Woman who was denied a liver transplant, after review highlighted alcohol use, has died in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 69 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

If you keep reading it gives a reason why this is a requirement. Now whether you agree with the doctors or not is up to you but there is at least a reason for this.

But doctors say that people with severe liver disease from alcohol use may need more than just a partial living liver donation to thrive.

"The sicker someone is, the more they benefit from getting an entire liver from a deceased donor, as opposed to part of the liver from a living donor," said Dr. Saumya Jayakumar, a liver specialist in Edmonton and an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Alberta.

"On the off chance their (living) liver doesn't work, they urgently get listed for a deceased donor," said Jayakumar. "We need to make sure that everyone who is a candidate for a living donor is also a candidate for a donor graft as well, " she added.

From this, the reasoning appear to be this: there is a high risk that the living liver transplant will not take. In this case the patient may be at risk of dying instantly and thus need another liver transplant. Since the candidate doesn't not qualify for this other transplant, in the case where the transplant does not take, the patient will die instantly. This is in contrast with the patient being terminally ill however given time to live out the remainder of their life.

How do you know it tastes like piss if you've never tasted piss before?

Better piss in a cup and taste it to make sure we get a nice baseline.

Im using Summit for Lemmy (I'm also the dev). It allows you to take "advanced" screenshots within the app, choosing which comments to include and more.

[Release][v1.38.0] Offline support (lemmy.world)
 

This release adds the option to offline a post feed, giving you the freedom to browse while offline. The use case here is if you know ahead of time you are going to be offline you can download a feed beforehand and read it later.

This release also implements several user requests.

Full changelog

  • When opening a link to a post on a different instance, added a banner to explaining the instance mismatch and also have an option to switch instances. Also added a loading spinner when switching instances in this way.
  • Added a "Make available offline" button to make a feed available offline.
  • Changed bookmark button to reflect the current state. Eg. if the post is already bookmarked then the bookmark icon is filled.

1 year anniversary (lemmy.world)
 

Hello everyone. I just wanted to announce that it's been over a year since I started working on Summit (I started on June 13th, 2023). This is going to be a quick post as I am still busy with real life stuff but I wanted to commemorate this event.

I wanted to thank the community for the support and also for all of the feature requests, bug reports and the translations. The app has grown tremendously in just a year and I'm excited for the projects planned this year.

Thanks everyone.

[WIP][v1.38.0] Offline support (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hello! I haven't posted in a while so I wanted to give a quick update on what is going on with the app.

The next feature I'm working on is quite large. Its offline support which aims to make the app usable offline... to a degree. This feature is going to be made up of several different parts including features to download certain content in advance and have the app respond to network changes.

In addition to this feature I am also working on some physical projects since it is summer where I am. I had a lot of yard work planned for this year so I'm also spending a lot of my free time with that. Due to this and the size of the next update, the next update will likely take a little longer.

Changes so far:

  • Changed bookmark button to reflect the current state. Eg. if the post is already bookmarked then the bookmark icon is filled.
  • When opening a link to a post on a different instance, added a banner to explaining the instance mismatch and also have an option to switch instances. Also added a loading spinner when switching instances in this way.
  • Added a "Make available offline" button to make a feed available offline.

[Release][v1.37.2] Prefetch posts & community icons (lemmy.world)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
0 comments fedilink
 

This is a relatively small release. This release adds posts prefetching. This should make loading more posts in the post feed feel faster. This is a crucial change needed to implement offline mode.

This release also adds community icons in both the post feed and the post screen.

Both of these changes are configurable so you can disable one or both if it's not to your liking.

Full changelog

  • Added prefetching to the post feed. This should make loading more items in the post feed happen instantly as long as there is a good internet connection.
  • Added support for community icons in the post feed.
  • Added a setting to enable/disable post feed prefetching. The default is on.
  • Added a setting to enable/disable community icons in the post feed. The default is on.
  • Change post view to show the community icon if the post list also shows the community icon.
  • Fixed a bug where tapping in certain areas of the post will not register the tap.

Update

Made a couple versioning mistakes so this will be released as v1.37.2 instead.

Update

I submitted the release but changes are in review still. It's been in review for over 5 hours so it feels like it's going to take a while before it's released to the play store.

Should community icons be on by default in the next release? (lemmy.world)
 

Please upvote my comment below if you want community icons to be on by default. Down vote it if you prefer having them off by default.

Here are some screen shots of what the icons would look like for some layouts:

[WIP][v1.37.0] No title again (lemmy.world)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
0 comments fedilink
 

The next big feature on the menu is "Offline mode". This feature is difficult to tackle so I'm going to be implementing some other features that should make it easier.

The first is pre-fetching. Prefetching can also improve the base user experience so I will be looking at possible things that can be pre-fetched.

Changes so far:

  • Added prefetching to the post feed. This should make loading more items in the post feed happen instantly as long as there is a good internet connection.
  • Added support for community icons in the post feed.
  • Added a setting to enable/disable post feed prefetching. The default is on.
  • Added a setting to enable/disable community icons in the post feed. The default is on.
  • Change post view to show the community icon if the post list also shows the community icon.
  • Fixed a bug where tapping in certain areas of the post will not register the tap.

Update

I'm changing the default on community icons to "on" since a good portion of you want it on by default. This will be configurable on a per-layout basis so you can always turn it off.
