Always more we need to stop believing that humans are intelligent.

When a capitalist system collapse, the always make an reset with a war.

In the past the solution was more direct

US want to ban TikTok, because it's a Chinese company, it has nothing to do with privacy, while in the EU a service must fullfit the GDPR to be allowed to offer their service in the EU and DeepSeek, among others, don't. This has a lot to do with the privacy rights in the EU, those which in the USA don't exist, not with censorship. Privacy is a basic right in the EU and not even the Police can access sensible personal data or track your activity without an court order, less aprivate company for advertising reasons or for training their AIs. But yes, right wing politicians in Germany want to change this, but this isn't so easy in a working Democracy where it need to be approved with a majorit in th Bundestag.

Exactm every company in the RU is forced by law to fullfit the minimum of the GDPR to be able to sell their product, the fines are high, even for Google, MS and META, Nusk even said taking X out of the EU (I would approve it).

There are differences which prove that GDPR is far from perfect, but lightyears better from what the US permits.

Eg. M$ US

vs M$ EU (Germany)

I've also concerns over closed source apps, but as said, the small proprietary part of Vivaldi's UI is irrelevant, there is nothing shady in it, it is full auditable and can even be modded by the user (at own risk, logically)

FLOSS isn't always synonymous of privacy, security and trust and proprietary soft also not always spyware and risky crap.Always is needed to read PP and TOS of the software you want use, it's features, support, and compare it with others, independent if it is FOSS or not. Eg. In Windows since a lot of years, one of the best and most valued tools is IrfanView, free proprietary closed source, but nobody bother because of this, knowing that there is nothing shady or fishy in it, Photoshop is also full trustworth, but there are FOSS alternatives (Gimp, Krita) which in the case of IrfanView not really exist with similar features. Even used by Linux fans with Wine, (IrfanView is Windows only)

Falcon, well, not bad, but too basic for me. The Qt engine is a minimized Blink fork, also used by the Otter Browser (Qt5), same as Goanna respect of Gecko. Valid for users with an old PC or with few resources, who needs a small browser for basic tasks.

I'm from Spain, we also have problems with nazis, but not so as in Germany, but our left gov has a hard time with these hooligans.

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago

Yes, but in the EU a lot of the functions can't be used because of the GDPR and privacy law, the police always need a court order to investigate a person. Mass surveillance are not possible (at least for the moment)

Until now more known in the US, not so much in the EU

Andi's Writeup

Recent research shows significant advances in using hydrogels to restore lost teeth and dental tissue through several approaches:

Injectable Hydrogels for Tooth Pulp Regeneration

  • Researchers at NJIT developed a first-of-its-kind injectable hydrogel that triggers the body to regenerate lost tooth pulp, funded by a $3 million NIH grant[^3]
  • The material recruits dental pulp stem cells to rebuild tissue without requiring live cells, making it viable for off-the-shelf use[^3]
  • Early animal trials showed formation of soft tissue, blood vessels, and nerve bundles within a month[^3]

Enamel Regeneration

  • Scientists in China created a gel containing mineral clusters that can stimulate crystal regrowth to restore eroded tooth enamel[^18]
  • Tel Aviv University researchers developed a water-based hydrogel that encourages bone regrowth, potentially transforming dental implant procedures[^5]
  • USC researchers engineered peptide-based hydrogels that can rebuild tooth enamel structure and restore early cavity damage[^23]

Periodontal Tissue Engineering

  • Hydrogels are being used as scaffolds to regenerate periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and cementum[^2]
  • Key components include:
    • Natural polymers like chitosan, sodium alginate, and hyaluronic acid
    • Synthetic polymers such as polyethylene glycol and gelatin methacryloyl
    • Bioactive substances including antibiotics, growth factors, and stem cells[^2]

Future Development

  • Japanese researchers aim to begin human trials for tooth regeneration within 6 years[^20]
  • Current challenges include:
    • Creating sufficient blood vasculature
    • Controlling bacterial growth
    • Improving mechanical properties
    • Achieving complete periodontal regeneration[^2]
