@flsounds @pwinn afaik metamask is iOS only

@flsounds for what’s worth, also toot! does that. I think it could be because of the “optimized” keyboard setting that replaces the return key with @ and #

Going into the “numbers” keyboard brings out the return key (I just noticed it!), so that could be the best work around.

Plus you have to click that to go to the punctuation keyboard, which will reveal the enter key even without entering it.

@flsounds Yes! In fact, until your post I didn’t realize I could press it even then!

Exclamation points work, too.

But then you got me poking, and… turns out you just need to switch to the number/punctuation keyboard. They’ve pulled @ and # from other keyboards, and pushed “return” deeper in exchange.

On iOS, at least.

I'm following lots of interesting people here on Mastodon. But I'm clearly on a different schedule/timezone to many of them, because I don't see their toots unless I manually go digging. I appreciate the simplicity of the chronological timeline, but it's kind of difficult to discover stuff. Are there any pro tips?

Hey, #MedMastodon #HistoryMastodon #MedHistory, got a question for you!

So my med students seem to enjoy my end-of-class babbling on medical history/oddities to the point that they are now demanding it (I have made it clear they wont get any extra credit because of this and still they insist so I assume their interest is sincere 😂 ).
I usually say ok and ask for a subject. This week they suggested the #BlackDeath (don't ask why).
So I mushed together a few ideas. I concluded with the interaction of #Yersinia pestis and #FMF, bringing the subject back on track (#ClinicalImmunology).

Now I was reviewing some facts and I saw this paper (10.1136/pgmj.2004.024075) by Duncan and Smith on the #PostgraduateMedicalJournal #PMJ. They make quite a case for the underlying cause of the #Plague being some sort of virus, possibly a haemorrhagic fever.
One of the arguments is the selection of yet another variant that might protect against disease - in their proposed model its CCR5-delta32 which protects against HIV-1 and seems to have had a substancial boost in prevalence during the same period of the Bubonic Plague.

I had never heard of this. I found a lot of news reports from the early 2000s on this but seems to have faded away since then as a theory.

I still found it very interesting. Does anyone have any new information on this?
I am aware of the recent isolation of Y pestis and the 2022 Nature paper, but could these two agents not have coexisted, for instance?

I've decided to follow anyone who looks interesting even if they don't match my interests. After a month or two I can trim that list. It is easy to do on qoto.org since the follow button can be displayed under the icon.

My boss, Matt Mullenweg, the boss of Automattic, owner of Tumblr, is looking for ex-Twitter employees for Tumblr, saying,

"we're putting on a fast track to see how they can help super-charge Tumblr. We can't absorb thousands of people, but I'd be open to hiring entire teams if they already work great together."

He's photomatt on Twitter, or look here too: https://automattic.com/work-with-us/

Boost for visibility, please? Spread the word!
