WARNING!
I made a huge mistake. I am deeply sorry.
Be WARNED about the new projects by Wikipedia Co-Founder Dr. Larry Sanger !
I did NOT KNOW that he became a right wing conspiracy theorist and lier.
@fribbledom reading the posts on the Decoding of the Covid Vaccine

If the vaccine can be tweaked to counter mutations, does the new version need to go through the same approval process ?

Having to install Windows on someone’s machine and having to deal with the OS always makes me appreciate the beauty of the #Linux #desktop more.
Everything feels much more purposeful. The system isn't constantly doing things you don't want it to do. You don't get spammed by pointless notifications. It's not trying to constantly bait and sell you into signing up for Microsoft services and using their voice assistant. And imo after just being re-exposed to Windows, Linux is just easier to use.

The varying openness of digital open #science tools
Digital tools that support #openscience practices play role in the accumulation, archiving and dissemination of scholarly data, outcomes and conclusions. They carry the promise of enabling #collaboration across disciplines, world regions and language groups.
Despite their integration into scholarly practices, the providence and design of these digital tools are rarely explicitly scrutinized.

As soon as Covid is over, join a local club, a language course it volunteer for a good cause. You'll find some IRL friends there.

How to verify accounts
I am trying to verify my Mastodon account, but this isn't working, I have included the verification link on my personal blog (writeAs powered) and also on my Diode.zone account and there are links from here (qoto) to both of those.
It seems that WriteAs is stripping the Rel="me" part out and replacing with nofollow. But I am just pasting the html directly.
How have other people achieved this,? I think the process needs to be really quick and simple, but also robust enough to avoid abuse.
If the Fediverse is to grow this could be essential for getting more high profile people or even business, charities on here.
Thanks for any help, if people could share how have done this successfully ( as quite a few have the green tick) then it helps others do the same, .
Hopefully raise the profile of the Fediverse in general
