Thanks for that! I go back to the "I'll believe it when I see it" holding pattern. Still, sounds like progress :)

www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202... - here it says that mecfs is NOT a genetic disorder, but I thought that the DecodeME study (to which I gave my DNA) showed that it was. Are there any science explainers out there? What's the story?

Scarf and cardigan worn together for the first time, now ready to be given as a present. All my #knitting ends up baggy, I've got a ton more learning to do. Still, I'm pleased with these two :)

Why I Am an Anarchist Benjamin Zephaniah Why I Am an Anarchist June 2019

theanarchistlibrary.org/library/benj.... Deep inside I say a big thank you to the wonderful and sadly lost, #BenjaminZephaniah. I saw and really heard him do a poetry gig in my teens and was genuinely inspired. May he rest in peace.

We are not happy about either in my view. The frame of the question is false but I see what you're getting at. We didn't fight hard enough with all the surveillance. It crept up bit by bit.

Neovim Hyperextensible Vim-based text editor

It's a newer version of 'vim' - neovim.io. If you get mastery of using this editor the world of linux. It's only a suggestion, but it is a very powerful editor and I find it much more fun than MSWord. It's VERY different and takes quite a bit of learning.

@mishellbaker.bsky.social best of luck with all things linux! I'm a long time user and will gladly help if I can when questions come up that searching doesn't answer. Just for the neovim editor alone linux is just wondrous :)

Positivism - Wikipedia

Do you really mean 'positivist' as in Comte (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positiv...), or 'being positive' like an optimist?

About a quarter of the posts I see have a title, a picture and a blurb which repeats the title. It's redundant and annoys, just venting..

You convinced me to give it another go and now I'm really hooked. Apparently there's a spinoff series set in Yorkshire, UK - The Ee Bye Eck'spanse!
