The Battle for Wesnoth is my all-time favorite FOSS. Can't understate it.

I'm not sure about this particular paper, but usually you can compare the number of mutations in a common protein and use that to estimate how long ago a common ancestor existed. As an example here is a graph of the number of mutations in mitochondrial DNA for the protein Cytochrome C. The more mutations you accumulate in a genome the larger amount of time since they split from a common ancestor.

One more for Bitwarden. You can even run your own local server and avoid using the cloud.

I joined mander.xyz because it has a central theme around the natural sciences. It could possibly include STEM content as well; there is an ongoing discussion about it. The admin(s) are present and very responsive.

For anyone with a love of science and/or nature I recommend it highly as a home instance of Lemmy.

“Like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass,” the CEO wrote.

This is true. By sheer population most Redditors never left. But I'd say a core percentage responsible for actually making content has moved on and won't be back.

 

New to Mander, a Lemmy instance focused on the natural sciences.

The Science of Cooking

We’re focused on cooking and the science behind how it changes our food. Some chemistry, a little biology, whatever it takes to explore a critical aspect of everyday life.

Well said. I usually don't get farther with my students than the 3D models of enzymes changing shape and the reactions involving Pi. That's just the reality of non-grad level classes. But it's one of those things you can follow down the rabbit hole very easily.

It's getting better! All the time! This was just posted yesterday.

I know this is an old post, but it's extremely cool.

The newsgroup server I'm on is actually called eternal-september.org in remembrance.

Same here as well. I uninstalled rif and replaced its icon with Jerboa. I don't even notice the difference until the screen loads 😄
