Also is the tree the negative space or is the sky? Your pic swings back and forth for me

Love it. I could spend hours watching the sky through this tree

I'll save you the skimming. He took packs of trading cards and taco seasoning packets to the self checkout, but only paid for the seasoning packets.

Cicada wasps are a cicada predator. In a totally normal wasp behavior they paralyze a cicada and leave it for their larva to eat.

There are 2 Shatner episodes. One where he is an actor being blackmailed and one where he is a rightwing radio host.

I thought the same thing. It is called winter.

This is interesting because CPR/first aid classes specifically teach (taught) that back blows are harmful and cause obstructions to get lodged lower in the airway except for very young people who you can turn upsidedownish. Time to rethink. Love it!

Tell me you don't communicate science often without saying it. Know the audience is rule 1.

But ok, 'tell' is useful anthropormophism to get an idea across. Sensing though? In what way is reacting to a stimuli not sensing? It is the word scientific papers use. What would you say instead?

A little, the stretching house plant demonstrates how plants can sense the direction light is coming from. They can also sense qualities of light. They can tell if light is filtered through other leaves, for instance. I would speculate that refected light also has a unique color (wavelength) distribution that a plant could sense and respond to

TIL what a Stirling engine is. Thanks!

Hmm, do I want to work for as little money as is legally possible?

 

Is anyone else experiencing issues with their official Jellyfin Android app after upgrading? Mine sees the server but gets stuck on the splash screen. Just looking to confirm if it is a larger issue or something specific to me.

Edit for context: Android app ver 2.6.3 accessing through my local network. Browser on Android and the app on my PC worked.

Edit solution: I had to uninstall and reinstall the Jellyfin app.

 

F-droid is telling me that there is a security vulnerability in Mull. Does anyone know what it is? F-droid doesn't provide details, and I can't find anything relevant on Mull's side either. I am assuming it is some out-of-date library but would like to know the risk?

 

I assumed that Gboard spell checker contacted servers constantly and have it switched off for whatever good that does. I recently tried enabling it to play with other options and noticed that it works when my phone is entirely offline.

Does anyone know if it works locally or does it just send a bunch of data out once I give it internet access again?

Bonus question: Does anyone know of a privacy respecting spell checker for android? It looks like Florisboard can work with Hunspell through Nuspell but not on Android. Is that right?

Fake subtitles over Seinfeld about IOT.

 

I am looking to just dip my toes on a couple of other platforms. What I am finding while trying to choose an instance for Funkwhale (or Friendica, Pixelfed, etc) is that there is very little in the way of descriptions for finding something to match me and I would just be choosing at random.

I am using the official sites' server recommendations/lists to look through and am really getting no info that is helpful to me. Does anyone know of other resources?

My best option at this point is to use a throw away account to get on any server then spend just enough time interacting to find a good one and try to join it. Does that seem reasonable?

 

With a sweat bee on it for good measure

 

Just interesting and a nostalgic watch.

 

I never scrolled down that far on the page.

This plant works hard to clean the water I keep out for wildlife. This one grabbed up so much nitrogen/phosphorus that it got pot bound in one year. I split it in half so each half has twice as much room to grow this year.

 

tldr: urban woodland edges around Boston are accumulating carbon faster than expected because the soil microbiome is less functional than in more rural systems. How long that will work as a C sink is unknown.

I thought I would throw this out to everyone in an easy way after seeing this post https://lemmy.ca/post/76405

What do you think the lemming mascot of Lemmy should be called? Top level comments should just be the name.
