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).

They’re trying to milk our subsidies.

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.

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

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

Name checks out

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.

Shot themselves in the foot eh

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.

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.

Lol the skills to make Voyager do not necessarily equal the skills to work on Lemmy fundamentals, and it’s also not their responsibility to fix Lemmy to begin with.

Lemmy ought to also be improving on its own given that ActivityPub is FOSS and interested people like OP should actually do something about contributing to.

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