@yogthos @roho also, the whole point of the initial article is to explain that you don’t test masks’ efficiency via randomized trials (for the same reason you don’t test parachutes that way): though it may seem counterintuitive at first, this is actually not really a medical question but an physical/engineering one.
You need to prove that the mask effectively blocks aerosols, that it blocks transmission is then a direct consequence ;)

> Is there a list of instances somewhere that I can use for redundancy?

I imagine you mean farside instances, right?
If so, that’s a good question to which I don’t have an answer… I’m actually interested if you find others or host one yourself.

> If people here are annoyed by it, I’d be happy to limit the bot to Lemmygrad

I don’t think a bot is the right way to do this if it’s not on the instance’s ToS, but I don’t speak for lemmy.ml ;)

@TankieReplyBot
Using a single instance makes you vulnerable to it not working or being blocked; use Farside to get a link that should always redirect to a working frontend: https://farside.link/teddit/r/Open_Science/comments/yref4h/phacking/

(If you’re going to annoy people with a bot like that, the least you can do is make sure you provide the best possible alternative)

@Austin_Skeldon ow, that sounds great! We also had those derogation for beetroot in northern France, anyone knows whether it will stop it too? (I mean, it should, but you never know with these things…)

Recently rewatched Ponyo to work on my Japanese and the Pop-Pop boat is really one of the nice features of this movie so it’s quite fun to see this shortly after ⬆️

@yogthos
As usual with such articles, the title is clickbait, but the content is interesting nonetheless :)
