Patreon won't be paying the 30% Apple tax. Creators who handed their revenue collection to Patreon will.
Oops. Whoever could have known that relinquishing control over your revenue to a disinterested third party would come and bite you?

Sen sijaan, että vääntelemme käsiämme ja voihkimme, kuinka EU:sta on kehittymässä "tekoälyn takapajula", entäpä jos kehitys onkin, että USA:sta ja Kiinasta on kehittymässä tuhoisien algoritmien saastuttamia, varastetun henkilötiedon slummeja ja meillä regulaatio suojelee digitaalista ympäristöämme? Mitä meidän silloin kannattaisi tehdä?

Even small effects can be huge discoveries. It's obviously well known that electric current breaks water to component atoms, but to have that current available 5km down on the seafloor well below where sunlight penetrates is very surprising. It can't be a chemical reaction either, because the rocks' chemistry would have worn down over millennia. A heat related conversion? Huge in any event.

So curious that these metallic nodules on the deep sea floor can break water into oxygen and hydrogen, never mind at such high volumes. Where does the energy come from?

It's the "no consequence" part that's bothersome for the Ariane 6. Held to a different standard.
"In a November 2021 post, ArianeGroup stated that an example of APU’s versatility was “its ability to de-orbit the stage at the end of a mission in accordance with European space law by powering it towards Earth, so that it burns up on atmospheric entry.” Despite this, Sion did not appear to think that the failure to deorbit the mission’s upper stage was all that significant."

"Just before a mission’s two-hour mark, it became clear that the rocket’s upper stage had deviated from its planned mission profile, failing to raise its altitude. The ESA broadcast commentators confirmed the deviation, citing an issue with the second Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) power-up.
[..]
Two hours and fifty minutes into the flight, ESA concluded its mission broadcast with it clear that a final deorbit burn had not been succesfully completed."

Not onlu are the orcs still gullible enough to think they're "defeding motherland", they're also stupid enough to think they haven't been sent to die with the full knowledg of their high commmand and dictator. So, although they complain, they go and die - without ever understanding they're dying for no cause.
The lucky few get captured instead - lucky, because Ukraine doesn't send them to die after capture.

Non-representational democracy is such a weird concept.
UK's Labour essentially maintained their voters, but gained over 100% more parliament seats. LibDem also gained nearly no voters, but octupled their seats to be the major winners of the election. Tories lost half the voters and 68% of their seats, while SNP lost one third of the votes for -80% of their seats. For each of the 4 seats Reform gained, a million voters cast their vote for the party, a 40x difference to Labour.

My earlier Instagram imports open without issues without login. Perhaps a CDN issue..

Ah, you mean the import marked the images as unlisted instead of public?
