10 minutes of sun per day is typically less likely to give you cancer than 0 minutes. Vitamin D (and other compounds involved in the synthesis from cholesterol that you won’t get in supplements) upregulate DNA repair polymerases that protect against carcinogens. Of course after a few minutes the costs of UV exposure outweight this benefit though.

I want to put Skype’s corpse on a banner and wave it around to all the software that’s currently undergoing enshittification.

It wouldn’t be science without some jargon :P

Basically, a new mechanism has been found - low nitrogen influences the signalling of a plant hormone to reduce the number of branches. Particularly pertinent to cereal crops and could help lower the need for nitrogen fertilisers!

Hope it stays open source going forward, especially given how it’s built on the back of decades of hard work in x-ray crystallography.

Can’t mentally decline if you were never sound of mind in the first place!

Dutton’s so much of a spud I’m almost glad he’s in charge of the LNP instead of someone more charismatic. Hopefully he never sees any real power. Can’t believe that this is even a political issue up for debate, just delay delay delay and never so anything.

Nobody is saying that fish are moral agents that can empathise with other beings. That doesn’t man that they’re not moral subjects; the ability to understand that one is causing harm is not a prerequisite for the ability to suffer oneself. I think everyone knows this intuitively, but it does feel good to have our less moral habits be justified by memes that we would otherwise find to be illogical.
