vemos crecientes oleadas de personas en movilidad buscando mejores condiciones de vida.
Una respuesta de algunos gobiernos ha sido militarizar sus fronteras, una medida que ha servido para criminalizar el derecho de movilidad bajo el disfraz de proteger la "Seguridad Nacional".

For fans of Linux, gaming on Linux, SteamOS, distribution news, hardware news and more!Telegram
Yeah, we think alike on THAT point. But where you find Telegram an acceptable compromise, I don't.
Prefer XMPP, even if, alas, some parts (XEP) of it don't evolve anymore.
If you really like the principles of the #Framework laptop, but their lineup doesn’t work for you, you need bigger hardware, a GPU, cheaper options or just more customization, then I have the next best thing!
They support #Linux, #CoreBoot, they have more laptops, and pretty much the same repairability as a Framework, without the generational upgrades:

I get that valve has a company structure that they like and don't want to force anyone to work on games they don't want to, but good grief would it kill them to hire someone to just implement some things the community is begging and pleading for?
One weapon per event and players would be sobbing with joy.

Dr. Gladys West grew up in 1930s VA. She had limited opportunities as a black girl in the south, but went on to become a mathematician.
In the 1950s, West helped program the Naval Ordnance Research Calculator. Later, she worked on modeling the shape of the Earth & helped develop satellite geodesy models, a foundation of GPS.
West was not formally credited for her work until 2018 when the VA General Assembly honored her contributions. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladys… #HistoryRemix #history #science

Good thread from Prachee Avasthi on Twitter about eLife's preprint review system ...
But to be provocative, above you described "a field dominated by strong opinions that make it hard to publish anything". But to anti-vaxxers, that is epidemiology. To creationists, that is evolutionary biology. It can be hard to distinguish consensus from disagreement when you're in the thick of it. Only way I see to distinguish the two is to design a system that encourages input on decisions from as many experts as possible
@foaylward
Yeah, one perspective here is if other experts were willing to spend time reviewing and responding to your work, that's because they see it as being serious science and worth responding to - a good thing, even if it gets really ugly! Few experts on molecular dating would waste time responding to anything here: answersingenesis.org/theory-of…
which on one hand means they spend most of their time on real science (good), but also means a lot of misinformation goes unanswered
Molecular Clock
Do studies that use mutation rates to calibrate a “molecular clock” confirm or deny the evolutionary model? Are the assumptions in such calibrations correct?Answers in Genesis

@penpot @penpot_app That's great to hear it's on your radar:)
FYI, in case you're unaware, streaming with live chat is also available in the latest releases of #peertube 😀
I would like to attend, and help spread the word, but it's unclear if the event will be accessible to people with health-related disabilities and other needs.
Do you know when the event's health & safety policies will be made available? Resources are available from @phpledge publichealthpledge.com/ if needed.
