The biggest thing for me right now is backups

I can’t comfortably recommend it to people that will lose access if they lose their phones / upgrade without following the process perfectly

otter,

The process is a bit involved on mobile. Setting up a backup location, using a third party app to sync updates and deletions etc. It could be simplified by integrating with common cloud storage services (the encrypted file)

Also iOS doesn’t have backups at all last I checked. If you lose your phone the messages are toast

otter,

Well sure, but encrypted backups are still secure. What’s not secure (or private rather) is someone realizing they can’t have a backup of important chats and going back to Facebook Messenger.

Backups are a thing on Android, and they’re planned for iOS. It just hasn’t happened yet. People can choose what they want to backup and when they want disappearing messages turned on.

otter,

Could it be a buggy controller or remote?

otter,

What about unplugging the HDMI cable to test, see if it still turns on

My forearms are is going to be so strong

otter,

With locally processed data

otter,

The hope here was that the device would work the way we want them to

So locally processed data, no tracking (unless you want to track your location intentionally) etc.

otter,

I remember seeing something like that for posture, could repurpose it

otter,

A big positive for driving over transit is being able to bring extra stuff that you might need

A bag of holding would fix that. 100% prepared, all the time

otter,

Have a casio you recommend?

Any day now we’re going to see an advertisement where someone drinks water, dry instant noodles, and coins and walks to the MRI room (before being stopped to talk about some self cooking option)

Like this classic KD ad youtube.com/watch?v=iEN2n9bGijI

Or this

otter,

What are some features you like from Vivaldi?

Oh cool, didn’t know about this

otter,

For some reason I read reserve like a national resource reserve (ex. Gold, fuel, helium) rather than conservation area

Had me confused

otter,

Really old posts maybe, but it might help to see which posts you are trying to comment on

Oldest post for me is this one from 5 years ago: lemmy.ca/post/375988

I was able to comment on it just now

How safe are grammar editing tools?

Without naming names, there’s a well advertised grammar editing tool that’s available either as an app download or browser extension. This is something I’d value for a number of reasons (good grammar is important!) but I’m super cautious about anything I’m giving permission to watch what I’m typing....

otter,

This one is recommended by Mozilla

addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/…/languagetool/

It DOES still need to send data somewhere to check

Your privacy is important to us: By default, this extension will check your text by sending it to languagetool.org over a securely encrypted connection. No account is needed to use this extension. We don’t store your IP address. See languagetool.org/privacy/ for our privacy policy.

I don’t want to confirm details I don’t know, so someone else should probably explain more on if this is good/bad

otter,

Welcome!

We actually spun up a new community for new people, feel free to drop by with any questions or thoughts :)

!newtolemmy

otter,

Donations or grants would probably be best. I’m sure there are community grants available for doing public good.

I’ve also seen some open source things sell merch, where you buy a hat or something with a particular logo. It’s still donating with extra steps, but it’s a little different

Our instance admin broke it down recently, and it’s actually not too expensive to run. Without wasting money on engagement, growth, data collection, marketing, etc, it’s not actually that expensive to run social media platforms I guess

otter,

Convincing them should be easy enough as long as it’s someone trustworthy

The media is going to be degrading every day that it’s not digitized

You could post it to !medicine, but please tag it as NSFW and keep the discussion focussed on the medical aspect of the procedure (it sounds like that was the intent).

This is a community for medical professionals. Please see the Medical Community Hub for other communities.

Official Lemmy community for /r/Medicine.

Also note that it’s only recently become the parallel community for r/Medicine, and there may be people subscribed who aren’t medical professionals and may not appreciate it (they may downvote it).

If you do find more medical communities then please share. I’d like to add them to the post on the Medical Community Hub
