#News: #Deforestation is making mosquitoes bite humans more! 🧐🦟 As #forests disappear, #mosquitoes lose their natural prey and target us instead, spreading diseases like #Zika and #dengue fever. 🌴☠️🚫 #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect.bsky.social sciencedaily.com/releases/2026…

Forest loss is driving mosquitoes’ thirst for human blood

In the rapidly disappearing Atlantic Forest, mosquitoes are adapting to a human-dominated landscape. Scientists found that many species now prefer feeding on people rather than the forest’s diverse wildlife.

This is a Japanese moss garden.

I was fascinated by these as a kid and tried to make a miniature moss garden inside a terrarium. Of course I was a child and didn't understand how to make such an environment self-sustaining. But it looked lovely for awhile!

Renowned for the world’s tallest trees, Redwood’s landscapes span from open prairies and oak woodlands to pristine rivers and untamed coastline. This ancient home has supported people for thousands of years.

I think this is actually a great analogy; cheap cameras gave us an infinite ocean of crap home videos but also Steven Spielberg and his whole generation of filmmakers grew up on backyard Super 8 cameras. Democratization of cameras didn’t kill cinema or big cine cameras; quite the opposite.

Basically the Device level one (which is CA based but spreading) was because Meta considered it too much work to deal with and expensive to do (and wanted to avoid the bad results the UK is having to avoid financial liability). Thru a bunch of shell companies they paid dark money to lobby and finance candidates to push it thru so that Microsoft, Apple etc can pick up the tab instead of them for the mess.

#mushrooms #photography

Little Bell (2023) A close-up macro photograph of a small, pale mushroom growing from a moss-covered log on a forest floor, with a softly blurred woodland background. The delicate bell-shaped cap and slender dark stem are sharply rendered against the vivid green moss, creating a striking contrast in colour and texture. The low camera angle and shallow depth of field give the image an intimate, ground-level perspective that highlights the quiet detail of the forest understory.

the spectacled bear (oso de anteojos / Brillenbär / ukumari) is gladly relatively common where I live. He sometimes destroys corn fields but most people like and respect the bear as unlike Puma or Jaguar, this animal isn't percieved as a threat to humans or livestock.

I would add more proprietary software from the big companies. Linux will never become mainstream if you can't get Adobe's products or other big companies' software suites.

Or at least sodtware that is not free. I will gladly pay for a polished, well-made app.

We can't rely on "the best app ever on Linux"......in version 0.3.1 that looks like something from the Windows XP era. Sorry to say 🙂
