I'm quite excited for the Starship Troopers: Extermination single-player
Starship Troopers: Extermination is already a fun game, but the initial Early Access release was short-lived due to a lack of content. Over time, Offworld have really built it up and the new upcoming single-player mode has me really excited.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I absolutely adore the original film. That said something that often seems to be missing from franchise spinoffs after, including this trailer, is the sense of satire suggesting that the Federation may actually be a propaganda spewing cause of the war with the bugs rather than just the "might is right" good guys.
I miss the poking fun at unthinking American militarism that I loved in Starship Troopers.

It's nice to see someone talking sense about the whole blue light silliness!
How much does your phone’s blue light really delay your sleep? Relax, it’s just 2.7 minutes
It’s one of the most pervasive messages about technology and sleep. We’re told bright, blue light from screens prevents us falling asleep easily. We’re told to avoid scrolling on our phones before bedtime or while in bed. We’re sold glasses to help filter out blue light. We put our phones on “night mode” to minimise exposure to blue light.
But what does the science actually tell us about the impact of bright, blue light and sleep? When our group of sleep experts from Sweden, Australia and Israel compared scientific studies that directly tested this, we found the overall impact was close to meaningless. Sleep was disrupted, on average, by less than three minutes.
How much does your phone’s blue light really delay your sleep? Relax, it’s just 2.7 minutes
The message that blue light from screens stops you from falling asleep is essentially a myth, albeit a very convincing one. Here’s what’s really going on.The Conversation

"There's no machine known that is more efficient than a human on a bicycle. Bowl of oatmeal, thirty miles. You can't come close to that."
—Not surprising that Bill Nye, the Science Guy, has known about the efficiency of the bicycle for a long time.
"The bicycle is the most efficient machine ever created. Converting calories into gas, a bicycle gets the equivalent of three thousand miles per gallon."

So relieved and delighted to have this stuff out into the world where it can help new (and maybe also some experienced) fedi admins and mods think through their work. And maybe help convey to others at least some of what makes the fediverse such a structurally interesting place.
I'm even more optimistic about the fediverse than I was when we jumped into this—and sobered, too, by how much work there is to be done. But I think it's doable.
