  • Looks like it has either an i5 or i7, depending on the specific A1502 version, so there's a lot more available distro's

  • Where can I find my apps if they're not available on f-droid ?

    Jump

  • The amount of repos available to add to F-Droid makes the app selection pretty deep in my experience. Here's a few:

    Izzy Droid - https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo

    Guardian Project - https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/repo

    Ironfox - https://fdroid.ironfoxoss.org/fdroid/repo

    Futo - https://app.futo.org/fdroid/repo

    Fedilab - https://fdroid.fedilab.app/repo

    Molly - https://molly.im/fdroid/repo

    Briar - https://briarproject.org/fdroid/repo

    Anonymous - https://anonymous.gratis/fdroid/repo

    There's a bunch more repos you can find online, but I've always enjoyed having these enabled. Additionally, there's the Aurora Store from F-Droid, which allows anonymous access to the Play Store. There's also Obtainium, which will directly access developer's GitHub/GitLab/Codeberg/SourceHut repos as well.

  • How Donald Trump Created the Worst Diarrhea Outbreak This Century

    Jump

  • Since you posted your comment, there's been a large produce company tied to the Taco Bell cases (Taylor Farms). As someone in the field of microbiology, this isn't just bacteria that can be controlled with disinfectants and sanitizers. This is a protist with a structured life cycle that spends the majority of its life as an oocyst. This SUCKS as it's resistant to heat and pretty sticky in this stage. So the only options for eradication will involve stopping all manufacturing for weeks and creating an insanely dry environment so the pathogen eventually dies from desiccation. Nonetheless, the more concerning issue is the source of the pathogen, as at this scale, it must have involved a contaminated water supply that was used to grow the crops. So while Taylor Farms will have to destroy a ton of product and shut down production for weeks, there's a chance as soon as they're back at it they unknowingly source more contaminated water, unless we clearly identify and address the issue.

    PS: Humans are the only known vector and host for this specific protist species!

  • What new Linux distribution should I try?

    Jump

  • I'd recommend KDE over GNOME, especially if you're coming over from Windows. My take on Linus's move is he's tinkered with Linux 5+ days a week for ages, so GNOME makes more sense. But as a nerd who doesn't work in tech, I love KDE as I can tinker until I'm content and changes are just made in settings. Either way, I'd say finding the Desktop Enviornment you like is more important than the distro!

  • What new Linux distribution should I try?

    Jump

  • I prefer Fedora over Bazzite as it gives you more control, but this also means it's easier to break. Bazzite is an immutable distro, whereas Fedora uses the traditional mutable root filesystem. But despite the difference, Bazzite uses Fedora Atomic as it's base OS.

    Just as a fun little factoid, Linus Torvalds runs Fedora and while he was using KDE for a while, he switched to GNOME as he felt it required much less fiddling around with than KDE.

  • Many old shim versions are still accepted by secure boot

    Jump

  • Short article, here it is to save a click:

    The CMU CERT Coordination Center has put out an advisory that many exploitable versions of the shim binary, used to boot Linux on systems with UEFI secure boot enabled, were never added to the revocation list.

    An attacker with administrative privileges or the ability to modify the boot process could use one of the vulnerable shim bootloaders to bypass Secure Boot protections and execute arbitrary code before the operating system loads. Code executed during this early boot phase may achieve persistent compromise of the platform, including the ability to load unsigned or malicious kernel components that can survive system reboots and, in some cases, operating system reinstallation.

    The advisory contains a list of vulnerable shims.

  • New Orleans man becomes first in Louisiana functionally cured of sickle cell disease

    Jump

  • Thanks for the reply, it made me dig a bit deeper into this treatment (Casgevy) methodology and I learned some radical things about it! But the term gene editing in molecular/microbiology always refers to DNA, so these changes will be present in all future cells. Knowing the treatment used gene editing, I incorrectly assumed they just cut out the genetic sequence causing sickle cell. However, they edited the patients stem cells and reinfused them to create a permanent population of red blood cells with both the original sickle cell and fetal red blood cell traits! This works since fetal red blood cells don’t sickle due to their cell structure, meaning the sickle cell mutation remains in the patient's DNA, so the edited cells still produce the trait to help with malaria.

  • New Orleans man becomes first in Louisiana functionally cured of sickle cell disease

    Jump

  • As cool as this truly is, what's also wild is now this person doesn't have the drastically higher chances of surviving Malaria! Sickle Cell requires both parents passing on a recessive gene that helps with Malaria. When one parent passes on the gene it doesn't lead to sickle cell yet it provides the benefits against malaria 🤯

  • Pampering a King Cobra...

    Jump

  • Here's one of the best Biology based YT channel's 2026 breakdown of and interactions with a King Cobra. I was speechless a few times as he never even bat's an eye when dealing with all sorts of VERY deadly life forms. The channel is MyWildBackyard and their stuff makes me stoked on life: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=0z4qQ4Envjk

    Bottom line, if that Cobra wanted to kill, it'd be as easy for it as it is for us to breath seemingly.
