TrueCrypt had/has that feature for full-drive encryption. But I don’t think anyone serious uses them anymore due to the current code maintainers having some questionable allegiances.

Not sure if you count nonprofits, but the Braille Institute has Atkinson Hyperlegible

In a documentary with writers who worked with Roddenberry they said it was his design choice for all ships. Apparently warp nacelles are supposed to have 40% empty space between them for the warp field to generate. In Voyager they rotated up to exit the plane of the ship.

You could also get one of the SSD drives that look like flash storage. I got a “usb stick” with 512GB SSD for about $60 last year.

Agreed! Though their claim of making an impregnated wound dressing with good results gives me hope.

Woo! Thanks for the mander.xyz shout out. Come for the science memes, stay for the top-tier science discussions.

As a high school biology teacher in Louisiana I really feel the pain of that survey. My district spends a lot of time on evolution, but it only goes so far with the kids if their parents are against it.

I think it’s still a valid question if you frame it along the lines of “something useful at protests, but also in everyday peaceful life”.

Meshtastic LoRa is worth looking into if you’re going to protests with friends/family/cohorts. You can get a waterproof, GPS enabled, credit-card sized module with multi-day battery life and no flashing required for $35 (T1000-E). That’s specifically because it can also be used when hiking, going to festivals, or just for fun.

I was just at a Mardi Gras parade and text messages couldn’t go through due to network congestion from too many people. With a couple of meshtastic devices our phones could still text each other and see our GPS positions on a map. All with encryption enabled.

Love the idea so much that I tried it. Turns out a url for a babel page is around 2,000 bytes :-(

Great article! It was nice to see some mentions of older projects as well, instead of just things currently (de)funded.

It looks like that first link just references the original article. Seems to be an AI generated summary, too.

I agree completely! When i teach the concept of Biodiversity to my classes it quickly spirals to other topics. Everything is related.

In any laboratory, including ours, we always find the same result: Adolescents just are not as good as adults at cognitive control — except in studies where we say, if you do this trial correctly, we’re going to give you extra points for more money. And, miraculously, adolescents can then do it like adults.

As a teacher I’ve found this is key to motivation in the classroom. It’s an amazing transformation for the 10-15 minute window.
