Today I released version 0.7 of my print-in place single-paddle Morse code key.
This will function as release notes:

• The most important practical change is that the slot in the lever for the stabilizer bar is taller, so that it doesn't bind. Previously, it sometimes bound depending on luck, and when it didn't bind, needed to be greased with a light lubricant.

Kein Mikroplastik mehr: Pflanzenbasierter Kunststoff zersetzt sich im Meer
Forscher haben einen Weg gefunden, Mikroplastik in Meeren zu verringern. Sie entwickelten einen Kunststoff, der sich im Salzwasser biologisch zersetzt.

To be honest, a machine-learning model for Nuke where the training data is clearly sourced and free of legal baggage would be a really good thing. There are so many image segmentation and inpainti…

Typhoons vacuum microplastics from ocean and deposit them on land, study finds
Tropical storms such as typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclones are Earth's most powerful weather systems. Born over warm oceans, they travel thousands of kilometers to land, traversing waters now polluted with plastics, from coastal runoff to the vast oceanic garbage patches.

This is an amazing soaring flight!

Microplastics found in rural woodland at higher levels than in city centers
Air-polluting microplastics have been found in rural environments in greater quantities than in urban locations, researchers say. Scientists led by the University of Leeds detected up to 500 microscopic particles of plastic per square meter per day in an area of woodland during the three-month study—almost twice as much as in a sample collected in a city center. The findings are published in the journal Environmental Pollution.

That press release is full of insults.
One license model supposedly helps them speed up development? B*llshit, the RLM server takes care of that, nothing to do with the main app.
