Thanks to #FreeSoftware developers, the German #CoronaWarnApp for tracing #COVID19 risk contacts is available on @fdroidorg without any Google dependencies. This not only fosters software freedom, but also sets the ground for innovative features.
Simply great: https://matrix.org/blog/2020/12/07/gitter-now-speaks-matrix
Finally, all public #usegalaxy gitter channels can be accessed through matrix!
Well done @matrix
Now I'd only wish there was a mobile client with support for multiple accounts that I could use for professional *and* private communication.
Been participating in #BioHackEU20 this week, which was of course virtual instead of in Barcelona. #remo https://remo.co/ worked really well, but as a colleague put it: participating from at home feels like regular work - just interrupted with more video conferencing.
The socialising part of such a meeting suffers heavily.

Always keep in mind, "despite all our technological advances we are completely dependent on healthy and vibrant ecosystems for our water, food, medicines, clothes, fuel, shelter and energy, just to name a few" https://www.un.org/en/observances/biological-diversity-day #BiologicalDiversityDay

RIGHT!!! Riot has turned on End-to-End Encryption by default for all private conversations, and Cross-Signing device verification has landed and is live (and 🤞 performant!) 🎉🎉🎉 Huge amounts of work went into this: https://matrix.org/blog/2020/05/06/cross-signing-and-end-to-end-encryption-by-default-is-here has the overview.

Another article by Tomas Pueyo at https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-the-hammer-and-the-dance-be9337092b56
The topic is more complicated than last time, but he explains things really well. Again, a must-read on #COVID19 !

Real subtle, guys. Real Subtle

Been all busy last week helping finalize https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.21.959973v1 on analyzing publicly available #covid sequence data on open platforms with only #opensource tools in transparent ways.
If you ever felt tempted to explore coronavirus raw sequencing data yourself, it's now easier than ever with our instructions and data in https://github.com/galaxyproject/SARS-CoV-2
and #usegalaxy workflows. Your comments, suggestions and contributions to the repo are welcome!
https://usegalaxy.org has done it: first big public #usegalaxy server to run on #Python 3. Looks good so far, but be prepared for teething troubles over the next days.
It's still early here, but I'm tempted to call this the tip of the day
https://f-droid.org/app/org.dslul.openboard.inputmethod.latin works like a charm for me and removes one more piece of google from my phone.

“...The hydrogen pathway used by Solar Foods is about 10 times as efficient as photosynthesis. But because only part of a plant can be eaten, while the bacterial flour is mangetout, you can multiply that efficiency several times. And because it will be brewed in giant vats the land efficiency, the company estimates, is roughly 20,000 times greater. Everyone on Earth could be handsomely fed, and using a tiny fraction of its surface.”

Oooh, #Poetry for #Python #DependencyManagement looks neat! https://pypi.org/project/poetry/ & https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=python+poetry&sp=EgIIBQ%253D%253D
Did they finally come around to #Rstats' DESCRIPTION file ( http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/description.html) concept? ;->
