500,000 Taxa on iNaturalist! inaturalist.org/blog/103155-50…

"that’s 23% of all known species on Earth... #Birds stand out: nearly all species have been observed on #iNaturalist. 349 species (2%) are yet to be recorded... For #reptiles, #amphibians, & #mammals there are about 10x as many unobserved... Like birds, most unobserved species only remain in tropical regions. This is not the case for #fish, #plants, #invertebrates, & #fungi where there are still many left to observe in all parts of the globe"

So no Bloodborne on PC ever? A masterpiece of a game forever imprisoned on substandard gaming hardware (barring emulators of course, *cough cough*).
AND, those games are probably now all gonna be chained to that idiotic PSN requirement, meaning that contrary to one of the statements cited in the article, which talks about being able to "deliver their IP to more users around the world". PSN lock-in does the exact opposite through geo-restrictions etc.


The most profitable patient is one with a chronic (highly functioning) illness, not a cured one.

When I lived in the US I was always amazed by the amount of ads for painkillers and other fixes. I came to the understanding that healthcare for many was not about curing people, but about making people able to work. I've never seen so many people with chronic illnesses poorly addressed as in the US.

I just posted a super-simple how-to guide for online community governance—basically just inviting communities to start with some important, often-neglected basics. If you know anyone who might appreciate this, please share! colorado.edu/lab/medlab/2024/1…
in reply to Nathan Schneider

Nathan, how would you describe online community building to a group of people who consider themselves a community, but not primarily an online one, but using platforms and social media "as is" in a "ubiquituous/ambient computing" situation? For whom ICT are just a tool to communicate internally and externally, which leave technicial decisions to "the techies"?

Thinking about how to untangle the knot at the @IDN.

@yala @IDN I think this guide should be useful for many offline communities as well. But they may not need it; hopefully they already have organizational infrastructure and they just apply it to their online tools.
in reply to Nathan Schneider

It's interesting. Because we are a globally distributed group, the organisational infrastructure is a chat and Google Docs, therefore inherently online. But we have 50 % join rate from registration to the org to joining the chat, which is not a lot.
I was rather asking about how to raise awareness about this inherent online-ness, when everybody is already fed up and tired out from getting lost in platforms and logins.
An emphasis on synchronous collab is making things even harder.
in reply to jon ⚝

@yala Phew, I'm not sure what the best approach is—other than meeting the community where it's at. These questions of on-boarding depend so much on context.
in reply to Nathan Schneider

Thank you. I think that's already a point I hadn't considered, because our experiences and expectations diverge so much. It's hard to meet in the middle.

@Gargron @preinheimer Right? There's an entire ocean between those two countries.

I mean, it's only a 26km gap, but it's still ocean.



The #food system is one of the most meaningful places to address #ClimateChange.

Have you been curious about switching from gas to #induction? This game-changing cooktop is faster, cleaner, more precise, and a win for the environment.

My new ep of Serving Up Science is all about why it makes sense to switch when it’s time to replace your range. youtu.be/JyTvHQnHq14?si=4twIzt… #energy

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

We recently moved to a house that has an induction hob, and WOW! what a difference it makes.
I'm convinced, my wife is slowly coming round to the idea, and it's cheaper as well!
