It's frustrating because there are a few people I like, like John Green, who are on threads but not the rest of the fediverse
What I'd really like to see is more open source software making it's way into healthcare and med-tech.
I hadn't tried them until I went to one of their shops last year to try them on. I didn't really expect to like them, but wanted to give it a go and was pleasantly surprised. They are now my favourite, most comfortable shoes (although sometimes I wish they had a slightly thicker sole). It is worth noting that the insole they come with didn't last very well though (it started to crumple up in the shoe and became uncomfortable) so I replaced it with a cheap regular insole I found online and it made them even more comfortable (a bit more cushioning but still a wide toe box and flexible shoe).
I've been enjoying my Vivo barefoot shoes. But obviously they're only really good if you like having a thin sole on the shoe. They have a repair service though so that's one of the reasons I recommend them.
It would be amazing to see an electric or hydrogen fuel cell version of one of these
What is shady about Ghostery?
Retractions are important in case issues with the method are found after publication. For example, if it turns out a piece of equipment was improperly calibrated and so the results can't be trusted, a retraction of any work based on those results would be expected.
Good water recycling systems (and desalination systems for those on the coast) combined with low cost and distributed synth bio based food production (i.e. precision fermentation, or biomass fermentation) could help relieve some of the strain on the food and water needs.
N-O-D-E.net was really good but there's not been much on there recently (but still worth reading through if you've not come across it)
Yeah definitely a project worth keeping an eye on, and I think they're always looking for volunteers and collaborators
Also Amybo.org are doing open source protein fermentation.
I guess people who can afford to, and haven't already, should probably invest in air filters now in preparation
