I2P could be a solid option over TOR then, no?

We've known since at least March that about 10 human cases of this new bird flu would allow the virus to mutate and adapt to humans. This is the 14th reported case in the states this year, and the first which could have been transmitted from human to human. We understood what was happening, yet have really done nothing to try to prevent it's spread.

The mutation rate baked into Influenza's reproduction cycle is much more elaborate than coronaviruses, and this isn't exactly a bad thing. When a human catches bird flu from a bird, the mortality rates are pretty burly as this version of the virus attaches to the α2:3 receptor. While this receptor is found throughout the avian digestive and respiratory track, it's only found in the lower lungs of humans. A lower lung infection will always be gnarlier than an upper respiratory infection. Human influenza viruses have a preference for the α2:6 receptor, which is found throughout our airway. This is the primary adaptation which occurs when influenza mutates to infect humans. But a virus is a parasite, so in their ideal world, they wouldn't kill their host. Viruses often do the most damage when adapting to or having recently adapted to a new host. Hopefully, the mutation rate of influenza will result in a shorter pandemic compared to COVID if it ends up taking place.

Immune cells form from stem cells. From start to finish in the stem cell differentiation process, four major changes occur. Some of these changes can have up to four potential outcomes each. Here's a map:

While all cells react to their environment based on environmental stimuli and feedback loops, even bacteria and archaea, this is a great example of cell differentiation. All our cells started as stem cells, but the immune system's continuous and consistent use of the process is very unique. It's also the most elaborate and the image is surface level. Most the end cells pictured here will become more specific. Like there's many different T-cells, even T-cells which change so much they don't meet the classification of being a T-cell. The CD16 T-cell is a great example of this happening.

I feel like this is what you were looking for, but I'm not totally sure.

Really? It says I need to upgrade my plan to Pro in order to use the discrete merchants feature.

Basically couldn't have come any later really. They're already coming out the gates scrabbling with just 3 months and change until voting starts.

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.

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?

Just to be clear, Gemma is only partially open sourced in select area's of the code.

It's IV ketamine use which has shown to rewire the connections between nodes in the brain. These old connections have triggers for depression baked in more or less. So in rewiring the nodes, the baked in depression can be circumvented. The nasal spray then reenforces these new pathways which were created via IV treatment to help ensure the old ones aren't used again by the brain. It's a delicate process and abusing the drug definitely only makes assessing the process much more difficult.

Their "privacy" claim is only in reference to Google and Microsoft, which is a ridiculously low bar to hold up to....

Great list, this post is getting saved without question! I don't see Kolourpaint though, which is a great FOSS digital art program. I'd say it should be added to the list as it's my go to for light weight photo editing. Also, Obsidian isn't FOSS, which may not be what your looking for specifically as it has a free option. I prefer Standard Notes as it's FOSS and great for managing notes privately across devices.
