HB is a real American History X kind of town. There are good parts there like the Bolsa Chica wetlands, but there is a real beach nazi contingent there as well

But no comment on whether his dad read it to him when he was a kid

Kind of wild how this guy feels entitled to have people pay him

F-droid is awesome, but I don't think it will ever be mass market

As a scientist, I am not sure this is the case. They have paralyzed science-informed policymaking and are currently tearing apart the university systems in several states. They have kept NSF funding flat for years, eroding American leadership in science. So I am very worried for American science right now.

I remember T-mobile enabled RCS for Samsung's text app, but excluded unlocked devices. I was able to find some dial tone command work-arounds to force it to enable, but eventually some Samsung update took away the ability. But then a few months after that I installed Messages, so now I have it everywhere. Very handy when I'm inside a building and need to text. Doesn't change the fact that I have like 3 regular contacts who actually use Android

Yes, this seems designed to target the broad "who was in this area" warrants. Must have been a big enough headache for them that they came up with this new system. For me, I keep this location on indefinitely. Has been handy for me in a couple situations: I'm a scientist and helped me reconstruct my field work locations when I lost some field notes, and it helped me contact trace when I caught covid!

Yes, they still can build a targeted profile per user, but no longer store a database of who was in an area that the police can issue a broad warrant to find out. So they get to have their cake and eat it too!

The owner of the server I'm on wrote a nice post describing his reasoning https://about.scicomm.xyz/doku.php?id=blog:2023:0625_meta_on_the_fediverse_to_block_or_not_to_block

I had forgotten that the larvae jump. For some reason that makes it so, so much worse to me. If I were to eat an arthropod-originating cheese I would probably prefer to try mite cheese.

Penicillium roqueforti is our friend! Unless it's in grain, then it makes toxic compounds and causes spoilage. So it's our frenemy.

Throwback to Lubalin's cover of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmadzQ1uL0s

I am a blue cheese veteran and I would literally eat a big bite. it's so good. gimme the mold

I feel like it still doesn't make up for their societal cost in terms of lost years of life, increased insurance premiums and pollution

We've seen over and over that Prohibition doesn't work and often backfires, but as someone who lost a father to a stubborn tobacco addiction, I'm in favor of anything to nudge people to quit. Make tobacco absolutely suck to use. Ban flavors. Tax the shit out of it and subsidize nicotine gum+patches. Ban filters, which don't actually make them safer (they actually allow smokers to inhale the contaminants more deeply) and fill our environment with plastic pollution. Get rid of all branding on boxes.

It's an interesting story in itself. I had it in my pocket queue and this development made me go back to revisit it :)

The ruling probably put Reuters employees in India in jeopardy if the article wasn't taken down worldwide.

There are other related sand moles that aren't as rare as this particular species! So assumedly trained on those

Yeah, I use Samsung Internet on my tablet. Firefox on everything else, so I obviously miss the syncing, tab push and access to extensions with my tablet. I even put it up as an Idea on Mozilla Connect, where a lot of people seem to agree, but I don't foresee Firefox ever addressing this. I think they're buried under a mountain of back-end issues.
