Well said

I feel like this is all the more reason why these prosecution teams need to be spread over several people

I'm curious how this might work, or at least be different from what they currently do. You would still need someone in charge to lead the project, and so any controversies with that person can still cause issues.

*for internal communication

The EU Commission is cracking down harder on digital espionage. It has instructed its highest-ranking officials to immediately dissolve a central Signal group for internal communication. According to Politico, department heads and their deputies are primarily affected by this measure. The order stems from fears that the chat group may have become the target of targeted cyberattacks.

I assume it is to prevent this mess

They almost always get removed or deleted eventually, but sometimes they'll get upvoted for a few hours until an eagle eyed user spots evidence and calls it out.

It's also not OPs fault most of the time. It's hard to spot them

Welcome!

What’s the best way to contact moderators of a community (I almost said sub).

Right now the best way would be to message one of the moderators. You can see a list of moderators in the sidebar. If it looks like none of the moderators are active (ex. no recent activity in the past few weeks or months), you would be better off reaching out to the admins.

What community are you looking to contact the mods of? Maybe I can help

Also, can someone explain all the different instances of Lemmy?

Lemmy is a part of a decentralized network, similar to email. With email, you can make an account with one provider (ex. gmail.com) and then email someone on another provider (ex. yahoo mail).

In this case, you made an account on the lemmy.ca instance. You can create posts, upvote/downvote, comment etc, as if everyone was on one website. You can't use your username and password to log in on another instance, and that's important because your login details are only given to the one organization you trusted enough to make an account with.

I would recommend looking at these two pages from our guides. They have diagrams and infographics, and we've heard feedback that they are helpful :)

• https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started
• https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview

I’m on Lemmy.ca but with a few clicks on something I ended up on Lemmyworld and didn’t have an account. help?

I suspect you clicked on a link to another instance. When people comment a link, some apps can recognize that it's a link to a Lemmy post and redirect you to the correct page on lemmy.ca, but others (ex. using the website in a browser) might not. It's one of those things that isn't handled that well right now, and is being worked on.

For example, the following links both go to this current post that we are currently commenting on. You and I would use the lemmy.ca version, while people with accounts on lemmy.world would use the other one:

• https://lemmy.ca/post/59551095
• https://lemmy.world/post/42408677

Music don't contain watermarks that ruin the experience in the work itself.

They do, and I find it a lot more obnoxious than a label in the borders on an image

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Producer_tag

It's available in text attribution/ metadata base.

When I download a song, the file comes with the metadata. When I download an image, the creator information is not there. When images are shared, it's very often the image alone and not a link to the page with the image.

Also artists have been leaving a signature on their art for as long as we've had art. All people are asking is that you share the art as it was created instead of modifying each piece before you share it. By doing that, you're deciding for other people what is best.

This honestly feels like a good opportunity for you to make a separate community and post your edits there so that the people who prefer that format can subscribe to it.

Thank you!

The benefit is that the other microblogging platforms might also implement or improve threadiverse support if this goes well. We could get more activity and users from the people who are only on a microblogging platform

Purple and teal are in the diagram but missing from the legend, while red is in the legend but not in the diagram. The cable management entry in the legend is pointless.

The airflow portion is odd, since the heat should be extracted from higher up?

The more they do all of the above, the more incentive that companies will have to support Linux desktop

Did you try Calibre Web or Calibre Web Automated

Maybe CWA is what you're looking for?

So they don't explicitly mention "chronic" Lyme disease in the video, and I couldn't find any other articles from looking up the names mentioned, but it does sound like that's what is being talked about here.

What I would be curious about is if these patients got the antibody test. If they didn't, that seems like a relatively easy policy fix. Bacteria can spread to other countries and go undetected, and the test isn't that invasive compared to the peace of mind it would give patients. Same

However if they did get the test and it came back negative, then it gets more complicated. Doctors don't want to put someone on treatment for something that can't be detected. Every medication has side effects and you would end up harming someone without evidence of a benefit. Where it gets messy is when people go for "diagnosis" or "treatment" abroad.

I did actually find this from last October

 Overview

The Australian Government appreciates the opportunity to respond to the Senate
Community Affairs References Committee list of recommendations on the Access to
diagnosis and treatment for people in Australia with tick-borne diseases. The Government
thanks the Committee and the various stakeholders for their valuable and thoughtful input
to the Inquiry.
The Government acknowledges the concerns of patients who are facing issues accessing
diagnosis and treatment with tick-borne illnesses. In early 2013, the Department of Health,
Disability and Ageing began engaging with patients, medical practitioners, and advocacy
groups to discuss concerns about Lyme disease. In 2016, the department engaged and
addressed the Senate Inquiry recommendations into Growing evidence of an emerging tick-
borne disease that causes a Lyme-like illness (2016 Inquiry) through a range of measures
such as public education materials, research and guidance for medical practitioners. As a
result, the department has gained a deeper appreciation and growing concern for those
Australians experiencing issues relating to tick-borne diseases.
This response addresses the specific recommendations raised in the current Senate
Committee's Report. The Government remains open-minded about the cause of the various
complexes which manifest as a range of chronic debilitating symptoms. The best outcome
for patients and health practitioners is to not draw conclusions based on poor levels of
evidence, but to consider each patient thoroughly in a multidisciplinary medical approach
that makes the best use of clinical expertise and available diagnostic skills and technology.
The Government remains engaged with the patient and medical community to continue to
find, share and understand the evidence associated with tick-borne diseases. The
Government hopes its continued work with clinical medicine and research communities will
result in answers and relief for patients and their families

Do you have an article about the case you're talking about?

There is a difference between Lyme disease and chronic Lyme disease. My guess is that this case has something to do with that difference.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease

Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is a tick-borne disease caused by species of Borrelia bacteria, transmitted by blood-feeding ticks in the genus Ixodes.[4][9][10] It is the most common disease spread by ticks in the Northern Hemisphere.[11][8] Infections are most common in the spring and early summer.[4] Infection is treatable with antibiotics. Most treated patients experience a full recovery. For some patients recovery may not be immediate or complete, resulting in long-term effects.[12] Early detection and prompt treatment are associated with more favorable outcomes.[13]

Diagnosis is based on a combination of symptoms, history of tick exposure, and possibly testing for specific antibodies in the blood

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_Lyme_disease

Despite numerous studies, there is no evidence that symptoms associated with CLD are caused by any persistent infection.[4] The symptoms attributed to chronic Lyme are in many cases likely due to fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome.[5][6] Fibromyalgia can be triggered by an infection, and antibiotics are not a safe or effective treatment for post-infectious fibromyalgia.[7] Fatigue, joint and muscle pain are also experienced by a minority of people following antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease.[3]

A number of alternative health products are promoted for chronic Lyme disease,[8] of which possibly the most controversial and harmful is long-term antibiotic therapy, particularly intravenous antibiotics.[9][10] Recognised authorities advise against long-term antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease, even where some symptoms persist post-treatment.[11][12][13]

In the United States, after disciplinary proceedings by state medical licensing boards, a subculture of "Lyme literate" physicians has successfully lobbied for specific legal protections, exempting them from the standard of care and science-based treatment guidelines. Such legislation has been criticised as an example of "legislative alchemy", the process whereby pseudomedicine is legislated into practice.[14][15][16] Some doctors view the promotion of chronic Lyme disease as an example of health fraud.[17]

Chronic Lyme disease is distinct from untreated late-stage Lyme disease, which can cause arthritis, peripheral neuropathy and/or encephalomyelitis. Chronic Lyme disease is also distinct from post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) when symptoms linger after standard antibiotic treatments.[18][19] PTLDS is estimated to occur in less than 5% of people who had Lyme disease and were treated.[20] In contrast to these recognized medical conditions, the promotion of chronic Lyme disease has been accused of being health fraud.[17] In many cases there is no objective evidence that people who believe they have chronic Lyme have ever been infected with Lyme disease: standard diagnostic tests for infection are often negative.[2][21]
