“Waymo reports that Waymo cars are the best”

Another alternative on the fediverse is NeoDB. I’m trying that one out for the time being. Its interface is pretty barebones and could use some work, but it’s nice because you can track more than books.

Some species of flies and mosquitoes are also pollinators. One cute example of pollinating flies are the Bombyliidae. Mosquito larvae are also important food sources for aquatic and semi-aquatic species like frogs and fish.

Haha there’s a reason why the Xenomorph from Alien is in part inspired by parasitoid wasps.

If you study wasps, you’ll find that they very frequently have odd symbioses from species to species, most often as parasites/parasitoids or hyperparasites. Some even have symbiotic relationships with viruses that assist them in their parasitism - ichneumon and braconid wasps have symbiotic viruses called polydnaviruses.

If you wanna learn about some more wasp pollination, look up fig wasps (Agaonidae). Wasps are legitimately one of the coolest groups of animals.

Interlibrary Loan isn’t available everywhere (at least back when I used to work at a library ~10 years ago it wasn’t). If it is, it often has an associated fee (usually at least shipping fees, sometimes an additional service fee). I think the common exception to that is public university libraries.

But I can’t pirate copyrighted materials to “train” my own real intelligence.

I think many of us don’t realize that there’s a better option. As in, this is just the way it is. Many who do learn there are alternatives then fall to propaganda about how the alternatives are worse or communist, etc.

It stems back to a PR from the SerenityOS project where someone changed a “he” to a “they” in the documentation and the PR was declined for “personal politics”

Here’s an article about it: https://hyperborea.org/reviews/software/ladybird-inclusivity/

It does leave out this response by Kling on Twitter:

Honey can technically expire. If it crystalizes, some portions of it can become more diluted, leading to a low enough osmotic pressure for bacteria and fungi to exist. If you do buy in bulk, check your local universities. One in my area does honeybee research and sells bulk honey from their bee lab at cheaper prices than any of the private beekeepers. I use it to make mead.

Maybe Revolt or Matrix?

bee populations are declining rapidly due to habitat loss, pesticides, parasites, and climate change.

Not sure why habitat loss is listed since honeybees are invasive in the U.S. We should be focusing harder on saving native pollinators.

Can your toaster produce fascist propaganda?

Mozilla says that “there are a number of places where we collect and share some data with our partners” so that Firefox can be “commercially viable,” but it adds that it spells those out in its privacy notice and works to strip data of potentially identifying information or share it in aggregate.

Sounds like they’ve already been selling (or trading) data and this whole debacle is a way to retroactively cover their asses.

What truly makes a difference for users is your attention to the product and their needs.

This is the most important thing here. Additional thing to consider that in my experience devs regularly overlook: how easy is it to implement and support?

Yeah, I play a lot of emulated retro games on my deck. I used Emudeck to get set up but I’ve heard Retrodeck is another good option. It works very well for me.

Considering I have a fiancée, never.
