Finally, our team had a wonderful time at #SXSW on Sunday and Monday, where Flipboard and @surf hosted the first #FediverseHouse. Our CEO @mike and the whole team are 100% #TeamFediverse, and were thrilled to meet and talk to so many other open social web advocates. Here’s a feature by @Markoff for @newyorktimes, where Mike, @Gargron and @reckless1280 discuss the rise of decentralized social media, and how it can help publishers and media companies survive and thrive.

Mike McCue, the chief executive of Flipboard, sees its new Surf browser as a tool to help internet users communicate without relying on a single centralized service.

"Meta has scored a legal victory against former employee Sarah Wynn-Williams, securing a temporary injunction to block the promotion and distribution of her explosive memoir, 'Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism'.”:

They can silence her because she "violated a non-disparagement clause in her 2017 severance agreement." Do not sign away your rights.

I encourage you to take advantage of your Fediverse channels.

Include relevant hashtags in captions when you post content on the social web (fediverse)—either through your Flipboard social account or in your federated Flipboard magazines.

Why?
Hashtags help your content be discoverable by users who follow or search for those topics. Using the right hashtags increases engagement and visibility.

How to Choose the Right Hashtag?
• Search for your topic on Flipboard, Mastodon, Bluesky, or other Fediverse instances.
• Check the popularity of a hashtag (e.g., on Mastodon, #Food has 1.3K mentions, while #Sports has 1K).
• Use a mix of general and specific hashtags to reach a broader audience. #Flipboard #Fediverse #SocialWeb #Blogging #ContentCuration #Publishing

Dog Kane in: "Stiletto Heels"
Autore:
Kuiry (Francesco Gaggia)
Confezione:
Rilegato filo refe
16,5 x 23,5 cm
copertina con bandelle plastificata
64 pagine
stampa offset a colori.
Sinossi:
Nova City., anni Cinquanta.
Le lucciole di Shade Park hanno un problema: un misterioso aggressore sta diventando sempre più pericoloso e Dog Kane viene ingaggiato per scovarlo e neutralizzarlo.
Ma non tutto è quello che sembra e la forma non corrisponde alla sostanza dei fatti… per questo, il detective esistenzialista decide di proseguire indipendentemente l'indagine.
Le implicazioni risulteranno sorprendenti.

Il soggetto trae spunto da un articolo di Vittorio Zucconi apparso su Repubblica il 21 giugno 1993:
“1951, la bomba atomica fa strage in America”.
Uscito nel 2018, il volume “Stiletto Heels” riprende e conclude la vicenda iniziata in “Tacchi a spillo” del 2016.

Excited to share the first paper from my team at Merck. Sometimes, in vitro translation systems like mRNA display make mistakes - but does it happen often enough to matter?

Yes, it does. We describe how you can measure and control the imperfections inherent to genetic reprogramming and IVT in order to design more effective screening libraries in your hunt for the next peptide drug.

#Comic update: I "finished" the first draft of Chapter 1 of BMF#317 a few weeks ago. I'm still really not sure what I want to do to distribute yet, so... I don't know, I don't know. I'm really tempted to just dump it online for $chooseyourprice.00 but I've heard that's a faux pas for publishers. If you have experience with publishers, I'd be interested to hear your takeaways

Since I'm starting Chapter 2 instead of writing submissions (lol) - here's the back cover of Chapter 1:
