Samsung phones have an option of scheduled autorestart; I have mine set to restart once every week at a scheduled time.
New Class of Antibiotics Proves Potent Against Multi-Drug Resistant Bacteria
A new class of antibiotics capable of combating multi-drug resistant bacteria and treating bloodstream infections in mice has been unveiled by Uppsala University scientists. Scientists at Uppsala University have discovered a new class of antibiotics with potent activity against multi-drug resista
This study describes the identification of an antibiotic class acting via LpxH, involved in lipopolysaccharide synthesis having potent in vivo efficacy against bloodstream infections caused by the critical Gram-negative pathogens E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Further development of this class of antibiotics could make an important contribution to the ongoing struggle against antibiotic resistance.

Reducing Alzheimer’s Risk by 70%
Researchers at Columbia University have identified a genetic variant that may lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease by as much as 70%, potentially protecting thousands of people across the United States from developing the condition. The discovery of the protective variant, which appears to allow
This study attempts to identify the “protective” genetic factors that can modify or reduce the effect of APOEε4 on Alzheimer’s disease risk and to identify new pathogenic mechanisms, proteins, and pathways that inform development of therapeutic targets and diagnostics.

I'm very new to using rss. Recently I have come across people mentioning about adding rss feeds of youtube channels to rss readers. I'm curious to know how to get the URL of youtube channel rss so I could add it to my reader (I hope I am wording it correctly). I am using feeder app.
I have frequently used tts for listening to epubs. I have, however, not noticed much battery drain... And it's not as enjoyable as listening to an audiobook read by a narrator you like but it kind of works to a certain extent. So I wish you tts would get better.
I hardly remember my dreams and when I do (which is usually if it has been interesting) I generally wake at some crucial point which is very annoying.
Great example! Just read the book recently and loved it. The whole tavern conversation between the two brothers was very philosophically dense and insightful.
I usually browse once a day so sort by top day. Sorting by new shows up content I've seen before after browsing for a while. With top day my feed ends when there are no more posts for the day. Also sorting by new shows up more posts than top day and I waste more time. Sorting by active brings up older posts commenting on which will probably bring less interaction. I am looking forward to trying the new weighted sorting order coming up with the next lemmy update (I am forgetting what it’s called).
Aww most adorable land mowers!
Thank you for this nuanced and unbiased write up. I have been actively avoiding this topic online and this helped me to get an idea about the background of the war going on now.
Got fed up with youtube algorithm shenanigans among other things and am just sticking to newpipe.
I want TTS made better with AI so that I won't need huge audiobooks filling up my phone. The epubs that I already have would serve as audiobooks when needed.
OK understood why you prefer bluesky.
One of the things I really like about Mastodon is that I can curate my feed to show only what I am interested in by following hashtags and/or people and muting those people whose posts I don't want to see. There's no hidden algorithm controlling my feed, pushing controversial posts towards me and other stuff. So I don't get why would you need the invite only feature of bluesky control your feed?
Really, variety of options and potential interlinkage with other kinds of Fediverse projects is what really excites me about the Fediverse.
Oh yes, this reason makes sense.
I guess different people have different use cases. I am enjoying Mastodon and have had positive interactions with people. I have also found a lot of good quality content there. Additionally, I totally avoid political stuff so haven't had any issues of political stuff messing up my feed. IMO the invite only thing is just increasing attractiveness by creating artificial scarcity.
I have around 600-700 books, that include study books and novels.
Still reading the Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. More than 70% through. Absolutely love it! I think this book is a 5 ⭐ read for me. I don't want this book to get over. I don't know what to read next!
The newly discovered letter, written by a German Jesuit to Pope Pius XII’s personal secretary, suggests that the pope knew of Hitler’s atrocities but chose to remain silent.
The nations are taking bold steps in the espionage shadow war to try to collect intelligence on leadership thinking and military capabilities.

Four-year-old Gingee has had her paws on a child's spade, pair of goggles, sieve and even a knife.
Feline thief Gingee, a four-year-old Maine Coon, has been ransacking nearby homes in Buckley, Flintshire.
The most startling moment for owners Jay Phoenix, 43 and Mathew Westlake-Toms, 31, was when Gingee delivered a stolen knife to their bedroom at night.
