Apparently Leiden and 4 other Dutch universities are completely cutting their English-language psychology bachelor programs?! This sounds really worrying, especially as the purported "internationalisering in balans" law has not yet even passed. Consider this as another reminder to not comply in advance. And also to stand in solidarity with all academic disciplines.

@ayo Yeah — B2 is great. Amazon broke the S3 SDK for a lot of 3rd party S3 providers so I had to switch Directus to a mount and “local” storage. 😭

I need to do a detailed breakdown, but it’s trending that way.

Feedbin to FreshRSS. Instapaper to linkding, iCloud storage to Immich, Netlify to a LAMP server, Digital Ocean for Directus to the Coolify server, Fastmail to Stalwart and Baikal.

Even if it’s break even I prefer the control haha.

Biological reality: What genetics has taught us about race ~ Adam Rutherford, BBC

"[Human Genome Project] provided definitive evidence that racial groupings have no biological basis. In fact, there is more genetic variation within racial groups than between them. Race, it showed, is a social construct."

Looks like the 1.5GHz G4 PowerBook has died. 😭

Screen goes blank a few seconds after powerup, with odd noises from the motherboard.

This sucks, bigtime - one of the best watt per MHz ratio of all the PowerPC-based apple machines...

"This is really going to impact institutions that we take for granted."

OK, which European institution is going to step up and offer Internet Archive a back-up home?

What's the best Canadian TV show? I don't mean shows like The Expanse, which was filmed in Canada but clearly an American production. I mean Lost Girl, Lexx, Relic Hunter, Grand Star. Are any of them not painful to watch?

“Previous work has focused on individual responses—some on CO2 and some on temperature, but not both, and not on a wide range of rice genetics,” Ziska said. “We knew that temperature by itself could increase levels, and carbon dioxide by a little bit. But when we put both of them together, then wow, that was really something we were not expecting. You’re looking at a crop staple that’s consumed by a billion people every day, and any effect on toxicity is going to have a pretty damn large effect.”

지금 탐라 플로우 보니까 계속 궁금했던 게 생각났는데 사람 이름만 듣고 특정 성별감각이 느껴지는 건 도대체 무슨 원리인지 궁금하다 예를 들면 (아기 이름 인기순위에서 아무 이름이나 골라서) '도윤'이라고 하면 남자 이름같고 '하윤'이라고 하면 여자 이름같고 그런 거...

I've been on Mastodon for years, but I'm new to this server, so it's once again time!

I'm an author of speculative fiction that seeks connection amidst the chaos, where community out-competes greed, and where love is more durable than fear.

I also sometimes write horror, because ~gestures broadly at everything~

I spent the last 20 years in video game development, so the writing thing is pretty new, but I also grew up telling stories, so in that sense, it's pretty old. ☺️
