LjLWhat random news is this? Zotero allowed me to tag a *large* number of tags so far and I've used that to my advantage... and now, apparently, I can't tag any more tags because "Only 10 tags in a library can have colors"? Except I already have way more?02:19
LjLI've already seen some discussions where the Zotero dev(s) seemed quite opinionated on The Way to do things02:19

de-factoConclusion: "Overall, the risk of myocarditis is greater after SARS-CoV-2 infection than after COVID-19 vaccination and remains modest after sequential doses including a booster dose of BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine. However, the risk of myocarditis after vaccination is higher in younger men, particularly after a second dose of the mRNA-1273 vaccine. "13:06
