  • Bioinformaticians Discover Genes in Bacterial Genomes are Arranged in a Meaningful Order

  • Right! I've also always been blown away knowing their DNA is circular. Probably since they don't have a nucleus, but not totally sure.

  • I am really considering moving from Arch to Fedora. What's your experience with this?

    Jump

  • Ya, RPM Fusion is handled by a 3rd party I'm pretty sure. But I was thinking more along the lines of what software is available though.

  • I am really considering moving from Arch to Fedora. What's your experience with this?

    Jump

  • I'd have to think RPM Fusion is comparable to the AUR, no? I've never used Arch btw, but I do know Fedora pretty well.

  • The fact she see's this as a marketing opportunity is repulsive. Truly makes me loath those with power in the US government. Even Arizona seeing as this lady believes this BS would be well received there.

  • C'est la vie, especially these days. All you can do is come to terms with knowing we each have an expiration date and just live it up until that inevitable day.

  • Gonna give Linux another try, any guidance is welcome!

    Jump

  • For anyone new to the Linux world, I can't recommend Learn Linux TV enough. He has a video walking through this exact process, here's an Invidious and YouTube link for it.

    As far as dual booting goes, issues can arise after updates. I recall this happening a few months back due to a Windows update. So just be aware of this possibly happening down the road. I need Windows for work at times too, but I strictly use a VM. I've hated Microsoft since Windows 8, their amount of user tracking is bonkers and a big part of why I just use a VM. This is just food for thought though.

  • Is there a well-supported secondary SMS phone number service?

    Jump

  • JMP Chat works in the US even though they're based in Canada. I highly recommend the service, it's absolutely fantastic!

  • Is there a well-supported secondary SMS phone number service?

    Jump

  • Definitely checkout JMP Chat, they're actually based in Canada and offer super affordable alternative phone numbers. Using their Cheogram app even lets you incorporate it fully into your phone, so when you call, it'll ask which number you'd like to use for the call. Calling has limited minutes each month, but the overage charges are very reasonable. It comes with unlimited texting as well. They encrypt everything on their end and it's fully open source!

  • What's the best Firefox-based browser?

    Jump

  • The add-on's are solid. They have an elaborate curated list, plus you can access any of the mobile extentions by just searching for em.

    I've made BestOf, a repository of the best things in their respective categories!

  • Obsidian isn't FOSS, but two fantastic replacements are Standard Notes and Notesnook.

    A great paint option I don't see listed is KolourPaint, plus Kdenlive for video editing. For audio editing, Tenacity is the better choice over Audacity. It's an Audacity fork made after some questionable privacy policy changes.

    CryptPad is an awesome Google Doc's replacement, but Libre Office is actively working on their version too.

    For your security section, adding some encryption software would be smart. Both VeraCrypt and Cryptomator are amazing. Also, Bitwarden/Vaultwarden are solid password manager alts for KeePassXC, with Vaultwarden being self hosted.

    Here's a great site for all sorts of Lemmy clients.

    As far as Linux laptops go, System 76's Darter Pro is also a solid choice. Tuxedo is probably System 76's biggest competition, as they offer very comparable laptops. Their InfinityBook Pro is a great computer. Frameworks, Slimbook, and Star Labs are all also worth a mention.

  • What's the best Firefox-based browser?

    Jump

  • Definitely recommend replacing Fennec with IronFox on mobile, it's a fork of Mull, so it'll be a solid privacy upgrade!

  • Why the F*CK Were BBC & Guardian Editors Meeting an Israeli General During a Genocide?

    Jump

  • Exactly! This is a big reason why all corporate media still endlessly states Hamas killed 1200 Israelis 10/7, while it's now known Israel used the Hannibal Directive and were responsible for at least a few hundred of the deaths. This was even stated by the man in change of the Israeli military at the time too...

  • I ended that last chunck of text with /s. But at the same time, it wouldn't suprise me at all if this was the case.

  • These Seven Banks Have Supplied Israel’s Genocide in Gaza to the Tune of $20BN

    Jump

  • I was pretty suprised not to see Wells Fargo in the mix, but I'd bet they're in the top 10. Regardless, they're in the top 4 for oil funding, so that alone earns them none of my business!

  • Winapps for work stuff

    Jump

  • A virtual machine is the move, I've had a great experience with virt-manager. Strongly recommend debloating the windows VM if Microsoft is getting on your nerves. Here's my go to software: https://github.com/raphire/win11debloat

    Worksorks on both windows 10 & 11. It'll allow you to remove telemetry, tracking, and even software Microsoft prevents you from uninstalling. I just can't get it to remove Edge. But MentalOutlaw has a fantastic walk through of the process on his YT channel if you want some guidance with the debloating process.

  • Go buy a linux book at a charity shop or a library sale!

    Jump

  • I have an old Fedora book which still has a Fedora 15 disk in it! Helped me realize on old PC's to burn the ISO onto a DVD for installation instead of finding a work around for not having a USB boot option in the BIOS.

  • The fact USAID is supposed to provide aid to people around world in need of help, yet this aid is just a smoke screen to cover for the funding of coup's on governments which oppose the US empire...
