Will FOSS drama ever cease?

Despite being advertised as a community-driven project, key decisions, including financial management, partnerships (with Kayak, for instance), and the inclusion of proprietary components in the code

As a result, many contributors teamed up and forked the project, establishing CoMaps

Viruses that roam the fungal kingdom knowablemagazine.org/content/aโ€ฆ

"today, scientists researching fungal #viruses are enjoying a golden age of discovery... finding all sorts of weird and wonderful interactions between #fungi and their viruses and even between fungal viruses and #plants or #animals. Most fungal viruses donโ€™t seem to do much of anything to their hosts, but others cause sickness or offer surprising benefits."



The End (of Windows 10) is nigh!

On 14 October, #Microsoft will end support for #Win10.

This will turn hundreds of millions of computers that cannot upgrade to #Win11 into security risks and #eWaste.

Yours may be one of them!

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

We did a mock expansion draft for the PWHL on our hockey podcast this week. I think it turned out really well and was super fun. Would love it if everyone gave it a listen! Neutral Zone Hotel is available on most podcasts platforms.

Students Angry Over AI

The issues werenโ€™t just shady finances or random ego-driven decisions, but a total U-turn from why maps.me was even forked. Those alleged Russian military ties? Of course, totally denied - facts, names, and geography donโ€™t matter. Questions got deleted, devs got defensive, and whatever moral compass there was flew straight into the bin. Good app, shame about... literally everything else behind it.
in reply to It's FOSS

That's quite an article. Very worrying. Too bad the authors didn't provide links or structural evidence backing up their claims. And I don't want to waste my time on a goose chase.

Valve give Steam developer and publisher pages a little extra visibility gamingonlinux.com/2025/05/valvโ€ฆ

#Steam #Gaming #GameDev #PCGaming



This new editorial in Nature is a bit naive. There *is* a pivot penalty, and it has lots of negative side effects. However, you cannot simply wish it away. The incentive schemes in academia are products of business model of modern, tuition/endowment-hungry university system. So long as visibility drives revenue, researchers will be incentivized to maximize visibility over scientific impact.

Researchers who โ€˜pivotโ€™ into new fields should not be given a citation penalty

RFK Jr's "MAHA" report came out last week. It misinterpreted data, had broken links to some citations, and cited 7 articles that don't exist. That last one is a hallmark of AI hallucinations. How much of the MAHA report was AI generated? ๐Ÿค” www.notus.org/health-scien...

Um nochmal die #fediverse und #mastodon Diskussion von der #rp25 rund um das Thema "Sichtbarkeit und Reichweite" aufzunehmen. Was haltet ihr von der Idee, das Anlegen von "Frontpages fรผrs Fediverse" als Feature anzubieten? Also eine webbasierte Funktion zum Kuratieren von Posts in einem HTML Interface als "Zubringer" fรผr Interessierte und Neulinge? Hab mir mal einen hรคsslichen PoC gevibecodet - und dank API ist das ja eigentlich gut machbar.
PS Nein, da soll keine Werbung drauf ๐Ÿ™„

Was wรคre der Unterschied zur Explore-Seite die Besucher als Erstes sehen?
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Meine Idee wรคre, dass jeder, der einen Account hat, eine eigene, themen- und interessenspezifische Explore-Seite anlegen und kuratieren und z.B. in seinen Blog einbinden kann. Die hรคtten dann durchaus auch Interesse an der Promotion dieser Inhalte und damit der Mastodon-Inhalte auรŸerhalb des Netzwerks.

nice idea, but doesnโ€™t work that well on a Raspberry Pi Os sadly (yet at least)

what would be interesting to see is if there's cross-compatibility across the 2.
