What's a popular opinion on Lemmy that's unpopular in the real world? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Provided we are talking about taxation not guillotines, it's that really a problem? In Norway, a doctor doesn't earn much more than a train ticket seller.

"Why study medicine", you ask? "Self actualisation." Is their answer. Remember, University is free in that system, so no student debt.

It could be argued that people are AGI. Are they always trustworthy?

In order for Superman to keep his cover as Clark Kent countless innocents he had the power to save have to die every day. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

This is true of public services. Society is always making choices which balance the level of service with the cost. If we wanted to save the maximum number of lives, there would be a hospital next to every home. We accept that some people, who could be saved, will die while they wait for an ambulance.

Are you CPR/First Aid certified? If so, do you carry around a "rescue breath mouth shield" with you everywhere you go? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The latest first aid guidelines in Australia say to do EAR, but my employer's training was to use a non rebreather and oxygen therapy with no breaths. Maybe that's an advanced resuscitation thing. I think it dropping breaths happened during Covid.

A recent heart attack I was at where I worked on the patient with the ambulance (outside of work) also didn't do breaths.

I'm going to leave this up as the question is not against the rules. However any suggestion of violence against any people will not be tolerated.

Presence of Perfluorohexanoic Acid in Fluoroelastomer Watch Bands (pubs.acs.org)
 

Abstract

Many “smart” and “fitness” watch bands are advertised to contain fluoroelastomers, a type of synthetic rubber designed to be resilient against skin oils and sweat. Fluoroelastomers, which are considered a polymeric form of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), have historically involved the use of shorter-chain PFAS as surfactants in the polymerization process. In this study, 22 watch bands were analyzed across numerous brands and price points for the presence of PFAS. Products were first screened for total fluorine using particle-induced gamma-ray emission spectroscopy on the surface of these bands, and 15 of the 22 watch bands contained total F concentrations >1% fluorine, suggesting the widespread use of fluoroelastomers in this product category. Watch bands then underwent solvent extraction and targeted LC-MS/MS analysis for 20 PFAS. Perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) was the most frequently detected compound with concentrations from <LoD to 16662 ng/g. A subset of six watch bands also underwent direct total oxidative precursor (dTOP) assay to determine the presence of PFAS precursors. The very high concentrations of PFHxA readily extractable from the surfaces of fluoroelastomer watch bands, together with the current limited knowledge on the dermal absorption of PFHxA, demonstrate the need for more comprehensive exposure studies of PFHxA.

Invitations to help moderate AskLemmy(@lemmy.world) (lemmy.world)
 

Hi Everyone,

We are looking for another person to help out moderating AskLemmy. Home instance does not matter, and Accounts will need to have a history of positive contribution to Lemmy.

DM or reach out via Matrix if interested.

What are some (not illegal) ideas to make corporations feel the pain when they allow our data to be stolen? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm getting a bit sick of large corporations a) demanding excess data as a condition of doing business with me, b) allowing it to be stolen, and c) giving zero fucks about it.

What are some things that us netizens can do to make our displeasure known.

Extra points for funny ideas.

Mod only Matrix room (lemmy.world)
 

Is there a mod and admin only matrix room that we can use to discuss modding? I'm aware of Lemmy.World General and Lemmy.World DEFENCE, but I don't think either of these is what I'm looking for.

TIL how to block all posts containing the words Trump or Vance. (lemmy.world)
 

I did this on Firefox, but I suspect it may work in other browers too.

  1. Install the Violentmonkey extension. Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey will also do.
  2. Install the Lemmy tools script.
  3. Browse to Lemmy
  4. Click on the screw driver icon on the LemmyTools bar that is now visible on the Lemmy page.
  5. Scroll down and check the box next to "Content Blocking"
  6. Add your block words in the "Add filters seperated by commas." box. I typed "Trump, Vance" Voila!

Lemmy post blocking (by key word) extension for Firefox (lemmy.world)

I'm wondering how hard it would be to write a firefox extension that blocked individual Lemmy posts based on the presence of words in a block list.

I'm pretty famiiar with Python, but have only done a little bit of hacking of JS, so was hoping the brains trust could provide some insight.
