Desmond is good at giving me the bereft Victorian waif look. He sits a distance away from the door staring at me. His eyes are wide and his head tips to one side. "But why? Why, mumma are you leaving me all alone in the cold cold house?"

I think he's very handsome. I like his hat, and his shirt. Perhaps he has sewn the knee patches on his jeans. It doesn't mean he's poor or homeless. He likes those jeans and is thrifty. My kind of guy. I would happily sit beside him.

Heartbreak has turned to rage in Israel. Can Benjamin Netanyahu survive the biggest challenge to his rule?
"Israelis are once again venting their anger over the failure of the government to reach a deal to release the hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza.
"Hundreds of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets across the country over the past couple days, with some gathering outside the homes of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the US embassy. The first nationwide strike since last October’s Hamas attack also brought the country to a standstill.
"The spark for the protests was the discovery of the bodies of six hostages who had been executed by Hamas shortly before Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) located them. On Monday, Netanyahu issued a rare apology to the families."

Heartbreak has turned to rage in Israel. Can Benjamin Netanyahu survive the biggest challenge to his rule?
The mass protests are evidence that many in Israel feel abandoned by their government. Yet, Netanyahu is unlikely to shift course.The Conversation

La fulminante privatización de la investigación en inteligencia artificial
En 2010, las compañías privadas poseían solo el 11% de los modelos más potentes de IA. Una década más tarde ya estaban en sus manos el 96% de los grandes modelos de IA. Alrededor del 70% de los doctorados recalan en el sector privado

A team of scientists from the University of Bristol recently released research that pushed the date of our Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) back to about 4.2 billion years ago.
This suggests that the life that is in each of us, and in each of the organisms that make up our very large extended family, runs in an unbroken chain backward for 4.2 billion years.
That’s a pretty considerable investment by the universe in every living thing.
Perhaps we should reflect on that a little more as we continue to muck around on this planet.
It might be time to start fitting in.

Some material experiments with mycelium substrate growing in sawdust and flour, to make fungi sculptures from moulds.
I am using a proprietary mix from the Dutch company Kineco kineco.bio/, although I know I can potentially make this myself with some spores and sawdust.
Will report back in about 7 days with whatever comes of these.

Eugen Rochko reshared this.
@Gargron This article is based off of information that was originally making rounds in 2016. In 8 years since, there was never **any concrete evidence** showing that they can actually do this. None.
Considering that adtech is rife with fraud (to the tune of $billions swindled from advertisers annually), a more likely explanation is that this is just a bunch of grifters with a pitch deck looking to score off of gullible advertisers.

What is this marketing though?
Like gtfo, you're building off of Valve's work, you even reference Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher and claim that SteamOS is 'Compatible with Steam only' and 'Locked to the Valveverse' like what?
I'm not even saying that a gaming distro not tied to Valve's ecosystem is a bad thing, but the desperation to paint SteamOS as on par with Windows is absurd.
