Trump using the White House to make a commercial for the richest man, posting about it most of the day. He has given this more attention than healthcare or welfare the entire 7 weeks of his presidency. MAGA.....

@futuraprime I've been trying Claude Projects for that recently - their new GitHub integration means you can configure Claude to read all (or some) of your GitHub repository as part of every prompt, it works really well: support.anthropic.com/en/artic…

hey randy, welcome! Glad to have you!

I'm currently trying to migrate to Linux as part of a community challenge and it's been rocky for this old Windows Admin soul

Love to see more EU advocates around, I'll be sure to follow! 😀






You all need to understand that Trump is literally threatening war with Canada.

He’s not trolling. He’s talking about invasion.

“‘I will do anything possible to make sure that we win in ‘28. I do not need to be on that ticket,’ Walz told CNN. ‘That’s not my pursuit here. My pursuit is that I am still in a position where I have a platform and I have some power to make a difference, and if 20 people show up that’s good by me because those 20 people are making a difference.’”

The good: My fever has broken!

The bad:
* I'm running on 3 hours sleep because a brutal sore throat and a cough kept me up
* The virus (suspecting it may be flu) has caused multiple eczema flareups in unusual locations, including one very sensitive area, and both shins 🙁

Feel like I'm going mad, have just been lurching from one illness to the next recently with no real time to recover 😭

@juergen_hubert ja aber es sieht bislang ja auch nicht danach aus, daß dann was besseres kommt. Und mir geht es vor allem darum auszudrücken, daß ich nicht dafür zu haben bin, sich einfach nur bis an die Zähne zu bewaffnen, aber alles, das man mit diesen Waffen sinnvoll verteidigen könnte, dafür über Bord zu werfen.


Researchers often complain they don't receive recognition for adopting open science practices. However, there are positive exceptions!

@universiteitleiden colleague Naomi Truan shares her experience: Making data openly available "leads to recognition. I’ve been contacted many times based on my data. I see that it makes a difference in how people perceive our discipline and how I’m evaluated in my field."

sei un ricercatore sul clima in USA? I finanziamenti ti sono stati tagliati.

ma c'è di peggio: l'amministrazione Trump ti fa bloccare i conti correnti e ti denuncia per truffa e cospirazione per frodare gli USA. Devi sostenere spese legali. Rischi di perdere tutto e beccarti anni carcere.
