Portuguese by nationality. Genetically I'm aprox 50% Ukrainian, 25% Russian and 25% Greek. Living in Spain (Catalonia).
I don't identify myself with any "-ism", but the closest thing would be libertarianism.
I work in the field of Life Sciences. My activity usually revolves around genetics and bioinformatics. I also like programming and data science / machine learning.
I started migrating to more ethical digital spaces and services after I had first-hand experience working for one of the most abominable enterprises. There is so much I want to say about it but can't due to legal reasons.

In case you missed it, Google Play recently removed the @Tusky Mastodon app without proper explanation.
Tusky is one of the best Android Mastodon apps, with nothing controversial in it at all. It's quite disturbing that Google can and does act like this.
An alternative and much better way of getting Tusky onto your Android device is by using the independent FOSS app store @fdroidorg
You can find instructions for installing F-Droid here: https://switching.software/replace/google-play/
Can someone think of an example of a scientific theory that got superseded by a better one and then got re-incorporated into scientific consensus again?
In my field, I can name only one such theory: Lamarckism - the notion that an organism can pass on to its offspring characteristics that the parent organism acquired through use or disuse during its lifetime.
It became superseded by Darwinian notion of evolution but since discovery of epigenetics, it became more and more obvious that things are not nearly as simple and cracking the genetic code of the individual would tell only a fraction of information about it's genetic expression.
All the genes' expression are influenced by epigenetics which is in part influenced by the lifestyle of the progenitors.

Can I find ONE dank meme page in the fediverse that doesn't sneak in disgusting furry porn, anime (borderline pedo) content and femboy fantasies? I swear to God I thought these degenerates were just a meme, but I discovered they are very real people here on mastodon. And there are way too many of them.
A question for EU citizens who are critical to US's "electoral college" approach. Are you also critical of EU parliament elections use of digressive proportionality? Why/why not?
