@pvanheus@mstdn.science @drsimevans@mastodon.energy It says TWh in the title. If it's exploitable energy, that still raises the question of what else is rising (nuclear, hydro?).

Tor seems to work as the default browser on Android, although everything is somewhat slowed. It may even be safe to accept cookies.

Test your browser's fingerprint and weep.

https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

In my case, "at least 18.2 bits of information", but that seems to be an underestimate based on being unique amongst the recent visitors (~300k = 2^18). If they were independent, the information sources available on me would sum to about 75 bits).

Less than 8 bits of information with the Tor browser.

Browser manufacturers should offer a reduced fingerprint option (rather than only trying to block fingerprinting sites).

The EU seriously should do this. It would certainly help break the US tech dominance.

@richvn Well I'll be damned, but Oncotarget may actually be correct in their claim (assuming my search syntax is correct...). They have *many* papers commented on PubPeer (>1300), but I count just one published in the last two years. Indeed, it seems they have been improving for a while. Not sure how much cleaning up of their back catalogue they have done, though. Did they say how many corrections/retractions they had done?

Replying to @steveroyle@biologists.social
@steveroyle@biologists.social @richvn@mastodon.social @ScienceSurf@mastodon.social Many different types of comments are allowed on PubPeer. However, there are a lot of fake and dumb papers out there and they mostly end up on PubPeer. Just take a look at our "firehose" page: https://pubpeer.com/recent So for a quick and dirty analysis, @richvn@mastodon.social's suggestion of comment=problem is not so unreasonable. One could refine by estimating the proportion of serious comments and maybe even looking for different proportions across journals.
