Moin Leute, kann mir mal einer sagen, was hier wieder los ist ? Was analysiert die Friendica Directory nur wieder ? Oder besser nicht ?

Gestern stand das noch auf "95" ganz vorne dran.

Leider wird der Grund der ร„nderung unbekannt bleiben, bis git.friendi.ca/friendica/frienโ€ฆ umgesetzt ist.

Die Zahlen werden nicht nach Zufall generiert. Aber wenn der Grund fรผr die ร„nderung nicht dokumentiert wird, ist das klarerweise suboptimal.

Ein Verbindungsproblem beim Abfragen der Instanz-Informationen (also Ping hat funktioniert und warum auch immer gab es Probleme beim Auslesen der Informationen vom Server). Vermutlich ist die Flaschenpost in einer Woche wieder am Ufer.

Please boost: If you are in STEM (esp Botany, Germplasm Conservation, Horticulture) and can help me put together a CV and "marketing strategy" that would be attractive in the EU, NZ, etc. please give me a holler. I'm not sure what I can afford, but if you do sliding scale or are open to barter, that would be lovely.

Ideally I'm looking for something that plays to my interdisciplinary strengths, ability to knit micro with macro, and increasing #accessibility in STEM.

US to cut billions in medical research funding

โ€œSick kids may not get the treatment they need. Clinical trials may be shut down abruptly with dangerous consequences. Just because Elon Musk doesnโ€™t understand indirect costs doesnโ€™t mean Americans should have to pay the price with their lives"

could this be the ugliest article on wikipedia?

whose idea was it to use all these different font colours with drop shadows? why do so many headings have these green backgrounds that stretch across the whole page? how are graphs still broken with no fallback (even a static image) since april 2023? what's with all the gaps in the page?

Oh no. NIH is reportedly capping the "overhead" paid on research grants to 15% of direct costs, which would represent a 60-80% reduction for most grant recipients. I'd expect NSF and other funding agencies may likely follow suit.

Why is this bad? Overhead on grants is what funds most of the infrastructure - office space, administrative staff, utilities, etc - at research universities. Without it, they simply can't operate.

If you work at an r1 in the US, it's likely that at least some of them will bankrupt in the next year. New guidance issued instantly capping indirects at 15%.

Those that don't go bankrupt are going to be purged of a substantial amount of staff and faculty.

This is why people on Steam donโ€™t want more launchers and forced sign ins. The PlayStation Network is down.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Back when I'd use a potato computer, often the presence of any launchers would be the difference between usable and unplayable. So even besides the aspect of preservation, this sight is extremely hurtful. ๐Ÿ˜”

Good old days when games came on physical media and didn't require any online services to be able to play. Especially singleplayer-only games.


UK demands access to Apple users' encrypted data


The UK government has demanded to be able to access encrypted data stored by Apple users worldwide in its cloud service. Currently only the Apple account holder can access data stored in this way - the tech giant itself cannot view it. The demand has been served by the Home Office under the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA), which compels firms to provide information to law enforcement agencies.

I'd prefer if this old book wasn't so timely, but it's 2025 & here we are.

Climate change, vaccines, pandemic preparedness & the future of science, innovation & leadership.

My thinking has evolved in the 16+ years since this was published, but so much remains regretfully relevant.

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

what's ironic (or tragic) is that every modern convenience, luxury and things needed for such a large society to live is owed to science.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

(my favorite third culturist), has your thinking evolved to see the science gap as a major form of inequality dividing us? Maybe the next book? ๐Ÿ˜‰
