Yeah, I don't see the point. However in the case of George Floyd having people record video / audio proved very useful. But that is different.
"Slow uptake of ad-supported offering", now why isn't that surprising, ads are a pain, they wreck continuity etc. I prefer to watch DVDs or on non commercial channels, I can watch a whole film without interruption.
One thing about ad breaks though fo longer films it does give a chance to refill drinks, grab more snacks or have a bathroom break.
Seems normal to do that now,

It's kinda weird when 8 out of 10 people watching the fireworks are using their phones to record it. It feels so surreal seeing them recording the fireworks instead of enjoying the moment.
Great stuff, some really nice developments coming.

A NASA science instrument in orbit will form the backbone of a new initiative to survey methane emissions from landfills in a new nonprofit project to track the greenhouse gas.
The new project, led by the nonprofit group Carbon Mapper, will use data collected from the International Space Station by NASA's EMIT to track methane, which according to NASA is the source of around a quarter to a third of human-driven global warming.

@zleap @TheGuardian_uk peer pressure is especially acute in this age range. I think it starts with better education in both homes & schools, and encouraging diversity in appearance and preferences.
I wonder if these issues with how one looks exist in naturist / nudist communities?
The same goes for sexualising any gender, is this a problem is countries where nudity is seen as normal / acceptable rather than sexual as it is in say the UK.

IIRC darkstar was the original hostname on systems running Slackware.

Fully agree. Linraries are a grate place to meet with friends, give / receive advice, read, study, catch up with the news, and learn new skills, all under one roof they are a social asset.
I run a code club and STEM group at my local library, people don't seem to appreciate what they have locally until it is gone.
Congrats, wishing you a sober 2023. Keep up the good work.

So, to my fellow #Scots, #Political #Activists and #Science enthusiasts -
I have a wee big #announcement 🥳
I've created a wee Science & Politics #website designed for highlighting the #connection between the two with a series of #policy proposals, #blogs and #articles
It's still under construction, but you can sign up to the mailing list for #email updates and articles!

I'd appreciate it if you could reblog/boost if you're interested! #science #scotland
Agreed, How about Alex Ferguson, but also Doddie Weir which I know little about, however he was well respected. Deserves to have his name remembered.
