Here's a weird one.

Pretty cool mediawiki gallery page from biophysicist Jane Richardson (known for Richardson diagrams)

More on her user page, including some photographs of cultural sites and nature.

Maybe I'm biased by my young body and tolerance to sweets, but harvesting *sugar* to make a no-calorie sweetener just sounds hella stupid.

It seems pretty obvious from a strategic standpoint that other countries and alliances would want this, but I didn't know there were multiple GPSes

Seems they're all pretty new though compared to GPS

For the longest time I didn't realize the qoto.org favicon is a bubbling flask. My tabs have a dark background so it just looks like some blob with little sprites dancing above it.

Some interesting apps in virtual conferences. Esp. with the pandemic, ppl have tried hosting meetings in video games (animal crossing and even red dead redemption, apparently), and second life for concerts and meetups has long been a thing, but obviously those solutions leave a lot to be desired for moderation, and for video, file, and screen sharing.
Having tried remo, I think the biggest mismatch vs real life is how awkward it is to be "at" some place and just listening in - coupled with the artificial scarcity of seats at a table, I start to feel like I'm taking up a seat someone else with more to say could be sitting at.

How is it that the #archlinux wiki became the de facto place for so much generic (e.g., XDG, X11) desktop configuration help?

Dang, but I can really use this: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree
We generally have long-lived support branches in our #git repos that get worked on alongside main development. I had made do with alternately checking out support/develop or maintaining completely separate clones, but worktrees could make for a cleaner workflow.

I didn't know #git had this feature.. The example of attaching a "tested by" note is cool -- we could probably use this to attach summary test results and CI build statuses.

Nice. Looks like it's easier to do recursive queries in #SQLite (e.g., for graphs). I remember this was a pain-point for me a few years ago.
