Got another new post! Bridging identity with account links. They’re a simple, modular way to connect your various accounts and posts across the open social web. Bridgy Fed supports them, and we’d love to see other apps and platforms adopt them too. Feedback is welcome. And support us on Patreon!

We were joined this afternoon by MPs @luketaylorld.bsky.social, @bobbywdean.bsky.social and @paulkohlersw19.bsky.social 👋 Luke, Bobby and Paul met with Dr @maggiecheang.bsky.social to discuss her role at the ICR and the impact of her interdisciplinary research in the @icr-ctsu.bsky.social

If you bought a Framework Laptop 13 at its original launch, it required a lot of blind faith. The idea of a laptop you could upgrade yourself was spectacular in theory, but here we are, more than four years later, seeing Framework’s grand ambitions come to fruition. Read more: wrd.cm/4jX7VKB

By betraying his voters so comprehensively and so soon, Keir Starmer has done us a favour. He has given us 4 years to design the government we want. In this week's column I explain how it can be done. There's massive potential, but we need to start now. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Great to see this happening in my neighborhood - I'm not surprised. Obviously no reflection on Diane at all - it's entirely a response to the awful Labour Government who are turning people away in their droves. Expect more of this & we'll be here with the positive alternative.

Happy to share details of this meeting and the exciting line-up of speakers. Hope to see you there. Please re-post www.crick.ac.uk/whats-on/5th...

Any scikit-image fans in Vienna? The #skimage team would like to meet in Vienna for a code sprint Aug 14-16 ahead of EuroSciPy. We'd super appreciate it if someone's workplace can host us! All we need is electricity, natural light, and (most important) walking distance to coffee. ☕️😂🙏

With NIH director Jayanta Bhattacharya dismissing my reporting as "false" and "spreading rumors" hours before releasing a policy that confirmed said "rumors," I feel compelled to respond. Here's an inside look into how this story was reported. It was a weird one. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

#bluesky remains important and valuable as a tool of political resistance _right now_; nobody should be scolded for using it. But (there's always a but) the company's willingness to fold quickly to censorship demands from Turkey's government demonstrates that it is not sufficient. Both the […]

so apparently, bluesky has started honoring government takedown requests from turkish government. i wonder what the nature of measures taken are. do the accounts or the content get taken down or do they get geofenced, @jay.bsky.team ?

In my course on evolution and medicine I was discussing why—if fever is an evolved defense—we so often use antipyretic drugs to reduce fever. (FWIW, I think it's generally fine to do so.) "No one would prescribe an immunosuppresant to treat a deadly viral infection", I said. I forgot about RFK Jr.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.
