Born in 1821, Elizabeth Blackwell was determined to become a physician. But she was rejected from every med school she applied to bc she was a woman. She was finally admitted to Geneva College, but her acceptance letter was intended as a joke.

Dr. Blackwell was the first woman to receive an M.D. from a U.S. med school & championed women in medicine. Eventually, she opened a clinic, started a medical college for women & became a professor. cfmedicine.nlm.nih.gov/physici… #science #history #HistoryRemix

It's just bonkers that for eons women are told to take care of people, and then when they want to take care of people they're told "No, not like that" from misogynistic institutions.



Ubuntu flavours to drop Flatpak by default and stick to Snaps gamingonlinux.com/2023/02/ubun… #Ubuntu #Flatpak #Linux
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

On the topic of whether it's a "big deal" or not, I'm not so concerned about the OOBE, I'm sure Ubuntu's regular users will be fine either way. But there's a clear, Microsoft-level conflict of interest when you have a company pushing their own proprietary solution while excluding competing technologies of the same kind. It starts to stink of walled-garden mentalities that are mostly antithetical to the FOSS community.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

And I plan to drop Ubuntu by default and stick to Arch for computers and something not Red Hat or Ubuntu based for servers, maybe Debian or openSUSE...

Valve tricks Dota 2 cheaters and then bans 40,000 of them gamingonlinux.com/2023/02/valv… #Valve #Dota2 #Steam #BanHammer
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

cheaters, or "cheaters"? By running Linux "anti cheat" often labels you as a Cheater. Using accessible technology, often gets labeled as "cheating". And how much of the "anti-cheat" is on stuff where it is a matter of, "I just want to have my type of experience of this game," as it's not "real" competition. Most of it, as far as I can tell.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I'm dubious. Your explanation, of it being something they could see in the game by cheating, was reasonable. But their post suggests they are tracking merely reading from the program's memory space at all. I'm worried this would catch profilers, harmless video overlays, or even a simple `grep /dev/mem` for unrelated purposes.

I did not update a thing during my trip because I was busy and also managed to sprain my ankle while walking. I had a great time, though. Sold some books, saw old friends, made a new friend with a fellow author, played a really fun rpg with @nebunez and co, and came back Sunday, albeit later than I was supposed to because my flights got messed up, then jumped right back into work.

This little heathen doesn't want to leave my side since I returned. Clingyyyyy.

Gosh, I'm just the opposite. I focus so much on my own comfort that I'm terrible at being a functional adult. Which then takes its own toll on how I feel on a regular basis...it's a weird time.

Giant proteins in a giant cell: Molecular basis of ultrafast Ca2+-dependent cell contraction

"The evidence suggests that the GSBP-spasmin protein complex is the functional unit of the mesh-like contractile fibrillar system, which, coupled with various other subcellular structures, provides the mechanism for repetitive ultrafast cell contraction and extension."

I have to do this.

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.'

To all the stars!



Many stars are small, compared with our Sun (and others are much, *much* more massive). To reveal the smaller stars, @NASAWebb had to block the incredibly bright light from the crowded center of the cluster. The sky of a planet at the center would be bright and filled with stars!
