I’m currently running the latest version from F-droid, it’s doing what it should do. No red flags I can see.

I know the current owner as much as the previous one so no difference for me.

Yeah, I totally agree that there’s an issue. You seem the best suggesting that some scientists are wasting time.

What’s your hypothesis on the motivation for that? Is it in individual or systemic Change that’s needed?

I’m reminded of a quote…

``` There are two kinds of scientific progress: the methodical experimentation and categorization which gradually extend the boundaries of knowledge, and the revolutionary leap of genius which redefines and transcends those boundaries. Acknowledging our debt to the former, we yearn nonetheless for the latter.

  -- Academician Prokhor Zakharov,
      "Address to the Faculty"

This often represents an issue in the reporting not the science.

A new study which explores the details of those volatile organic compounds might be reported the same as a less robust, detailed or specific study from the 80s because it has to make a good headline now, just like it did back then.

There’s also the need to keep updating research, to replicate old studies to prove the evidence still counts, especially in the field of ecology since so many are inclined to dismiss the science in that field which could literally kill us all.

Had this problem for a the last three months. Tested hard drives, memory and everything else.

Turned out to be a PSU with an intermittent issue where it would drop voltage. Very annoying!

In the episode “The Perfect Mate” Riker gets all teased and worked up by the sexy alien.

He escapes the conversion saying “I’ll be in the holodeck” with a lot of implication!
