Twitter's lost 13% of its daily users and its rebrand has failed (www.bigtechnology.com)

The new data — comprehensive and definitive — should put to rest the countervailing narratives over Musk’s management of the app. Under his stewardship, X’s daily user base has declined from an estimated 140 million users to 121 million, with a widening gap between people who check the app daily vs. monthly. X’s...

resurrexia,

Interestingly the Facebook algorithm works so well for me it never shows me irl people, or politicians. Only animals, art and news articles (mainly long form editorials from NYT).

Crypto is the hack. On your wallet...

What to wear to the office in Kuala Lumpur?

I am an American visiting Kuala Lumpur on business. I dress pretty casually - t-shirt tucked in jeans/nice travel pants, Adidas Samba sneakers, and the like. Think casualwear from Old Navy, Uniqlo, H&M, etc. I never needed to dress business formal for my job, so I don’t really have business formal clothing....

resurrexia,

Yeah avoid showing cleavage or legs. Long pants in lightweight fabric should serve fine. Uniqlo Airism will do.

Not to mention when you’re indoors the aircon is actually cold.

Passenger on Ill-Fated Diarrhea Plane Says Flight Attendants Were Forced to Craft "Makeshift Biohazard Suits" (futurism.com)

On Friday, an international Delta flight bound for sunny Barcelona was forced to U-turn back to its starting point, Atlanta, for an exceedingly rare air travel horror: a passenger had suffered diarrhea throughout the plane’s aisle so extensively that completing the flight was deemed untenable....

resurrexia,

Salmonella can hide out in the body and get reactivated again later so I’m not surprised. Plus your gut flora took a massive beating back then.

They’re trying to milk our subsidies.

resurrexia,

Reposting from my misskey:

In view of the Kyoani case progressing, I want to talk about Dr Ueda Takahiro, the doctor who was in charge of the skin grafting of arsonist Aoba Shinji.

Not a single piece of Western media has named Dr Ueda for his work in advancing skin grafting, and in particular, the technique called Cultured Epithelial Autografts (CEA), which I think is what was used for Aoba.

For starters, this is Dr Ueda's Researchgate and Researchmap profiles with his papers. At this point there doesn't seem to be a specific case report talking about Aoba's medical progress, but it can be inferred that he may have been included in studies that included multiple patients. I also don't have access to the Japanese-only research papers (and my Japanese ability isn't at an academic level) and only what was originally published in English, but for an idea of what the skin grafting procedure entailed, you can read one of his older English-first publications that are available online (this predates Aoba so the technique is likely even more refined now). I'm sure much of what has been learned has also been incorporated into the Japanese Society for Burn Injuries (JSBI) Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Burn Care (3rd Edition), which Dr Ueda contributed to.

What did Aoba's skin grafting process entail? English news sources didn't talk about it, but Mainichi did in this article (my interpretation):

Aoba had 90% body surface area of 3rd degree burns. It seems that at the time of the arson, he was wearing a fanny pack around his waist, which kept some skin from being too injured. Part of that intact skin was taken for cultures and placed on top of an artificial dermis, for a duration of 4 weeks. He underwent 9 surgeries for the burns (likely including the original debridement and graft harvesting procedures).

Asahi Shinbun has an article on Dr Ueda's reflections about the incident in English.

You can also find some of his own thoughts and retweets about the case on his Twitter/X

resurrexia,

Thanks for the link! I’ll get to watching it tonight.

resurrexia,

Name checks out

resurrexia,

The app is brilliant! What I'm noticing though, is that we're missing some mags and subs (randomly, no pattern to it) across all instances on artemis.camp.

resurrexia,

The thing is I was going through my sub list on kbin to sub back to the same things - artemis.camp could not show results for mags from both kbin.social and lemmy.world, among other instances.

resurrexia,

Shot themselves in the foot eh

resurrexia,

Information to ransom, among other things that sebinspace said.

HIV diagnosis? STD diagnosis? Someone on hormones for gender-affirmijg purposes? Abortions? In places where these may or may not be legal or safe for such knowledge to be public, victims aren’t likely to think twice before panicking and paying up to not have their data leaked.

I feel like all fedi software has problematic devs, Calckey

I feel like almost every single piece of software has some problematic dev that has racism, transphobia, or both. I recently read a post about the calc key devs and sighed *facepalm. It is honestly really annoying cause I want friends to use Fedi but than you can pull up a whole laundry list of problems with the devs and it’s...

resurrexia,

I wouldn’t want to be another statistic that boosts their user count that they can brag about. And if there are ads, I don’t want to be contributing monetarily to them and their ideals.

I feel this applies to “smaller” platforms like lemmy more - where a very defined group is running the show. Or massive ones with certain figureheads who talk too much shit, like where most of us came from.

In essence, it’s a matter of principles.

Is using terms like 2SLGBTQQIA+ insensitive?

So I’ve recently been trying to use the term “2SLGBTQQIA+” over “LGBTQ” as it seems more inclusive, and includes first nation peoples beliefs on sexuality and gender, as well as including and differentiating “queer” from “questioning”. It’s not perfect (still combines A for ally and A for Asexual) but I think...

resurrexia,

I personally like to use MOGAI as an umbrella term - Marginalized Orientations, Gender Alignments, and Intersex - but it is not mainstream at all.

These days I use LGBTQ+ instead.

No. Singaporean here. No parking is denoted by having double lines drawn on the tarmac. I don’t know what the stripes are for.

Exclusive: iPhone 15 Pro design reveals new buttons, giant camera bump, colors, and more (9to5mac.com)

Last month, 9to5Mac exclusively shared the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro design with basic CAD images. Since then, we’ve been working to gather more exclusive details from MFi accessory makers, new detailed CAD obtained by 9to5Mac’s Max Weinbach, and other sources....

Oof the new red is ugly, thankful I got my purple 14 Pro. This baby will be holding out until I break all my lightning accessories...

resurrexia,

At least I don’t need to pay to turn it off.

resurrexia,

Cool if the car was downloaded too

resurrexia,

My only complaint about Voyager is lack of Kbin support. Perfect otherwise.

resurrexia,

Basically just don’t prog endgame content on pf and you avoid most issues. And don’t crash an ERP den and be shocked to see whatever goes on in there.

Suggestions for activism campaigns on Lemmy and kbin? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I’m working on an activism campaign kicking off next week opposing some bad internet bills in the US – here’s the kbin magazine I just set up, and I might set up a Lemmy community as well if that makes sense. Once things get going, we’ll be sharing links including information and actions people can take....

resurrexia,

No, it's just not a commonly used word.

resurrexia,

Replicas have been made but they are less than 1% as active as what the originals on Reddit were. It's curing my addiction to internet drama though.

resurrexia,

So revolutionary

resurrexia,

Okay but are eyebrow transplants really a thing???

Are any of your friends on the fediverse too? If not, have you tried to get them to join?

I’ve been telling a lot of people about it, but everyone’s a skeptic. I’ve heard a lot of people saying that they’re just going to wait to see which Reddit clone comes out on top before switching. Most of them haven’t heard of the other parts of the fediverse like mastodon. I’d like to leave fb/instagram, but like...

resurrexia,

Nope but they’ll at least open kbin links when I send them memes…

resurrexia,

AI generated content is NOT art

resurrexia,

@ted

@Butter_My_Buttcheeks anybody know about kbin?

resurrexia,

Weird, I didn’t change that setting but I’m pinging everyone. I thought it was a kbin default.

resurrexia,

I went to settings and turned it all off. Didn't see that there the last time I tweaked settings. Must be new! Kudos to ernest.

@executive_chicken yes and it’s still happening...

@Auk it has an interesting texture

Artemis private beta rollouts have begun! (kbin.social)

Hi there, the Artemis private beta rollout has just started! @hariette will be emailing 50 signup sheet users, while @lilkev will be adding 50 users from Artemis Discord. The order will be based on the submissions to the private beta signup form, as well as general activity within the Artemis community....

resurrexia,

@w8l exciting! I'm probably one of the last people on the list though, so I gotta make do with safari for now

resurrexia,

@apemint presumably, you should brush those teeth too...

@Niello No truffle? Really? I guess that leaves ALL the truffle for me!

Does anybody feel like the quality of reddit has already dropped massively? (kbin.social)

I see a lot of comments from bootlickers on how the protests are dumb and stupid and dont work and engagement metrics are still holding but the quality of posts and comments has noticeably depreciated imo. So much so that whenever I visit the site Im actually shocked at how bad it is.

resurrexia,

@yunggwailo IMO it’s bad on big subs but for niche subs that can’t/won’t move to the Fediverse it’s the same. It’s incredibly frustrating because there’s almost nowhere else to have a decent conversation about these topics in a non-discord, forum-like fashion.

@Kierunkowy74

@shepherd A warning about Pawoo: it is FAR TOO EASY to accidentally see lolicon hentai art there right now, despite the admins trying to do something about CP (https://pawoo.net/web/statuses/110195807808920534). The legality and morality of lolicon hentai vs real human CP is another thing but at the moment that shit is out there in the open. Also, they don't allow you to search for text within posts, so you're limited to the global feed where you can encounter the aformentioned, or you have to specifically know who you want to follow and curate from there.

resurrexia,

@FixedFun all hail the party parrot!

resurrexia,

@FixedFun party parrot time!

@ernest having issues uploading a profile pic - is there a size limit? If so, would like to ask that the size limit be defined on the upload page.
