And capitalism is everyone thinking they need to buy more and more new pairs of shoes each year.


Fedora Linux 40 is HERE! Check out all our latest variants for desktop, server, and more.

New features include:
* @kde Plasma 6
* @gnome 46
* Fedora Atomic Desktops (rebrand for Silverblue et al)

Fedora 40 comes with a refresh of our branded laptop collaboration... introducing the Slimbook Fedora 2!

@slimbook has packed this with exciting features like:
* New black chassis
* US ANSI keyboard layout
* Intel i7 13th Gen CPU
* Nvidia RTX 4000 series GPU
* In 14" and 16" sizes

If Fedora 40 had a headlining change, it might be @kde Plasma 6. The KDE SIG have brought over all the hard work from that community to give you a solid desktop experience from day 1.

We're also pushing technology forward by making this release Wayland-only, though X11 apps will still work!

Plasma 6 is also available for our Kinoite users. :kinoite:

Give the Fedora KDE 40 spin a try today!

The story of frequent persistence of SARS-CoV-2 in multiple organs after mild Covid keeps getting stronger, and correlates (odds ratio >5) with symptoms of Long Covid

Disappointed to learn Cohost has been started by people from the fediverse. You know what the fediverse is but you learned the wrong lessons from it. Yes, I also think some servers are not operated professionally and blocks often get misused, but that is not a reason to replace a free and open system with a locked down one. I wrote on why decentralization matters back in 2018:

LOL they did that because they want to keep user lock-in via monetization an option for them. Clowns

Happy to share the latest manuscript from our lab, in which we propose that eukaryotes evolved from a genomic chimera of Asgard archaea and giant viruses.

biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20…

This is a controversial topic, but we believe we have strong evidence to suggest a critical viral role in eukaryogenesis.

#viruses #protists #eukaryotes #evolution #TreeOfLIfe #archaea

in reply to Frank Aylward

Over the last decade, strong evidence has accumulated that Asgard archaea are the closest cellular relatives of eukaryotes, but it has remained unclear why some eukaryotic genes, such as multi-subunit RNA polymerase and some DNA polymerase subunits, do not show clear affinity to archaea (i.e. they support a 3-domain tree). We propose that these 3D genes were acquired from viruses, and that eukaryotes are therefore a archaeal-virus chimera.
in reply to Frank Aylward

As bizarre as this all sounds, I believe we have strong phylogenetic evidence supporting this model. Importantly, this model has also been proposed before by Phil Bell based on first principles or eukaryotic organization and similarities between the nucleus and virus factories formed by viruses during infection

doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2022.858…

in reply to Frank Aylward

absolutely looking forward to studying the paper. Shocked me awake at 1:30 am 😀
in reply to Frank Aylward

How cool is that. Been looking for a paper I read 15 or 20 years ago proposing a viral theory of DNA origin, whereby an inserted DNA virus on an RNA genome would then replicate the whole bacterial genome as DNA, and the bacterium became dependent on that insertion from then on. Will read yours and Phil Bell’s to see if I can find a reference to it.
in reply to Albert Cardona

@albertcardona thanks! Patrick Forterre has published some similar work on how viruses led to the emergence of DNA pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/164764…

this part is so true, especially the @gnome related bits. I do see so much hate against it based on some completely outdated or wrong information. It's not even funny.

I have to admit I still have not understood what Nextcloud Hub is and why it is at version 8 when 2 years ago it was at version 24 nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-h…
(even if I host and use daily a Nextcloud instance since 2017)


Feels like the right day to repost this quilt

This looks fascinating. I will leave it here for reading later.

There is one outside my hometown on the highway. They spelled the name of the town wrong.


Completely mind boggling to me that we threw away 5 billion phones in 2022.

Some of those could have been repurposed: smartphones are hardly innovating any more. The most eco-friendly phone is the one you already have.

We need to publicly support communities like @postmarketOS who work on making these phones repurposable, and @gnome that work on making a polished mobile experience that serves people, not creepy corporations.

They fixed it: NASA is able to talk to Voyager I again. “For the first time since November, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft is returning usable data about the health and status of its onboard engineering systems.” blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/2024/04…

“The next step is to enable the spacecraft to begin returning”

“science data again.”

Just had a brief moment there.



The blogging platform #Ghost is working on adding #ActivityPub integration. That means, among other things, being able to follow Ghost-powered blogs and comment on articles right from your Mastodon account. The website they made to explain their plans is really nice! This is what momentum looks like.

@hstone32 then you have no idea what programming is, if books titled literally "learn python programming" and "C++ programming for Linux systems" isn't programming to you
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Don't get fooled by the picture that gets embedded with the link. Not the books on sale and there is some interesting stuff there from entry to expert level on various topics of... Yes I double checked and I can confidently call it "programming"!
