The collapse of a startup leaves implanted medical devices in > 700 people
The unavailability of the proprietary SW needed to recalibrate the devices and maintain its effectiveness, and the draining of batteries, will leave them without treatment and with HW implanted in their bodies
They have to hack their own implants
And it is not an isolated case but a trend

Heyo! Glad to be a part of Socel now. #introduction..
I draw #PixelArt pics, and sometimes #LowPoly props or scenes, or something inbetween. Guess it's #gameart although I rarely think about it like that.
Also I work on a small tool to help with that called #pribambase. And a batch of other projects at various stages of when-it's-done.
Let's get along ( ̄▽ ̄* )ゞ
Day 10: sharing one of my earlier Generative Art pieces, where I was exploring the branching patterns of neurons.

Anyone have good #3dprinter recommendations? I'm not looking to spend too much on it. I suspect I won't use it very much, and I'll mostly use it for fabricating little disposable toys for my kids, and parts for small "maker" projects.
Has to work well with linux as I don't have any other kind of computer.
@lritter 😆 how much of this is actually generated by openai's chat bot? @BigTheDave
@lawyerjsd @mekkaokereke @lewriley @dave @Bam @thetitanborn Harassment is very difficult to track on large instances because most of the time it's done in private messages and the rest are a flood of micro aggressions just subtle enough not to appear racist to moderators.
And local timelines on large instances go so fast that people can never notice that stuff. The only people who notice are the folks experiencing it, and the attackers.
So by the time you document one attack enough to get a single person banned, other 30 are still harassing you. It's an uphill battle and eventually you give up and move to another server or quit mastodon altogether.
So BIPOC folks would need to organize to barely counter this shit, but how to organize when the very tool you need to organize is becoming the tool that harassers use against you?
So, you got what, 10, 20 mods on a server that has over 200,000 users?
A tiny moderation team on a server that large is not gonna do shit.

@mtomczak frozen peaches?
sorts Tusky sorts the language list by don't arcane pattern rather than just a straight alphabetical with a "recently used" section (which is really the only thing that makes sense)
I might actually try to fix this one
weirdly, Tusky still doesn't display the language tag for a post anywhere.
replying keeps the language tag of your previous post, apparently.
@izaya not buying new devices?

Wow Sunday mornings in this feed are so nice, all these nature photos are so restorative and something I'm coming to look forward to each week.
When I see posts about "you're a failure and part of the problem if you turn away from politics" or whatever...look. I have a high-responsibility job, and I'm also a shop steward and single mom. I carry a LOT, not just for myself but for others. Every day.
I deserve some quiet moments of beauty to help me keep going.
So do you. Pace yourself. <3
