OK "far-white Republican party" is an epic burn to begin with, and then it just keeps going like that.

Can we observe how the injured leg of an animal is regenerated?
We have figured out how to do this in the crustacean Parhyale. Over the course of a week, we can record the entire process of leg regeneration at cell-by-cell resolution.
Our latest preprint describes how we do this and what we see:

One thing of many that frustrates me about this systemd world we live in is that the whole notion of a dependency tree is entirely one way.
If I activate something, the whole dependency tree under it lights up, and that's totally fine, that's a reasonable thing to do, but after I deactivate it the whole tree under it just keeps trucking away.
Is anyone working on a computer-as-campsite, aggressively use-only-what's-required, clean-up-when-finished process manager?

A few things publishers seek to bring an end to, with courts' help:
“Libraries are critical infrastructure. Access to information is a human right. When you buy a book you should truly own it. When a library buys a book, they should be able to lend it. Readers should be able to read without any third parties spying over their shoulders, or preventing them from accessing the materials they have legally obtained.” @molly0xfff

Mastodon FeedI'm disappointed that AI companies are not transparent about their energy usage.
AI training technically isn't time sensitive, and could be scaled down to run entirely on renewable energy, but the AI companies probably feel they must race it 24/7 on full blast to justify the billions invested.
The GPUs they've spent the billions on are about to become obsolete junk when the next generation comes out, so gotta max them out while they're competitive.

Yes! For the second day in a row, after a week of failures, I finally remembered NOT to wet my sponge after I finish soaping up the range and the island, but use the remaining soap in the sponge for the appliances' handles.
I know it means nothing to y'all, but I just needed to share the excitement!

Mark Zuckerberg’s 20-year mistake
"In important ways, Facebook — now Meta — escaped any real accountability for its lapses around data privacy, content moderation, and child safety. After countless performative hearings, the United States Congress did not pass a single national law to regulate Meta and other big tech companies." https://www.platformer.news/mark-zuckerberg-acquired-podcast-interview/?ref=platformer-newsletter

Trump and Vance didn't "fall for" a racist conspiracy theory you absolute pinhead. They are spreading a racist conspiracy theory because they're fucking nazis running a white nationalist campaign. They were not tricked, they are doing it fucking intentionally.
