On Friday morning, I will defend my dissertation.
The research explores how congressional staffers make #science policy decisions at the national level. I used to work in the Senate, which inspired this journey into the social sciences.
(Friday is also the first day of my kids' Spring Break, so they'll be coming along which should be interesting).
For those curious about the topic, I share a bit about the research on my substack. More results will there soon sheril.substack.com/p/a-disser…

Canonical Keeps Shipping Malware Snaps!!
It keeps happening, Canonical keeps letting Malware get shipped on the Snap Store and it seems like there is absolutely no effort being put in to stop this p...YouTube
I would argue that the AUR is probably a bit safer than the Snap Store because you are given an install script that is completely viewable to the user. Plus auto updates don't happen.
On the other hand, the snap store is very opaque to the user and they don't know what exactly is being installed. Plus auto updates happen without even notifying the user.
Honestly the idea of snaps is decent, but the execution is horrible.

There is a Peertube channel called Shifter ( video.canadiancivil.com/c/shif… )
When I try to subscribe to it using my Mastodon account, the page in Mastodon shows 228 posts, but none of them visible (see screenshot or here mas.to/@shifter_cycling@video.… )
Any idea why this might be?

‘How long before climate change will destroy the Earth?’: research reveals what Australian kids want to know about our warming world
The result shows climate change education in schools must become more holistic and empowering, and children should be allowed to shape the future they will inherit.The Conversation
like this
I may surrounded by vast wetlands within the mountains, but I'm also in the historic dustbowl region. Climatechange is likely to make a swift and brutal entrance again.
My solar garden might keep my tiny house quite comfortable, but climatechange can take away all sources of food and water with no mercy.
good to read that 25% of the questions asked by the little Tassies were of a scientific bent and, even better, "action on climate change was the most frequent theme, discussed in 40% of questions" - this indicates they are informed and concerned and looking toward their futures (possibly considering "what can i do?").
Disappointing that the article finished with a list of what others should do, though, rather than articulate what is being done (such as climate change topics being part of the national and state curricula throughout high school, and incorporated into subjects in primary schools). Let's not forget they wont be children in just a few years (stated age range was 7-18 so some are already adults)

A couple of years ago, frustrated by a takeout Italian sandwich with unevenly distributed fillings, I had a wonderful, life-changikottke.org
Well, I promised myself a 4x5 self-portrait today. I shot 4 sheets and missed focus on all of them. This was the most successful of the lot. I like to include the trigger bulb in the shot. Extra film-ey that way maybe?
