Protests in Guatemala Shut Down the Country for More Than a Week
The country continues toward a constitutional crisis as the far-right continues its attempts to subvert the August 20 electoral result.
by Jeff Abbott October 13, 2023
The crumbling, pothole-filled highways and roads across Guatemala have been shut down, blocked, and barricaded by protesters for more than a week . These protests in defense of democracy and against the country’s embattled Attorney General María Consuelo Porras, and her anti-impunity prosecutor Rafael Curruchiche, show no sign of slowing down, despite the threats of the deployment of riot police and the violence from groups that have infiltrated the protests...
Unlike the January 6 riots in the United States and the January 8 riots two years later in Brazil, (which sought to undermine the democratic order) Guatemala’s massive protests have spread in defense of democracy. Protests have remained peaceful and joyous amidst moments of tension.

Diablo 4 now Steam Deck Verified before launch but no Steam keys for Battle.net buyers
Good news if you plan to dive into Diablo 4 with the Steam release coming on October 17th, as it has been Steam Deck Verified. There's some bad news if you already purchased it on Battle.net though.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
they did it once for Destiny 2 if I'm not mistaken, when Bungie announced they were moving from Bnet to Steam.
you don't even need extra keys, just make it so that when you link your Bnet with Steam, you get the game on your Steam. but this seems like it's just a shady practice by ActiBlizz to get more money for users that want to play on Steam.

Highlight: Unlocking the Ancient Origins of Cell Death
"They propose that early protoeukaryotes were predators, relying on bacterial prey. These bacteria, in response to predation, produced toxins as a defense mechanism. Over time, these bacteria were domesticated to serve as mitochondria within eukaryotic cells, and their toxins evolved into apoptotic factors. "

Hey @helpers or any helpful #Friendica users. I'm trying to understand the difference between Categories and Hashtags.
From what I'm seeing, categories never leave the server, but hashtags do get federated out. They kind of look the same in the timeline, with hashtags having a lightning bolt, and categories being green with "X's" that allow you to remove them.
So why choose one over the other? Or why combine them?
Thanks!
Categories makes my public profile feel a little bit more sorted and i consider it bad that categories are not federated in any way.
Yet, anybody who visits my profile on my site can filter my posts accordingly, that's enough for me to use it

Born in 1896, Ida Noddack was the first scientist to suggest the principle behind nuclear fission. But Otto Hahn demonstrated this (with Lise Meitner! & Fritz Strassmann) & he won the Nobel prize.
Noddack also discovered rhenium (atomic #75) & predicted #43, but couldn’t confirm it experimentally, so Segrè & Perrier were later credited.
She tried to speak up that the ideas for fission & #43 began with her, but it lost her credibility. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi… #HistoryRemix #history #science
