  • Thanks for sharing, seems you both had a great chat!

    It got a bit sad at the end, but all thing in life can’t be all happy and upbeat, life is a rollercoaster!

    How you both are doing well!

    Random thought, could lemmy integrate an opensource(FOSS?) discord-ish type of voice chat?

    It would give our community a way to listen or hear other live humans, that may share hobbies or like to interact in discussions, hahaha

    I know Louis Rossmann is working with company that is trying to make one, don’t know how popular it is…

    Here is another I found with a search: Revolt: An Open-Source Alternative to Discord









  • Interesting news about North Korea:

    Unpacking North Korea’s advancements in rocketry. Late last month, North Korea signaled it has made—or more accurately, is still trying to make—a pretty big leap in rocket technology. The isolated totalitarian state’s official news agency said it tested a new type of satellite launcher on May 27 powered by petroleum fuel and cryogenic liquid oxygen propellant. This is a radical change in North Korea’s rocket program, and it took astute outside observers by surprise. Previous North Korean rockets used hypergolic propellants, typically hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide, or solid fuels, which are also well-suited for military ballistic missiles. Kerosene and liquid oxygen, on the other hand, aren’t great propellants for missiles but are good for a pure space launcher.

    My attempt at a callback (reply):

    Mom: Your CPU (brain) can’t handle the L1 cache parameters you are attempting to achieve, until you expand your regularization abilities (chair too small for the cloths you wish to access quickly and brain too disorganized to be useful).

    Mom: So run a Disk Cleanup (organize your closet) or prepare to meet the blue screen of death (you are about to catch some hands from big mama; mom is good at fighting).







  • The researchers — made up of scientists and animal welfare advocates — revealed this new cat in a study published earlier this month in the journal Animal Genetics and gave its uncommon cat coloring the name salmiak, after a popular salty licorice in Finnish, to invoke the salt and pepper fur of this kitty.

    Research was “First published: 09 May 2024”

    Abstract

    Cats with a distinctive white hair pattern of unknown molecular cause have been discovered in the Finnish domestic cat population. Based on the unique appearance of these cats, we have named this phenotype salmiak (“salty licorice”). The use of a commercially available panel test to genotype four salmiak-colored cats revealed the absence of all known variants associated with white-haired phenotypic loci: full White (W), Spotting (Ws) and the Birman white Gloves associated (wg) allele of the KIT proto-oncogene (KIT) gene. Whole-genome sequencing on two salmiak-colored cats was conducted to search for candidate causal variants in the KIT gene. Despite a lack of coding variants, visual inspection of the short read alignments revealed a large ~95 kb deletion located ~65 kb downstream of the KIT gene in the salmiak cats. Additional PCR genotyping of 180 domestic cats and three salmiak-colored cats confirmed the homozygous derived variant genotype fully concordant with the salmiak phenotype. We suggest the newly identified variant be designated as wsal for “w salmiak”.
