Scientists found the missing nutrients bees need — Colonies grew 15-fold | ScienceDaily

Scientists have developed a breakthrough food supplement that could help save honeybees from devastating declines. By engineering yeast to produce six essential sterols found in pollen, researchers provided bees with a nutritionally complete diet that boosted reproduction up to 15-fold. Unlike commercial substitutes that lack key nutrients, this supplement mimics natural pollen’s sterol profile, giving bees the equivalent of a balanced diet.

BlueSky blocks the Mississippi because they added age verification.

It means the whole BlueSky network is blocked. So there is no decentralization. One authority rules the network.

Can Good UX Protect Older Users From Digital Scams? — Smashing Magazine

The frauds are targeting older or less tech-savvy users. They are targeted because they're perceived as having more savings or assets; less likely to be digital natives and trend to trust authority figures or brands. [They have a hard time to] recognise safe vs. suspicious links: differentiate between ads and actual content; know how to verify sources and undertand terms like multi-factor authentication or phishing.

In 2021, there were more than 90,000 older victims of fraud, according to the FBI. It resulted in $1.7 bullion in losses.

On average, older people in the UK who have been scammed have lost nearly £4,000 each.

They are subject to the decision fatigue and if the app or website is already not easy, then scammer can rely on these factors.

UX has a role to play in order to prevent scams to remain unknown. The tips or patterns are already known. I note a few more though: use friction to protect, not hinder; embed contextual education. "What we can do as designers is build systems that make hesitation feel natural [...] and inject small moments of friction that nudge users to double-check before proceeding"

UX has however limitations: "To help those like her, ultimately, additional elements like support contact numbers, face-to-face courses on how to stay safe on your phone, and, of course, help from family members as required."
