do you have the reference for that one? I'd be interested in reading it.

The article has comments on pubpeer (below) and comments on the pre-print page. https://pubpeer.com/publications/973ABFB81F504E8CB1B50E941CF...

The gist of several comments is that the paper does not actually demonstrate an accelerated global warming, but instead an acceleration of anthropogenic global warming, when removing the influence of several natural factors. To be clear, they are not discussing the fact that there is global warming, just saying that currently, we cannot say that global warming has been getting faster after 2010 with statistical certainty.

My default is ecosia and below sponsored links there is only the github and pages talking about the thing, no official or unofficial page. I guess that's better?

It gives two sponsored links to openclaw things, so no fake either (presumably, I don't know what they are).

(For the record, that issue has now been fixed by the dev)

maybe it could

I've tried out hys recently (discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46293564). It's been pretty nice, though new, I hit a bug where the feed list disappeared. There are a couple others mentioned in the thread, https://newsboat.org/ seems mature.

Capable doesn't mean capable of office work though, I could see someone with a language disorder doing electronics and have trouble with words, not numbers. Or someone who has trouble with written words specifically doing most of their learning with classes and videos.

> I left them exposed for 30 minutes. This is a ridiculous amount of time to leave agar plates open for, since usually you’d only open them for a few seconds.

It's actually really common to let them exposed that long. Not when using them, but to make them: once the agar medium is melted and poured in the petri dishes, closing the lid during cooling causes condensation. Having the petri dish full of water when using it is more difficult and annoying, so it's better to let them cool down with the lid open (a space-efficient way to do so is to have a pyramid of plates where each lid rests on two plates and can support one)

Also, two contaminations out of 4 plates sounds really really bad, but then the blog doesn't say how the agar plates were prepared (how many plates without exposures were contaminated?) and how long they were incubated (sometimes something starts growing after a week or two, if you're culturing a fast-growing bacteria then it's mostly irrelevant).

for what it's worth, my ophthalmologist recommended I use light mode only, with reduced blue and red (because red light actually activates the blue cones too apparently)

Then my screen time started affecting my sleep so I still use dark mode at night

But anyways all software should be configurable and follow the parent software (browser, OS) by default, css even allows for that now. There is even a "prefers-contrast" property in order to design for people who need high contrast stuff.
