“Tech isn’t political”
The Nazis in tech are, very vocally. That’s why if you have any sort of following in tech on social media you should vocally call them out and use your voice to denounce these absolute garbage people.
Because if you don’t, you’re quietly let them take away what you love.

Symmetry of graphs and perfect state transfer in Grover walks
We study relationships between symmetry of graphs and perfect state transfer in Grover walks. Symmetry of graphs mathematically refers to automorphisms of graphs. When perfect state transfer occurs between two vertices, the following two statements hold. One is that automorphisms preserve the occurrence of perfect state transfer. The other is that the stabilizer subgroups of the automorphism groups with respect to those two vertices coincide. Using these results, we completely characterize circ…

The LOFAR-eFEDS survey: The incidence of radio and X-ray AGN and the disk-jet connection
Radio jets are present in a diverse sample of AGN. However, the mechanisms of jet powering are not fully understood, and it is yet unclear to what extent they obey mass-invariant scaling relations, similar to those found for the triggering and fuelling of X-ray selected AGN. We study the incidence of eROSITA/eFEDS X-ray and LOFAR radio AGN as a function of several stellar mass normalised AGN power indicators. A new sample of radio AGN from the LOFAR-eFEDS survey is defined and we publicly relea…

I just discovered that one can register to vote when filing the California tax forms.
California has a qualitatively different voting policy than those retrograde states. Here one can vote during a period of weeks, postage is free on mail ballots, you can register and vote (provisionally) at the same time, you can drop a ballot at any precinct in the state, there are mobile voting centers that will come to you, and there is a state law that promotes voting by every person who is eligi…

Myanmar: Many want to escape compulsory military service and flee to Thailand
Ever since Myanmar's military announced it is implementing conscription to fill its ranks, Thwel sees very few options. The 25-year-old schoolteacher in Myanmar’s southern Mon state believes she must flee the country or face fatal consequences. She's a supporter of the Civil Disobedience Movement, which carries out nonviolent resistance to military rule. Crowds of people have thronged to get passports and visas to neighboring Thailand in the two weeks since the government activated a law maki…

Über die von der EU verpflichtete Browser-Auswahl von iOS 17.4 habe ich über die Tage wieder #Firefox für iOS ausprobiert:
Ohne die fehlenden Browser-Add-Ons v.a. für Ad-Blocker und WebKit statt Gecko als Engine ist das nutzlos für mich. Das liegt aber mehr an Apple als an Mozilla.
Als die App mich um eine Rezension gebeten hat, habe ich das dort so geschrieben.
Darauf kam eine E-…
