It seems like a mix. Part from organ damage, part from misbehaving immune response in some people

It's not necessarily impossible to target prions but it doesn't seem trivial. The reason they're dangerous is specifically the incorrect shape because that shape changes interaction behavior with other biological molecules, and immune cells could theoretically test for that change in interaction. But that's more complicated than regular molecule recognition which immune cells normally do. There's probably research in trying to make immune cells handle that too, but I haven't seen any articles about it.
Because the moderation tools aren't ready for opening it up fully. You can already clone the code and run your own servers
They'd have to do that in custom feeds (which people can ignore) or on 3rd party account servers (which people also can ignore, just like in Mastodon)
Atprotocol.
Mastodon and activitypub is very much like social media implemented in the form of public email lists implemented over HTTP (push massages between servers).
Bluesky uses content addressing (think magnet links for torrents, but for linking to post data) and pull mechanism with notifications, plus public shared archive nodes (CDN-like servers).
The main difference is that you're much more independent of individual servers and can easily move your account around, since your account ID is tied to a cryptographic key belonging to your account which you bring with you along with your post archive, and your handle can be based on a domain name you own (also works as a verification mechanism you don't have to pay extra for).
They're planning to open up public federation this year
Not seeing them because they get mass blocked and reported
The API is pretty much fully open, look up the firehose api for bluesky. This change just allows easy linking
The EU plug is designed so that the pins for power become unreachable before they reach the socket and become powered, and ground wire touches the ground pins before that as well.
The EU law defers to USB IF and allows them to update the standard, so if there's newer better ports for mobile devices released then it can basically be rubberstamped, plus protocol updates for USB C devices are not impeded at all.
The only plausible near-term issue would be if somebody else created a more compact and robust port with equivalent capabilities (and that will likely take some time) which they want to put as the only port in some devices covered by the regulation.
And now we're dealing with key management instead
There's still ways but not trivial. You have to do multifactor analysis, but it's gonna have a ton of noise unless you have a large sample of different people with recurring "neoantigens". It's similar to how drug side effects are tracked for people who take multiple medicines, you compare against populations which share different combinations of the same factors.
