Valve continue expanding Counter-Strike 2 now its released, and the latest update overhauls the community map system along with enabling it again in the Steam Workshop. We've also seen quite a big drop in players overall.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
My latest preprint exploring transposable element (TE) activity in the genomes of sparrows.
biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/…
We found remarkably high levels of repeat content in the newly generated genomes of
Bell's, Song, and Savannah Sparrow. 31% of the Bell's sparrow genome is spanned by repetitive elements.
This is ~3x as much as previously reported in most songbirds.
Thanks to all my co-authors for their contributions to this project!

Remarkably high repeat content in the genomes of sparrows: the importance of genome assembly completeness for transposable element discovery.
Transposable elements (TE) play critical roles in shaping genome evolution. However, the highly repetitive sequence content of TEs is a major source of assembly gaps.bioRxiv

Synth genius Wendy Carlos studied physics & music at Brown & Columbia. She helped develop the 1st Moog synthesizer & her 1968 classical album Switched-On Bach went platinum. She brought #music & tech together & composed soundtracks for A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Tron & more.
Carlos was assigned male at birth & transitioned to female. Unfortunately, many journalists focus more on her gender than her accomplishments that changed music forever. wendycarlos.com

I gotta say, the Keynote presentation I gave for the North Carolina Marine Debris Symposium today has been one of my most enjoyable talks this year!
Many thanks to the organizing committee for having me and for their encouragement to weave in my personal story about getting into science, plastics research, and science communication.
Looking forward to the other awesome opportunities to discuss with local NC community members, scientists, and policy makers this week.
Songtradr fired half the staff at bandcamp, and that signals a dark future for bandcamp as a company.
So we're going to do something about it:

@djsundog and I are launching a project to build federated, open source, #bandcamp alternative.
We're building this because we need it. We're doing it ourselves because it will become a part of the larger media production and distribution ecosystem we have planned.
We welcome other open source projects, and we might even contribute to a few of them, but for the next several months, this is our full time gig.

I know that some of you all wondered what happened to Merlin Star after they closed their public account on Mastodon.
Well, they recently posted this: merlinjstar.com/2023/10/24/thi…
Seems they aren't doing as well as hoped. They also gave mutual aid links at the end of the blog post.
Anyways, donate if you can, boost if you can't.
