Unsolicited opinion: If #Mastodon wants to be a part of the #Fediverse that encourages small #selfhosted instances to be part of the whole, then it has to be a lean system able to be installed on second-hand/hand-me-down hardware and it should run reasonably well.

ElasticSearch/Java is a barrier to that. It is a huge memory hog compared to the rest of the system.

Here's proof, for those amenable to that kind of thing. It's good to remind folks that the air is already full of more plastic than they could ever hope to inhale from a proper filtering facepiece:

"On the basis of these findings, a conclusion can be drawn that N95 respirators can mitigate fiber-like microplastic inhalation from the air even when they are used for a long time."

British geneticist and plant anatomist Edith Rebecca Saunders was born #OTD in 1865.

She is best as known as the "Mother of British Plant Genetics": she played an active role in the re-discovery of Mendel's laws of heredity, the understanding of trait inheritance in plants. She also developed extensive work on flower anatomy, particularly focusing on the gynoecia, the female reproductive organs of flowers.

Elon Musk has been promising a transport revolution for a decade.

His Cybercab event repeated a ton of the lines he’s used to justify those failed projects over the years, with no concrete details for how he’ll realize the robotaxi one either. There’s no reason to believe he’ll deliver.

i rarely give apple credit for much but they're at least the opposite of events like this, they only hold them when they have an already finished product with a firm ship date, and they don't talk about anything that's far enough out that it might not happen.
horrifying that anyone still gets this much benefit of the doubt from media and the larger industry, those stock price drops should have been way larger. guy's reality distortion field has got to give out at some point.

#Quotes

Devemos deixar evidências. Evidências de que estivemos aqui, de que existimos, de que sobrevivemos, amamos e sofremos. Evidências da totalidade que nunca sentimos e da imensa sensação de plenitude que demos um ao outro. Evidências de quem éramos, de quem pensávamos que éramos, de quem nunca deveríamos ter sido. Evidências um para o outro de que há outras maneiras de viver — além da sobrevivência; além do isolamento.

When asked if creators should be compensated for their work being used to train AI, Mark Zuckerberg said, “I think individual creators or publishers tend to overestimate the value of their specific content in the grand scheme of this.”

That's pretty rich coming from someone who never had an original thought in his life. Someone whose empire is based on stealing and buying ideas.

A investigation by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit exposes Israeli war crimes in the Gaza Strip through the medium of photos and videos posted online by Israeli soldiers themselves.

The I-Unit has built up a database of thousands of videos, photos and social media posts, said the network.

The material reveals a range of illegal activities, from wanton destruction and looting to the demolition of entire neighbourhoods and murder.

Pra #tersoftware de hoje, vou deixar um que é um bocado inesperado, já que não é exatamente pensado em educação

Minetest! é uma game engine criada para criar jogos com o estilo voxel.

O legal, é que com o recurso de jogos multiplayer, são criados a partir dela, jogos com propósito educacional.

Com certeza, usando de jeito certo, o Minetest consegue ser uma ferramenga poderosa em sala de aula.

@frufruzinho ele até pode não ser pensado em educação na sua essência, mas é tão usado pra isso que no próprio site tem uma seção só para experiências educacionais. 🙂

Eu adoro o #Minetest (e tenho horas suficientes de jogo para provar isso) 😄 . E além do uso educacional dele enquanto jogo, tem um "metauso", que é trabalhar com os alunos a criação/alteração de mods, que é bem simples de fazer.

Eu sou fascinado com a forma como filmes são produzidos, os detalhes técnicos, os artifícios. Mas nunca tinha ouvido falar do fotoplayer nem sabia do seu papel em filmes mudos. E depois de ver os vídeos desse artigo minha cabeça explodiu!

Great, thanks for sharing the news! GLAMs being also institutions with a particular expertise in copyright, they should stop putting ineffective licenses onto content that is clearly public domain. Copyright is already very difficult to navigate for normal people, so it'd be very useful if things were not complicated by randomly given licenses.

As a family doctor, I can attest this is how the "pregnancy" weeks are counted. Unfortunately, almost everyone outside healthcare professions doesn't know it.

@cyberlyra hachyderm.io/@cyberlyra/113223…


If you’ve never been pregnant before, allow me to explain what is so ghastly about a six week ban on #abortion, and what they mean when they say most women don’t know they’re pregnant yet.

Week 1 is technically the first week of the ovulation cycle that releases an (eventually fertilized) egg. It starts first day your menstrual period. You bleed throughout week 1.
In week 2, you ovulate. Week 3, the egg gets fertilized.

You’re halfway in and not even pregnant yet! 1/N
