Among the grounds for the retraction:
* "The article's conclusions…are solely based on unpublished studies from Monsanto."
* "Employees of Monsanto may have contributed to the writing of the article without proper acknowledgment as co-authors."
* "The authors may have received [undisclosed] financial compensation from Monsanto for their work on this article."

Remember that in 2020, the "relied almost entirely on studies" to conclude that Roundup was safe.

In 2016, Monsanto made a show of sharing its research on glyphosate with the public. But instead of making it , it put print copies in a room in Brussels, required registration to use the room, and then closed the room after two months.

Two questions for follow up studies:
1. Why did Elsevier's 𝘙𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘛𝘰𝘹𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 need 25 years to retract this piece of Monsanto advertising?
2. What harm did the article cause during the last 25 years?

Hey fellow people interested in independent music and sonic exploration, analog tape recording, tools and online community.

I wanted to give a shout out to @SpaDogs who joined the Fediverse after I suggested it to him.

I think he deserve some more friends, follower or whatever fedizens are called as he is a friendly and positive guy interested in cool stuff and always comments in a positive, friendly and non-scary way that I appreciate.

So how about giving him a follow?

Boosts appreciated.

In the Starfleet Technical Manual, there is a throwaway detail of the LCARS user interface that when it is upgraded, users can still utilize the previous several versions. This is because their work is mission-critical and it is unacceptable to compromise the mission by forcing unfamiliar changes; eventual retraining is part of their job, but the flexibility allows them to take the retraining at their own pace.

I think about this from time-to-time and how this is still a sci-fi idea that is seen all too rarely in how we do actual computer UIs.

un tempo Linux e le sue utility erano fatti per funzionare su qualsiasi hardware. dal 386 in su. fosse successa l'apocalisse ti trovavi con hardware limitato e linux avrebbe funzionato. poi hanno prevalso pure li logiche commerciali. ed ecco che basta avere una cpu a 32 bit neppure troppo vecchia per non avere più un sistema operativo che ci gira...

사실 난 자식이 부모를 봉양할 의무는 없다고 생각한다. 부모가 자신들의 선택에 의해 자식을 낳았으니 아이가 안정적인 환경에서 성인으로 자랄 때까지 책임지는 건 당연하다. 하지만 자식은 자신의 선택으로 세상에 나오지 않았다. 그렇기에 부모를 봉양하는 건 의무가 아니라 자신에게 아낌없이 사랑을 베풀어준 부모에 내한 보답, 혹은 사랑하는 마음이 우러날 때 기꺼이 하는 일이라고 생각한다. 그래서 누구에게나 늙으면 자식이 있어야 한다는 그 말에 내포된 뜻과 무게에 동의하지 않는다.
