Group making an open-source and patent free COVID drug using the computers of volunteers (sidock.si)

SiDock is an international scientific collaboration using the computers of volunteers to search through vast chemical space to find a cure for COVID-19. This will produce an open source, patent-free, shelf-stable antiviral that can be used across the world and purchased for low cost....

Did you know that you can donate your computer's spare computational power to scientific research? (sopuli.xyz)

Help find genes correlated with cancer, map the galaxies, or develop an open-source covid therapeutic. Whatever area of science you are interested in, there is a BOINC project you can participate in. Some of them (like the black hole database) will even credit you for your findings!...

The Large Hadron Collider - Europe's Crown Jewel of Physics Research and One of the Largest International Scientific Collaborations (lemmy.ml)

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerators with a 27km circumference with over 9,000 magnets that can generate 9 billion collisions per second. It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addition to CERN’s accelerator complex. The LHC consists of a...

SETI advance hopes to parse alien radio from Earthly static (interestingengineering.com)

Gets me excited about another projects like SETI@Home coming along. The BOINC platform (which SETI@Home used to distribute work) is alive and well. You can contribute your spare computational power to finding pulsars, curing cancer, and more. !boinc

Commercial transactions -

Aaah, the kind of transaction that most transactions are?

Operated by providers

Aah, so any business which accept crypto must KYC every one of their customers. This makes accepting crypto especially burdensome, which is half the point of this legislation in the first place.

So non-commercial transations are fine, as are crypto transactions to non-custodial wallets.

Unless you’re using the wallet to buy or sell something. You know, the thing people use money for.

Why does the government need to have every transaction reported to them? Crime is bad because it causes harm. If harm is being caused, that means a person or entity is causing that harm. That means there is evidence. Follow that.

Police have more surveillance and crime-detecting tools than at any point in human history. Nearly every category of crime, particularly violent crime, is on a decades-long downtrend. We all travel with GPS monitors in our pockets. We all use credit cards instead of cash. We all are recorded by CCTV 90% of the places we go. We don’t need to give them more financial surveillance because ‘crime’.

Mildly notable social media moment for me watching a Dr Becky video on YT.

In listing her "socials" she's got , and (and of course ).

link below

Is this the new central axis of social media?

Which is funny cuz I've never really been to any of those. No accounts and only visited IG a few times because something else linked there for some information.

Also, I didn't really notice Threads was succeeding.

I post about !boinc a bunch on mastodon hopefully to get some excitement from astrophysics folks, there’s tons of cool boinc projects doing astrophysics research. Science runs on twitter, and many scientists are desperately searching for an alternative, imo it’s only a matter of time before they all end up on mastodon or nostr.
