off the top of my head the ones that we grow and are fruiting (New Zealand):

Fejois (tons of em), persimmons, guavas, bannana, lemons (just started), avocados (nearing the end), quinces (gotta make jelly today), apples (we have picked golden delicious and cooking apples will be ready soon, I'm going to make some cider), figs (nearing end), Casimiroa, tamarillo, rocoto chilli. I think kiwi fruit are fruiting too but we don't grow any.

At first I thought: ooooh! I wanna learn go and raylib. So I looked at the repo, then realised I know basically nothing. I'll have another look tomorrow, to try again and hopefully learn a bit more. However I think I'm a long way away from being able to contribute anything, but would like to contribute some day. Good luck though!

Eyes can sometimes be less deiceving than marketing material.

my auntie, who has one many awards with her rare orchids, still cant figure out some jewel orchids. My own baby jewel orchid was looking beautiful before it got demolished by spidermites (at the time I thought they were just spiders until it was to late). Next time I'm going to try grow them in a bioactive terrarium hopefully they will be happier.

I'd love to see how your setup turns out and what plants you choose to plant, please post an update when you get them.

Is the LED light a grow light? If not that's fine, most normal white LEDs are just as good or often better than cheap grow lights so don't bother switch.

Its really hard to tell from a photo how bright the light is, but my guess is its medium indirect light, high indirect is still really bright.

I would recommend a maidenhair fern, their leaves look amazing, especially with light shining through and they can handle pretty much any level of indirect light.

Another recommendation would be a hoya, there are lots of varietys some have flashy leaves, and they are easy to look after.

Then if you want a challenge: jewel orchids; these orchids have beautiful iridescent leaves and tend to like high humidity, and low to medium indirect light, unfortunately they are an absolute pain to grow.

I also love mounted elkhorn ferns if you want a splash of weird. Very easy to care for.

I have had surprisingly good results with succulents in low light conditions, they grow very slow but seem to usually do fine.

Thanks, I'm trying out NewPipe right now but haven't quit got the hang of it, though Im not giving up yet, I just don't feel I can rank it yet.

Also i agree those Fossify apps are great that's why I included the Fossify suite in A tier. I realise now that maybe they arent all A tier so Here's my ranking of Fossify apps that fits in with the prior ranking:

Low S tier: Contacts, phone, SMS messenger

A tier: Gallary, file manager, Calendar, Clock, calculator

B tier: paint, voice recorder, keyboard, camera, launcher

Haven't used enough to rank: notes - no sync and no markdown :( Music player - just haven't used it much

Unfortunately the alpha roll-out had a major unpached bug causing a complete internal breakdown of the ethics and intelligence processing units in all those updated.

Some hypothesis that as alpha men now have the processing capacity of an ant, they may soon evolve a hive-mind. As this would allow all mental processing to be outsourced to a singular fat orange queen.

Algae itself needs a functioning ecosystem to survive, to much algea will cause it to kill itself due to overpopulation (e.g. using up resources and dead algea not being cleaned up) while in a small scale humans can care for the algea, taking the place of the ecosystem, for any large area this would be unfeasible and the ecosystem including the algea would collapse.

A benifit of biodiversity is greater resilance to change, by selecting for the growth of specific algea using iron you cause other algea/plant that rely on the prior ecosys to die out (including those reliant on other organisms which died). this group of less diverse algea will be more susceptible to change, (diseases or environmental change) and as most of the algea in the world will be similar, most of the algea in the world could get wiped out in one go.

So the likely outcome would be an initial spike in carbon capture before the environment becomes unsuitable, collapses, and most of the algea dies.

So all im all at any meaningful scale in the sea this is and will always be, a terrible idea.

(A better idea would be lots of small manigable algea tanks which could realistically be maintained and won't affect the current diversity, diseases could also not spread between them. This would be expensive but could actually work as a long term solution)

Ive been eco-sourcing some nikau, kowhai, kareao and puriri seeds to bring to our native plant nursery where I volunteer at. Im also going to try and grow some kareao in my room.

For harder ceramics like these a diamand coated bit (they aren't as expensive as the name makes the seem), always use water and drill through super slow so it doesn't crack (a minute or longer). Good luck!!

It all runs on good ol' clean green energy, and with the new turbines installed we're really seeing a rembursed energy of our exhausted ADP residents. They had been beginning to complain saying "I might just move to the mitochea with the wages us ADP get there". But I just said to those crazy fools "ya fools dont wanna go down that dark, dark road. want to know where the mitochondria get all their energy from? They steal it, steal it from right under our bloody noses, steal the suger we put our blood sweat and tears into". Most stay, but sometimes I feel a few sneak away in the night.

But you wanna know a secret, I've heard rumors.. rumors that in the mitochondria ADP once plump with riches will be taken against their will, kidnapped straight from their fancy mansions.

The few that come back stuggle to recover, but many are never to be seen again.
