Check out the important work our volunteers accomplished at last Friday's Free Software Directory (FSD) IRC meeting: https://u.fsf.org/46e #FSD #FSF #Fibers #Forgejo #GNU #GNUShepherd #GNUMPFR
A blog post written to get my head around #guile #hoot and #fibers, based on my 2024 December Adventure:

The folks at #spritely were really patient and helpful. I am very grateful for the excellent feedback I received from Dave Thompson. Many thanks to this team!
Any corrections and/or clarifications are really appreciated.
While it is still early days, I think the #spritely software stack is really promising!
About 24 hours later, I was able to start rinsing them off and was surprised to see that the yellowed items were still yellow.
After a lot of research I was able to dig up the materials the lamp is made from, and learned that the #diffuser (#fibres / #fibers ) are acrylic, not glass.
This led me to some far more useful information, as searching for #FibreOptics tends to give a lot of info about specialised #data cabling, not #decor.

The Human #Microbiome Is Going Extinct, Scientists Say. The End Will Be Devastating.
by Tim Newcomb, May 19, 2023
"The human microbiome is endangered. And that’s not a good thing for your health—or the health of the rest of the world.
"A new documentary, The Invisible Extinction, highlights how the human microbiome—also known as the bacteria and microorganisms living within the human body, most prevalent in the gut—is on the verge of extinct. And it’s all your fault.
"In a discussion with People, two researchers behind the doc, Martin Glaser and Gloria Dominguez-Bello, say the human microbiome is essential for us to digest food, make vitamins, and train our immune systems. “When we eat,” Blaser tells People, “we are nourishing both our human cells and also our microbial cells.”
"The slow death of the human microbiome is thanks to our modern way of life. We use #antibiotics to kill off bad bacteria. But antibiotics kill off plenty of the good stuff, too. Blaser says the more antibiotics given to a child, the more likely they are to develop a range of illnesses. Blaser adds that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates about one-third of antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary, leading to the overuse.
"Then there’s the highly #processed, chemical-laden #food that’s wreaking havoc on our gut health. “The single most important component of the diet to feed the microbiome is fiber,” Dominguez-Bello says. These #fibers feed your microbiome, while #ProcessedFood removes the fiber, posing a negative result for your microbiome.
"The researchers want better options for the antibiotic issue, both with improved testing to see if a bacterial infection is really in play, and by developing new antibiotics that don’t have the “collateral damage that are killing every bacterium inside.”
“We are making a complete mess of biodiversity, including microbial,” Dominguez-Bello says. “Microbes are essential in every ecosystem, not only in humans or animals or plants, but also in the oceans. He whole thing is linked together by impact of human activities. We need to preserve microbes because they really modulate functions of Earth. They modulate the climate. They modulate everything. They modulate our own gene expression.”
"The human microbiome is a big deal. Let’s not kill it."
There is one more for this week's #Newstodon:
Meat substitute: a realistic steak made from plant proteins
With a new type of fiber technology, the startup "Project Eaden" imitates the structure of pieces of meat. Visually, the product already looks very real.
