Samsung phones have an option of scheduled autorestart; I have mine set to restart once every week at a scheduled time.

 

This study describes the identification of an antibiotic class acting via LpxH, involved in lipopolysaccharide synthesis having potent in vivo efficacy against bloodstream infections caused by the critical Gram-negative pathogens E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Further development of this class of antibiotics could make an important contribution to the ongoing struggle against antibiotic resistance.

This study attempts to identify the “protective” genetic factors that can modify or reduce the effect of APOEε4 on Alzheimer’s disease risk and to identify new pathogenic mechanisms, proteins, and pathways that inform development of therapeutic targets and diagnostics.

I'm very new to using rss. Recently I have come across people mentioning about adding rss feeds of youtube channels to rss readers. I'm curious to know how to get the URL of youtube channel rss so I could add it to my reader (I hope I am wording it correctly). I am using feeder app.

I have frequently used tts for listening to epubs. I have, however, not noticed much battery drain... And it's not as enjoyable as listening to an audiobook read by a narrator you like but it kind of works to a certain extent. So I wish you tts would get better.

 

Scientists have created an infant ‘chimeric’ monkey by injecting a monkey embryo with stem cells from a genetically distinct donor embryo. The resulting animal is the first live-born chimeric primate to have a high proportion of cells originating from donor stem cells. However, the monkey had to be euthanized when it was only ten days old, due to health issues, thereby raising ethical concerns. DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2023.10.005

I hardly remember my dreams and when I do (which is usually if it has been interesting) I generally wake at some crucial point which is very annoying.

Thank you for this nuanced and unbiased write up. I have been actively avoiding this topic online and this helped me to get an idea about the background of the war going on now.

Got fed up with youtube algorithm shenanigans among other things and am just sticking to newpipe.

I want TTS made better with AI so that I won't need huge audiobooks filling up my phone. The epubs that I already have would serve as audiobooks when needed.

OK understood why you prefer bluesky.

One of the things I really like about Mastodon is that I can curate my feed to show only what I am interested in by following hashtags and/or people and muting those people whose posts I don't want to see. There's no hidden algorithm controlling my feed, pushing controversial posts towards me and other stuff. So I don't get why would you need the invite only feature of bluesky control your feed?

Really, variety of options and potential interlinkage with other kinds of Fediverse projects is what really excites me about the Fediverse.

Oh yes, this reason makes sense.

 

The newly discovered letter, written by a German Jesuit to Pope Pius XII’s personal secretary, suggests that the pope knew of Hitler’s atrocities but chose to remain silent.
