Welcome to September! 🍂
​A fresh month, a new chapter, and the perfect excuse for a clean slate. May this month bring crisp autumn energy, steady focus, and good moments ahead.
​Happy new month, everyone! ✨

Google's plan to block unverified apps is a 'rug pull' on the 3 billion people who chose Android for its openness. Don't let them turn your phone into a walled garden. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social #KeepAndroidOpen keepandroidopen.org
Keep Android Open
Your phone is about to stop being yours. In 2027, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

Does this change my imaginary Erdos number to a complex number?

Title image of the comic "The music of the Spheres" by Dr. Terence Tao and Zach Weinersmith. First 2 panels of the comic "The music of the Spheres." A man is narrating the comic, he is the comic representation of the quoted author, Dr. Terence Tao. He says "When I tell people at parties that I'm a mathematician, there's often an awkward pause in the conversation, or the obligatory..." A tall character next to him chimes in "Oh, I was sooooo bad at Math in school!" In the second panel, the narrator continues "though occasionally, you run into a math and science enthusiast who wants to discuss a recent development they heard in the news..." The narrator looks deeply touched, as a young woman is talking to him, she is saying : "oh my gosh, my friends and I cannot stop talking about reconstructing cryptographic protocols from quantum principles and... Do you want to move this conversation to a whiteboard?" Panels 3 to 6 of the comic "The music of the Spheres." The narrator is putting a reassuring hand on a sad man's shoulder. The narration reads "...or someone who actually had a good experience in their math classes and was somewhat wistful about not pursuing it." The saddened man says "I'll always think of Hadwiger's graph theory conjecture as... the one who got away." In the next panels, the narrator states "those are good moments. But, in general, the public have very little idea what mathematics is, and what mathematicians actually do. Popular culture gives us some caricature portrayals of mathematicians" Panels 7 and 8 of the comic "The music of the Spheres." Both panels show a caricature of a mathematicians from pop culture. The first is a tortured genius, represented by a woman holding a piece of chalk saying "I cannot know love, but by god I *will* know if every polyomino with an area divisible by six can tile and hexagon!" The narration specifies that "torturedness rates among mathematicians are, in fact, average." The second example is the savant with strange mental powers, represented by a man surrounded by equations that obscure his vision. The narration specifies that "if you see equations floating before your eyes, please consult an ophthalmologist."

Is it true that AI companies are acquiring rare books, scanning them, and then destroying them? Is the story in the book Fahrenheit 451 about to become reality? 🥲

Scavengers Reign is pretty sick! Anyone who loves sci-fi series needs to watch it. It’s an animated show, but it’s super cool and the ambience is so good. It feels heavily inspired by the solarpunk concept, which makes it absolutely fascinating. #solarpunk #tvseries #filmsky

Currently watching Dark Matter—what a well-written sci-fi series. Beyond shifting realities, it hits hard: no matter the reality, you are still the story you’ve written. Cherish your loved ones before regret sets in. Spread love while you can.✨

Unbelievable scientists do it again…. mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer shows remarkable potential in clinical trials. Let’s hope this is a big win.. one of my best friends died of pancreatic cancer… science & vaccines save lives and expand human life expectancy

Devastated we’re not getting Scavengers Reign Season 2. The creators poured so much heart and pure imagination into this world, only to be sidelined by corporate apathy.
​Animation deserves so much better. 🚀🍂

While Bluesky’s numbers are down, those who stuck around are committed. Its smaller community remains relatively active, with a stickiness rate (the ratio of daily to monthly active users) of roughly 29% in June, about the same as Threads.

If you are worried about the #ESAEuclid satellite losing power during the upcoming #solareclipse, worry no more: all telescopes at Lagrange Point 2 (#Euclid and #JWST, formerly also #ESAGaia) have orbits designed to be permanently free of solar eclipses.
