@Gordon_Freeman As of 2019:
Well, all went a bit quiet. Partly because the Montreal-based company leading the way, Nexia Biotechnologies, a company spun out of McGill University, swiftly went bust and sold its two GM goats — Sugar and Spice — to the Canada Agriculture Museum in Ottawa, which in 2013 removed its genetically-engineered goats from display amid public pressure.
Quiet momentum continues, however, under Dr Randy Lewis of Utah State University and his team. Though he is unaware of the whereabouts of Sugar and Spice today, his lab looks after over twenty goats capable of producing silky milk.

@roldyclark @End0fLine Well, if you are interested in the US gov’t:

@stopthatgirl7 This seems like quite the lift and shift. Moving to a new platform would definitely split their user based. I would also thin that any form of aggressive defederation would split their user base as well. From what I can tell, there are not many (if any) fediverse platforms that have the level of moderation tools they they are looking for.
Unfortunately, It just looks like they are in a tight spot. One the could make or break that community.
I have not noticed many spammers here on kbin. But, when I do, the way I handle it is:
@perviouslyiner There is a need for it. America as whole needs a more robust public transportation system.
@idoubtit Gotta love those titles!
TIL: There was something called Google Flights.

@waspentalive Weird. Shows up just fine for me. I have never seen a captcha on archive.is. But here is the original, but it is paywalled: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2388697-plastic-bottles-can-be-recycled-into-energy-storing-supercapacitors/
Sounds like they need their own mastodon server.
Go home #Xitter, you’re drunk.
The biggest thing to note about the new messenger, by far, is that the developer intends to provide end-to-end encryption. More impressively, the app is intended to work with any Fediverse account.
This would make cross communication across the fediverse easier and may even interest others to join. It gives a leg up to the InstaRedFaceXTwitThreadApps since you can just use your one fediverse account.
There are definitely some open questions about how Sup works with the rest of the Fediverse. Do users just sign in to a service via an OAuth dance with their Fediverse accounts? Do the messages federate over ActivityPub? Does my server store my messages, or does just the app store those?
These questions and more would have to be answered before I signed up though.
@JoBo I just googled it and Kenya came up as the first hit in Search and in Bard.
Space.com would probably appreciate the clicks.

@Midnitte Waste handling has me curious as well.
