SteamFork is yet another Linux distribution aiming to be a SteamOS-like for handhelds

Attack of the clones! Well, sort of anyway. We have Bazzite, ChimeraOS, HoloISO and now SteamFork as well. There's so much choice to get Linux on your handhelds.

I don't aspire to be a writer. If someone wants to write for any reason, fine by me.
There is , as you say, nothing wrong with the process being easier or harder for an individual.
A person with the 'gift' of being able to put words to the page, especially for something like a writing challenge, is to be admired. But it does seem like showing off, more than 'intentional writing'.
Using AI ( or just another persons work ) to generate the required number of words to complete the challenge is not the same. It's almost like seeking the participation award is the point.

LexicMap: efficient sequence alignment against millions of prokaryotic genomes

biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20…

'We introduce LexicMap, a nucleotide sequence alignment tool for efficiently querying moderate length sequences (> 500 bp) such as a gene, plasmid or long read against up to millions of prokaryotic genomes. '

Should be good for amplicons and #eDNA too???

I actually think the man is an extraordinary, loving and compassionate person. There he was, in a playground alone, having fun swinging on a swing. That's very wonderful. He sees No.1 out there all alone, with no one. He can relate. He takes her to a nice bench and places her up on it, beside him - not leaving her on the ground. To express even more compassion, he places his arm around No. I as he's drinking from his cup, perhaps warm coffee from a thermos. He has class - drinking from a real ceramic cup, not plastic, paper or Styrofoam. Along with class, he's concerned about the environment, and plastic pollution.
I think he's very handsome. I like his hat, and his shirt. Perhaps he has sewn the knee patches on his jeans. It doesn't mean he's poor or homeless. He likes those jeans and is thrifty. My kind of guy. I would happily sit beside him.

Heartbreak has turned to rage in Israel. Can Benjamin Netanyahu survive the biggest challenge to his rule?


"Israelis are once again venting their anger over the failure of the government to reach a deal to release the hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza.

"Hundreds of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets across the country over the past couple days, with some gathering outside the homes of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the US embassy. The first nationwide strike since last October’s Hamas attack also brought the country to a standstill.

"The spark for the protests was the discovery of the bodies of six hostages who had been executed by Hamas shortly before Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) located them. On Monday, Netanyahu issued a rare apology to the families."

Heartbreak has turned to rage in Israel. Can Benjamin Netanyahu survive the biggest challenge to his rule?

The mass protests are evidence that many in Israel feel abandoned by their government. Yet, Netanyahu is unlikely to shift course.
