As long as they don't do away with One-Hand operation, I'll be ok. :)

Sorry, Politico is a US-focused publication. So they focused on Americans, but you're right that it has global implications

Yeah, these services don't have to add much friction to trap vulnerable folks like the elderly. Obscure the cancel button under a couple menu levels and dark patterns and they have people trapped for life. It can be very insidious

Sigh, I wish there was a better repost notification. Maybe the third party app I use is the issue

It is insanely petty. Perhaps they don't want people reverse engineering their APIs, but all their competitors and threat actors likely do it, just not on a public repo.

claps valves sagely

Hard to say without knowing its composition. If rich in ammonium, the nitrification (oxidation to nitrate) might lead to lower alkalinity. If rich in nitrate, it might help alkalinity, but only if there's some lower oxygen area of the tank like a bank of sediment, where denitrification can happen

You might find it hard in a closed system to maintain the alkalinity needed for them to thrive long-term! Source: I study bivalves

Yes, it can. It can clog their gills, making their feeding less efficient, or interfere with their reproduction through chemicals that leach from the plastic particles. Source: I study bivalves

They are confirmed to be able to gather nano-plastics as larvae, and microplastic as adults, though no studies have looked at nanoscale particles in adult oysters from what I could find. They may ingest the plastic or package it up in mucus to expel as "pseudofeces", trapping the plastic particles in the sediment. Source: I study bivalves

It's generally seen as pretty hard to maintain filter-feeding bivalves long-term in an aquarium tank, in terms of diet (diverse phytoplankton), pH/alkalinity, and substrate (many are pretty specific in terms of conditions in which they burrow). You might have better luck with Corbicula sp. ("Asian clams") which are quite generalist in their food, even being able to deposit feed by scraping the substrate. They are however quite invasive, so please don't release them into the wild! Oysters on the other hand are usually found in mostly brackish or fully marine conditions, and would likely not be able to thrive long-term in fully fresh water. Usually they can only survive short bouts of freshening. Source: I study clams

But mostly I've started just monitoring dozens of RSS feeds with the Feeder RSS app (android)

I found it worked pretty well, seemed to understand my interests pretty well after a couple days, when I usually don't feel that way, having tried many many similar apps. The chrome web view wasn't ideal, but I use pihole which helped :)

Unfortunately, many people don't consider them :( Getting a vaccine is not just for ourselves. It's an investment in civilization.

Yes, the immunocompromised people are relying on the herd for protection, and the morons are letting them down

I use it for: general search queries, navigating to a place, turning on lights, setting timers, setting alarms, checking the weather, playing music, setting an appointment, setting reminders (though I prefer Todoist for this), listening to the NPR update.

Of the list of discontinued features here, I'll actually miss driving mode, which I found handy to reduce my distraction on the road by reading notifications to me, allowing me to open Pocket Casts or Libby in a couple clicks, etc. I also used the feature occasionally to resume audiobooks from Play Books where I left off.

They might have laid off or reassigned people tasked with maintaining these features

If only they were islands to themselves and didn't take innocent people down with them in pursuit of their Darwin Awards

The anti-vaccine movement has been fighting their pro-disease fight for decades now
