When the kids in the other room go to the search bar on the Apple TV, my phone pops up a dialog asking if I want to type on my phone’s keyboard instead of using the remote.

So I hit yes, and when the search box pops up, I hit the X to clear what they were entering and quickly type “BAD YAMS” and tap the search button.

I can hear them yelling from here. “Why does it keep searching for bad yams? What’s wrong with this thing?”

My brother works at a healthcare facility that recently unveiled a bunch of new, time-consuming, and complicated procedures for sterilizing equipment.

The equipment techs have been complaining because the procedures are, in their opinion, stupid.

The organization they work for cited a research paper that said these procedures reduce infection rates.

My brother, however, has a science background, and knows how to read a peer-reviewed paper.

He found the paper they cited, and it does say that these procedures will reduce infection rates, and it cites another paper as its source for that.

He found that paper and read it. It cites another paper in making that claim.

He found that paper. It had cited a previous paper. So he found that one.

He traced this claim all the way back to its original paper, which doesn't even make that claim. These procedures were just mentioned in the paper as something that *could* possibly reduce infections, but as something that would need to be tested to know for sure.

They weren't tested. A series of authors just kept citing the author before them, each making the claim a little more firmly until it was stated as a proven fact.

In a move that absolutely no one asked for:
I am porting the Windows Vista/7 desktop Gadgets to Wayland with some GTK sorcery.

These widgets are actually zip files with web resources plus some metadata.
I got the Machine CPU and RAM stats working, along with some of Microsoft's weird JS API's.

Remember this?

"There are many reports of Black people being refused at border crossings in favor of white Ukrainians, leaving them stuck at borders for days in brutal conditions."

When I say antiblackness is global, this is just one example of what I mean.

legit my tummy is messed up and the doctor's orders are to be gluten and dairy-free. i would love any recommendations for foods i can look into 👀 i'm snack-y and a bad cook but i try my best

closed-source software just gets abandoned for boring corporate reasons but open-source is so much more fun because it's always some shit like "the dysfunctional polycule that maintained this is currently being hunted across state lines by a vengeful metamour" or "alphabet inc. sent private mercenaries to the home of our lead developer"

I need a word! What are these things called in english? Paper ads? Ad papers? Something completely different? Need this for an instructable.

Anyone knows any visually impaired astronomers (or amateurs) who will be interested to test our #astronomy apps for #Accessibility ?

Asking for a friend (echt), is er een soort bank-of-last-resort voor stichtingen? Een bank die wel bereid is na te denken ipv gillend weg te rennen zodra het iets met het hulp aan Oekraïne te maken heeft? Het is leuk dat de overheid contante transacties boven de 3000 euro verbiedt maar dan moet je niet ook bankrekeningen onbereikbaar maken, lijkt me.
