A Ukrainian general is predicting bad stuff in Russia. Fascinating. Is this news breaking, or what?

Probably the easiest way to avoid it is to simply rename it to something less scary sounding. Maybe something like Alive Enhanced Rich Content Internet Theory for Human People! See, not a problem now.
Also maybe we should reread Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. It has a storyline about a guy who finds out he is the only actual real person on earth. Everyone else are robots. And he wants to know why.
Anyone played Outer Wilds? (Highly, highly recommended, if not.) When I read this headline I thought, "My God, the Interloper's Ghost Matter came from us!" Of course (if you have any idea what I'm talking about) this is doesn't really fit. Or could it? Still, I thought it anyhow.
The Ice Cube neutrino detector is pretty impressive too, I guess.
Fedilab handles mastodon, pixelfed and peertube in one app. It's the most multifunctional app I know of. Pretty impressive, but it doesn't do lemmy/kbin, or even misskey.

I bought Moon Reader Pro a million years ago cheep on sale, and it has been great. Still love it, but I like to check out open source readers every once in a while.
Lately I have been using Librera FD. This open source version on f-droid unfortunately has the network features (sync/opds) disabled. The play store version has those enabled. The interface is a bit unusual, but it's a powerful and flexible reader.
By crikey, I've been tracking this one all day following its ridiculous chewing sounds. Now I've barely grounded the blighter and it's snoring like all get out! I think we best likely leave this one alone, it's starting to drool.
Anyone know what research the minister is referencing? The academic later quoted said there wasn't much research. I also wonder what was the basis for dropping cursive... The article appears to be just a bunch of cheering with little substance or context.
Personally I just dislike cursive and always have. Other people's cursive writing is a pain in the he ass to read much of the time. The speed benefit is crushed by legibility issues. Doing a lot of genealogy research for example really underscores this, when most documents were hand written in cursive. .Yeah, great I can read cursive, but it is so often tedious and painful to decipher. There is a reason many forms came to say "print clearly". Just my opinion and experience.
Not a super big deal either way, but so far I'm glad my kids didn't have to bother with cursive. Artist, musician and computer programmer. Bilingual. Cursive-free!
The thing that amazes me is that the article says the stuff is at 7 degrees celsius. How much of the stuff does there have to be to be detectable at such a distance, and how can it average out at 7 degrees. Mind boggling stuff.
This article is terrible! Here's another crazy statement from it: "seawater is an almost infinite resource". Reminds me when not so long ago people considered the ocean to be an "almost infinite" supply of fish.
The journal article that this article is talking about is paywalled, so I can't check out the source. It's abstract , however, certainly doesn't use anything like the hyperbolic language of the article linked here. It's in a good journal, so could've been interesting...
From what I'm hearing doomscrolling is quite difficult to achieve on mastodon. People are mostly horribly nice and supportive and stuff. And there's no cool vampire algorithm exploiting heightened emotions. But where there's a will, there's a way! You can do it. Choose your doom-y hashtags carefully, my friend! We believe in you.
