The Rise of the "Long Flu" - A New Health Challenge Similar to Long-COVID

Studies have shown that patients hospitalized with the flu or COVID-19 face an increased risk of long-term health problems and death. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous studies have detailed the virus's ability to attack multiple organ systems, potentially leading to a range of long-lasting and often disabling health problems known as Long-COVID. Now, new research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the Veterans Affairs St. Louis Health Care System shows that people hospitalized with seasonal flu can also experience long-term negative health effects, especially on the lungs and respiratory tract.

Bruce Perens, one of the founders of the open source movement, was interviewed to talk about the post-open source movement

He said that there are several pressing issues that the open source community needs to address: the first is that open source licenses no longer work effectively, companies have discovered vulnerabilities, GPL licenses no longer work as originally intended, and Red Hat is selling its enterprise distribution RHEL by circumventing the GPL license. Red Hat, now part of IBM, announced in June that it would stop making RHEL source code publicly available under the GPL. According to Perens, Red Hat is no longer the Red Hat of the past, but IBM. IBM no longer allows RHEL customers to disclose the source code of the security patches it produces, and if it does, it will deny you access to continue as a RHEL customer. According to Perens, another straw that broke the camel of open source was that open source could not serve the general public, and ordinary users used open source software through the systems of private software companies such as Apple iOS or Google Android. iOS or Android are based on open-source infrastructure, but most apps are private. The open source movement advocated software freedom is good for the average user, but today's open source software is used to spy on and even oppress users. Free software is 50 years old, and the open source movement is 30 years old, and it's time to rethink what he calls the post-open source movement.

Astronomers have proven that galactic winds are a frequent phenomenon in the universe

Recent studies using MUSE instruments have shown that galactic winds, which are critical to the evolution of galaxies, are a recurrent phenomenon in the universe, challenging previous assumptions about the scarcity of galactic winds. In some cases, galaxies release large amounts of matter into their surroundings triggered by the explosion of a large number of massive stars. The MUSE instrument of the Very Large Telescope at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) has now demonstrated for the first time that such galactic winds are by no means rare, but occur frequently.
