In regards to Linux players getting banned on Apex Legends again, it continues and EA Support has simply told people the usual "the ban sticks". Have reached out to EA for answers as this is the second time it's happened.

Linux players getting banned on Apex Legends again
As a little PSA word of warning, it seems EA / Respawn have begun another little ban wave or they've tweaked something in their anti-cheat that Linux / Steam Deck players are getting caught in for Apex Legends.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
This sink drain is in the vet clinic. Because the surgery alone cost me over E 1000 (which I don't have yet), I put a Goal on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/naturematchcuts/goal… You can help by buying me a #coffee or caffeine 😉 as you wish!

Roles of ciliary tubulin PTMs in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
The cytoskeletal core of cilia and flagella, called the axoneme, is composed of microtubules (MTs), the dynamics of which can be dramatically influenced by post-translational modifications (PTMs) to tubulin C-terminal tails.The Company of Biologists

The problems with our media in one headline
“Climate activist Tom Steyer.”
While Reuters doesn’t call Manchin or Koch or Uihlein or Wilks or Murdoch activists for fossil fuels.
Just endless headlines attacking people trying to do good, while coddling corrupt actors who do selfish things. It’s maddening.

Sokuba's experienced crew was fired by its new owner to be replaced by a cheaper one of dubious provenance. The only survivor related scenes of panic, hate and violence soon after departure. Many perished in there, while others jumped into the cold space.

We are three weeks into our social events at ^
Each week has been a surprise, as we have created a stage of a wake for Benbo Mountain with an invited artist hosting each. New and old faces arrive every event, and unexpected conversations surface.
The final two events will be next Thursday (hosted by writer Donal O'Kelly and farmer James Gilmartin) and the following one (hosted by jeweller Soraya Ricalde and artist Fiona Mulholland).

Introducing Bark! Low-latency multi-receiver live-sync lossless audio streaming for local networks. It's like Sonos, but open source, so nobody can brick your devices remotely. It's also written in Rust 😀
It sends 48khz uncompressed float32 data over UDP multicast. It can achieve playback sync to within hundreds of microseconds in ideal conditions, and usually to within a millisecond.
I've been working on it in my spare time over the past week, and I'm pretty happy with how it's shaped up. I have three receivers setup and it works remarkably well at keeping everything in sync as I walk around my house. For now it only really works on Linux, and supports Pipewire (and Pulse in theory), but there's no huge impediment to making it truly cross-platform.
It also features a fancy live stats subcommand, which can used on any computer in the same multicast domain to watch the status of the stream cluster:

“Shedding the hectic energy #Twitter had conditioned me to was an adjustment, but it definitely made life better. And watching the vandalism wreaking havoc on the place formerly known as Twitter makes building so very satisfying. #Science #Mastodon doesn’t even need to grow to be great. But it sure looks like it’s going to.”

I was really hoping Andrew Huberman and his crowd would come to Mastodon.
That hope was kind of dashed when he published a picture of a friend celebrating a birthday with Elon Musk.
