"Disease usually results from inconclusive negotiations for symbiosis, an overstepping of the line by one side or the other, a biological misinterpretation of the borders." — Lewis Thomas

  • Kali Uchis is signed to Virgin Music too lol

  • U of T researchers develop RNA-targeting technology for precisely manipulating parts of human genes
  • Well, only very specific viruses entry the nucleus, most often due to not bringing along enzymes needed for replication. Then, there's transducing viruses and non-transducing viruses, of which only one will retain it's genome in the host genome. Both occur near oncogenic gene locations too, which is why viral infections can lead to cancer, but this isn't very common at all. IDK, guess I've always felt bacteria are way more complex and that it makes sense CRISPR comes from them. Bacterial viruses, aka bacteria phages, were the evolutionary pressure which lead to CRISPR's development. But I'm a nerd and stay up to date with it all, so maybe that shifted my outlook.

  • Sorry for the delayed reply, but I studied in this field as welll, so curious why you thought CRISPR would be associated with viruses over bacteria or even mold/yeast?

  • Every time i try and update or install a flatpak with discover i get this error.
  • In Fedora, I ran into the same issue, but I fixed it by running flatpak update -y in terminal. Hopefully that works on your end as well.

  • Questions about installing linux on dual boot on a single drive ?
  • Just out of curiosity, why not just go full Linux and use a Windows VM? Using a debloater (this is my favorite: https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat) makes the windows VM run very well. Plus you limit the extent Microsoft is able analyze and track you. Additionally, this also works around the VPN connection issue currently on going with Windows.

  • [email protected]: Why use catch-all email domains over email aliases?
  • It's great for emails on account's where they know you, like banks and doctors offices. It also lets you make em up on the fly instead of using the site or app. I've never had spam issues, but it does make the email less anonymous. So it's a situational thing, but nice to just use [email protected] when at the dentist or whatever.

    We Can Have Cop City, Or We Can Have Democracy

    Atlanta’s Democratic leadership is trying to build a massive police urban-warfare training facility before the public can stop it. The outcome will set a precedent for the political future, with implications well beyond the city itself.

    Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman
  • Ok, interesting, thanks for the correction. Do you think rephrasing my statement and stating Linus's kernel is more adaptive would be more accurate?

  • U of T researchers develop RNA-targeting technology for precisely manipulating parts of human genes
  • It was revolutionary when it was first isolated from bacteria. Always fascinating to me that it's pretty much the bacterial adaptive immune system. Now it's awesome seeing other scientists dial in the precision of an already game changing advancement.

    The Coming Great Conflict; an essay explores if the US is nearing a civil war.
  • Trump getting a second term seems to drastically increase the likelihood of a civil war, whereas Biden remaining in office drastically favors WWIII. Screwed either way, and I'm not sure which one is the lesser evil...

  • Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman
  • Stallman's attempt to rename Linux to incorporate the GNU name not happening was frustrating on his end it seems. Everytime someone calls their system a Linux based OS and not GNU/Linux based OS downplays the work he put in. However, Linus's kernel was more elaborate than GNU Hurd, so it was incorporated. It's said Stallman is a visionary, while Linus is a programist. While there's never been any display of tension in a back and forth between them online, it's always seemed to me they appreciate and also despise various aspects of each another.

    June 2024 non-security preview release for Windows 11 - June 25, 2024—KB5039302 (OS Builds 22621.3810 and 22631.3810) Preview
  • As I recently learned from Mental Outlaw, https://github.com/raphire/win11debloat is a life saver. Not only can it disble all the telemetry, ad's, and bloat found in Windows 11, it also made my device run WAY faster. You can pick and choose what to keep and what to delete and it works for both Windows 10 & 11, I highly recommend it! Seeing the OneDrive update made me twitch, so I felt I had to reference this tool in this thread.

    Here is Mental Outlaw's walk through downloading and running the program in Windows 11: https://invidious.drgns.space/watch?v=mwUBeqHqSas

  • "We're committed to release firmware updates to our devices at least until 2026" - says a company that launched a device with a 3 years old version of android.
  • There's a software package you can install to root most Boox tablets. Definitely look into it as this will give you way more control over your device.

  • 7th Circuit Appeals Court says it's OK for feds to demand your password and search your phone, so long as you're within 100 miles of the border or an airport (which is most of America)
  • GrapheneOS has a duress pin feature, which will wipe the device when entered. This being the case, I'd bet there's also a method to setting this up on a normal android device too.

  • Guess he gets twitter/X idk
  • Of course, no problem. When I was coming up I was always told you need to have a reason to put your feet on the floor in the morning. Sounds like you've tried other options to no avail, despite wanting to fix the problem. You should give it a go!

    There's functional drug addicts out there, but when they get sober, they talk about how life's much easier compared to grinding through each day. While this isn't your story, it still shows how functional only means you're able to get by.

  • 7th Circuit Appeals Court says it's OK for feds to demand your password and search your phone, so long as you're within 100 miles of the border or an airport (which is most of America)
