First order logic / predicate #logic can be used to write a #database??? That's impressive. I thought #prolog was for epistemological proofs, but looks like I'm wrong.

Frozen sperm just as effective as fresh for insemination treatments
Patients having intrauterine insemination for fertility treatment can be reassured that the use of cryopreserved sperm instead of fresh is not associated with inferior outcomes. The largest study of its kind, whose results are presented today at the 38th annual meeting of ESHRE, found no difference in pregnancy rates between cycles using cryopreserved or fresh sperm samples. The results of the study, pr

Will @thunderbird ever support @Tutanota or @protonmail ?Both are #opensource, but I can't help but feel like they're walled gardens😶 It's either their clients or nothing. If they ever decided to close the source or their service went offline, I wouldn't be able to access a backup in a known format (.mbox?)
Is #GiveUpGithub too early? Maybe we need #federation first before breaking up the largest sourceforge into multiple instances of #gitlab, #gitea, #sourcehut, etc.
Or instead of just promoting those, we need a decentralized sourceforge like #radicle

#nixos is getting a #documentation team! Finally!
I wonder how many years in a row documentation has been the number 1 complaint. Good that they are taking it seriously after so long.
Now we wait...
(Or contribute; I bet there are people with a lot of knowledge that could be sourced)

Post Roe, women in America are right to be concerned about digital surveillance. And it's not just period-tracking apps
The reversal of Roe v. Wade by the American Supreme court last week is a watershed moment in American politics. The ruling withdraws constitutional protections for abortion rights and sends the issue to the states, around half of which are expected to ban abortions.

Kampf gegen Plastikmüll: Forscher erfinden essbare Verpackungen für Obst und Gemüse
Für in Plastik eingeschweißte Äpfel oder Avocados haben US-Wissenschaftler nun eine Alternative entwickelt. Die hält die
Ware länger frisch und ist sogar erstaunlich billig.
Why is that the narrative of personal responsibility for #climateChange and #pollution is so difficult to understand? Yes, YOU, the person reading this, and I are partially to blame. Of course we cannot see every way the products we choose to buy are destroying our #environment, but once we know, most of us don't change a thing even if we can.

It's not that hard to understand.
