Submission + - J. Craig Venter, genomics pioneer and founder of JCVI and Diploid Genomics, Inc. (jcvi.org)

joshuark writes: The renowned genomics pioneer Dr. J. Craig Venter died on April 29, 2026, at age 79, following a brief hospitalization for unexpected side effects from cancer treatment.

Venter is best known for racing to sequence the human genome, founding the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), and creating the first synthetic bacterial cell.

“Craig believed that science moves forward when people are willing to think differently, move decisively, and build what doesn’t yet exist,” said Anders Dale, president of JCVI. “His leadership and vision reshaped genomics and helped ignite synthetic biology. We will honor his legacy by continuing the mission he built—advancing genomic science, championing the public investments that make discovery possible, and partnering broadly to turn knowledge into impact.”

I use lineageOS on my phone (Motorola Ace One) and none of the Google App. everything is from F-Droid.
I'm very happy with it, the battery last multiple days since I don't have any bloatware on the phone.
I was a Samsung Ultra User, I have the S22 Ultra (512), S23 Ultra (512) and S24 Ultra (1t).
The moto camera aren't has good then the Ultra Camera, but they are enough good.
Nobody follow, me I don't have silly advertizing popup on my phone.

I just hope that the new policy doesn't affect OpenSource Android like LineageOS!

And with the upcomming restriction of the Android Platform that Google annonce for this year, I'm very glad at Motorola / Lenovo to bright this option, I hope that other major manufacturers follows.

I also hope that the first Motorola GrapheneOS will be out in Canada before the Googlerestriction on third appstore software.

Long live to the OSS
Long live to f-Droid
And prospert

Tired of being held captive by BigTech? So are we. Join and help us pull together a complete computing platform.
