Closest I can think of might be the !buyitforlife@slrpnk.net !buyitforlife@sh.itjust.works communities
Thank you! This answers most of my questions
The ones you never set up, did you ever interact with them in any way? Or did they mistakenly mix your data with someone else's (which might even be a good thing tbh)
I didn't like the cost section, because it felt simplistic. The actual procedure might be "cheaper", but it doesn't take into account the long term costs if something goes wrong with the "cheaper" option. Living liver donation is different from say a kidney, you're taking a part of someone else's liver.
"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.
I worry people are going to see those numbers and run with them, even though there's more to consider than that. Financial calculations in medicine are always difficult, and it feels dirty no matter what
I was reading through the article and I think the policy in question is this
Transplant guidelines in Ontario and much of Canada require patients with ALD to first qualify for a deceased donor liver. If they don't meet that criteria, they aren't considered for a living liver transplant, even if one is available.
Also this
"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.
As for why that is, I'm not familiar. I've asked someone else and I'll edit in more if I learn more
I cleared it before I had a chance to look through properly. There should be a menu option when you look at the list
Combining this mobility with the fungi’s ability to sense chemical and biological signals could prove useful in a range of applications, according to the researchers.
“By growing mycelium into the electronics of a robot, we were able to allow the biohybrid machine to sense and respond to the environment,” said Rob Shepherd, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell.
Maybe someday my houseplant could get up for a drink of water in the middle of the night.
Assuming this tech isn't limited to mushrooms
Sounds like a common issue then

I don't like when it does that
It does help set a good precedent. When companies try to do the same thing, further hurting smaller artists, we can point to this case
1. The platform needs an incentive to get rid of bots.
Bots on Reddit pump out an advertiser friendly firehose of "content" that they can pretend is real to their investors, while keeping people scrolling longer. On Fediverse platforms there isn't a need for profit or growth. Low quality spam just becomes added server load we need to pay for.
I've mentioned it before, but we ban bots very fast here. People report them fast and we remove them fast. Searching the same scam link on Reddit brought up accounts that have been posting the same garbage for months.
Twitter and Reddit benefit from bot activity, and don't have an incentive to stop it.
2. We need tools to detect the bots so we can remove them.
Public vote counts should help a lot towards catching manipulation on the fediverse. Any action that can affect visibility (upvotes and comments) can be pulled by researchers through federation to study/catch inorganic behavior.
Since the platforms are open source, instances could even set up tools that look for patterns locally, before it gets out.
It'll be an arm's race, but it wouldn't be impossible.

Educational apps for children: What parents and educators should look for and ignore
(theconversation.com)
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/28283915
The article doesn't make any recommendations, but rather what to look for /avoid.
Who the authors are:
Emma Liptrot; PhD student, Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology, McGill University
Adam Kenneth Dubé; Associate Professor of Learning Sciences, Faculty of Education, McGill University
Relevant sections:
What to ignore
- User ratings & reviews:
Popular EduApps in Apple’s and Google’s app stores typically have very positive ratings (above four stars). Yet, experts still raise concerns about their quality and expert-approved apps do not necessarily receive the highest star ratings. Written reviews are rarely more informative. Research shows most reviews simply praise apps rather than explaining specific features. [...]
- Apple or Google rankings
Educators and parents may visit an app store’s “top charts” lists to find EduApps. Yet, how Apple’s and Google’s algorithms determine which apps “top the charts” is unclear. [...]
- Recommendations from app review websites
Educators and parents might look to external app review websites like Common Sense Media for recommendations. But research shows many of the apps recommended by these websites still need substantial improvement [...]
What to look for
- Curriculum: What apps teach
At the bare minimum, EduApps must include content that is covered in an established learning program. Yet, many EduApps are what researchers call “educational misfits” because they are only weakly related to education, if at all. Look for apps that clearly state which curriculum their content is based on (for example, a particular provincial curriculum, a supplemental curriculum for learning an Indigenous language) or detail the content (suitable for grades 1–3 math). Don’t bother with an app that doesn’t tell you what it covers.
- Learning theory: How apps teach
[...] Look for apps that describe how they teach. Choose ones using approaches that align with your needs.
- Scaffolding: How apps support learning
EduApps should include supports that help children build their understanding and accomplish learning goals. These supports (called scaffolding) can include hints or instructions when children get stuck and breaking down complex tasks into smaller chunks or adapting difficulty to match children’s abilities. [...]
- Feedback: How apps correct learning
If we want children to learn from their mistakes, feedback is essential. Look for apps that give children informative feedback so they know where they went wrong and why.
- Educational expertise: Who made the app
Many app developers are not education experts, and their priorities may not align with those of educators and parents. [...]
