Welcome!

We also have a few custom front ends, one of which is https://old.lemmy.ca/

Since it’s developed by a third party, it’s likely not as stable as the main interface, but it’s fun to look at 😄

Sure but again, the CT scans aren’t done just for fun and most medical procedures have some risk involved. If someone is getting a CT scan, chances are that there is something immediate to deal with and so the relatively small future risk of cancer can be worth it.

I haven’t read through the study yet, but at most I think this will slightly change those risk calculations when deciding on diagnostic options

Unlike vaccines, someone’s choice to skip the CT scan will limit the harm to just that person, but I’d rather people can make an informed choice on it than misunderstand the 5% statistic

Thanks! Made a comment here

The new findings suggest that the star actually did not swell to envelop a planet as previously hypothesized. Instead, Webb’s observations show the planet’s orbit shrank over time, slowly bringing the planet closer to its demise until it was engulfed in full.

Interesting, why did we previously think that stars would swell, gravitational changes?

Believe me I want the same thing, and I’d imagine most people here want the same. The solution is to post more of what you want to see so others can learn from it. There’s no entity here deciding what content people post

I didn’t know about the IBM plant, and if you want to make a post about it in [email protected] or some other community, I think it would be cool for more people to know about it

This is great, thank you!

Note that there are two similar sounding products. A friend tried the plant balls and enjoyed them, but then bought the bag of vegetables balls to take home and was disappointed

If it’s a public list, feel free to share it on [email protected] :)

I agree that this is happening. While we should be aware of what they’re up to when it directly affects us, we could use more Canada specific content

I try to share what I can, feel free to share some as well :) If you have a website that you recommend, I can see if I can share more from there

I think the user is referring to the ‘open by default’ and ‘supported links’ feature in android apps, where clicking a link in a web browser opens it in the relevant app

I use this and it seems to work well. Boost should implement something similar, but in the meantime does this app help in your case?

While it’s still somewhat of a blackbox, some definitions of “open source AI” are better than others

https://opensource.org/ai

The OSI one is decent

It’s also early on for most of these platforms. They’re relatively new, changing rapidly, and so it’s harder to keep the platforms compatible with everything that’s out there.

As an example, there have been a few improvements over the past short while around Mastodon-Lemmy compatibility

Once the software matures, I imagine it’ll be easier to see the content in most popular formats

The format of the post also looked similar to spam posts at first glance. A lot of them are pushing AI things

While this won’t be the case with everyone, it was mentioned a few times in a post I made here a long while back

I’m a woman, and make no attempt to hide that fact in my posts. That said, I also don’t personally have much interest in talking about being a woman, so don’t sub to any of those places you linked.

Over on Reddit I just sort of let people assume I was male a lot of the time, since it wasn’t really relevant to what we were talking about. But from the start on Lemmy I’ve made sure to call out incorrect assumptions, downvote and give a talking to people stereotyping or being misogynistic, etc etc. And the more of us (of all genders) that make that same decision, the better things get

This does happen with comments sometimes. I go into a post and someone has already eloquently said what I would have said (often better than I would have). So I upvote it and move along

Thanks 😄

I might be missing the joke, but I think this was cancelled:

The Hedge fund is not doing well unfortunately

Done, you are now a mod!

Feel free to make a post to onboard more people if you would like. Some mod actions work better from a local account (ex. pinning and unpinning posts, and seeing certain reports), so it can help to have a secondary local account. Otherwise no harm in moderating from your main :)

According to Mr. McGowan’s complaint, the steward became visibly upset and allegedly stated, “If your travel agent can’t order vegan food I am not helping you.”

The crew member reportedly showed the passengers Emirates’ computer records indicating they had not ordered vegan meals and subsequently declined to provide them with food, drinks, or coffee during the long-haul flight.

The aftermath proved equally frustrating for the passengers. Mr. McGowan reported making six separate complaints to Hays Travel in Glasgow, who insisted they had correctly booked vegan meals. After two months of communication between Hays and Emirates, the airline refused to acknowledge any error in their meal ordering system.

Well that’s just unprofessional all around :( Long haul flight too

Emirates reported a 40% year-on-year surge in demand for plant-based meals across its global network.

Hopefully that means that there will be more effort to support different dietary options moving forward
