#Sex and #gender is much more complicated in #nature than people like to pretend. For instance, there is a #bird that effectively has four 'genders'. #Wolves have also recently been developing a similar system in #Yellowstone where black wolves prefer to mate with gray/tan wolves, due to #disease making a mixed population more desirable (black wolves have better disease resist, but they are far less stealthy). And of course, there are one-sex #species, such as the famous #lesbian #lizards which still require, ahem, 'activity' to activate the eggs and so do it with other females. #science #news #lgbt

Next clue. A little more context for all of the previous clues. Still a LOT of parts to print!

Hoy fui a la primera reunión del proyecto de investigación interdisciplinario sobre contaminación lumínica que realizaremos investigadores del CURE Rocha, Facultad de Ciencias, Facultad de Arquitectura y la Intendencia de Montevideo. La reunión fue en la Unidad Técnica de Alumbrado Público (UTAP) de la intendencia de Montevideo y definimos los primeros pasos para dar. Me traje los SQM para configurar y dejarlos prontos para el deploy. El proyecto tomará datos que serán utilizados por la intendencia, la cátedra de Acondicionamiento Lumínico de Facultad de Arquitectura, la Facultad de Ciencias para el estudio de comportamiento de aves e insectos en áreas urbanas y el CURE Rocha para los estudios astronómicos de contaminación lumínica que lleva adelante en el país, el desarrollo de un estándar de cielos oscuros avalado por la Unión Astronómica Internacional (UAI) así como también su aplicación en Uruguay para el Sistema Nacional de Areas Protegidas (SNAP). Este esfuerzo es verdaderamente pionero en este campo de estudio #sqm #contaminaciónlumínica

We are super happy to announce that after months of work we are finally able to launch our new look! Please check it out and let us know what you think: https://libcom.org/article/libcomorg-launches-new-theme

Except a few nerds, end users are mostly not using open-source software these days. Only businesses are. Almost all consumer products that were open-source have already lost in competition or is losing. Web browser, operating system, email, messaging, social networking.

What do you think are the reasons for this failure? Will this be repeated in business too? Or will it just take more time in consumer software than it did in business?

What a cool bot! @Chartodon 👏

#HarvardBookStore in #CambridgeMA is my favourite bookstore, and their events are part of why.
I had a great time yesterday evening at the reading+discussion of *The Terraformers* with @annaleen! For example, I learned that a planet can have a molten core and volcanoes, but no plate tectonics, leading to the volcanoes making persistent lava tubes and staying in the same place over long timescales. I love #scifi with real #science

Este es un pequeño monocular que hice a partir de un binocular que era de mi abuelo, un Ultralux 6x. Una de las lentes estaba completamente arruinada y hace muchos años lo corté y adapté para monocular. Por medio de la técnica de proyección por ocular con el celular, saqué unas fotos de la Luna y salen bastante bien #luna #astronomía #astrofotografia #fotografia

FYI gringos, Latin American migrants are not "fleeing communism", they are fleeing the predatory economic policies that Washington has imposed on us (dubbed "The Washington Consensus"). Said policies have been imposed via economic pressure, coup d'etat, sanctions, murder or attempted murder, invasions or plain robbery, like we can see in the case of the Venezuelan gold.

"How Open Source Community and Espressif made it possible to use #RustLang" (#ESP32)

Your #Android phone has a so-called Google advertising ID*, a unique number for your device. Using that, #tracking companies follow and record what you do on your phone, even across apps from different companies.

Luckily, you can now disable the advertising ID to make it harder for them to track you. We recommend doing this to everyone. Here's how it works.

*Unless of course, you’re using a google-free #LineageOS, #GrapheneOS or similar. :)
