  • 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.








  • Someone made a bunch of noise about the archive.is/ph/li maintainer being anonymous and how they preferred this for their personal privacy. Knowing this, the individual still felt the need to make noise when there was already was some, which resulted in repercussions. The maintainer even stated they’re glad Wikipedia wants to strip archive.is/ph/li of their pages as hopefully it’ll lead to Wikipedia archiving their pages themselves.

    Due to the functionality needed for archiving, archival sites can be used to substantially increase the success of DDoS attacks. But what’s to say they weren’t hit with malware and taken over for a while? This is basically one person’s word vs another and in the big picture that drama doesn’t change how I see the sites function. No one’s perfect and I don’t expect that of anyone, but the site has worked flawlessly for me. But then again, this is just me, so please feel free to provide an alternative archive of the linked webpage for the post!







  • That’s par for the course my friend. But the response to these cliché statements is what can start to change perspectives! I like highlighting how Big Tech knows them better than they know themselves. Then get into how this means big tech has the ability to change how they view a topic based the specific search results. I then zoom out and explain how this happens for every user similar to them, as well as for every other “group” big tech classifies people under.

    I often get something like “But what can we even do about it then?” in response, which more often than not, eventually leads to them admitting they’re lazy and things are too convient to switch away from or stop using lol
