‘Too greedy’: mass walkout at global science journal of publishing giant Elsevier over ‘unethical’ fees (www.theguardian.com)

The entire academic board of the journal 'Neuroimage', including professors from Oxford University, King’s College London and Cardiff University resigned after Elsevier refused to reduce publication charges. Academics around the world have applauded what many hope is the start of a rebellion against the huge profit margins in...

Hirom,

Lemmy is built upon ActivityPub, which is different from RSS.

IMHO it would make more sense to have a client application that connect to both Lemmy account(s) and RSS feed(s).

This way you could fetch RSS feeds even if the Lemmy server is unavailable, and wouldn't have to re-subsribe to RSS feeds when migrating between Lemmy servers, since subscription would be kept independant.

Hirom,

Might make video games cheaper to produce too. No more script to write for all these NPCs.

Hirom,

What about music radio? This has existed for a long time.

Hirom,

The longer part of the windows install process is not the installation. It’s removing all the pre-installed bloatware, removing or disabling all the telemetry and other undesired features that are on by default.

Hirom,

A protected bicycle lane would be a safer bet.

Hirom,

It's worthwhile research, sure, but as @sexy_peach said it won't help on the short term.

Meanwhile, as long as there's significant uncertainty on the vehicle's ability to understand cyclists' intent, there should be mitigations, like keeping a larger distance from cyclists, or protected bicycle lanes.

Hirom,

I got mixed filling about this. Ads are annoying, but sponsor segment are one of the least-bad ads because they don't require tracking nor individual targeting. These segment target the audience as a whole without knowing anything about individual viewers.

Also more and more podcast offer ad-free feeds to paid subscribers.

Hirom,

Carrying this kind of weapon is illegal in various european country, minus some exception. There's less restrictions on having those at home to defend against attackers.

To allow carrying the gov would need to consider pro and cons. If the restrictions are lifted completely, many with ill intentions would try to abuse from this, and it'd be harder to prosecute gang members carrying weapons. If very strict exception are allowed, very few women would benefit from it.

It'd probably be less risky policy-wise to tell people to take self-defense course that don't involve weapons (eg krav maga, boxing, bodybuilding).

Hirom,

Most veggie steaks and other meat alternative have a scarry ingredient list. They deserve the description of ultra transformed food.

It may be healthier and certainty tastier to use traditional veggie recipes, which can more easily be cooked at home.

The European Space Agency wants to give the moon its own time zone (www.cbc.ca)

For now, a moon mission runs on the time of the country that is operating the spacecraft. European space officials said an internationally accepted lunar time zone would make it easier for everyone, especially as more countries and even private companies aim for the moon and NASA gets set to send astronauts there....

Hirom,

Clocks run faster on the moon than on Earth, gaining about 56 microseconds each day

Sounds like there's going to be leap seconds on the moon too.

Hirom,

That's true, but it would still result in a shift in measured time between the moon and earth.

Hirom,

Either leap seconds or relativistic timezones. I don't know which is worse.
