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

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

reminds me of this

(warning video from Reddit, and it might be a bit crude)

Oh interesting, looks like they have a sister Lemmy community that never took off: N reddit.com/…/join_our_sister_community_at_lemmywo…

otter,

This is the first thing that came to mind. I used to get them at the dentist as a kid

Didn’t realize how cheap they were, maybe I’ll get more…

otter,

Please also consider this community for more content

otter,

To follow up: What is a good solution for OPs use case?

Personal section on Jellyfin?

Alleged RCMP leaker says he was tipped off that police targets had 'moles' in law enforcement (www.cbc.ca)

According to Ortis, briefed him about a “storefront” that was being created to attract criminal targets to an online encryption service. A storefront, said Ortis, is a fake business or entity, either online or bricks-and-mortar, set up by police or intelligence agencies....

This is a comment from a random user, not the pinned explanation on that link, but I thought it was funny

CBC can’t be trusted. Propaganda state media for the Liberals.

lol what

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

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,

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

One of my favourites for sure :)

Z-Library Blog: "Unprecedented seizure of our domains with books on rare languages" (z-library.se)

Today we are forced to share some sad news - yesterday many of our domains were seized again. We should highlight that the majority of the seized domains were not mirrors of the Z-Library website. Instead, they were separate sub-projects, containing only books in rare languages of the world, and their blocking is perplexing. For...

Instead, they were separate sub-projects, containing only books in rare languages of the world

All of this is a priceless heritage, contributing to the preservation and study of world cultures, and serving as important material for researchers in linguistics, anthropology, and history.

I’d be curious to take a look once it comes back up

otter,

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

Had me confused

otter,

Hopefully imgur doesn’t compress it: i.imgur.com/slxKa60.png

otter,

Great to hear! I had them generated, but I was really happy with how this one came out :)

I’m hoping to eventually have some Lemmy artists swap the banners/icons once there’s a need for it

otter,

sorry old Ptolemy

otter,

Trail camera 😊

otter,

It took some trial and error, but I used DALLE for it. The prompt was something like
