Germany's January 2024 stance, when it backed Israel in the case. Berlin says its decision not to intervene stems from its own ICJ defense in a case accusing it of violating international law by supporting Israel's war in Gaza

@joe@toot.worksI like the idea of a low-cost MacBook, but when you can get a 2024 MacBook Air with an M3 and 16GB of memory for the same money, I don't know why more people don't just do that.
