White mold #fungi split their #genome across several nuclei theconversation.com/white-mold…

"#spores of S. sclerotiorum contain one set of 16 #chromosomes divided across two nuclei, rather than each nucleus containing a complete set... #chromosome composition varies among nuclei, suggesting the division of chromosomes between nuclei is in an irregular manner... to produce the next generation, they need to reform a diploid cell with the full suite... Presumably, this requires the fusion of nuclei"

White mold fungi split their genome across several nuclei, with implications for future gene editing

Challenging the long-standing assumption that a cell’s nucleus contains a complete set of chromosomes, recent research reveals that some fungi nuclei only contain half.

At least with fixed ALPR cameras, and even certain police departments that heavily use the tech on their vehicles, it's at least theoretically possible to plan travel to avoid constant state surveillance.

This partnership would make surveillance all but ubiquitous, impossible to avoid, and would mark the largest assault on unencumbered freedom of movement that I can imagine.

Recently, the meta rayban glasses have kind of been hitting me from all directions, and not gonna lie, I'm starting to consider buying them, since I rely a lot on identifying colours on displays of household appliances, reading documents on paper, recognizing frequencies/channel numbers on radios and so on. Could anyone who owns them please enlighten me if they work for the things I described? And mainly if the AI functions are supported outside of the US (since I'm from Czechia)? I remember reading about this limitation a few months ago, but maybe I'm imagining things. I'd be very glad for any answers, and if you could boost this post, that would really help me out a bunch. Thanks!

"Please do not use Google AI to find out our specials. Please go on our Facebook page or our website," the restaurant wrote in a weary Facebook post. "Google AI is not accurate and is telling people specials that do not exist which is causing angry customers yelling at our employees."

"We cannot control what Google posts or says," the post added, "and we will not honor the Google AI specials."

To defend against Russian tanks, Finland and Poland consider restoring wetlands

Finland and Poland are both considering rewetting dried out peatbogs to form defence barriers against a potential Russian ground invasion. Restoring these natural carbon sinks could also bring significant environmental benefits.

This is also useful for users of other distributions, as most of the features come from projects also packaged outside of Debian.

One of the benefits of eSpeak-NG is that it doesn't make assumptions like reading "CUP" is Cuban Pesos (hello US OneCore voices) - but the flip side is that eSpeak will read the year 1987 as "nineteen hundred eighty seven". If you'd like it to read that as "nineteen eighty seven" & learn a little #regex on the way, then @fastfinge has you covered with the "Correcting Years With NVDA and Espeak" blog post: stuff.interfree.ca/2025/08/28/…

I can't resist the temptation to discuss more OneCore oddities, we also can't forget the OneCore bug with reading ernesto, or have you been using applications where unchecking check boxes was necessary? Also fun fact. Microsoft David always uses its OneCore data even in SAPI5. Zira uses OneCore data in OneCore, but its older data in SAPI5. What this means, is that David will always exhibit these problems, but Zira will only if using OneCore and not SAPI.

some time ago my company paid a consultant for a 2-hour webinar on "how to become more productive with Copilot" and in the middle of it the guy proudly told us that a few weeks earlier he forgot he had to do a presentation for a client so before the meeting he "just pointed Copilot to the SharePoint folder and then used the result and everybody was happy," and in my mind I was like "we are the people that pay you for that crap, are you sure you should be telling us this 🤨"

Anthropic Settles Major AI Copyright Suit Brought by Authors (3)

Anthropic PBC told a pair of courts in July that a judge’s order approving class-action status for authors’ copyright lawsuit over millions of pirated books put “inordinate pressure” on the company to settle a case that could kill the company.

Played a bit more with #fruitstand (github.com/BasementCat/fruitst…) from @Wren this evening, now my ePaper display (seeedstudio.com/XIAO-7-5-ePape…) came in.

I've never been so excited seeing an "Internal Server Error" displayed on the screen, because it comes from the server!

In just an evening I got my CI-built container properly tested, reported some bugs, fixed an issue and got the ESP32 properly linked to the Fruitstand webserver with #esphome.

Been a while since I enjoyed hacking on stuff this much :)

I'm not seeing the DB migration in the README but yeah that was one of the issues I ran into (I'm thinking the Docker container should probably just auto-migrate on launch), but sadly that's not this issue: github.com/BasementCat/fruitst…

I'm starting to feel it may be some config issue, like, maybe there is no default config for plugins until you explicitly save. And maybe they're not saving on my side for some reason. I'll debug more later, I'm already glad about the progress of yesterday :)

@aks Just noticed your progress on Queerminal (scalie.zone/@aks/1151257995352…), very cool! Given we both seem to really want a non-queerphobic TRMNL alternative, I just figured I'd ping you here to show you Fruitstand running on similar hardware in the hope it might interest you. If you'd rather I not bother you with this let me know! :)

Managed to make my TRMNL server "Queerminal" to support modules, so it now loops between an RSS feed and my calendar. Next up I need to make a weather view. Then clean up the code **a lot** and maybe it's ready for more public usage.

GitHub wikis do get their own semi-hidden repo (URL visible on the bottom, see github.com/TheLastProject/frui…) but the wiki format is kinda... GitHub-specific. If your goal is to have less vendor lock-in I would personally suggest GitHub Pages instead as you can mostly move that as-in to GitLab Pages or (sadly in maintenance mode) Codeberg Pages. Or build it with a third party tool like Netlify. Of course, you should put that behind an own domain to not be stuck with a github.io domain.

"Mostly" as in, whatever is in the "pages" branch gets published as HTML, so you will have to modify your build scripts for the CI system you switch to. But given the commands will stay the same that would be fairly minimal amounts of work.

Then we get to the level of multiple repositories though, so you may want to move Fruitstand to a GitHub organisation for clarity (though not required).

Could also just put markdown files in the current Fruitstand repo but that is more limiting.

Understandable! It seems I have permission to edit the Wiki (it might be set to public), so it accidentally published the moment I hit save. I hope that's okay anyway :)

I might tweak this if more stuff comes up, but for now, I'm considering github.com/BasementCat/fruitst… to be "correct documentation". Feel free to change/ask as you see fit :)

I stopped taking "blind libertarian" pills 20 years ago, kid. That's like 20% of the cause. There is a very real and very immediate inflation effect when one shuts down industry, shipping, and retail for a prolonged period, and artificially creates scarcity. That's easily 80% of Biden's inflation. That and giving kickbacks to other crooks at the expense of honest business practices.
