"Anthony (Tony) Epstein, co-discoverer of the Epsteinโ€“Barr virus (EBV), was the founding father of research into the part that viruses play in the development of human cancers. Today, seven types of viral infection โ€” more than one of which can be prevented by vaccination โ€” are known to cause specific cancers in people. Collectively, virus-associated tumours account for up to 15% of cancer cases globally each year. Yet, when Epstein began his research in the early 1960s, the concept of a link between viruses and human cancer was deeply unfashionable. Epsteinโ€™s discovery has had an enormous influence on the direction of cancer research, from underlying mechanisms to new prospects for prevention."

An important distinction is slowly being uncovered about the definition of the term "fediverse." Who is it that gets to decide what this place is? How are we being represented? These are not easy questions to answer and if we don't do a better job describing ourselves, then the job will get done for us by people who don't understand the underlying values we hold. #fediverse #meta #threads

It looks like a stylized version of the pentagram, just simplified. It even has the same tilt.

Haha nice! I remember playing the prototype โค๏ธ
Looking forward to the release ๐Ÿ‘Œ


Just FYI, with Threads becoming part of the Fediverse, both this account and the one on Threads (threads.net/@gaming0nlinux) will stick.

I think giving people the option to directly follow on either platform is the best bet. Options are nice right?

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Hm I dont know. In the long run a third path might be to have an own fedi instance running on the gaming on linux infra and push to threads and the fedi.

Like @news@gamingonlinux.com that serves both with just the same account and at best the comments of the social media posting are shared with the comments on the GoL site.

I mean thats what the fediverse is all about - not to copy things all over the place, but post them once and find+react to them everywhere. :blobcatgooglyfingerguns:

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

It's not like you need to manage anything more then you do right now. I dont say you should set up a mastodon server ๐Ÿ˜
For example we have wordpress for now that just can act as fediverse instance and do essentially this and I imagine the services that provide this functionality to grow, once threads and tumblr are able to receive content from the fediverse.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

I do understand your point. However I dont know why you bring up mastodon now.
What I say is that "in future" (that is not right now for obvios reasons) there might be an opportunity to have an option to push to a lot more services via just one fediverse account. :blobcatgooglyfingerguns:
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

In the future the fediverse also includes threads, tumblr and probably even more that can be served just from a fediverse account.
This is not possible right now. Threads is currently only read-only from this side and tumblr not even integrated at all.

I just finished a piggy bank for my almost-two-year-old. It's made of solid oak, and opens with the correct 3 digit code. I designed the locking pins such that the code can easily be changed.

I'm pretty proud of how it turned out!



Did you know that #Germans have a LOT of #superstitions about #bread?

In the olden days, when bread was baked at home, bad luck would seep into the bread when one cursed while baking.

And if the loaf would be placed over the table's edge, sickness would soon enter the house.

A loaf placed upside down would sway, because the poor souls would try to turn it, & if the head of the house cut the bread crookedly, then he had just lied...

haha yeah that's the catch ๐Ÿ˜€

But no, you can make a soda bread (a traditional unyeasted bread) or offer the bread that failed to rise, but who knows what they'll think of that?



Putting all of my federated Threads accounts into a Mastodon list. And just like that, one of the benefits of Threads supporting the Fediverse is happening in real-time.

I now can view them all in one Mastodon list view TODAY, or add them to multiple lists TODAY, even while lists are a feature not yet here on Threads.

Fediverse Threads support for the win.

Several of us overly online biologists spent years quietly doing an experiment on Twitter, trying to find out if tweeting about new studies from a set of mid-range journals caused an increase in later citations, compared to set of untweeted control articles.

Turns out we had no noticeable effect; the tweeted papers were cited at the same rate as the control set.

Our paper, headed by Trevor Branch, was published today in PLOS One:

KDE Global Themes Are Inherently Unsafe #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/2pQnfQDROes
in reply to Brodie Robertson

the fact that on modern Linux still every executable runs with all the permissions of the user is kinda baffling.

The permission system is developed for multi-user systems where users don't trust each other but trust the software. On modern PCs, we have mostly only one user, but a bunch of random executables that we shouldn't have to trust with our whole drives.

Time for the year of the BSD desktop, anyone? ๐Ÿ˜

Fossil stingray (Cyclobatis sp.)
Upper Cretaceous. Approximately 100.5 million to 66 million years ago. When alive, this creature lived in warm, shallow seas and had a very short tail, which was fitted with a venomous stinger. Discovered in Haqil, Byblos, Lebanon. It just happens to look like an ancient space alien. #science #fossil #archeology #evolution #photo #nature #biology #wildlife
