@DejahEntendu @bookstodon the new one in the series is available for pre-order. release Nov 14 #murderbot #MarthaWells #SystemCollapse

@shauna not knowing what kind of problems that package is causing, it's hard to say, but I'd try to work with the maintainers of that package so it's more well-behaved.

If the maintainers aren't interested in that, you could consider forking...but that has a whole other set of problems. I've done it for small libraries, but the nature of your initial problem makes me think that's not your case.

I'm always struck by how uncanny the images from space missions can look: the precision of the movements and the flatness of some textures

I think part of the reason I favor integrative models in biology is that the way I've learned to understand complex things is through syntactically complex linked structures like program code that, in a (somewhat loose) sense, recapitulate the structure of what they describe. The way I've learned biology up to this point is by linking together, in my head, a variety of narrative descriptions and figures that I have to integrate in a loosely structured manner. An integrated, multi-level model (a schema, perhaps) seems like an effective alternative, though it may ultimately only be legible to the person who creates it.

@Sheril

for those interested, here's where I first heard about this: https://maximumfun.org/episodes/sawbones/how-horseshoe-crabs-probably-saved-your-life/

@Sheril It's unsustainable because their population is in decline, not because the practice significantly contributes to that decline, correct? My understanding is that typically the animals recover from the bloodletting and are released afterwards.

this is now my #Windows hate-thread. welcome in.

I *hate* how #Microsoft actively coddles its users. They even redirect away from features explicitly asked for. It's so stupide.
