It's nice to see someone talking sense about the whole blue light silliness!
How much does your phoneโs blue light really delay your sleep? Relax, itโs just 2.7 minutes
Itโs one of the most pervasive messages about technology and sleep. Weโre told bright, blue light from screens prevents us falling asleep easily. Weโre told to avoid scrolling on our phones before bedtime or while in bed. Weโre sold glasses to help filter out blue light. We put our phones on โnight modeโ 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 phoneโs blue light really delay your sleep? Relax, itโs 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. Hereโs whatโs really going on.The Conversation

โNot 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 thisโand sobered, too, by how much work there is to be done. But I think it's doable.

#OTD in 1911.
Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre by museum employee Vincenzo Peruggia and was not recovered until two years later.
The theft and subsequent recovery in 1913 led to the publication of many cultural depictions such as the 1915 opera Mona Lisa, two early 1930s films (The Theft of the Mona Lisa and Arsรจne Lupin) and the song "Mona Lisa" recorded by Nat King Coleโone of the most successful songs of the 1950s.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐ง๐ฎ • • •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.
