  • Like I said, I’m not a scientist so I’m using keywords to hit terms that are relevant to me like “tree”, “species”, “biochar”, “plant”, “soil” etc. Then I deleted some after training and added “Australia” “forest” to train more relevant to my location to see what would happen. Then I might add my climate type later to drill further down.

    So I can’t really search to find specific papers as I don’t technically know what I’m looking for. I’m extrapolating papers that might be relevant to my environmental line of work. Edit: Searched some individual keywords and I understand what you mean, it’s just time to select the papers that are relevant in that particular keyword. I’ll give that a try for a while and keep my keywords to broaden the feed.

    If you were going to develop the app further, it could become quite a nice mixed feed reader for specific topics of interest, maybe with a sharing intent for social media too. I could imagine a News tab separate to For You and Explore that picked up scientific news releases based on keywords as well coming from the main journalistic sites like phys.org, theconversation, mongabay etc.

    Thanks for your help.








  • What now?

    I don’t know. I have taken some time of work and have been in tears a few times. I am currently trying my best to support some of the other volunteers, but I’m obviously not doing great myself. A museum being seized and destroyed is unquantifiably unthinkable. Even the thought of destroying a single artefact would tear the average historian apart, let alone thousands of them. The precedent this sets for museums in NSW is terrifying.

    I have written a letter to the NSW Minister for Heritage, similar to this blog post, and I hope to hear back from them soon.

    If you want to help then please read and share the charity board’s statement requesting a re-evaluation of the rationale for the seizure and the plans to destroy the ship. It refutes several things the NSW government has publicly stated.

    Seizing a museum, including all its collections on loan from other groups, and then stating they wish to destroy it… is this really who the NSW government is? Is this what they want to do from now on?

    It doesn’t look bad at all (referring to other comment). That US warship that returned from 200 days in deployment looks just as bad. Metal rusts in the ocean.

    I hope you get the answers you need.




  • Maybe LMDE is the best of both worlds for you.

    At the moment, Aurora (non-gaming Fedora KDE Bazzite flavour) on laptops/minipc and Bazzite on desktop.

    Would I recommend? If you never need to install anything tricky (unless you distrobox it) as guides don’t tend to suit atomic desktops, then it just works and silently updates in background all the time. Flatpak covers most needed software. KDE version is nice. It does suit users that really don’t care they are using Linux.

    Nothing ever seems to go wrong but I won’t lie, at one time early in the piece, there was some manual intervention required due to error they had. Nothing since.

    This is just in the past. You’ll be happy to know that everything worked out ok.

    Mum was hyper friendly to the detriment to her feeding children, was desexed, and found a home quite quickly. She disappears from photos on my phone quicker than I remembered. Her first and only litter, she was a young Mum.




  • They look interesting from a cursory search I did after reading. We still drive laden trucks and manually water because there is no such thing as a fuel crisis. Bags are not something we do here or have seen done.

    As the El Nino keeps forming and hitting record temps, mortality will increase and our urban soils, due to sprawl, are heavily modified with negative characteristics not really compatible with tree growth/health which makes that survival harder.

    That said, we just had a record bout of rain for a Spring El Nino (usually hot and dry), another first/record broken for climate change.
