We made these by special request some time ago but Disability Pride month seemed like the perfect time to share them. We say it a lot but it's worth repeating, anyone can do science⁠

Interesting: *Vaginal Microbiota Transplantation (VMT)*

We're probably going to start seeing a lot more of this as we appreciate how microbiomes of different organs impact health and disease.

Personally the key is to have clinical measures of success, as here, not just measuring % of different species changing.

If I didn't spend so much time playing games on linux my hobby project robot would go around my house and bring me things on command and I would speak fluent German now. Thanks Valve for Steam and Proton... 😉


Updated our Steam Tracker with the Steam Survey results for June 2023: gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracke…

Small dip for Linux overall (-0.03%).

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

with the Deck selling out in the Summer sale, I wonder if it'll be noticeable in the next survey 🤔

A new blog-post: the two cultures of bioinformatics, and how academia selects against one philippbayer.github.io/blerg/p…
in reply to Frank Aylward

Yes, this is my approach in general. Unless I'm talking to people who do identify as bioinformaticians. As @gedankenstuecke said, a sort of code switching.

I think this points to a more general point that people who make their entire professional existance about a particular approach or technique are probably painting themselves into a corner that will hamstring their career. Whether this is bioinformatics, or something else.

#introduction
Hello everyone!
I’m an associate prof at Virginia Tech studying viral diversity. Lately my group has been focusing on giant viruses, but we are also interested in other protist viruses, and the role of viral endogenization in host genome evolution.
#GiantViruses #ViralDiversity #TreeOfLife #Protists #Microbiology #Bioinformatics #Evolution #Virology #Genomics
Recently we have been examining the strange and complex genes encoded in giant virus genomes!

Studying some phage genes with scattered, partial alignments in varying degrees (40~+90%) of ID against closely related cousins (~93% ANI).

I'm thinking intragenic insertion/shuffling - but what kind of signals could I look for here? Common scars? Models to reference? #phage #bioinformatics #genomics

It's truly hilarious to me that some people are really getting butthurt over my shit-posting on Twitter about the rate limits. Telling me here I'm a "jerk" for joking about it in tweets.

Get a sense of humour jeez.

Apparently this machine was used by architects in the 70s and 80s to draw with light using the position of a pen. Does anyone know what it is called? Do they still exist?
in reply to Fionnáin

When EPCOT first opened there was a kiosk where you could draw with a light pen on a CRT.

@haverholm not for me, I find them too unwieldy. I love their aesthetic though.


Happy Enshittification Day! 💥

July 1, 2023: Reddit cuts off API access, Twitter requires login, Youtube may ban ad-blockers, Meta & Google block news in Canada...

A half-year since Cory Doctorow's seminal thesis on #enshittification, how corporate platforms die (pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/pot…), and every corporate site seems hell bend on its own destruction.

Celebrate #EnshittificationDay by going to [instance address]/about, find the donations link, and make your contribution to open social media!

the ida that they were always #dotcons has been around for 20 years... So this hashtag is a little late ;)


Hope you enjoy how much I am apparently pissing people off on Twitter about the rate limits. 😈
