Finally offered the opportunity to pay to go ad free on Meta. At 12.99 a month, enough to put off most people, something tells me my information is worth much more than that. They’re not stupid.

While people are understandably impressed by the murmurations of starling flocks, I am reminded of a brief clip of dunlin doing likewise, with one great advantage over starlings: their white undersides.

Rats! Looks like I need a new uninterruptible power supply, suitable for a Raspberry Pi and an iMac. Anyone got any recommendations?

Does anyone know what is happening with vanilla prices? I see reports of steep rises, precipitous falls and boring plateaux, and I am not equipped to sift out any kind of overview.

I am really grateful that I can follow people who post calm and reflective pieces despite being in the middle of frantic turmoil.

I asked a colleague for evidence that an intervention was associated with changes in behaviour.

We don’t know. It’s more about awareness.

M’kay.

Awareness may be a precursor of behavioural change, but on its own it offers me nothing of value.

"You could literally take a hungry climate refugee and put them in the middle of a field of food, and they’d still starve to death." Interesting take, with which I fully agree. I wonder how the writer might feel about Chris Smaje's Small Farm Future?

And it's out, the latest issue of Eat This Newsletter https://buttondown.email/jeremycherfas/archive/linked/

A slew of stories from around the web, each of them connected to at least one of the others because that's the way of the food and agriculture system.

Just finished the draft of the latest Eat This Newsletter, which goes out tomorrow at around 13:00 CEST.

One thing I was especially grateful for was @mastoreaderio@mastodon.social from @badlogic@mastodon.gamedev.place

Decided to take up Datasette again to look at Activity data in Health.app. Turns out that the Health export does not include distance for several workouts, even though I can see distance in both Health and Fitness. No idea why this is. Anyone have a clue?
