Came across this today, and it looks like the kind of new tech that could make smart prosthetics more comfortable / better.

That’s cool!

If you feel so inclined you should submit that as a post!

I met a medically retired marine back when I was in school that changed my view on this. His superior insisted on his group walking as much as possible with their packs, but instead of it just being extra exercise he wound up having to get an amputation after all of the stress on his legs lead to an issue with the arteries or veins. At a certain point, extra punishment isn’t beneficial, and a mechanism to manage it would be useful.

Just learned about this, made editing speed limits a lot easier!

I didn’t know about map complete, thanks!

That makes sense to me. Going to space is going to space; astronauts go to space.

It’s been a long time since I last tried shotcut. Just loaded it up to try following along with the video, and it looks way more user friendly and capable! Thanks for sharing the video!

I’ve been interested in peertube for a while. That’s good to know, thanks!

Came across this over on Mastodon, seemed like a good fit for this community.

Ramps are assistive technology, right?

I’m modelling a pencil holder version of the star projector at the planetarium I volunteer for.

It looks pretty bulky for now, but seems like a promising advancement.

The book “Talking to Strangers” by Malcolm Gladwell does an excellent job of explaining how access to convenient means of suicide increase rates, which contradicts the common argument that suicidal people will find other means to die if guns are less accessible. It turns out suicidal behavior is often situation and time specific, and removing tools for self harm means better chances of improvement.

I am not an AI advocate. But this will be cool if implemented well.

There are two common ways to refer to disabled individuals: identity-first language (“disabled person”) and person-first language (“person with a disability”). Both of these forms of language are fine to use, but this article will use identity-first language. Identity-first language is a growing preference among Disabled people, especially people who engage in anti-ableist and disability justice work.

This was surprising to me. During some of my volunteer work I thought I was being “good” by using the person-first language (e.g. “My team is 3D printing AT for use by people living with disabilities.”).

Thank you for the tips.

I’m a moderator on the community where I encountered the spambot account, and already banned it there. My question is wondering how I can report the user upstream to the instance admins. I’m not very familiar with Lemmy, I see that there’s a modlog, so perhaps the SDF admins would need to monitor it and act based on the user getting banned from one of their communities?

The Fordyce Bath House. These buildings were wooden shacks in the 1800s, and were replaced with the opulent resort buildings after a fire razed the street.

One of the hot spring sources. In a fountain outside you can touch the water, and it is HOT!

The Hubbard Tub Room. Complete with an elevator next door.
