Stand by ;)

Meanwhile there are a not insignificant number of people doing everything they can to erase the population which actually invented the technology, and therefore does understand it. It’s probably not a coincidence that those people are speaking up the loudest about misusing the tech.

That’s quite interesting, and I wonder how similar it is to another technique I know of. My grandmother had heart surgery where they went in through a small incision near the waist. It’s a really incredible technique, and while they were cautiously optimistic that she would live for another couple years, she actually ended up living quite a bit longer with greatly improved health!

I run it on PC through a mobile hotspot. For whatever reason lemmy seems to be the only site that regularly chugs like that for me. And yes, the fact I appear to be fucked is the point of this post, to inform anyone who cares of a rare use case which makes the site very difficult to use recently.

I had actually just started working in nanotech when the pandemic hit, so I had just studied the subject of mRNA therapy in quite a bit of detail. I was so disgusted by what I saw during Covid that I left the industry entirely. Student dept be damned, I won’t be party to such outrageous dishonesty.

Yeah, well, not everyone lives in an ideal situation. Fuck me, right?

Blocking specific words tends to have unintended consequences, blocking lots of things that haven’t even been considered.

I wish my Internet was fast enough to block that many communities.

Well, if you block one instance itself in entirety, you can still access some of the communities on other instances, so there is a fairly useful purpose there for some people.
