I watched an interesting video recently on "Lysenkoism".
In short, it's a horrible example of what happens when party politics are more important than correct science. And it should all feel very familiar to what's happening in the US right now.

Obviously you should just get rid of the CDC and FDA then. No recalls, no problem!
Voyager is a really solid alternative, and with lots of visual tweaking I've got it close to how sync looked.
Yeah, every time there is a post on the topic, moderators say that the tools they have are insufficient.
It'd be great to have some community focus on that going forward, whether through direct Lemmy changes or creating better bot mod tools. I'm not in a position to contribute right now but maybe in a few months.
There is a subset of Lemmy that absolutely hates any idea of automod tools because it reminds them too much of issues they had with Reddit. But as Lemmy grows (and given it's volunteer nature) it feels inescapable at some point.
It's these terrible single washer/dryer combos that are the cause of this pain. I can only assume their popularity is because they are small and cheap.
It may be the one thing America gets right - overwhelming people have larger washer / dryers with dedicated washing and drying sections. Takes up more space and I'm assuming requires hookups that aren't common elsewhere, but man, they are SO much faster and far more effective. You can be done with all your laundry in a couple hours tops - and I'm talking like 1-2 weeks of laundry all at one time.
Meanwhile we have one of these, and I feel like we're doing small loads of wash the entire week. And don't even bother with the dryer setting on it - for 90% of items, you're just spending 6 hours raising your electricity bill.

Meanwhile just a few posts above this:
A deadly E. coli outbreak hit 15 states, but the FDA chose not to publicize it
This is a fair assessment, but all of them should know better than using Signal for this kind of thing.
For all the people cheering or indifferent to this:
-
This would affect more than social media - this would affect ANYWHERE that has user accounts that can post content - blogs, wikis, website builders, hell, even email.
-
The summary states this is so it can be "renegotiated". Considering the current authoritarian direction of the United States, now would be absolutely the worst time to rewrite online content policing laws - it will absolutely be used to silence dissent.
But surely one user posting illegal content would get blasted to all connected instances making everyone guilty.
So... Worse. Much worse.
It obviously depends on your exact git workflow, but my last team had things setup so that the code content of a MR was automatically squashed on merge, and the text if the MR itself was automatically set as the content of the new singular git commit.
This was largely the best of both worlds because your commits could have almost any text, and the description of what changed could be updated as needed when making the MR. But it ultimately ended up in the git history where it belonged.
Of course, I still had some trouble trying to get the team to describe their changes well in the MR at times - but that's a different problem entirely.
