Not exactly, Homo erectus and Neanderthal’s both ate meat. The consumption of meat by Homo erectus was associated with a reduction in the size of the gut area due to consistently incorporating animal foods into their diet. Neanderthals were known to be skilled hunters as well. The biggest difference between us and our more recent ancestors is the truncation of a GTPase gene in our DNA, which led to the ability to have neurons grow on top of one another. Previously, neuron growth would be stopped when a neuron came into contact with another. So that’s without question the biggest genetic feature that sets us apart.

Well, since SearXNG aggregates results from more than 70 search engines and not solely Google, it’s a safe bet they’ll be fine regardless of Googles moves. However, sourcing results from Google may be impacted, but they still have many other options built in aside from Google. Whoogle being a proxy only for Google makes it reliant on Google, so their upstream changes will be very noticeable. This being the case, I’d say switching to SearXNG is going to be the best move as it has redundancy built in making it not dependent on any one engine.

When I did 4+ months of research into avian influenza a year ago, most the literature I sourced used variants as the term, but I don’t see why strain wouldn’t work as well. Also, you’re comment about if H5N1 or H3N2 doesn’t cover the fact that the H5N1 variant would likely uptake aspects of H3N2 genome (or whatever was the prior most common variant) into it’s genetic makeup.

Virology is an insanely intricate field as no two viral families have much in common at all. Viruses are fascinating as while they are truly as simplistic as it gets, they still have highly specific task they each evolve to ensure their future reproduction.

Fun fact about viral infections, both the human placenta and myelin sheath are results of an ancient ancestor of ours having a retroviral infection!

For sure, that’s what I said off the rip. But the flu variant which takes over isn’t the initial variant, as the high mortality rate coincides with low transmissibility. It’s the result of various point mutations and genetic reassortments to the first version which humans were susceptible to. But ya, potato potatoe, I’m just a nerd when it comes micro.

While this isn’t incorrect, it’s also not the full story. Influenza is an intricate virus, with mutations and obfuscation built into it’s reproduction cycle. A virus that kills it’s host is not a good virus, as a virus relies on it’s host to reproduce. This is why the flu is the most deadly when it initially gains a new host species. But over time, it will mutate to become less deadly for the host, allowing it to spread more effectively. Additionally, whenever an organism is infected with two different flu viruses, they can conduct reassortment and generate novel flu variations. So overtime, the flu will become less lethal via mutations, making it different from the orginal. Most flu variations stem from bird flu’s due to the migratory patterns of birds. But they then mutate substantially, otherwise they’ll be unable to infect more host. Meaning, it’s not the same flu, but more so the jumping off point of new variations which can combine with others or mutate by themselves just depending on the specific environment.

It was updated twice in 2024, granted last update was in April. But once software is dialed, it shouldn’t need consistent updates. The website doesn’t reference anything about the project being abandoned either: https://www.openandroidbackup.me/

Guess if nothing else, it’s worked very well and hopefully will get updated in 2025. If not, ideally Graphene will have their own backup option here soon.

I’ve used Open Android Backup Companion from F-Droid for my GrapheneOS device for a while now. It’s pretty simple and straight forward, I definitely recommend giving it a go. You can select what files to backup or just back it all up.

With the deterioration of our ecosystem, it makes sense lifespans will decrease. But this one seems fishy. At the turn of the century, which preceded the discovery of antibiotics, the average life span was 32. Back then, childbirth was actually dangerous and the amount of kids dying under 3 years old was wild. These were the primary reasons for the 32 year average lifespan. Which means 26 in todays world is almost certainly a sign of fowl play…

Anyone of the many SearXNG instances is your best choice for balancing privacy and quality results. It’s open source, sources multiple search engines which you can control, is anonymous, and provides solid results. Here’s a list of active SearXNG instances: https://searx.space/

I’m pretty sure just using the “sudo dnf update --refresh” command in terminal will fix this problem. It will ask you verify those packages new repositories. After that, you should be good using the store again for updates. This is assuming you upgraded from Fedora 40 before these errors occurred.

I trust the DivestOS team while I have no clue who runs Cromite. Plus, Bromite being abandoned made me look into other options, which makes me trust Divest to keep Mulch running longer than the Cromite team I guess.

Mulch is a mobile chromium browser made by DivestOS (same folks who make Mull). Maybe worth checking out over Cromite.

Well, the focus of the Israeli attacks were initially in the greater Gaza Strip area, which is in Southern Gaza. So this wouldn’t make much sense to have been posted 6 months back. But being posted now demonstrates the expansion of the Israeli attacks. Nonetheless, I get where you were coming from with it.

You understand there’s over 13,000 cryptocurrencies, right? Your broad statement here is no different from stereotyping someone based on physical appearance. How many whitepapers, aka detailed business plans for coins, have you read? There are always scammers online, in every industry, across the board. But while there are many bullshit coins, there’s still unquestionably very solid options.

For example, BTC has no website, no office, no owner, and is fully decentralized. Other examples of decentralized coins include ETH, XMR, ZEC, LINK, DAI, GRT, AAVE, INJ, and MKR to name a few. It’s a great practice to research and analyze data before making a statement on topics you’re unfamiliar with, but to each their own.

Couldn’t agree more, I don’t even see the benefit here for Binance at all, this will be horrible for their PR. Especially since most crypto investors view cryptocurrency as a way to circumnavigate government financial control and the associated inflation. Regardless if you love or hate crypto, FUCK Binance through and through!

Ya, they should have worded the title more accurately. It’s a reference to your biological age, which is the age of your cells/tissues/organs. You have a variation of biological ages across your different cells/tissues/organs. This makes it pretty wild the education of your grandparents would have any impact on it!

I mean, it’s a part of his plea deal, so I felt of was relevant. Additionally, all the Wikileaks published data was old. However, it’s government secretes, so we’d either have to wait a few decades for the Fed to release it, like with MK Ultra information, or have it published much sooner by Wikileaks. Regardless, hopefully if there is any unpublished information it was handed over by Julian to associates outside of Wikileaks so they could release it before the Fed is forced to do it.

The facts are it’s an oligopoly which is rapidly moving towards pairing this with totalitarianism. Propaganda is so pronounced today that finding actual news is a chore, and if shared it’s labeled as “fake news”. A study was recently published demonstrating political moves are made without any care for how it impacts the masses. It’s tough to see the decline happen in real time while most deny it’s occurrence. Most are too focused on owning others in the working class with alternative ideals.

But in the U.S., the natural beauty is phenomenal. Yet it’s being traded to allow conglomerates to squeeze more profit out of dwindling resources. If something doesn’t change the course soon, this answer potentially could land me in prison in the near future. Which is counter to what the country was supposedly established to prevent. It’s rough in many aspects, yet not entirely hopeless, at least as of this moment.
