My latest piece in America Magazine lays bare the extent to which US government policy seems to be going in outright opposition to decades of Catholic teaching—particularly on climate, war, and civil discourse. Catholics, we cannot participate in this: americamagazine.org/short-take…

So, my #microbiology homies, specially those doing #fungi research, are there any blogs, newsletters or mastodon accounts I should be following?

I am now working at a biotech finding useful compounds produced in fungi and want to learn more and keep up to date with what's happening. In the field. #bioinformatics focused but the bio bit is quite important.

Cheers!



My first long run after about 4 weeks of rehab due to achilies injury. It all went uneventful and I'm happy with the results despite much lower pace and elevated HR.

28km total and my new video is also out: youtu.be/6ZR6tG6Af9I

There's no official #GoogleDrive app for #Linux ... But do you even need one?

There are excellent, powerful Linux alternatives for Drive that get you better #dataprivacy and transparency. Nextcloud is one of them 💙

thanks for the reminder that I need to remove Nextcloud from my network since you integrate with and use "AI" in the product. Privacy is not enough without ethics.


Stillness and radical presence: Mercurial Cycles mix and an album revisited, from Hüma Utku.

cdm.link/stillness-and-radical…

It's tough to find music that can be comforting without being escapist, that fits the moment. Hüma Utku's mix and album for me fit that perfectly. Essential.

in reply to peter KIRN

damn, that's excellent, thanks for the recomendation. The song at 15:30 is especially nice

Universal stack operations using Uxn primitives - Wim Vanderbauwhede:

An editor from a Springer Nature journal, a company that posted $2.1 billion in revenue in 2022 [1], from an industry with double-digit percent profits (~30% [2]), kindly asked me, an academic in the UK where salaries continue to plummet [3], whether I would be pleased to review a paper for them, for free ... so I kindly asked whether they would consider paying me. It is only logical.

[3] In UK academia, "Pay has fallen significantly in real terms since 2009, as have pension contributions, and redundancies are rife. Short-term contracts and precarious work arrangements are common, especially for younger staff, as universities struggle to balance their books." telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/01/2…

what's your go-to "fidget" or ~1-minute distraction when some task is running (like, you're waiting for something to compile)?
in reply to Fionnáin

@ephemeral whoa, the harmonica sounds so fun! 😀

i don't really have anything good, but trying to think of something (would need to be pretty quiet though)

in reply to katherine

harmonica is the bee's knees. I always have a couple of instruments dotted around my studio or home office, but yeah sound is not ok everywhere.

Blu-tak or plasticene are great for just fiddling with. I also do string figures: isfa.org/sfotm/sfotm_2013.htm

If you can't tell from this, my energy is a bit manic and fidgets are my punctuation.

Update on the Colorado Age Attestation bill: Everyone that participated in the meeting last week submitted proposed changes to the bill. They included good ideas to improve consumer protection and privacy and exempt open source software.

Sen. Ball responded this morning that they'll now draft potential amendments.

I think we're making good progress. I'm off for a ski weekend with the kids. Have a great weekend everyone!

Proving to a website that you are human by carrying out a mechanical task feels a bit like forcing rats or birds to prove their intelligence by performing human-like feats.



#Görlitz for #FensterFreitag 👁️

I imagine this is how @RiversideBryan@social.lol is eyeing us Pixelfed peeps right now. 😅 His account migration triggered a rare bug, so now he sees all our posts and interacts with them, but we can't see his posts, likes, or comments (or his profile, for that matter). 🙄😔
He hasn't forsaken us, we just can't see him jumping and waving back in Florida. The Big Chief is on it! 🤞

Good news! The final ENTSO-E report into the Spain blackout is out A complex stew of different factors, but "too much solar" is simply not even among them, let alone a major component. As always: the narrative built by fossil/nuke advocates was wrong www.entsoe.eu/news/2026/03...
in reply to Ketan Joshi

What is going to happen now is that a bunch of journalists are going to Ctrl + F "solar", screenshot what they find, and without understanding what they're looking at present it under a headline that'll look something like FINAL REPORT SHOWS SOLAR WAS TO BLAME FOR DEADLY BLACKOUT APOCALYPSE
in reply to Ketan Joshi

The big talking point that emerged DURING the blackout, led in particular by Bloomberg's Javier Blas, was that over-reliance on solar resulted in low 'system inertia' (the heartbeat of the grid). Others, such as a prominent Norwegian nuke advocate, helped spread it. it was COMPLETELY WRONG

OpenTTD devs clarify store changes with Transport Tycoon Deluxe re-release as Atari contribute server funding gamingonlinux.com/2026/03/open…

#TransportTycoonDeluxe #Atari #OpenTTD #Gaming

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

> "[...]but I want to reassure OpenTTD fans that we have not been “pressured” by Atari to make these changes."

This seems a bit weird. Are we to believe that the OpenTTD devs just happily chose to put someone else's paywall on the game?

Like, I can imagine why this might be considered a fair an reasonable outcome, but obviously it is not a win for OpenTTD. Its a decision that surely must be the result of implicit pressure. Right?

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

given how this could have gone for openTTD, this does seem like a pretty good arrangement.

@nextcloud Hello. I’m working with an immigrant organizing group that wants to have access to files/messaging on servers outside of US jurisdiction. We looked into NextCloud, but it’s a little confusing… can we do that on the free level? If so, how many users and what functions/applications are available?
in reply to Jeremy le fou

hey there! There are options to use Nextcloud with a provider, including free simple sign-up options: nextcloud.com/sign-up/

You can find the details about the offers by each provider via link. If you need more storage and users, you will need to use paid hosting or host Nextcloud yourself.



Dear #NextCloud

Is there any way to prevent these system tag messages from making Activity useless? 😅

in reply to teledyn 𓂀

hey there! Please post your question here: help.nextcloud.com/

The forum is the best place to get help with using our apps, from Nextcloud community and developers. Good luck!





I couldn't be more excited to announce something I've been working on for a long time -

Please welcome Belltower House Artist Residency, a multidisciplinary gift of time in my erstwhile home in southern New Mexico, now accepting applications for 2026.

in reply to everest

This home has been such a gift to me over the years, and I'm so excited to see it serve as a creative refuge for others. I find living and working here to be productive, peaceful, and deeply affirming.
in reply to everest

Applications are being accepted for both spring and fall 2026, but the spring sessions are very soon- so we're likely going to keep it word of mouth / friends of friends as we get off the ground. Please share with those who you think might benefit from the space and time. belltowerhouse.org/
