I know a cat that loses it’s mind for Nutzo, the one with a bunch of different nuts. I’ve seen it even get the classic dog and peanut butter mouth situation going on too lol

It definitely has the potential for being used in vaccinations, but DNA vaccines have never worked well in humans. When compared to the other delivery mechanisms, it makes very little sense. There’s also risk associated with the process as adding this DNA sequence may result in a recombination event within the host genome. Additionally, there’s possible issues with expressing tolerant T cells due to DNA vaccines. This would make the immume response less effective. The finding is more surprising as it demonstrates horizontal gene transfer taking place across different eukaryotic organisms, or at least that’s my take on it.

I was taught μm stands for micrometers, which are 1,000 times smaller than millimeters. Nanometers(nm) are 1,000 times smaller than micrometers(μm), which means nanometers are CRAZY small!

This paper points out the filtration of SARS-CoV-2 isn’t clear cut whatsoever. Papers stating it could be filtered from the air all demonstrated to have publication bias. The thing about viruses is they are super tiny. On average, a virus is 10x smaller than a bacterial cell. This makes filtration much more difficult to accomplish.

The study found the most effective methods for air purification were germicidal lights, ionisers, and electrostatic cleaners. With HEPA specifically, the filters can snag objects as small as 0.3μm. However, the largest viruses are 500nm or 0.5μm in diameter. Based on the numbers, HEPA filtration is capable of removing the largest viruses from the air, but that’s a small minority of all viruses. SARS-CoV-2 comes in somewhere between 60nm/0.06μm to 140nm/0.14μm in diameter, meaning HEPA filtration can not remove it from the air.

Touché, you’re right for sure. I should have stayed with saying most and not said all. But that’s where my head was at least.

I’d argue for a basic use case most distro’s would work well, right? All come with a browser, a PDF reader, and some word doc/spreadsheet program. I truly hate using windows at school, so I just plug in a USB, restart, and boot from the USB. Otherwise Firefox always needs updating, which results in freezing 1/10 times, and I need to make an adobe account to simply read a PDF.

Nobara could be a great choice for your setup. It’s a version of Fedora, made by a very well respected Fedora team member, setup with gaming in mind. It comes with many of the drivers you’d have to download using most other distros. Being Fedora based means you can tinker with anything you wanted to change. I recommend the KDE spin, KDE is known as the swiss army knife of environments. It’s super intuitive too. I’m actually in a bit of an emulator phase right now, I have had zero issues using KDE Fedora while figuring it all out!

I’m curious how it compares to Standard Notes. Have you tried both by chance?

I truly have never said this before in my life, but you obviously need better game. If asking for a number is off the table, then you’re already friendzoned…

I use a few of these and I have no issues with internet speed. I can stream HD video while uploading large files no problem. So I’d bet you’d be just fine, probably won’t even notice unless it’s faster. But I wasn’t aware of hBlock, I’ll have to look into it.

This is the way, it’s easy and at times even contagious!

Being an accident would be news to me. Since it sources Bing for results, you’d think Microsofts trackers would be a focal point of their privacy approach. Sleeping on trackers known to be present isn’t a good look either way.

There’s proof they allowed Microsoft to use trackers though…I dig DDG as they were one of the first functional alternative search engines to Google with an emphasis on privacy, yet there are much better options today. I’m going to have to peep kagi based on this thread, but I’ll need to be strongly convinced to switch from SearXNG.

Start using an encrypted DNS server! I’m a big fan of NextDNS, quad9 is solid in my book too. Above this, the next step would be to start using a degoogled mobile OS along with FOSS apps. Its a marathon, so making changes slowly but consistently is the best way to approach it 100%.

It’s going to be dependant on the VPN, but some definitely allow for you to choose a DNS server. Depending on your OS, you can just setup all traffic to be routed through a specified DNS server too. This is one aspect of Fedora I really dig.

Right! I saw Anton Petrov already released a video on the topic too, if you dig this then I highly recommend checking his YT channel to watch him break it all down.

I’ve used only OSMAnd+ for years, the biggest trick is to get the latitude and longitude coordinates via https://www.latlong.net for your destination. As far as timing, I’ve never experienced longer routes. There are settings to indicate which route types you prefer, but you can also see the different routes to get to the same place and choose accordingly.

KDE Gear intergrates in KDE software by adding applications, frameworks, and libraries to be used by KDE applications.

I use JabRef which is another open sourced bibliography tool. I use it regularly and truly have no clue what I’d do without it at this point!
