wossabon The first early human eggs from stem cells

How would you know?

wossabon Cyberdecks, going analog, and convivial technology

I live in a village with 2.000 people and about 25 common Whatsapp channels. And it is hell. Sometimes, you really don't want to interact with your neighbors beyond the courtesy "hello". These people don't have anything in common with you, other than your coordinates on the map. That's no basis for a functional community in the online sense.

And teeth. This stuff will do nasty things to your gums. And receded gums never recover.

wossabon Iran war wreaking havoc on shipping and air cargo, could create global delays

Iran is firmly sided with China and Russia. China buys all their oil and doesn't want to see US/Israel expand their reach. They are very likely to support Iran.

On their end, Iran has been preparing for exactly this for decades. If anything, the complexity of the globalized market means more weak points to strike. Which in 2026 is cheap and easy with swarms of drones. Meanwhile, the US is still carrying out precision attacks with expensive ordnance which they have limited supplies of.

TL;DR: Capital might very well lose this one.

wossabon Microsoft's new Outlook client moves your email to the cloud

Outlook has been falling apart at the seams for a while now. But I cannot find a email client that supports multiple exchange servers and parses calendar invites in a way that's compatible with Teams. I'm the first to jeet Outlook if Thunderbird will do this but I'm also open to suggestions here.

wossabon Blender Open Movies. Featuring all the production files, assets, and artwork

You spelled 'brands' wrong. We will see a cascade of advertorials and sponsored video content. The low cost to entry and cheap hardware will make video advertising more prevalent in places where we now have stills or even print. Moving images everywhere.

wossabon Linux Air Combat: free, lightweight and open-source combat flight simulator

War Thunder has a zillion planes, 3 modes of realism (including the one you want), runs native on LINUX and is free to try.

wossabon Underwater ears everywhere

While your post is informative, it's kind of disingenuous to claim a link between two phenomena when there is none, seemingly because you needed to say something bad about Dutch ships in some way. It's a shame really, because it detracts from the quality of your other links.

wossabon Underwater ears everywhere

It wasn't just a sunk craft. They sunk a carrier. That's painful. Your wikipedia entry is kind of weird, since it's about Australia and there are no Dutch ships in the list for the last century or so.
