I use feeder for android and quiterss on debian. No need for external server and allow me to categorize feeds as I want them.
Also, as they both use OPML to back up, I can easily sync them

Come on now, give me your best #environmental #documentaries, you'll help me get idea for some public screening we are planning to do

It is a nightmare. We had a lot of ideas and projects, which I talked about in another post, and right now we had to go through 3 meetings, have been insulted and are facing a lot of irrational, angry resistance for just proposing to do a 200 liters #composting bin for the kitchen scraps in a leftist, squatted social center.

I'm not sure if being more annoyed to the irrational resistance or to the people that, by supporting the idea, are actively keeping us going there to discuss it... again... and again... and again... since one month and counting.

If their point is draining us of any enthusiasm, it's working like a charm.

I've just redesigned my experimental garden's shape. I couldn't stand all those keyholes and weird paths anymore.

Wrote a small article about it, which is like a long toot with more pictures, in case anyone is curious about it: http://www.arteteco.com/20shapes/

My #phylogenetics professor wants us to work with BioEdit. This program is:

* #proprietarysoftware, even though free (as in free beer)
* Only works with Windows, can't even manage to install it on VM with Wine.
* **is unmaintained since 2009**.

Please #FOSS and #science community, help me find something I can work it that doesn't feel like wearing a shoe filled with beans, or at least install this thing... seems like winxp is slow up to uselessness in VM for some reason.

Thanks!

I'd like to donate my corpse to science, when time comes, but on the other hand I'd hate to see the research done on me to be copyrighted by big journals and to be a part in this closed-source science progression.

I wonder if I can donate my body to science with a Creative Common license...

@syndikalista I agree. When I hear people saying "yeah, I'm not good with technology", I'm tempted to reply "oh, but you cook so well!"

seems like the experiment of growing oyster mushrooms on simple recycled cardboard is going good, they are pinning easily... not sure how nutritious they'll come up to be though. Any idea on how the boost it?

Ok, that's my new compost bin.

The 220 l barrel is resting on those small 4 wheels, so that turning it just takes a few seconds, and inside there are 2 half pvc tubes to help mixing.

It is my first compost tumbler, so we'll see how it goes. My main concern is that it reaches the critical mass needed to trigger the composting process, and that is doesn't take long (I need quick compost).

Meanwhile it looks good, and using it is really so easy that even my 9 yo brother can do it!

(Pink lighter on the side for scale reference, I'm sure @PonderingCreek will appreciate)

Seems like my #VerticalGardening is working... spinach, cabbages, lettuce and 2 tomatoes (just to experiment). The fertility is replenish by #composting kitchen scraps from an increasing amount of neighbors, which I plan to repay in food.

That's just a test, if it works properly I expect my yard walls to be covered by fall =D

It is quite difficult to explain evolutionary stable strategies (and their relation to the environmental situation) to people without getting your hands dirty with long #GameTheory examples.

I found this really neat online interactive guide that really, feels a lot like a game and is very enjoyable.

Give it a try!

It is FOSS, code is here: https://github.com/ncase/trust/

@mooselwhipes
Welcome here!
You like to teach and educate, I like to learn, that's a match!

@freemo

@codepuppy

I'm surely forgetting many more, but I'd also say, if you are looking for cool science leaning persons, @InvaderXan @spinflip , @freemo , @pwgallagher, @imvectech, @dereklh

As instances, I enjoy and respect a lot the people from sunbeam.city, mastodon.art, qoto.org, social.coop and refactorcamp.org, between others.

@arkayar @mona

Rocks!

@spinflip A warm welcome! I did quite some chemistry exams in my career, and I'm very happy to have more scientists aboard from different fields to learn from.

Seems like qoto is going in the right direction.

I understand he wants to kill half of the population in each planet, but:
* Are the lifeforms going to be like half of each species by individual, by the kilo..?
* Or will it be half of the total life, so it wouldn't matter how much of each species is present?
* Is he considering viruses a form of life?
* Will be half of each age, for example half of kids, half of adults, half of old people..?
* Will it be randomized in terms of location? For example, half every x square meters?

So many questions...

This is the Fiascone, or Re Umberto #tomato. It's native from the Amalfi coast, and is probably the father of more famous tomatoes like the San Marzano. First accounts of it is at the end of the 19th century, when was donated to King Umberto.

Was thought lost, until a few years ago some plants have been found, and now is a must have for every seed-saver in my area!

Strong plant, easy to cultivate, quite pest resistant, solid in drought.
This specific ripe fruit is quite small because it was grown in pot, but the green on the side is the same variety grown in ground.

Personal favorite tomato of mine.

Ok, second part of my #Psychology of #climatechange article is out.

I put way more effort into this one, but it may still suck.

I'd love an opinion if someone reads it, especially if you are into the environmental or psychology field.

Matters I try to understand here:
* What are the psychological effects of climate change?
* How do people cope with it?
* How do you open an eggplant with an hammer?

Ok, working on the second part of the psychology of #climatechange. I promise, it will be better than the previous.

Meanwhile, a significative meme

So, this is a summary of some researcher I've read about how people perceive #climatechange.

This article is like a long toot, don't judge me: I'm out of my depth talking about psychology and I know it, I'm just sharing some thoughts.
