Decades of very gradual democratic backsliding followed by a more rapid collapse

What a time to be reuploaded in high quality

Yeah, I couldn’t get through it. Even as an audiobook read by Wil Wheaton

This story is about domesticated honeybees, which have been declining for decades due to Colony Collapse Disorder and other stressors. Native North American bees are in their own long-term decline, with 1 in 4 species at risk of extinction. However, domesticated honeybees are tremendously important for the pollination and yield of many crops important to humans, and this population drop, thought to be the largest annual losses seen, should be considered in the context of the longer decline, and the possibility that we could hit a tipping point when pollination, and a crucial pillar of our food system, could fail.

I have offered logins to a couple family and they just say hmm, never heard of it, sounds illegal and don’t use it lol

Yes, it took me a long time to figure it out. Which is why Plex feels comfortable charging for it

Yes, it does introduce insecurity, so not for everyone. I have it behind a domain on cloudflare (let’s encrypt cert) with nginx reverse proxy

I just confirmed it has it. You need to be on the same subnet, which is why VPN won’t work. But then everything shows up as castable

IIRC it has it. Not if you’re behind VPN or a tunnel. Only over HTTPS.

Exactly. The right’s claim that they’re fighting DEI to restore merit is merely a smokescreen. These people believe that low melanin content is a precondition of merit

I hope other things happen to them that I will leave unsaid

As an American, it used to be fossil fuels. I’d go elsewhere and it’d be 3x the price. But lately we seem to be catching up. One thing where we’re still likely cheaper are high-end electronics. At least, it looks like the iPhone is still cheaper in the US than almost anywhere else. I remember living abroad a few years ago, colleagues would ask if I could buy an iPhone or Mac on Christmas break and bring it back to them lol

They put out plenty of content about the US’s flaws and failures

I completely agree. It is likely a constitutional amendment will be needed to institute a wealth tax/ceiling. But it is needed, for national security. The centre cannot hold.

I see their “fuck your feelings” bumper stickers and think, man you worship a freak who shatters at the slightest criticism

Environmental Scientist. As my username suggests, my passion is studying bivalves. My day job involves studying nutrient cycling in San Francisco Bay (where clams come up quite a bit)! Through my work, I have also grown fascinated by phytoplankton

I finally set up Joplin server. It is a revelation after too long using Syncthing to sync databases. I wasn’t able to use Joplin on Android anymore- the sync to file system had gotten too slow. Now everything syncs pretty much instantly!

I usually try a new restaurant alone before taking people there. Lean into it!
