So, who else was proposing to pay for peer-review time? I'd be concerned if there was some sort of pay-for-result that seemed tied to this, but I don't see any evidence of that from this article. Aspersions are cast, but nothing of substance is there to say that the process isn't impartial.

I flipping love RSS - getting content I choose, rather than being force-fed by an algorithm, and reading it when I choose. In version 7 last week, we've improved Vivaldi's built-in Feed Reader vivaldi.com/features/feed-read…


New release of Vivaldi on iOS. Version 7.0. Plenty of improvements, but an important highlight is the much faster syncing feature and ability to customize the main menu, the kind of thing you would only expect in Vivaldi.

I do think Vivaldi's super-power is being able to literally tweak every single UX element. Glad more of that is coming to the mobile app version.

Spent the morning with the local Forest and Bird group weeding the trees we planted in June. The weeding was pretty quick with 20+ volunteers. Planning to have teams to continue weeding and watering over summer.

Photo is < a quarter of the planted area.

@Gargron that's... impressive, really. He managed to royally piss off TWO (count 'em) whole *countries*, who otherwise culturally worship America. That's state of the art douchebaggery.

@Gargron He was also arrested in Israel 🇮🇱 for sexually harassing a female soldier. Ironically, he did none of his antics in China 🇨🇳 when he visited the country.
