I think biweekly should work, we can always adjust later if it's too much or too infrequent.

Did you want to have specific topic threads each time, or were you thinking of listing those as prompts in the post? Both are possible with the scheduling tool

Cool!

I love the UI for this one, it's unique compared to the others

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

That was really cool, worth a post of its own, thanks for sharing!

Feel free to tag anyone that you think might want to weigh in, I'm going to tag @medgremlin@midwest.social, @Dadifer@lemmy.world, @MrShankles@reddthat.com

No worries, I like the meme 😄

Yes! That's what !medicine@mander.xyz is intended for :) I've run into a handful of medical professionals here, but we don't have regular discussion posts yet and so it's mostly news articles.

That community also has an informal relationship with the one on reddit, where we were in contact with the mods there.

Please feel free to share any thoughts or stories in that community :)

I remember in highschool some kids were selling stickers that you were supposed to put on the back of your phone to protect you from "radiation".

I don't think that scam will ever go away

What kind of uses did you have for it?

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

I think they're looking for local "AI" anyway. Since those work directly on your machine, there's no concern around trust (nothing leaves your device) and the resource cost is whatever your hardware uses, or was already using.

There are some concerns still with local models, such as any biases in the training data that was used, but for image classification it wouldn't be that bad.

Pixelfed: "groups" are coming and they will be compatible with Lemmy (who knows if they will also be compatible with Friendica)

@fediverse

Groups are not new to Pixelfed, we have webUI support but the feature wasn't polished enough for use, until now ✨

:pixelfed: Groups will be compatible with #Lemmy, #Mbin, #Smithereen and other projects, and will resemble Facebook Groups in our official app!

Stay tuned, we'll be shipping the updated Groups support in the app and webUI this weekend 🚀

A few common issues:

"I'm not seeing all the content"

Lemmy allows you to filter out content based on the language, but some new users will set this incorrectly in their settings. Please see this post for help. You can also post in either this community, or !languagesettings@lemmy.zip to ask for more help.

"I want to block posts with certain words"

It is possible to use uBlock Origin to do this in the web browser. See this post for detailed instructions.

 

I commented this in another thread, but thought that it could do with its own post.

It's a solid list to go off of if you want to pick a few to host. The link has more info on each, as well as which ones are non-profit / for-profit

Overview

Have some space computing power and want to donate it to a good cause? How about 10+ good causes at once?

♻️ put an under-utilized system to good use
🚲 use as much or as little CPU/RAM/DISK as you want
✨ 100% more soul warming than mining
📈 geek out over your CPU/disk/bandwidth stats on the leaderboards

This is a collection of containers that all contribute to public-good projects:

  • networks: Tor, i2p
  • computing: boinc, foldingathome
  • archiving: archivewarrior, zimfarm, kiwix, archivebox, pywb
  • storage: ipfs, storj, sia, transmission

This v1 list was started by the ArchiveBox project, but it's open to contributions.

 

Just scatter your bricks and take a photo. Brickit will show you hundreds of ideas for what to build with them, along with the exact location of each piece you’ll need.

 

Ashley Chapman, chief operating officer at Ontario-headquartered Chapman’s Ice Cream, said in a statement circulating on social media that the family decided to take that measure for the rest of the year to maintain their prices.

Chapman said they wanted to do their part to support Canadians as U.S. President Donald Trump continues to threaten economic annexation, which Chapman called the “greatest threat to our sovereignty” since the Second World War.

Learned about it from this post: https://lemmy.ca/post/40592484
