By expanding taxon coverage to 10 horseshoe bat species, we identify new variants of SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2, & report convergent functionally important residues that could explain wider patterns of susceptibility across mammals. nature.com/articles/s41559-025โ€ฆ #biodiversity #genomics


Let us make it clear to the People - this is not cost cutting. This is destruction of American institutions built over decades, this is vandalism, this is revenge firing of skilled employees and expertise.

Real cost cutting requires planning, financial analysis, transparency, dialogue and surgical instruments, not machetes.

This is a hostile takeover of the U.S. govt. by a bunch of wealthy lunatics, who are seeking power and wealth for themselves and no one else.

Can I get a sanity check on something?
If you're reviewing a new handheld gaming device like the Legion Go S, would you benchmark it against other handhelds like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally, or, say, a bunch of expensive gaming laptops instead?

Because that's what PC World did, and I'm equal parts baffled and angry.

in reply to Jason Evangelho ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽ’

i saw that windows central didn't include the steam deck in their's either, sure it's not a windows device....but it's literally the most popular

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

@gamingonlinux Wow. And you have to assume they have one.
As far as this review goes, I mean, at least pick ONE handheld to compare it against that isn't twice as expensive, doesn't have a dedicated GPU, and doesn't consume 5x the power? ๐Ÿ˜’
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

@gamingonlinux even if you want to raise objections about not a Windows device, you absolutely CAN rock a Deck as a Windows device. When it launched, a lot of people did exactly that, reflexively, before everybody figured out "this thing is actually great the way it ships."

Trumpโ€™s #NIH challenges the model that underlies U.S. scientific dominance
The 80-year-old partnership between the federal government and research institutions has made the U.S. the leader in scientific innovation. But now a proposed funding cut threatens the arrangement.
Although it is framed as a simple cost-cutting move, it is part of aggressive actions from the administration that have shaken the scientific and medical establishment.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

I've used Fedora a bit since Arch became too tedious for my extremely occasionally usage and the one thing that stood out to me as being legit bad was the packaging landscape. Felt like everything I wanted to do required a different repo and the whole process was completely opaque at the UI "package manager" level.

Feels very much a situation based on what suits the devs rather than users. And this seems to be the same!
