ИИ помогает создавать лекарства, опираясь на белковые структуры


Giving Friendica another go, so here's a bit of an introl!


I was born in a city in Yorkshire, known by the name of the river that runs through it!
Not sure how long I lived there because (one of) my parents became homesick and the family returned to the Red Rose side o f the Pennines - Preston in Lancashire, so my first memories are of growing up in a new council house during the '50s. I have lived in and around Preston ever since.
Got married in the mid '70's and she has put up with me to this day.
After secondary school I had a few jobs then worked for a major employer in the Preston area for almost 40 years before taking early retirement. Have now been retired over 12 years.
I like reading, mostly scifi, listen to various genres of music (eclectic mix), enjoy walking in the local countryside.

Hello New Site


I've been working on divorcing myself from FB and finally hit the point of Oh Fuck It. So now I'm here.

I'm a queer indie author (nonbinary aro/ace) who writes books (SF, Fantasy, Mystery, mostly) and does watercolor and sewing as hobbies.

To say that I'm avoiding looking at the news right now is putting it mildly.

You can find me on Dreamwidth, on Pillowfort and on Mastodon as well.

All my books are available DRM-free from most sites. Still working on getting my website set up for direct sales but hopefully I'll manage that this year. *knocks on wood*

Anyway, I'm hopeful that this won't be misery the way FB has been for literal years.

*waves*

Emigrating from facebook


Facebook has been an annoyance for quite some time. Though their recent censorship has gotten to extreme levels and I no longer feel I can be part of facebook or anything Meta. I am hoping to connect to friends here and make some new ones. I blogged on this topic earlier.

Little Drone, Big Damage - Drone that bent this wing weighed less than half a pound


Photos of the internal damage caused by a drone strike on the wing of a CL-415 waterbomber in California 10 days ago show that even tiny drones pack a punch. The drone, pieces of which were recovered from inside the wing, has been identified as weighing less than half a pound. The impact over Pacific Palisades bent the front of a rib and a horizontal leading edge member, and the water-scooping amphib required significant repairs.

Deactivate and uninstall


I don't trust #meta will delete my #facebook or #instagram or #threads data when I delete my accounts. Until i figure out what to do long term, these are the steps I've taken:

* uninstalled facebook, messenger, and threads apps (kept ig initially)
* made sure my meta account is not linked to fb or ig (I have an oculus quest that is useless without a meta account and I have not decided what I will do about that)
* changed my name to something ridiculous on facebook
* changed my username to someone else (breaks the url I was associated with)
* disconnected from all apps and cleared history and fucked with anything else I could in the facebook settings
* started manually deleting media, posts, and comments (not sure if i will continue this since it's probably pointless)
* disconnected from all apps and cleared history and fucked with anything else I could in the instagram settings and then deactivated it
* uninstalled instagram

What have you done so far and what else are you planning? There is lots more to do.
