Seeing fewer fireflies this year? Here’s why, and how you can help.
  • I often see fireflies hanging out on my dendrobiums, as well as wasps and spiders. The shape of the plant and stiffness of the leaves seem appealing to insects.

  • DOJ Describes Plan To Denaturalize Citizens on Scale That Has Never Been Tried
  • My Republican coworkers thought Trump was a clown and a joke who would never be elected, then after he won, it was "he's not that bad", and "people are too hard on him".

  • [OC] What People Think Privacy/Security Is
  • Hopefully you don't log in or give personal info to every website you use. Hiding your IP is still more private than not hiding it.

  • Is the Trinity Desktop Environment Secure?
  • It depends on what file manager you use. In many, you can turn off thumbnail generation if you believe this might happen to you.

  • Calibre 8.6 released
  • I agree. I've been using it for years, since I moved away from Kindle. I only wish it would support socks5 proxy so I could use Tor for metadata downloads from Google or Amazon.

  • Am I considered a deep sleeper or just a "normal" one?
  • I slept through my neighbor shooting his wife. :(

  • ‘Could become a death spiral’: scientists discover what’s driving record die-offs of US honeybees
  • Wild ginger is a great ground cover, too. Stays short naturally, feels good to step on, doesn't need much water.

  • Meet Andrew Yang, Who Is Keen to Help Musk's America Party
  • I've never heard of the Forward Party before, but it sounds a lot like the No Labels party (which I thought was linked to Mitch McConnell, but apparently there was a fake website put up around the time of the election that tried to discredit them by making them look Republican-aligned, so maybe that's where I read that?)

  • Fairytale Forest
  • Very beautiful. I'd like to live here.

  • Bigger crops, fewer nutrients: The hidden cost of climate change
  • I would much prefer smaller, better-tasting, more nutritionally beneficial crops. My bf and I want to start growing our own at some point.

  • What's growing on, Beehaw?
  • Snap peas are so good. I spread a bunch of mixed wildflower seeds in the spring for the birds and insects, and they're growing well, along with some ferns and roses, but I'm not sure what most of them are. My bf doesn't like them in our planter box because they look "unkempt", but it's a little too late to mention that now.

  • Advocates Say Leaked Farm Bureau Memo Promotes Racist Science
  • It sounds like what they're saying is that people from hot areas tend to be relatively comfortable in the heat, which IME, as someone from a hot place, does tend to be true. I used to work outdoors 16 hours a day with a 120 heat index. Now I live in a temperate area, and I see everyone wearing shorts and complaining about the heat when I'm still in jeans and a t-shirt and feel pleasantly warm.

  • First in the Nation Ban on Plastic Microbeads in Personal Products Passes California Senate Committee
  • I've got some silicone straws and haven't had that problem, although their softness makes them awkward to push in a plastic drink lid.

  • The Open-Source Software Saving the Internet From AI Bot Scrapers
  • I agree. When I run into a page that demands I turn on Javascript for whatever purpose, I usually just leave. I wish there was some way to just not even see links to sites that require this.

  • systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated success
  • I've never used anything but systemd. I feel fine about it, but I think I'd feel the same way about not using it.

  • Firefox is fine. The people running it are not
  • If a site I have to use doesn't work for no apparent reason, I e-mail the company's Support. Let them sort it out, or provide another way I can do what I'm trying to do. Personally, I think a lot of the problems are from more and more websites integrating privacy-invading "features", and FF interfering with their operation.
