Kraken2 with NCBI-NT says these reads are fish reads.
I doubt that as I can spot simple repeats! Always look at your data!

@foaylward another possibility: these are the R1 reads and I ran kraken2 in paired mode.
I haven't looked at the R2!! That's for tomorrow

Thankfully that has only happened to me once (Dragons and Titans). Being late to the whole Steam thing, I started out buying a ton of games, and for a long time I maintained a consistent 50% of my Steam library unplayed.

I also try to play the oldest games first, so I have a few years of backlog. Plus I bought most of the games on sale, so already not the newest when I bought them.

Too bad with Dragons and Titans, of the three MOBAs I have (Dota 2, Awesomenauts and D&T), it was the one I liked the most.

After a few decades trying to work with the traditional system to reform scientific publishing, several charities have given up, realizing that the multinational oligopoly of Elsevier et al. and conservative prestigious journals have too much of a stranglehold over scholarship to give up their profiteering ways. science.org/content/article/boโ€ฆ #openaccess

Still need to do the one wing, finish the eye, add a right back leg, then lots of little details.

This is really freaking me out right now! I think it is just part of @pop_os_official doing a software update, and Pop never adopted the backdoored versions, but still.

When I post about #science & #history, I tend to highlight the trailblazers we donโ€™t usually read or hear about in #HistoryRemix.

But tonight I want to share this beautifully composed piece about Nikola Tesla.

While his inventions are legendary, you may not know how Teslaโ€™s OCD shaped his approach to science & ultimately led to his world-changing ideas. It also left him isolated & alone. But he still experienced deep connection by caring for birds. nautil.us/teslas-pigeon-460446โ€ฆ

in reply to NiceMicro

@nicemicro Here's another example, if you setup a stand that has free fruit on it, the people taking the fruit should not be under the false assumption that you're doing anything more than offering free fruit, if there happens to be no fruit that day or a poor selection of fruit unless they want to start paying you for the fruit there concerns only matter as much as you care about them
in reply to Brodie Robertson

@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.onli.ne Yes. I did not argue with that, even for a second.

The only thing I said is that in your analogy, you shouldn't be surprised that someone took half the oranges and made a lot of money on orange juice without giving anything back to the community.

My argument is, that if as a dev you are concerned for the community, stipulate a license that stipulates that the orange juice one makes of the free orange should also be free.

That looks tempting. I've been almost exclusively gaming on my SteamDeck lately, and that doesn't seem like a game that would pair well with it, just from a form factor perspective. Am I misjudging it?
