I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

I completely missed that, nice catch 😄


Does the amount of water affect the rate of growth, or is it a timing thing?
Am I absorbing water like a sponge, where I’d grow much faster in a pool vs. the rain
Or is it a reaction to any prolonged contact with water
If you add three back ticks (```) to the beginning and end of the list, it will format as a code block instead of a bunch of links

Cool!
Talks on the U.K. joining the SAFE fund ended without agreement last week. Negotiations foundered over money, with Europe demanding more for Britain’s participation than the U.K. was willing to pay.
Well that’s interesting


I guess everyone just browses all anyway, for now. So they don’t want things removed that have comments regardless of where it’s posted.
Yea I’ve seen this as well. I think part of the problem is a lack of an automod, since rule breaking content sticks around for hours accumulating comments before a mod sees it. Users are good about reporting spam, since it’s very obvious, but not everyone is familiar enough with community rules to report based on those.
It seems to be one person that’s doing it manually across a number of communities?


I think the website is old, and the blurry bits were a prediction
The new cycle is expected to start late in 2019 or in 2020, with solar maximum to be reached between 2023 and 2026 and the maximum (smoothed) sunspot number in the 95 to 130 range.
A different color and a legend would have been nicer imo


Appreciate the write-up, thanks!
I found this diagram, and this should mean that the levels will drop by around 2030?



Adjective-Noun- is the usual format for those. This looks different, like someone put in a list of wholesome / floral / nature-y terms into the name generator, in order to have wholesome looking accounts


They must have been editing the article back and forth. I also only saw “WebRender Layer Compositor”, but it’s organized nicely now


IMO vaccine and evolutionary biology is very nuanced, and depends a lot on the individual genetics, type of pathogen, type of vaccine, etc. The net result from people dying off might be moot, and could even be harmful.
Immune science is often taught as an arms race, but that model tends to imply that both sides are constantly gaining beneficial traits. That’s true in some cases, like the fever response, which is a beneficial trait we gained at some point, and it continues to be useful.
Meanwhile, other phenotypes are very context dependent for whether they are helpful or harmful. HLA (human leukocyte antigen) for example, that’s how our T-cells identify between ‘self’ and ‘foreign’ particles. We rely on the tremendous diversity of HLA alleles in the human population in order to survive new diseases. Someone’s HLA alleles can be a poor match for a current disease, but very helpful for a future disease. Having them die off now would be a bad thing. Similarly, someone with an HLA combination that makes them more effective against a current disease, may be ineffective against a future disease. Another simpler one is the ABO blood types, where different pathogens (ex. malaria, cholera, smallpox) are better/worse at infecting cells with certain blood types, evidenced by the different proportions of blood types in regions endemic to such diseases.
Evolution is messy, and the evolution of the immune system is messier still. Even if we only look at it from a simplified Darwinian evolution perspective, having genetic diversity might be more important than any shedding of ‘weaker’ alleles from people dying off because their natural immunity couldn’t handle a particular infection.


I think you replied to the wrong comment


You mentioned being frustrated at Plausible. What did you not like about it?
I haven’t tried Plausible, but it seemed popular


Sounds like they joined a large group chat as a member
The FBI, the documents show, gained access to conversations in a “courtwatch” Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants’ due process rights at those courts.
Now we need a windows compatibility program called “com-plain”
Simplified communication, components, compatibility, whatever makes the backronym work


The articles I’ve seen say that it was for the past 10 years of work, some amount of which was unpaid

With the revamp, Mastodon has the potential to expand its business, product, and mission, without being dependent on a single person’s leadership. It will also give Rochko a break, as he’s been singularly focused on Mastodon for the past 10 years.
Going forward, Rochko will continue contributing to Mastodon as an adviser. He has also been compensated with a one-time payment of €1 million, given that he took less than a fair market salary over the years while building Mastodon.
I don’t have insight into the decision making process that went into deciding on that amount, maybe it’s less than what he should have been compensated for, maybe it’s more. But it sounds like they reached that decision amicably


Hi Sarah,
Sorry for the delay in getting to this. We really appreciate the feedback! We’re currently working on an update to our site, and will continue to incorporate feedback over time.
We’ve iterated over these pages a few times, and while there is definitely more that we can do to improve it, I feel that we need a few different guides for each target demographic or use case. Ideally, someone will find their way to the appropriate resource, depending on the level of detail or transparency that they are looking for. The goal of the two guide pages above were mainly to explain what it is that our non-profit is doing, and how it differs from traditional social media. A lot of alternative social media platforms advertise transparency and a positive user experience, and so the guide pages above were intended for people who want an explanation on how the Fediverse can actually deliver on those promises.
Right now, the page we have for users that simply want to sign up for a platform is here: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/fedecan/our-platforms
We can certainly improve the flow for users that want to get to that page, and the page itself. We haven’t prioritized that aspect, since we figured that users who are learning about one of the platforms might be going to it directly, instead of through our non-profit’s site.
Would you have some suggestions on what a page like that should include, or what you would like to see in the guides instead?
I have students who can help you with this stuff for free. If you’re interested, DM me.
We’d love the help and feedback, especially if it’s something that would complement their studies! Thank you for offering :)












Trakt was popular in the past, and has integrations with Jellyfin, although some people may have left after their pricing/feature changes earlier this year.
