There's a concept called building for throwawayability in the front-end. If you're using Testing Library for tesing front-end components and you're not writing a big app consider whether or not you're using your time wisely. As by the time you finish perfecting your unit tests you might have to throw it all away.
Here we go again. What was once a conspiracy is now mass media designed to feed the frenzy. Perhaps menstral cycles are 100% psychological for the 20% who opted to rely on their own immune systems to fight the disease. What do you think?
It’s all uncritically regurgitating ‘science’ until the science shows things you don’t want to see. Then it’s “What do you think?”
What I think is that this is serious and needs to be studied and is another side effect of vaccines that needs to be taken into account when people make a voluntary, informed choice whether to take them or not.
Menstrual cycle and immune system are very closely connected. It is good that possible effect of inflammatory process on menstrual cycle gets more attention and research.
I guess it's because it's not a new study and was discussed over and over again even here on hackernews and most of the study got dismissed after peer reviews. It's bad science and even worse journalism.
Yikes. Go take your assumptions and discuss with idiots that fall for your flame bait. I am out.
The paper is just bogus science or at the least misinterpreted facts, inflammation is a factor in menstrual cycle changes this is present for most if not all vaccines https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16403011/
You are even worse than some facebook moms researchers, max. two pages down on google. Because you actually believe you ate it by the spoonful. No, idea about the subject. No, idea how to search and interpret scientific papers. Just CTRL+F, CTRL+C and CTRL+V. Like the junior dev in the meeting after he googled what's on the chart "but actually...". The nih granted 1.67 mil to other scientist who are doing the peer review now. You can find it by searching and you can even get the preprints. You can do it yourself maybe you'll learn something from it. causation vs correlation.
It did once, over 10 years ago (in 2008 or so, with the whole fmt=18 arguments etc), if your total video bitrate was below 320 kbps, it left the audio untouched ... I wonder if those videos from back then are still around and if yes, still have untouched audio.
Of course now it only has 96kbps aac, but it did have untouched mp3 audio back then.
And another update, I downloaded it back in 2013, where it still had 160kbps mp3 audio!
Note after formatting: As you can see from the video FPS, the trick was to keep the video bitrate as low as possible, by using a still image (or pad it with black + silence at the end). I'm not sure anymore if you had to also already use the same video codec as youtube did back then, i.e., if the video stayed untouched too. I never managed to upload a video like this, so I don't exactly know.

The -x option will do that ONLY if no pure audio stream is available -- for youtube.com, this seems only to happen for live streams. More common on other sites. (Youtube-dl supports many different sites.)
Use yt-dlp and pass it the SponsorBlock flags to auto skip intro/outro/sponsor/non-music sections. I used to use this to pipe videos into cmus or MPV but now just let a browser with ublock/sponsorblock go in the background
It's always great to see new software titles land on F-Droid. The rub with messengers is that for each new messenger we've further fragmented our ability to communicate with one another. Rember the telephone? You used to be able to call literally anyone and you didn't have to ask which operator they were using.
Matrix.org should be able to function as the telephone exchange that connects all communication services, as it is well posed to work as a universal connector.
If, at some time in the future, it manages to create a usable bridge to connect between two popular private services (say Whatsapp and Telegram, or Teams and Slack) it could start accumulating network effects, and become a desirable target for all other networks so that it is appealing for them to build their own bridges to the Matrix services.

- End to end encryption is not active for these services as long as you don't run the bridge yourself (which in principle is possible as well, see e.g. the description at the website of Beeper) which stretches usable a bit...
Both problems would likely be solved if these services would provide an API for other messengers and would cooperate on a common standard for E2EE like MLS, however the likelihood for that ... seems pretty small.

This is essentially what signal achieves IMO: it's replacements for sms, mms, audio with added security (plus video and group chat).
Using your telephone number as username the experience is transparent and unlike all other messaging apps. I can write texts to whomever and if they do have signal, it defaults to encrypted coms. It's inclusive by design.
Other services require usernames and email and whatnot, which effectively ensures it will not be the default. (I understand Apple users cannot change the default messaging app to only use Signal, which is a choice in tune with the walled garden and exclusive by design.)
Signal doesn't achieve this at all. In this regard, they are just another messaging service that's not compatible with anything and also they are discouraging (to say the least) unofficial clients from connecting official servers. They are yet another fragment in the already fragmented ecosystem.
What's a step forward in this regard is projects like libpurple or Matrix bridges. Whose goal is to make already existing networks interconnected.
