  2. Who needs #BioLabs when there's all sorts of #bacteria about to be exposed after thousands of years!

    Researchers issue warning after making grim #Antarctic discovery: 'We are only beginning to understand'

    Story by Daysia Tolentino, January 29, 2026

    Excerpt: "A study published in the journal #Biocontaminant examined the effects of #GlacialMelting on our #WaterSupply.

    "#Glaciers serve as reservoirs for #AntibioticResistanceGenes, or #ARGs, and other #microbes. When they are released from the ice, they enter our water systems, posing a major health risk to people downstream.

    "Millions of people get their water from glacier-fed rivers and lakes. ARGs are strands of DNA that make bacteria more resistant to drugs. When ARGs in #meltwater make their way into our water supply, they become a global public health risk.

    "The study emphasizes the importance of viewing glaciers, rivers, and lakes as being part of a 'glacier continuum.' This means they are an interconnected system rather than separate environments.

    Why are melting glaciers concerning?

    "From our gas-powered cars to #overconsumption, human activity has contributed to the production of heat-trapping gases that warm the planet. Rising global temperatures have caused glaciers to rapidly melt, causing elevated sea levels and releasing ARGs.

    "ARGs from melting glaciers are worrisome because they help facilitate the spread of diseases. This threat is compounded by the fact that our growing #microplastic problem is also helping #AntibioticResistant #bacteria breed. As a result, #medicines are being rendered less effective."

  4. How can you distinguish game from reality when you bring the game in the real world? How easily can players be deceived when usual alarm bells have no meaning? Here's how ARGs can easily be exploited and what players can do to avoid bad surprises.

  5. Разбираемся со звёздочками: понятное руководство по *args и **kwargs для начинающих

    Многие начинающие разработчики обходят *args и **kwargs стороной, считая их чем-то необязательным или слишком сложным. Но на самом деле, понимание этого механизма — это качественный скачок в вашем умении писать чистый, масштабируемый и по-настоящему "пайтонический" код.

  6. If you like creepy stories, look no further. This unsolved case has it all: a sinister character, a horror movie-like setting, possible violent crime victims, death threats, mythology, and sophistication. It all started when a Swedish tech blog received a CD with one file on it, named 11B-X-1371.

  7. What happens when you bring a video game concept into the real world? What if you get people to participate in it for free? ARGs (Alternate Reality Games) blur the line between fiction and reality, bringing art into the digital world and players into the real world. Is it the secret recipe for success?

  8. hellooo fedi!!!

    i am overdue for an #introduction:

    i am a transfem artist based in #adelaide, kaurna yerta and have a background in #gamedev, specifically #virtualreality. i cant stop thinking about #transreality experiences, #pervasivegames, and other transmedia storytelling ( #ARGs! ), but most of my artistic practice would be in what i would more broadly call participatory #performanceart

    i love #opensource, #diy (as in punk), #openscience, and building and pulling apart systems!!

  14. In case you missed it... last week I announced a big new project: the Center for Immersive Arts, an immersive history project and archive! cfia.org

    I'm exploring the history of alternate reality games, theater, LARP, escape rooms, theme parks, VR/XR, and more

  16. More #ARGs should use the #Fediverse.

    For example, someone could set up a Mastodon instance for an #ARG about a small fictitious county and make accounts for each citizen posting about bizarre events in the county, and can contribute to their ARG's lore by answering others' questions and generally interacting with comments from the Fediverse.

    It's like how people set up accounts for characters from their ARG on Twitter or cryptic channels on YouTube.

  19. Знайшов ще одну не погану C++ бібліотеку для розбору вхідних аргументів програми. Називається TCLAP (Templatized C++ Command Line Parser). Вона є header-only тому зібрати набагато простіше, але мені таке не дуже подобається. Подивитись більше інформації з прикладами можна тут. Поширюється бібліотека під ліцензією MIT.

    На жаль стандартне форматування помилок, довідки й версії не дуже звичне, але досить просто можна замінити на своє власне. Також було б непогано додати сучасні constexpr і таким чином пришвидшити виконання. А якщо у C++26 нарешті зʼявиться рефлексія. А з використанням C++23 можна було б замінити динамічний поліморфізм на статичний (CRTP). Ну це я вже дуже розмріявся.

  20. Anyone know of a librarian with an interest/specialty in immersive design work (including but not limited to immersive theater, escape rooms, alternate reality games/ARGs, spatial computing/VR/AR/XR, transmedia work), who would be willing to advise on metadata, organizing digital collections, and similar topics? Please send them my way!

  28. Hi! I'm Enso. Figured doing a short #introduction for new folks.

    i'm currently a student studying #UX & a #CSTEM ambassador by day, #jrpg streamer by night. i like #gaming, #anime, #tech, #visualdesign, #tech, #gamedev, #args, & #painting.

    When I'm not busy, I'm:
    + playing #HonkaiStarRail, #Falcom games, #Destiny2, or my backlog of #IndieGames.
    + making fan-made themed ARGS
    + Smothering my #cat w/ love (his name is 光: Hikari)

    Nice to meet y'all ✨💖

  30. I enjoyed reading this book on my trip:

    “I consider the experimentalism of the art practices discussed in this book in this fashion, and I analyze how artists’ readiness to devise new forms and modes of making and circulating their art—or to utilize forms and techniques from other types of social practice—is meaningful to the politics of their practice and its articulation with collective struggles.” -- Jennifer Ponce de León

  35. New study shows that composite samples taken over 24 hours at an urban #wastewater plant give a much more accurate representation of the level of antibiotic-resistant genes (#ARGs) in the water. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (#CDC), #antibiotic resistance is a global health threat responsible for millions of deaths worldwide.

  37. For the record, the reason I have worked so hard to expose online #psyops is that a long time ago, I accidentally helped invent them.

    In particular, I have fought #QAnon for 28 months because I found out it stole some of my ideas and weaponized them to hurt people. I was on the team that created “alternate reality games” or #ARGs for Spielberg, Halo, The Dark Knight, etc.

    QAnon is a malevolent ARG. ICYMI, Mike Flynn is Q.

    Over 2 years ago, I started exposing the people abusing the digital world to #radicalize people and destabilize global #liberal #democracy.

    I was banned from the #birdsite w/60k followers and smeared by hundreds of sadistic trolls because I exposed #MikeFlynn, #QAnon and the #insurrection
