The new study "Into the Blue: Exploring #genetic mechanisms behind the #evolution of #baleenwhales," explores key genetic adaptations of these diverse #whale species around #oceans—giving new insights into risks and opportunities for their survival. The study looks at intriguing mammals—from gigantism of largest blue and fin whales, to diving and migratory abilities of other whales: including humpbacks, minkes & gray.

It's pretty crazy Valve can give a game a Steam Deck Playable rating, give it a special banner on the Steam page to note it's a most-played game on Steam Deck....and then the developer can just add anti-cheat, not enable it and tell people it was never officially supported huh?

Google and Microsoft recently admitted their emissions are soaring as they build out data centers to power the AI boom.
But new analysis from The Guardian suggests the data center emissions of Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Apple are 662% higher than the companies reporting.

Initial temperature check for #Socialcoop members:
What would you think of enabling members to have [user].social.coop as their handles for Bluesky?
This would require no data storage or throughput from us, just a DNS record: bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-20…
How to set your domain as your handle - Bluesky
Using a domain as your handle helps with account identity, verification, and portability. Here's how to set your domain as your handle.Bluesky
- Love it, I would use it (16%, 2 votes)
- Fine, I guess (58%, 7 votes)
- I have reservations (reply below) (8%, 1 vote)
- Definitely not (16%, 2 votes)
My own perspective is that I think this could be a low-hanging way for Social.coop to become cross-platform and to explore what it means to have a cooperative presence on ATProto/Bluesky. It would also advertise our collective existence there.
Personally, not sure I'd use it, as I already use my personal domain (@ntnsndr.in) on Bluesky.

Love how you're making the videos available on a decentralized, community-run platform like Peertube, in alignment with your stated values!
Even better is how you've continued to engage with the community on this issue rather than just ignoring it and funneling users onto centralized surveillance platforms like YouTube! Way to go!

#Nextcloud #Hub9 #Peertube #Youtube #FOSS #Google #Privacy #Decentralization
Why did you mention the "Nextcloud Social" app as an example of your commitment to the values of decentralization and federation, when you made it into abandonware by changing app interfaces and destroying it with a Nextcloud upgrade?
That sends the opposite message: that you hate decentralized and federated services, and that if anyone tries to integrate any social or federated apps with Nextcloud, you will destroy their hard work.

I was not expecting GTA V to get that treatment. But having seen the amount of cheating on GTA V, it is justified. I myself always played with Closed Friends Session to keep cheaters out.

Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)sharkcheese
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮 • • •It won't solve it directly, but if win32 games are forced to abandon proprietary kernel anti-cheat in place of some kind of standardized Windows API, then potentially that API could be implemented on Linux/Wine.
A lot of other things need to fall in place for that to happen, though. I've been wondering what Valve were going to do about this for a while, I've speculated that maybe SteamOS could ship with a signed kernel, secure boot, remote attestation and run games in secure VMs?
