I've been here for a little while now, I guess it's about time I wrote an #introduction post!

Hi! I'm Max.
I'm an MD PhD in biomedical informatics, though you might never have guessed from my posts!

I love tinkering with computers, code, draw, so I'm much more inclined to talk about #linux and #foss, #generativeart and #art.

I'm currently following a long-time passion of mine, which is making video games, and I chose to do so on the wonderful #PlayDate! #gamedev

In case you are like me and have always wondered what was in garum, the iconic fermented fish oil popular in the ancient Roman world: At last, we have an answer! Archaeologists analyzing DNA in an Iberian garum workshop have discovered ... SARDINES! (Obviously people might have used different fish in other areas, which will be the focus of future studies.) cambridge.org/core/journals/anโ€ฆ

English garum, aka Worcestershire* Sauce, is anchovies.

* Pronounced Wooster, as in Bertie.

The image shows a screenshot of two tweets on a dark background. The first tweet is from a user named Kur, with the handle [@]ShakursWorld. The tweet reads: "Your bladder hit DIFFERENT when you're putting the key in the door" followed by several laughing emojis. The second tweet is from a user named Tristan, with the handle [@]AyoTristan. It reads: "That bladder connect to the home wifi and it's time to GO." Both tweets are presented in a typical social media format, with the user's name, handle, and profile picture visible above the text. The overall tone of the tweets is humorous, focusing on a relatable situation.

Weeding out my contacts


I'm cleaning up my list of contacts here, I'm getting more and more irritated by people who only post screenshots.

@Robert Reich was the first to go, for posting only #screenshots of his messages on #BlueSky, without even adding #alttext.

Not sure why people do that, but I'm not having it anymore.





The US is to phase out security assistance programmes for European armies along Russiaโ€™s border, as it pushes the continent to pay for more of its own defence.

At least seven EU states, including #Hungary, #Slovakia, and #Luxembourg, reportedly back Russian billionaire Mikhail #Fridmanโ€™s bid to overturn sanctions, with others like #Italy and #Greece viewing it favorably, though removal efforts failed in March.

in reply to Hanse Mina

having these terrorist countries are in EU keeps them financially dependent on the human world. but why do these terrorism groups get a vote in things that can partially free them from that dependency and strengthen the ties between terrorists? the EU's decision to empower terrorists is dangerous.
it would be much better for everyone, including the terrorists themselves, to DISEMPOWER them. lock them in to dependency that can ultimately rehabilitate or at least control them.
