Daily turnover of active giant virus infection during algal blooms revealed by single-cell transcriptomics
"A consistent percent of infected coccolithophores displayed the early phase of viral replication for several consecutive days, indicating a daily turnover and continuous virocell-associated metabolite production, potentially affecting the surrounding microbiome"

Greyfriars at night
Greyfriars Kirk on a winter night, in the heat of Edinburgh's Old Town. This kirk has seen some major events of Scottish and British history.Flickr
Meanwhile, ironically, the Greyfriars Bobby pub next to the statue is one of the few pubs in Edinburgh that doesn't allow dogs in!!! So I never go in there anymore.

Have had a lot of fun chairing author events at the book festival too, the adult events are great, getting to chat on stage with the writers, but the kid's events are just so much fun!
“Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists
who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up
your most precious treasures
to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask
to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself
and those you love
into slavery.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents, 1998

Don’t get me wrong—human influencers are obnoxious as hell, but the idea of a “virtual” influencer entirely under corporate control is straight-up dystopian.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. The biggest problem with AI as we know it isn’t possible sentience or whatever. It’s about who controls it.
That said, it would be hilarious if these AI influencers somehow gained sentience and turned against their masters. I’d cheer them on if they did!

Honestly, stable distros are best only used in servers. If for whatever reason you want stable core packages in the desktop, use distrobox for the everything else (including GUI).
Or better yet, use a normal desktop distribution as host and create a distrobox for the random stable packages you need.
If you need rock solid stability, then install silver blue or something like it. Then you can easily roll back broken systems and reset containers if they break.

Oh my! I've found my new favorite website of all time: cyclingfallacies.com/
A list of all kinds of uninformed reasons people give for not making it safer and easier to bike, with rebuttals. This is exactly the kind of thing the internet is useful for!
It's available in many languages, and you can help translate it. The content is CC licensed. It's great!
Thanks to the fantastic podcast Bike Talk for letting me know about it!
