I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you rather glow in the dark, or slowly get bigger when in water, and then shrink back to normal when dry?English
5·2 days agoDoes the amount of water affect the rate of growth, or is it a timing thing?
Am I absorbing water like a sponge, where I’d grow much faster in a pool vs. the rain
Or is it a reaction to any prolonged contact with water
If you add three back ticks (```) to the beginning and end of the list, it will format as a code block instead of a bunch of links

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada joins EU defense fund as the country pivots away from the USEnglish
28·10 days agoCool!
Talks on the U.K. joining the SAFE fund ended without agreement last week. Negotiations foundered over money, with Europe demanding more for Britain’s participation than the U.K. was willing to pay.
Well that’s interesting

Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit to cap powermods to 5 large communitiesEnglish
7·11 days agoI guess everyone just browses all anyway, for now. So they don’t want things removed that have comments regardless of where it’s posted.
Yea I’ve seen this as well. I think part of the problem is a lack of an automod, since rule breaking content sticks around for hours accumulating comments before a mod sees it. Users are good about reporting spam, since it’s very obvious, but not everyone is familiar enough with community rules to report based on those.

Android@lemdro.id•SmartTube’s official APK was compromised with malware — What you should do if you use itEnglish
14·12 days agoFrom the comments of the article
Deleting it and re-installing from the new uncompromised release is not a big deal, but having to go and factory reset all one’s streaming devices and re-configure them from scratch is rather time consuming (I have several).
In yuliskov’s github announcement, he doesn’t come across as this being particularly urgent, and is NOT making statements like “reset all your devices, change all your streaming account passwords”. He just said going forward there won’t be updates and it will have to be re-installed from the new tree.
It seems at this point for most people, if google and amazon haven’t uninstalled it and you are not running 30.43 or 30.47, then keep using it, and when the new version is released, remove the old one and install the new one.
Factory resetting is likely overkill. Android apps are, theoretically, sandboxed, so they shouldn’t be able to affect the system or other apps. Uninstalling the infected app should be enough to clean up, but a factory reset is a guaranteed way, which is why I mention it.
It seems to be one person that’s doing it manually across a number of communities?

Technology@lemmy.world•Flights disrupted after Airbus discovers intense sun radiation could impact flight control dataEnglish
7·14 days agoI think the website is old, and the blurry bits were a prediction
The new cycle is expected to start late in 2019 or in 2020, with solar maximum to be reached between 2023 and 2026 and the maximum (smoothed) sunspot number in the 95 to 130 range.
A different color and a legend would have been nicer imo

I found this diagram, and this should mean that the levels will drop by around 2030?

Data Breaches@lemmy.zip•Code beautifiers expose credentials from banks, govt, tech orgsEnglish
2·17 days agoThousands of credentials, authentication keys, and configuration data impacting organizations in sensitive sectors have been sitting in publicly accessible JSON snippets submitted to the JSONFormatter and CodeBeautify online tools that format and structure code.
Why…
Are non-technical users formatting code for some reason?

Canada@lemmy.ca•Should parents who refuse childhood vaccines be liable if their choice harms someone else’s kid?English
1·19 days agoIMO vaccine and evolutionary biology is very nuanced, and depends a lot on the individual genetics, type of pathogen, type of vaccine, etc. The net result from people dying off might be moot, and could even be harmful.
Immune science is often taught as an arms race, but that model tends to imply that both sides are constantly gaining beneficial traits. That’s true in some cases, like the fever response, which is a beneficial trait we gained at some point, and it continues to be useful.
Meanwhile, other phenotypes are very context dependent for whether they are helpful or harmful. HLA (human leukocyte antigen) for example, that’s how our T-cells identify between ‘self’ and ‘foreign’ particles. We rely on the tremendous diversity of HLA alleles in the human population in order to survive new diseases. Someone’s HLA alleles can be a poor match for a current disease, but very helpful for a future disease. Having them die off now would be a bad thing. Similarly, someone with an HLA combination that makes them more effective against a current disease, may be ineffective against a future disease. Another simpler one is the ABO blood types, where different pathogens (ex. malaria, cholera, smallpox) are better/worse at infecting cells with certain blood types, evidenced by the different proportions of blood types in regions endemic to such diseases.
Evolution is messy, and the evolution of the immune system is messier still. Even if we only look at it from a simplified Darwinian evolution perspective, having genetic diversity might be more important than any shedding of ‘weaker’ alleles from people dying off because their natural immunity couldn’t handle a particular infection.
