For the non-virologists: My lab wants to understand how a virus rearranges the innards of a cell to turn it into a virus factory. The simple RNA viruses we study, such as the common cold virus and other respiratory viruses, do this quickly (3-4h) and ruthlessly. If one virus gets in, hundreds will emerge, and the cell is dead within several hours. #virology #LoveVirology #AFM

As a blind individual, I have to say that #Caturday on #Mastodon is far far more enjoyable then at #Twitter, where the vast majority of cat photos are not described.

It is also been fascinating for me to hear descriptions written by those who sent the image, immediately followed by Apple image recognition’s attempts to describe the same image. Only rarely does that add anything to the ALT, & often directly contradicts it.

There is no auto magical solution to image description. It is something best done by a human, for only that human can explain the “why” of the image: the reason that image was chosen to speak so eloquently without words for those who can see it. ALT allows you to provide those words.

Stort och innerligt tack för allt ditt engagemang för alla människors lika värde och kamp mot alla former av rasism! Vila i frid!

Nu är det upp till oss andra att fortsätta kampen!

Now that we're learning this lesson that centralized silos are brittle and operate in the interest of the owners not the users...

...please note the move toward centralizing podcasts into apps from Amazon/Audible, Spotify, iHeart, YouTube, TikTok etc.

If you like podcasts, use an RSS-based podcast player. Support the open ecosystem. We can only survive if you clearly see the threat and act supportively.

Dagens #lördagstanke går till de cirka 300 000 som har permanent uppehållstillstånd och som nu kastats ut i osäkerhet. Det är djupt inhumant att ens lyfta frågan om att omvandla de permanenta uppehållstillstånden till tillfälliga.

Om någon mot förmodan har missat syftet med en stram migrationspolitik: "att framstå som ett inhumant avskräckande exempel".

I övrigt tydliggör artikeln behovet av juridisk rådgivning i migrationsärenden.

Simple tip today for #90DaysOfMayhem -- Hidden Files: https://snar.co/90day47

I guess I never did an #introduction, and now that there's more folks around here, it must be time.

I'm Leo! I do #Linux things all the time, and try to use as much #OpenSource and #FOSS software as possible. I dig #history, especially #technology history, so much that I do a #video #podcast every fortnight at @linuxuserspace

I've been meaning to dig more into doing some #education - type videos, and maybe do a little more blogging, but the history wormhole is a very strong one.
