Microsoft should name a version of their OS in her honor. It would be called Windows Nyder.

Scientists have demonstrated that human genes can be controlled with electricity, a breakthrough that could pave the way toward wearable devices that program genes to perform medical interventions, reports a new study.

That's actually fucking scary.

These scientists definitely didn't stop to think if they should.

Me right now:

My last comment on reddit is "Fuck /u/spez" too. I didn't do anything as radical as deleting my comments/posts, nor made any definitive statements but while I lurked a few times there, I never made a new comment since June 30. And by now I'm becoming confident that it will stay that way.

He's not pining, he's passed on! The bird is no more, he ceased to be! This is an EX-bird!

What? They are doing /r/place now? Is that some last ditch effort to make peace with the userbase or even to lure back those who left, lol?

Anyway, I admit I had a quick glance at the canvas, saw the huge text /U/SPEZ IST EIN HURENSOHN, chuckled and left.

Thought it was a stylized parrot in the thumbnail.

I don't understand why disposable vapes are even legal at all. I mean we banned friggin' plastic straws but this thing is fine?! Who even came up with such a terrible product in current times?

Hey, I didn't even know there were more instances when I joined. I just went where RIF sent me, lol.

I occasionally open RIF just to see if it's still working which it is but it doesn't let me login, meaning I can only access the front page of /r/all and man, it is abysmal. The content there doesn't even motivate me to stay there any longer than for a quick glance, lol. Tbf, if I open old.reddit on PC while logged in (which I now almost never do and I haven't posted anything there since June 31), it is better but it still doesn't feel completely the same. Plenty of subs still missing, some other that I didn't use to see much are now more present instead, and then there's /r/videos which still requires profanity in titles but now also, hilariously, only allows text transcripts of videos with no link to them.

Man, I'm so glad I don't have to wear some ridiculous suits or even just shirts with ties or similar to the office. In current weather, I wear shorts, a T-shirt and sandals (which I exchange for slippers if I know I won't be leaving the office for the next few hours).

Maybe I'm misremembering it but I don't think personal devices would be much affected. Apart from potentially damaging satellites, AFAIK the biggest danger is induction of big currents in powerlines and telecommunications lines and it could fry the components connected directly to them if they're not sufficiently protected from power surges (substations, network elements etc.). Any damage to data storage devices, computer chips and such would only be secondary, if the surge propagates all the way to the computer or server, which I find quite unlikely on a larger scale with all the surge protections we have. But someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Spent most of the days hiking and biking in the mountains.

I spent the last few days almost literally under a rock and... what the hell is Threads and why is it everywhere?

Here's Johnny!

Same here.

Fuck /u/spez.

Ok, now that's off my chest, let me see, how does this lemmy thing work?
