They could try to say that but I doubt people would believe it.

Who throws away their own code particularly when it’s not junky commercial code but code their heart and soul was behind on a non-profit project? I keep my old code around if anything just to be able to search it to re-teach myself coding and design tips I forgot about. This code backs their research which they may need to refer to when a prospective employer asks for detail on how they executed the study.

ah, I’ve seen that before.. i recall the violence measurements. Glad to have a copy of that.

Maybe the acknowledgments gives a hint?

Yes, if it’s not too big.

Goggles works for me.

The create post form is dysfunctional. After entering a title I tab to the next field and the title is erased upon shifting the focus to another field. The form is unfillable.

The timeline has 4 possible timeline views: subscribed, local, all, moderator view. That selector is broken in Ungoogled Chromium. In UC, I click “moderator view” and the button highlights as I click it, the page refreshes, but the selector does not stick. It is trapped in the “local” view and only shows the local timeline.

I did not test Mander specifically on these, but it seems to be the same problem for all stock front ends newer than 0.19.3.

WD-40 sounds like an interesting idea. Most people think of it as an oil, but in fact WD-40 is a cocktail of many different solvents, plus mineral oil, IIUC. It’s indeed more of a cleaning product than a lube.

One problem with all Lemmy instances running later version than 0.19.3 is the front-ends are broken with Ungoogled Chromium. Lemmy instances running 0.19.5 essentially force me to use Tor Browser (firefox). This is unrelated to the onion problem but one of my other workarounds is to use a non-stock front-end with ungoogled chromium. So for example slrpnk.net has alexandrite.slrpnk.net, which is an alternative FE. The landing page of slrpnk.net lists a few other alternative front ends as well.

I don’t know if there is a way for users to run alexandrite and then specify another backend of choice. But if not, it could be useful to make other front-ends available on the onion.

Not sure why that is necessarily the case. Recall how wine was made at one point: people barefeet got in a tub of grapes and smashed them by running around. Roach milk could be a matter of rounding up some 8 year old boys and giving them gummy bears or a candybar if they stomp around in a vat of roaches.

ah yes, that’s it.

I cannot help but think about that future-set movie with a non-stop train conditions non-survivable outside the train, with a class system on the train. The lowest class people were at the back of the train were fed something called nutrition bars or blocks (or something like that), which looked like mysterious black jello-like bricks. They were made on the train from cockroaches. Anyone know what movie I’m talking about? This research fits nicely into that movie narrative.

For centuries, saffron has been a prized dye

Bizarre that such a costly substance would be used as a dye for clothing. Why pay what’s likely the equivalent of HP ink when you can just get a box of Rit yellow dye at the supermarket?

Surely the price will drop when someone figures out that drones can fly around and harvest the saffron.

As a test, I enabled js on the onion site and tried again to post from the onion connection. Again my message was simply blackholed. So noscript’s default disabling of JS is not the issue.

(edit) then I posted from the clearnet site mader.xyz.. no issue. This problem is onion-specific.

Also worth noting that AI was used by the researchers. It’s not mentioned in the article, but I guess AI helped sort out which sounds might be a name.

⚠ Folks-- use lynx to view that article. It’s fully #enshitified in GUI browsers (autoplay, ½-screen blocking bullshit) but decent in text browsers.

Right but what if the cheapest food is idk, something like celery root? I think the idea w/the thesis of the article is that a skilled cook can adapt to whatever ingredients are cheapest at any moment.

I think I’m a decent cook but I also think I need to improve because when I’m in the produce area and have no idea how to use like 15—20% of the options there. E.g. celery root, cactus, and ½ dozen things I don’t even recognize.

Indeed, that’s a good point. I wonder how many people don’t know that. I used to think “nothing will survive 250°F in my pressure cooker” and was tempted to cook some questionable pork. But yeah, would have been dangerous because chemical toxins from bacteria output would “survive” (persist) in 250°F. So after some quick research, I tossed it.

Though I might be surprised if 24hrs is enough time for brine to not only accumulate bacteria in high numbers but also allow enough time for bacteria toxins to be produced. How fast does that happen? I would have thought a day is too short (I don’t think I ever let more than a day pass between boils).

Yeah, indeed I just realized from an article I linked that salt only works as a preservative by drying out food. So salt water is indeed useless.
