Maybe Meta should change the name of the department from PR to Reply Guys, because that seems more appropriate to the energy they're bringing.

I know many people have found the same thing when teaching in front of a class (myself included).

An explanation of how these profiles do or don't relate to the ones shown in about:profiles would be very helpful.

On Mastodon there's an option to follow people but not see their re-posts. It seems like that would help somewhat. I would have expected that to exist on Bluesky as well, but I admit I don't see a way to do that in the UI. The closest thing I know of is the OnlyPosts feed.

What’s your favorite food fact that is true but sounds totally made up?

I’ll start: about half of the mushrooms produced across the United States of America each year (more than 300 million pounds of mushrooms in recent years) are produced in *one county* in Pennsylvania.

Maybe its a regional thing, but I almost never saw that at that time.

What about all the people who go everywhere in what are sweat pants or flannel pants, flip flops, exercise gear, or technical outdoors gear (think Arcteryx or Patagonia)? I feel like that would be a pretty noticeable difference in casual culture from the 90s.

As a regular user, I've been so confused about the relationship between these things. I guess I'm glad to see that at least I'm in good company.

If there were a standard governing the allowed length and characters in a password that was widely followed, do you think that hash-based password generation approaches (e.g. hashapass) could have been viable as an alternative to password managers?

I wonder if this is actually viewed as a plus by some services (e.g. news and streaming sites), since it makes sharing an account more difficult and annoying.

Science’s big problem is a loss of influence, not a loss of trust Nature - Evidence shows that science and scientists remain highly trusted. But genuine scientific voices are not shouting loud enough over the noise to hold sway.

Observation of a Rapidly Pulsating Radio Source
by
A. HEWISH
S. J. BELL
J. D. H. PILKINGTON
P. F. SCOTT
R. A. COLLINS

Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory, Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge

Unusual signals from pulsating radio sources have been recorded at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory. The radiation seems to 
come from local objects within the galaβ€Ήy, and may be associated with oscillations of white dwarf or neutron stars.

In July 1967, a large radio telescope operating at a frequency of 81-5 MHz was brought into use at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory. This instrument was designed to investigate the angular structure of compact radio sources by observing the scintillation caused by the irregular structure of the interplanetary medium'.
The initial survey includes the whole sky in the declination range - 08Β° < 8<44Β° and this area is scanned once a week. A large fraction of the sky is thus under regular surveillance. Soon after the instrument was brought into operation it was noticed that signals which appeared at first to be weak sporadic interference were repeatedly observed at a fixed declination and right ascension; this result showed that the source could not be terrestrial in origin.

Given that the Proton CEO came out in favor of Trump and the Republicans, I'm not sure how likely that is.
