Aren’t school times early because jobs start early and parents want their kids in childcare at that time? If the parents didn’t want it this way, I don’t think the schools would do it.

Sticky trick: new glue spray kills plant pests without chemicals (www.theguardian.com)

The insect glue, produced from edible oils, was inspired by plants such as sundews that use the strategy to capture their prey. A key advantage of physical pesticides over toxic pesticides is that pests are highly unlikely to evolve resistance, as this would require them to develop much larger and stronger bodies, while bigger...

There are plenty of ways we shorten a specific phrase that renders it general but still understand it as the specific version.

The word “chemicals” is rarely misunderstood when used this way. Colloquially, many/most people mean “harmful chemicals” when they say it.

Is there room for misunderstanding? Yes. Is that a problem? Not any bigger than most problems with using spoken/written language to communicate.

You don’t come off as wise when you point this inaccuracy out, and It doesn’t invalidate the whole article.

Maybe the warping of space-time by matter also warps the laws of physics, so they’re not constant, but their distortion is?

Find out what each person wants that makes them feel most appreciated:

  • praise them (for kids praise things they can control like effort rather than attributes like being smart)
  • spend time where they are the focus of your attention
  • give hugs, cuddles, high fives, tickles, etc.
  • do things for them
  • give them gifts

Are you saying they’re too dumb to overcome those challenges?

I do this too, but I make sure one side is just a thin layer and the other side is the actual peanut butter layer.

Opts out?

Look, if we’re going to have draconian copyright laws, then we should at least be able to count on works being used without permission for AI to be verboten like all the other uses.

It doesn’t have a name yet, but it’s described on Gilbert’s Terrible Toybox website as “classic Zelda meets Diablo meets Thimbleweed Park.”

Gilbert’s been posting about his new game on Mastodon (via Time Extension) since early 2024, but it’s gone largely unnoticed until just recently. In February, he shared an image of a whiteboard rough-out of the opening area and quests, and a little bit of stats work; from there, he’s posted a few more in-progress images, along with some brief thoughts about his process.

Mouse "back" and "forward" buttons not working

Hi, I just started using Logseq via the Mac desktop app. My Mouse is a Logi M720 Triathlon with thumb buttons set to default settings with Forward (Forward button) and Back (Back button). Those work just fine everywhere. IDEs, text editors, Obsidian, browsers etc. But in Logseq, the buttons do nothing and it kinda breaks my flow...

Can you bind keyboard shortcuts to those buttons for that specific software?

‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services (www.theguardian.com)

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...

The EFF’s concept was from the Napster days, but I think this was written later on.

What are the most private social media platforms?

I’ve been feeling uneasy about the privacy implications of using Lemmy and similar platforms. The ability for anyone to view your entire posting history feels to me like publicly sharing my browser history. In contrast, most other social media platforms allow you to limit your feed visibility to just friends or followers....
