No. "New moon" is just the night side of the moon facing us. A lunar eclipse is when the Earth blocks sunlight from the moon, which can only occur on a full moon approximately every six months.

How about MNT Reform or it's Pocket little brother?

They get you

  • Full mechanical keyboards, ortholinear if you're into that
  • Modern components
  • HIGHLY modular and repairable - their main thrust is making messing with your internals accessible
  • No sticky goo coating
  • Cyberdeck aesthetics (esp the Pocket reform)

They do NOT get you

  • Low price - you didn't mention a budget constraint
  • Thin. They are chunky kids, though certainly the Pocket reform has a reasonably portable profile

For users wanting to take a break from endless scrolling, it could potentially meaningfully impact mental health—eliminating temptation to scroll content they did not choose to see, while allowing them to remain connected to their networks and still able to visit individual pages to access content they want to see.

According to Meta, its terms of use prohibit automated access to users' personal information not just by third parties but by individual users, as a means of protecting user privacy. Meta urged the court to reject Zuckerman's claim that Meta's terms violate California privacy laws by making it hard for users to control their data. Instead, Meta said the court should agree with a prior court that "rejected the argument that California law 'espous[es] a principle of user control of data sufficient to invalidate' Facebook’s prohibition on automated access."

Electron applications are notorious and prolific, and resolutions are very specific to versions and details of the program's build process.

The corporations in Wall-E were short sighted and misguided but ultimately well intentioned. We're way off track for Wall-E

I'll throw in, YouTube channels are all fully functional RSS feeds, and you don't need to interact with YouTube at all to get your subscriptions.

Nicotine eCigarettes are still available by prescription

I disagree with the chosen changes , but they come as a result of nicotine being found in the vast majority of "nicotine-free" vapes and juices. So we're not really coming from a position of "choose what goes into your body".
