Key features that make a planet amenable to life, at least life as earthlings know it:
It should be rocky, be at the right temperature for liquid water to exist and have an atmosphere.
On Thursday, a team of astronomers announced that it had identified a world with all three traits.
“At this point, we have absolutely no evidence for life on the planet,”
said Collin Cherubim, a planetary scientist who recently earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University.

Les Ladazz 1989-1993 (2022)
Les Ladazz was a French garage punk/DIY band from Strasbourg, active from 1989 to 1993. This is pretty much all I can find about this band. Never heard of them til a friend played this on his show. They have a familiar sound with some unique quirks.
This retrospective album features a rotation of singers and musicians over the band’s lifetime and was released only on Bandcamp.

It’s really remarkable how artfully Apple has managed their many major system changes. 68k->PPC,
OS9->OSX, x86->ARM.
I mean, consider the Finder. It was a critical piece of OS9 and prior systems. It was intrinsic to the OS. It is now pretty much just another app, albeit one with a lot of features that really drive other software.
Bah! I’m going back to Mona 6, at least for a while.
Ideally, I’d like a full-featured Masto client that’s interoperable across OSX/iOS/iPadOS, and that doesn’t charge a subscription.
Mona 6 sorta gave me that, but has quirks I didn’t like—quirks I’d hoped would be fixed in the next version. But version 7 went subscription-model, and I’ll be damned if I pay to rent features I’ve already bought outright in version 6. Fuck that. (1/2)

I wish #mypy would slow down with adding new features to mypyc, and instead focused on fixing the train wreck that mypyc is right now (since 2023 at least).

• New photo styles
• "Smart focus tracking" & "cinematic mode effects" on front/main cams
• Apple reference image
