Most #Plants Depend On A #Fungi-#Bacteria Relationship We've Been Overlooking
Agricultural scientists may have overlooked a #symbiotic relationship essential to the success of #food production. Its discovery may bring potential to supercharge it to enhance #crop growth, replacing artificial #fertilizers that come with a host of undesirable consequences.

If the USA ever passes socialized medical before I turn 65, I'm going to retire to freelance work only. I wonder how many others would make the same jump?

When we hear ghoul sellouts like Howard Dean pushing the racist, genocidal lie that "patents don't matter" because poor brown people can't make vaccines, we're hearing Gates's talking points:

Gates's role in vaccine apartheid is laid out in exquisite detail in Natalie Sure's outstanding New Republic feature, which delves into Gates's longstanding project to sideline democratic governments and cooperation in favor of monopoly tyranny.

In Korea, there is a degree where you have to start an economically viable cooperative to graduate.
A lot of super cool stuff going on in Korea. The country might take the global cooperative movement to a whole new level!

Think of all the local councils in the world, imagine if they all used something like LibreOffice. Some of their IT budget (i.e. public money) would go on using and improving libre software. Maybe they could work with local tech coops to work on the codebase. Money gets invested locally, code improvements can be used globally.
That amount of distributed labour, the libre offerings would easily surpass the proprietary offerings.

I can't imagine being simple minded enough to be religious. How can you not question everything all of the time? How can you submit so easily to authority? Religious people seem incapable of reason, and therefore are hard to trust.

Announcing XMPP<=>ActivityPub gateway project doubled with XMPP Pubsub end-to-end encryption supported by NLnet/NGI Zero (thanks again @NGIZero !)

Something I learned at this latest company: The number of compile-time asserts in your code is directly proportional to the number of errors in the design of the code.
(Colleague at this job uses compile-time assert as a way to ensure changes in one area of code produce changes in another area of code; this implies a high level of coupling and low cohesion. i.e., a lot of globals and duplication.)
If you buy a Microsoft Surface to install Linux on it, you are doing more to support the coffers of an unrepentant monopolist than to promote Linux. #microsoftsucks
