With kernel 6.12 and Gnome 47 it's more modern than I had expected!

Bienenweide soweit das Auge reicht entlang der Bahnlinie zwischen Bahnhof Littenweiler und Kappel 🐝
Danke @freiburg - Euer Grünflächenmanagement scheint mir dieses Jahr deutlich besser als in den Vorjahren 👍 (vielleicht auch bessere Voraussetzungen, weil weniger trocken?)

disturbing truth about cats, dead rodent description

Ah, what better way to enjoy your coffee than with the sweet smell* from a rotting mouse.
What better way to start work than by moving furniture, finding the source under the couch and scraping the body up off the floor.
Small joys that people without cats are missing out on without even realizing.

* mostly like old cauliflower but with a slight sweet touch to it

These are only estimates, not taking aircraft models into account, but bottom line is: non-European participants can save as much CO2, by just optimizing their flight route and minimizing stop-overs, as we can by avoiding intra-European flights.

@galaxyproject almost everyone from the Freiburg Galaxy team going to #gcc2024 in Brno this June is going to travel there by train. Per person that saves ~ 200 kg of CO2.

Overall carbon footprint from traveling to GCC will, of course, be dominated by flights from outside the EU so how much potential is there for tweaking, e.g., the footprint of transatlantic flights?

Following are the results of the quick research I did this morning:

For my own understanding of the fediverse: with guppe groups, aren't people trying to recreate #lemmy on mastodon?
... and if I follow a lemmy community through mastodon what are the limitations that would possibly make true mastodon groups the better experience?

Made me think that it's kind of funny how much attention the fix of the excel date bug drew in data science communities when neither the kind of bug, nor the long time it took to fix it are particularly remarkable, only the number of affected users is.

Two weeks ago, I encountered a hilarious bug with the multiple sequence alignment program MAFFT.

Who would have thought that MAFFT calls #awk to parse one of its command line arguments. Now on some systems (including Ubuntu desktop versions before this year) awk is not gawk, but an alias for mawk instead (https://superuser.com/questions/75875/awk-mawk-nawk-gawk-what) and with that one MAFFT would simply ignore the passed value for --ep.
This is now fixed in the #Bioconda package of MAFFT by requiring gawk explicitly.

If you're German-speaking, the latest episode of the podcast https://www.deutschlandfunknova.de/podcasts/download/update-erde# starts with the rejection of the #Renaturierungsgesetz by the environment committee and discusses the importance of the law for the #EU's #GreenDeal.

@rmwaterhouse what's your opinion on this? Is there something like an official position of the #ERGA project? What do others in the #biodiversity community think about it?

The final vote of the #EUParliament on the proposal will be next week & if it gets rejected, to me this seems like such a huge missed opportunity.
I also fail to understand why something so important doesn't receive the media coverage it deserves and is left only to parliamentarians and lobby groups instead of the public :-(

#EU's proposed #NatureRestorationLaw https://environment.ec.europa.eu/topics/nature-and-biodiversity/nature-restoration-law_en looks to me like a *very* reasonable bit of legislation & a necessity to combat the effects of #ClimateChange.
Compared to its importance it received little public attention from the start. That changed little when the #EUCouncil reached an agreement on the proposal 2 weeks ago: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2023/06/20/council-reaches-agreement-on-the-nature-restoration-law/ and again when it got rejected with a 44:44 votes tie by the #EUParliament's environment committee last week: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/27/eu-flagship-nature-laws-in-jeopardy-after-voting-stalemate.

Had a chance last week to look at the new poster exhibition
(https://twitter.com/RensingStefan/status/1667877280922714112) on plant evolution in the #BotanicalGarden of @unifreiburg and found it super-informative and well done.
What I also find remarkable is that the whole series has been made available via #zenodo under #CreativeCommons Attribution 4.0 license: https://zenodo.org/record/7963098#.ZGzZFS8RrBA

Outstanding work by https://madland.science/!

@dfg_public funding well invested. @unifreiburg worth a toot 🙂

adaptive gnome apps - growing list

There are really just two things I use regularly and that I'm not satisfied with:
- gnome-calendar 43.1
more or less adaptive by now, but with limited functionality compared to desktop (it's been making huge progress with gnome 43 though so I'm hopeful for the next version)
- **email** !!!
Right now geary 43.0 is the only "serious" mobile option, but it sucks and tends to crash or freeze. Good enough for reading emails but certainly not for writing any.

adaptive gnome apps - growing list

and that's just flatpaks.
There is also lots of adaptive and really usable Gnome software that I have installed from traditional repos:

- nautilus 43.2 (still requires sensitivity to double tapping to be worked on)
- gedit 43.2
- image viewer (aka Eye of Gnome) 43.2
- calculator 43.0.1
- gnome-web 43.1 (for web apps; FF is also working of course)
- gnome-podcasts 0.5.1
- shortwave 3.0.0
- foliate 2.6.4
- authenticator 4.1.6

adaptive gnome apps - growing list

Wuhu, #Wike has finally received an adaptive UI update and joins my list of #Gnome apps that work just fine on #LinuxMobile.
Here's what I'm currently using as #flatpaks on my Linux phone:
app version gnome runtime version
Dialect 2.1.1 43
Wordbook 0.3.1 44
Cozy 1.2.1 43
Wike 2.0.1 44
G4Music 1.9.2 43
Public Transport 0.4.3 43
NewsFlash 2.2.4 43
Tuba 0.2.0 44

Quite modern :)

#nheko is:
- fast (C++ not Electron)
- nearly feature-complete
- implements some features better than #element (e.g., messages sent as /html can later be edited as html again)
- the latest version is packaged for fedora
- it works on #LinuxMobile

my only real complaint atm: the interface around creation of spaces and rooms feels very unclear to me, so I guess I'll resort to element-web or hydrogen for that.
