BEWARE of a most likely MALICIOUS Liblast "fork":
codeberg.org/pigeon54353/Libre…
This person has faked "evidence" to support a ridiculous claim about Liblast (which is verifiably false).
The person has also created fake issue tickets and tried to pull developer's attention to a supposed vulnerability (which makes no sense either and had no substance provided).
Don't let this person deceive you. We don't know what their agenda is yet, but they are certainly malicious.

On the culture of open access: the Sci-hub paradox
Shadow libraries, also known as ''pirate libraries'', are online collections of copyrighted publications that have been made available for free without the permission of the copyright holders.arXiv.org
From the abstract:
> without proposing a credible and sustainable alternative model for the dissemination of scientific knowledge.
What makes SciHub not a credible and sustainable alternative?
@madhadron I think because it does not fund the costs of editorial and production labor.
Which is not to say that corporate publishing is any better. But there are lots of OA journals hosted and funded by universities, and it would be nice if they got some incentive in comparison to paywalled journals.

For kitchen scientists.
All fermentation practices are different, we don't all use the same jars, we don't all ferment the same quantities, and some even explore bacteria or mycelium cultures from the angle of art, design or technological development.
That's why we've also put the fermenter technology into a bigger box, allowing for more advanced practice. We call it the Domingo Fermenter Lab.

The surprisingly radical roots of Renaissance Fairs.
Every year, the roughly 200 Renaissance fairs and festivals held across the United States and abroad attract several million visitors. United by their raucous entertainment, elaborate costumes and setting in the distant past, these outdoor events boast a surprising backstory.
The Surprisingly Radical Roots of the Renaissance Fair
The first of these festivals debuted in the early 1960s, serving as a prime example of the United States' burgeoning countercultureGillian Bagwell (Smithsonian Magazine)

I like the paintings and the music of the Renaissance era. It's always fun dressing up! I dislike playing at being kings, queens, lords and ladies.
These days I would probably play the fellow from Monty Python and the Holy Grail who said, “Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.”

Just finished Fionna & Cake, the new Adventure Time series on Max.
I just love how creative, fun, weird & interesting this whole universe is & how it explores themes with interesting characters we don’t usually get to see on tv.
Any other fans out there?
haven’t started Fiona & Cake yet, but completed the original series last year as well as the HBO content.
Love the weirdness.
