There's a relatively new category on noailist.org, "Without AI Communities" - Looking for communities that do not allow AI in their postings. (Note: this is a bit different from an Anti-AI community such as this one) https://noailist.org/without-ai-communities/

• The list of projects has reached 200! …with some categories such as Games, Operating Systems, and Social Networking with several additions.
• The website also reached over 5000 visitors!
• Two new categories for Education and Bands or Musicians were added.
• Projects can now use the Badge on the Badge page: https://noailist.org/badge/
• The Why No AI page has been updated significantly with recent updates.
• The How to Help page was added with instructions on how you can help the project.

Do you have a Public No-AI statement? Be sure to Add Your Project

Want to help? Share this news update elsewhere.

Did you add your project to the list, or do you publicly state you don't use AI? Place the free made without AI badge on your website and link back to noailist.org. noailist.org lists projects that have decided not to use AI.

I used to curate science breakthroughs using a variety of rss feeds. This was different than just posting new science news, I looked for the real breakthroughs. However I don't have the time or energy or tools to manage a community like this today, but I would subscribe and contribute occasionally to one...maybe someone else out there wants to start one?

"PeARS is a free search engine that you can run locally from your browser, or from your own server. It allows you to ‘index’ pages (i.e. to produce a computer-readable representation of the pages’ content, essential to the search process), and to search pages that you or your friends have indexed. In a local setting, search happens entirely on your machine, meaning that no one knows what you are searching and when. In a decentralised setting, you and your friends can get together to maintain an search engine that you have entire control over. We are slowly building a PeARS network made of carefully curated instances. Rediscover the Web as it was meant to be!"

Here is something I find myself wishing for in Piefed:
A "suggest a community" option - because not everyone has the time or energy to start and manage their own, maybe if it gets a certain vote and someone volunteers as moderator it gets created.

Add your project today. Without Mastodon and Piefed, this non-profit website would not be possible, other communities aren't being active. If you're looking to support projects that don't use AI- (games, software, etc) this is a useful list. Please add your project by replying or using the form, link to and share this website if you want to do something about AI.

Trace evidence occurs when objects make contact, and material is transferred. This type of evidence may not even be visible to the naked eye and requires specific tools and techniques to be located and obtained. Microscopic hair and dead skin cells can be collected, as well as droplets of blood, saliva, or semen for DNA evidence. Fingerprints can be identified but may also leave secretions, skin oils and dead cells which show chemicals and metabolites present in the body at the time. Forensic identification is the application of forensic science and technology to identify specific objects from the trace evidence they leave.

The body’s ability to maintain homeostasis is a critical function. In biology, homeostasis is the state of steady internal physical and chemical conditions maintained by living organisms. The body has many aspects that it maintains using homeostatic control mechanisms including: optimal temperature, fluid balance, cerebrospinal fluid, pH of extracellular fluid, concentrations of oxygen, carbon dioxide, sodium, potassium, calcium ions, copper, iron levels, blood sugar levels, plasma pH, blood oxygen content as well as blood pressure. These levels are kept within certain pre-set limits (homeostatic range) even during changes in the environment, diet, or level of activity.

The Great Oxygenation Event (GOE) was a time interval during the Earth’s Paleoproterozoic era (2,500 to 1,600 million years ago) when the Earth experienced a rise in the concentration of free oxygen from practically none. The GOE is inferred to have been caused by cyanobacteria, which evolved chlorophyll-based photosynthesis that releases dioxygen as a waste byproduct of water photolysis. Scientists believe the GOE may have caused an extinction of many early Earth organisms, including the retinal using (Purple Earth hypothesis) organisms that lived during that time. The adaptation of surviving archaea (leading to mitochondria) may have led to the rise of eukaryotic organisms and eventually multicellular life-forms. So Earth may have been purple before, and we’re only here thanks to cyanobacteria!
