Mosses and other bryophytes aren’t like vascular plants because they don’t have to be. That doesn’t mean they’re more primitive. The idea that they are “less evolved” is a gross misunderstanding of evolution. Most extant moss species are actually more recent than many vascular plants. Also, bryophyte-dominated landscapes, namely sphagnum bogs, sequester more carbon than all forests combined. Learn more about bryophytes and pervasive misconceptions:

Dwi'n dysgu Cymraeg ar hyn o bryd, but thanks to snooping around on Duolingo seems I'm now also learning Irish Gaelic! I wanted to anyway but in a year or so... But now I'm here, does anyone have any Irish resources that can help me along? Diolch! Go raibh maith agat!

I want to recognize all the amazing work that has gone into being able to run @postmarketOS on my new PinePhone. I'm privileged to be in a position to watch the capabilities and UX continue to evolve. The hardware teams at @PINE64 and a lot of software teams have contributed hours of work to make this possible. Big thanks to you all!

Who else would know what's best for their life than the person who is living it. I am a whole person, a fully adult human.

"This is something central to a woman's life, to her dignity. It's a decision that she must make for herself. And when government controls that decision for her, she's being treated as less than a fully adult human responsible for her own choices." RBG

Made yet another blog post about the #pinephone camera, up to part 3 already :)

> Let's talk about safety of #Pinephone
<<... I'm trying to be a bit inflamatory here, to start the conversation. Nevertheless, the above issues are real. It's really just a numbers game. When the distros will not take safety seriously, by planing for it, testing for it, and verifying the mechanisms they are supposed to ensure are in place for the safety of their users, the odds somehting will happen will stay needlessly high.

Also, don't be a person whose house burns down for FOSS. Ask your favorite distribution's authors what they're doing to make their OS safe. Pine64 itself can only go so far to ensure safety of Pinephone, software you put on your Pinephone matters a lot, too!>>

@rysiek @davidoclubb #Brexit would have been hard with a competent government starting with a moderate version. What happens is beyond comprehension. RIP

I made a flow chart of which #Mastodon posts end up in which timelines!

So, you can see how each instance will have a different local timeline, and even a slightly different federated timeline - and you can see why the federated timeline moves so much faster than the local one, too.

Image quality improvements for the #pinephone rear camera. This is getting somewhere :)

In Cardiff, Llanelli, or Swansea and want to know about the new lockdown rules? Here they are:

These take place from 6pm this Sunday (27th September). They're not actually different from what you've hopefully been doing already when/if possible, so no worries there. #Wales #Cymru #Lockdown #Swansea #Llanelli #Cardiff #Caerdydd

Cool.
