perhaps this is why these tiny cells are so crowded.
"RNA-directed catalysis can actually be improved upon compartmentalization95. The mechanism for this seems to be molecular crowding, such that the local con- centration of RNA can be increased, leading to a catalytic enhancement of up to 70-fold. Thus, the mere process of putting RNA into a tiny cell-like structure can confer a selective advantage on a genotype."

Yesterday, CounterSocial purged 24,928 accounts that were ostensibly established to carry out influence operations ahead of the 2024 elections.

Here is the total number of other social media sites who are taking similar precautions to protect their users from this ongoing threat to democracy. #CoSoTips

“We need to execute the traitors that are trying to steal the election, and that includes the leaders of the media and social media aiding and abetting the coup plotters,” Brock wrote on Facebook on Nov. 8, 2020. “No way in hell we should accept this rigged election,” he wrote in December. “I think SCOTUS needs to see if they don’t act that there will be blood.” On Christmas Eve, he wrote, “I bought myself body armor and a helmet for the civil war that is coming.”https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/03/17/air-force-veteran-larry-brock-sentenced-jan-6/

I guess the moral of the story is always be nice to people. You never know when your paths might cross again.

Malware infecting widely used security appliance survives firmware updates

"To achieve this persistence, the malware checks for available firmware upgrades. When an update becomes available, the malware copies the archived file for backup, unzips it, mounts it, and then copies the entire package of malicious files to it. The malware also adds a backdoor root user to the mounted file. Then, the malware rezips the file so it's ready for installation."

@tiptoeing You can record like 6 channels or more of audio in it, you need to set your audio source accordingly and mic input source as well to hear your voice.

On CounterSocial, who you follow and who follows you is absolutely meaningless.

You read that right. Meaningless.

We have no algorithm. Follow who you want, or don't. There's no drama about this because again, we have no algorithm, and curating your own experience is how it's done here.

It's better this way. #CoSoTips
