Welcome, I'd love to see more communities and content related to medicine on the fediverse :)

If it helps, part of my hope with !medicine@mander.xyz was that it would be used by medical professionals, similar to r/Medicine on Reddit (whom we've been in contact with, and from what I can tell we have a friendly relationship with). I just haven't had the time (or expertise) to pursue it further. Any content that could be posted in this new community would also be great on that one, and I'm happy to add more people as moderators or make changes to that community to have it better suit what people want. That way, it gets the boost of already having a good number of subscribers that are interested in that content.

No reason why there can't be more than one community! My reason for suggesting it is because there aren't that many medical professionals here on Lemmy yet, so it could help to coordinate a bit so we're not spread too thin. For example, encouraging posts in (or cross-posts to) the larger community at !medicine@mander.xyz and the such.

I love that you've already found some more medical professionals with this community :)

For anyone that has friends that can be convinced to move off snapchat:

  • it doesn't actually delete things after the timer goes out, it just hides it from view. Sometimes the app bugs out and that data will be accessible again
  • signal has stories and the same format of disappearing messages
  • everything else that's good about signal

If what they want is the "One weird trick your doctor is hiding from you" style content on the discover page, then I got nothing.

You can link them in the body (or even in comments)

You use this format:

![alt-text](URL)

For example

![Cat napping in the sun](https://example.com/cat-nap.jpg)

Maybe part of the solution should be to change how we talk about products or make recommendations. Such as describing what to look for in a product instead of the product itself.

Make the bots more obvious

A key to making the device effective was the discovery that flies are three times more attracted to the color blue than to yellow and that yellow actually seemed to repel flies.

Well TIL, maybe it's the color?

My original guess was that red watermelons are more common and so flies have evolved to crave it. You could also try with other fruits and report back 😄

The hoiho, or yellow-eyed penguin, won the country’s fiercely fought avian election on Monday, offering hope to supporters of the endangered bird that recognition from its victory might prompt a revival of the species.

It followed a campaign for the annual Bird of the Year vote that was absent the foreign interference scandals and cheating controversies of past polls. Instead, campaigners in the long-running contest sought votes in the usual ways — launching meme wars, seeking celebrity endorsements and even getting tattoos to prove their loyalty.

More than 50,000 people voted in the poll, 300,000 fewer than last year, when British late night host John Oliver drove a humorous campaign for the pūteketeke -- a “deeply weird bird” which eats and vomits its own feathers – securing a landslide win.

I found this (rather toxic) thread talking about turning it off. Doesn't seem like it's possible normally, but I'll be curious how GRAPHENE IS handles it.

Ah it's only available in the US too

The new version also hasn't been around for that long, so it might face issues that will be worked out over time. We already had a post on a Lemmy android community about moisture issues

ImageToolbox is a great android app for editing and working with images. I still haven't explored all the features, and honestly it can get a bit overwhelming. But if I need a feature, it usually exists

Copied the changelog below

    • Messenger: 3 bar menu > gear icon > scroll to bottom > Accounts Center

There should also be an option for Manage future activity


I use some apps to communicate with family, and clearly my privacy protections weren't as good as I thought they were. I set things up a long time ago, so I imagine something changed since then.

I'm considering of either sending the apps to the work profile, or switching to only using them in the browser. If it's because I connected my account to the other service at some point, I don't know how to sever that connection now aside from dropping that other game/app/service

The app was crashing instantly on a family member's phone, and looking up the problem got me a lot of recent posts about the issue.

Fix:

  1. Go to the play store and find the app, either by searching for it, using the installed apps list, or this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps
  2. It should have a button for "Uninstall", with a note about only uninstalling updates as it is a system app
  3. Select uninstall, and then open the app

You may also need to disable automatic updates for the app until this gets fixed.

  1. Repeat the first step to open the app page
  2. Tap the 3 dot menu
  3. Uncheck "Enable Auto Update"
