A Marie Curie Post-doc absolutely kick-started my career.
Like everyone else, I would be happy to host a potential fellow and help develop their application if it's in my wheel house.
I've long been embedded in the Microsoft ecosystem, and a big part of that has been having my personal (and work) data held by OneDrive. Last month I finally moved 700GB of personal data over to @infomaniak.bsky.social kDrive, and so far it's been mostly great.

Postdoc advert now live! Come and work with me at the UCL Centre for Integrative Anatomy @ucl-c4ia.bsky.social on the Mediterranean Neogene insular giant fauna. You'll also get to work with a great team: @toriherridge.bsky.social @nannonstevens.bsky.social and Jesse Hennekam
Proton accounts for idiots like me. Apparently if you've trusted a browser, they store some token or cookie that will let you decrypt everything if you sign in from that browser, even with a reset password.
I'm sorry I ever doubted you @proton.me -> browser was trusted and it was able to recover data even after changing passwords.
Sorry. You're wonderful.
I understand the zero knowledge stuff, and that it's all encrypted with the master password. I just didn't expect to be signed out of everything at once. It makes the signed-in recovery impossible.
Ironically, I did save the new password to proton pass, because why would I be immediately logged out of all instances, and why would the apps using biometrics (windows and android), suddenly decide biometrics aren't enough?
Guess what? Didn't have chance to write new password down (why would I even be expected to write down a password when i've enabled a bunch of passwordless logins), and now it seems if I reset my password, I lose everything? data in drive, passwords in the password manager?
@proton.me -> changed my password and enabled 2 factor authentication and was immediately signed out of every instance of your apps. Despite having 2-factor enabled, and recovery codes, and the proton pass app relying on biometrics, I can apparently now only access with new password?
It's genuinely shocking how bad the multitude of delivery services have gotten in the UK, and even more galling that they all have so little accountability.

This is a useful pre-step for height mapping colours: peterfalkingham.com/2020/04/29/c...
For those working on #tracks / #footprints / #ichnology, I've made a neat little addon for #blender that aligns a mesh to the horizontal at z=0 based on a few points. Open and up on github:

Not only a fascinating talk, but a brilliant example of interdisciplinary collaboration.
Who knew the humble pufferfish could bring so many people together!? 🐡
Stretchy skin, porcelain hard spines that rotate upwards & expanding upto 3x their original size.
But how?
Thank you @arielcamp.bsky.social
excellent news, thanks Mark
Really enjoyed this seminar from @drrostireadioff.bsky.social in our Musculoskeletal Biomechanics MSc @msc-mubm.bsky.social. She's doing such cool work linkingbiology and engineering...left with lots of new ideas!
Thanks @acsharp.bsky.social for hosting, and Rosti for letting me share this :)
Is it particularly thick, or does it just look like that in photos/video because it's short and wide?
Or maybe the paper is just a coincidence...
Office 365 and Linux – trying to use Linux when your organization is all in and locked down with Microsoft
The problem - my employer is all in on Microsoft 365. They have flipped the admin switches that mean email can only be checked via Outlook (or Apple Mail, because executives like Apple, I…
Right, that's it, I'm uninstalling all of Autodesk's tendrils from my computer. Crappy, slow, terrible Maya hasn't been needed in over a year now - all scientific workflows moved to #blender
I've discovered Semantic Scholar as an alternative to google scholar. Seems good. Does bluesky have opinions?
Linux 2: Even nearlier there… Moving to CachyOS, squashing bugs, and living the Linux life.
My last post was about trying out Bazzite. I'd installed it to an external SSD and gave it a good go for a few days as my main OS. It was a bit of a faff, needing to carry around the SSD with the laptop…
The gif probably says it all.
This is your friendly reminder to join us next week to learn how to puff a fish!

Penetrative track morphology and sediment parameters: subsurface layers are robust to changes in substrate properties royalsocietypublishing.org/rsif/article... | #JRSocInterface #Biomechanics #Fossil
Whilst that is a _superb_ pun, I maintain... No Fun!
And in direct opposition to the above:, terrible, terrible title: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Which fossil? How does it re-write it? Which is the baffling clade?
depends what the conclusion is I guess!
When you have a deep, penetrative track, it turns out that sediment properties don't really affect the sub-surface morphology very much (for a given foot motion). This is good news for reconstructing #dinosaur foot motions from penetrative tracks: royalsocietypublishing.org/rsif/article...
Whatever you may think about this paper, it's a bloody masterclass in how to title a paper. I immediately know the subject and the conclusion.
#DownWithDumbPunsAndColonsInTitles
One of the problems with these trendy gaming distros is that the subreddits have become useless for tech support because they're just full of people posting 'Left Windows behind and couldn't be happier!' with a screenshot of their generic desktop.
Also, getting a temporary drop to black screen after logging in. Looks like on this Asus laptop (Proart P16), nvidia goes to gpu 0 and amd igpu to gpu1, which is making power/sleep/wake screwy. Can't find a way to fix.
Gonna move to #CachyOS for a few days and see if that plays out better
