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.

  • I said "more affordable" as I was comparing the 8a, 8, and 8 Pro. Whenever a new model comes out, last years always has a price cut. I didn't think referencing the 7a was required, as it's implied it's less expensive than 8a. But the 7a only will be supported for 5 years, while 8a will be for 7 years. This alone could make it the better choice. However, I know finances are different for everyone. Regardless, when I said it's more affordable, this was a reference to it being noticeably less expense than the 8 and 8 Pro.

  • The Pixel 8a is more affordable vs the 8 and 8 Pro. The 8a comes in at $499, while the 8 cost $699 and the Pro runs $999. The 8a still has an amazing camera, the battery will give you no problems, and it's not a MASSIVE device like most phones these days. It's probably the best way to get on Graphene OS at a reasonable price point.

  • JMP is the bees knees, couldn't be happier with the service. The app takes a little bit of getting used to, but once dialed in it can function right along side your phones main number. Zero issues with it working on websites too, highly recommended!

  • Android user? Graphene looks like it's worth the setup process more and more. Pixels are the only Google product worth while thanks to Graphene really.

  • Just like the link in the iOS section, there's a link in the Android section. Both were in the first sentence, I believe. But I had to give the article another once over to find it.

  • I mean, the doc's are available through the link. But here's some screen grabs:

    AFU: After First Unlock

    BFU: Before First Unlock

    BF: Brute Force

    FBE: File Based Encryption

    FDE: Full Device Encryption

    FFS: Full File System

  • Ok, good to know. But aside from knowing you're a researcher, what other info could someone get after seeing you credited as an author? I'd think as long as you practice solid online privacy, the only thing someone could learn is your specific field of study. Do you use a tool like Optery to remove your name from data brokers? Is Lemmy your only social media account? If you said no to either of these, maybe start there to help reduce your online footprint.

  • If there's really just your name associated with research publications online, your in an exponentially better situation than most. Getting published is a process too, it's not just submit and it's online. This being the case, I'd say it isn't a very big deal for privacy. However, I'd wonder if you could use a pseudonym in a publication. Probably not, but it'd be worth checking out.

  • They were arrested for a violent protest that resulted in setting fire to a construction site which was building temporary housing for asylum seekers. Seems pretty straight forward they were protesting the state helping those seeking asylum, no?

  • Why would you say that a few years ago? It was only a handful of months back they had the massive machine which will produce the body of the cars functional. I've been on the wait list since 2022 and they only had just started testing the suspension design back then. Seems odd, but maybe I was late to the game.

  • It's the most aerodynamic vehicle ever made for mainstream production, so that's why it looks a bit odd. But it's amazing they'll send you the 3D printing data so you can print replacement parts!

  • Aptera is fully right to repair, so I'd say them even though their car won't be available for a few more months.

  • Kali Uchis is signed to Virgin Music too lol

  • Lethal Language Model

  • Well, only very specific viruses enter 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 incorporate 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. I've always felt bacteria are way more complex and that it makes sense CRISPR comes from them. Bacterial viruses, aka bacterial 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 curious why you thought CRISPR would be associated with viruses over bacteria or even mold/yeast?

  • 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.
