Maybe add ecosia.org to the list, definitely a privacy focused search engine.

I can't get enough of Daily Breads album Invisible Cinema. He's from ATL and while of the best electronic around, his sample game is unreal. Ton's of amazing hiphop audio samples from cover to cover.

Really? That's surprising, what are they asking for per month?

Proprietary broadcasting software companies hate this one trick!

TLDW: Open source or nothing, but if your project is the first to truly blow up, you need to make git.

It's kind of a long shot, but a privacy based online doc option I recently learned about, which surprised me now 5+ years in, is etherpad. I really like the https://board.net hosted option, as the company behind it enables all the actually needed extension and isn't afraid to be privacy focused first. But you can host it yourself too. It's pretty much a “google doc” page, so it would need a table added to be filled in by the end user. Still only accessible by the folks you give the HTML link to though. Plus, you can always cut and paste the data into a new doc and give that new link to the folks who need it 🤷

I know it may sound super basic, because it is, but I've learned basic is always a solid 1st fix attempt with Linux…I'd just reinstall the whole thing top to bottom. Recently had an update on my OS which kept failing (days), so eventually I reinstalled the associated packages from top to bottom then boom, update and restart to install. I see it kinda as a “did you power off and power back on the machine” IT tip though lol

Edit: In most distro's, instead of “sudo install xxx” it's “sudo reinstall xxx”

You don't lose any of data in my experience, plus it can fix an array of problems!

As a grad student, if it's not a research paper I tend to ask for the paper they sourced for the info. But look over the very brief synopsis I gave below to see why it's logical to conclude the organ/human body-on-a-chip could surpass CRISPR. I even put together a presentation on the paper published on the research. Straight up, mind blowing cover to cover. While CRISPR envokes ethical dilemmas, the chip tech solves many while also providing breakthrough research and treatment options!

Technically, you pretty much already are! The human body regularly removes reactive oxygen species from the system. If these were left unchecked, our life span would be MUCH shorter. Also, the cell cycle has numerous players responsible for preventing cancer. In addition, the immune system is a legitimate marvel, especially when it comes to preventing infections & disease. Human sweat, tears, mucus, saliva, and even a Mom's breast milk all posses antimicrobial aspects. And that's only the innate or 1st line of the immune system defense. Recently it was even discovered when in the womb, a mother conducts horizontal gene transfer to ensure the offsprings microbiome will take up most the microbial real estate effectively. This prevents pathogens from being able to adhere and grow when introduced into the body 🤯

First, a small silicon chip is printed with specific patterns. Then, stem cells are introduced and grown in unique environments depending on the desired organ tissue. Down the road, they hope to be able to print organs for patients using their DNA. This will eliminate long wait times for some organs, as well as prevent any chance of organ rejection after transplantion. Right now, this allows labs to stop animal test while simultaneously acquiring exponentially more accurate human data. Also, this will drastically slash the time and cost required to bring a drug to market!!

Ya, it's a hardened mobile Firefox. I've never used Firefox on mobile, just Mull, so I'm not too sure on the specific differences.

I agree, the organ-on-a-chip tech from the end of 2022 has the ability to be even more game changing, which is wild to say! Both projects I'm following quite closely to see how they advance.
