  • Which FOSS projects do you financially support and why?

    Jump

  • I've always donated to Signal, Bitwarden, and KDE. Lemmy got added to the list this year, plus I always try to support a quality project that's between a rock and a hard place. I gave to the Oregon State University open source lab this year when I heard about their struggles. They're why Mozilla is a thing along with many other foundational components of the open internet.

  • Surface Protein Discovery Reveals How Leukemia Cells Trick the Immune System

    Jump

  • Not sure what's up with Nature's website on your end, but here's the link that's working for me to access the paper, which was published today (10-3-25): https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s43018-025-01054-6

    Nonetheless, a paper from 6 years ago studying a receptor found on almost half of immune cells should have more current information available by now, if not already. In science, we build on the shoulders of giants and try to expand on the knowledge they helped us understand. Additionally, the older study examines SLAMF6's function across health and disease, so it's much more generalized. The new study aims to provide additional context for the earlier findings and focuses on acute myeloid leukemia in particular. I have a PhD in immunology, and it's astonishing how little we actually understand about the subject. All in all, we understand the ocean better than the immune system, even though there's more we don't know about the ocean than we do. Even crazier is that most of our current understanding in immunology is actually for a rat's immune system and not humans! But you're not wrong to be cautious, all research papers should be read with a healthy amount of scrutiny. A wise man told me in undergrad that half of what we'd cover in the course would be incorrect, we just don't know which half.

  • Highest bridge unveiled at more than 2,000ft above ground

    Jump

  • I had no idea what the heck a water curtain test was and just I looked into it. Engineers use this test to verify that the structure’s drainage, wind‑load, and splash‑resistance systems work correctly. At the same time it creates a striking visual display of a rainbow‑like mist, which also highlights the bridge for the public and media.

  • Trump Says He’ll Send Troops to Portland and Sanction “Full Force” Against Americans

    Jump

  • As long as the revolt leads to a revolution, which seems to be the natural order of things, any human even vaguely similar to him would never hold that seat again. Igniting the fire which leads to his own removal from office doesn't seem like a power move. Unless he's playing 4D chess I can't comprehend, he's simply acting as a dictator before that's official. This should unquestionably result in his removal from office, unless the majority of citizens are brainwashed...which I haven't seen up to this point.

  • Trump Says He’ll Send Troops to Portland and Sanction “Full Force” Against Americans

    Jump

  • There's ~35,000 US troops actively deployed on US soil because of this narcissist. At what point do the people collectively revolt? I live in a relatively large city in the western US, and regularly disheartened by the small turnouts to protest these blatant violations of our rights...

  • Is Soundcloud a good service that I should pay for if I have the money ?

    Jump

  • SoundCloud is pretty cool, especially when compared to Spotify. I've been really liking the https://sc.maid.zone/ SoundCloud frontend recently, makes it more private and you can download the songs on the same page you can listen to them. But all in all, it really just comes down to your opinion regarding if you should talk positively about it.

  • Common Food Thickeners – Long Thought to Pass Right Through Us – are Actually Digested

    Jump

  • Yep, cellulose is a beta pleated sheet, unlike carbs/sugars, which are alpha helices. We're always ready to breakdown the alpha helices form of sugar, but due to the molecular structure of cellulose, we need help. This is were these enzymes come in from our microbiome. All this also ties into how in Western countries, most folks tend to be unable to breakdown cellulose due to the lack of the specific bacteria in our biome capable of producing this enzyme. However, in African and Asian countries, these bacteria are common place, so these cultures have been able to digest cellulose for ages!

  • Is Nebula actually a privacy respecting YouTube alternative along with peer tube ?

    Jump

  • While Nebula is a creator‑owned ad‑free video service, it's truly just a conventional centrally‑hosted platform collecting user data like most sites. So while ad‑free, it has no focus on privacy as its privacy policy shows standard analytics and tracking typical of most subscription services. This being the case, it's not a privacy respecting alternative to YouTube like Peer Tube much at all unfortunately.

  • TLDR: Their study suggests that moderate adjustments in dietary protein sources could provide a new pathway for achieving sustainable development goals. Guiding dietary transitions in a scientifically informed and regionally adaptive manner can meet nutritional needs while significantly reducing agricultural pressures on groundwater systems. This offers valuable support for agricultural green transformation, high-quality water environment development, and the coordinated realization of multiple sustainability targets—including clean water, climate action, and biodiversity conservation.

  • Cleaning list app that just works and doesn’t require a fucking account or paid subscription?

  • Do cookies communicate IP address in any way?

    Jump

  • Cookies do not directly communicate your IP address, they're just bits of data about your visit. Logging out of LinkedIn and closing your browser should clear them, unless they're persistent cookies.

    Using a VPN to create a new Spotify account maskes your actual IP address. Meaning spotify wont know your home IP address. But, if Spotify uses cookies from your previous sessions or if you log in with the same credentials, it may still serve targeted ads based on your previous activity.

    So while cookies don't transmit your IP address, they still influence the ads you see based on your browsing history and/or account information. For enhanced privacy, it's usually recommended to set cookies to be wiped when you close the browser. I have a handful of sites I like to keep cookies for, but everything else is gone after each session.

  • Unleashing the 89% of People Who Want Climate Action Could Lead to ‘Social Tipping Point’ and More Government Action, Experts Say

    Jump

  • Limiting the impact corporations have on the environment via legislation is one highly effective way. But I'm just a person from the 89% of the population with this stance. So asking me isn't all that useful. Asking at the demonstrations in a manner which takes account of each response is a much more logical way to help figure this out. Additionally, there's definitely organizations who've done a lot of work here and have plans drawn up on these matters.
