  • Texas resident used Apple AirTags to discover plastics taken to Houston recycling centers aren't being recycled

    Jump

  • Exactly the reason I got a second hand iPhone coming from Android. All my androids would suddenly get a stroke after three years at best. My old boss would hold a funeral for his 10 year old iPhone which worked great but shattered after a bad drop.

  • Anon takes the pink pill

    Jump

  • Oh yes, I’m completely aware. I’m a pharmacist with allergies. I always try to talk my patients out of first-gen antihistamines. Bilastine is my go to these days for myself. Zyrtec and generics as OTCs.

  • Anon takes the pink pill

    Jump

  • Eh one every now and then is fine, I take it for motion sickness when going on long car rides. Half a pill is enough. Then again, taking enough to get nightshade-like poisoning is really not recommended.

  • What isn't illegal but should be?

    Jump

  • It’s generally legal and heavily subsidised. See also animal agriculture.

  • Bipolar Community Weekly Checkin - June 9-16: How Are You Doing?

    Jump

  • After quitting my meds last year I got progressively worse due to work stress. Two months ago I almost threw them out but decided to give them another go. I was put on a low dose and improved so much, I didn’t need to add/increase anything. Now I just quit my old job and found an objectively better one in the same field and location. One week in so far and I’m loving it! Stress - gone!

  • EU states signing declaration committing to legal equality, protection, national strategies and work for social acceptance of LGBTIQ people

    Jump

  • Bulgaria: No need to sign anything, it’s already done. Everyone has the equal right to marry the opposite sex, and nobody can change (de facto) their legal gender. Everyone is already accepting of the LGBT people, as long as they don’t show it publicly.

    Jokes aside, outside of Sofia the public opinion is that there are matters much more important than that. Homophobia is also widespread so it’s a political suicide to ratify something like this. The Istanbul convention was a huge “scandal” for just mentioning that it applies to trans women as well. There was a huge disinformation campaign and it worked. We ratified it anyways because it was integrated into an EU directive so yay?

  • Ok бuddy

    Jump

  • You get used to it. You just write the sound, sh, j, ya(often weitten as q), ch, yu. ь we barely use unless when you write what you would spell as ë in Russian, we don’t use that letter at all! We use a lot of ъ (sounds like uuhh). It’s usually spelled as y or a.

    It’s usually more annoying to switch keyboards all the time, but typing in Latin script feels wrong and I feel like it changes my “written voice”.

  • Ok бuddy

    Jump

  • Country standards from the typewriter era. In Bulgaria we have a different layout from the Russian one, using the same Cyrillic letters (stuff like э and ы that we don’t use) but most people use the “phonetic” keyboard which is the one you describe. Also in casual conversations a lot of people don’t even bother to use Cyrillic and go with latin instead even if it’s not official or standardised in any way.

  • Study Uncovers Serious Side Effects From Common Dementia Drugs

    Jump

  • But you can get progressively worse dementia faster from these meds if the other side effects don’t get you. And the meds to counteract the other side effects they give you. Fun stuff the anticholinergic effects.

  • Deleted

    How the hell do I make Google on Firefox (desktop and mobile) show "View image" like it used to??

    Jump

  • I second this. Either ddg has come a long way with sesrch results or Google enshittified theirs to oblivion. Maybe it's both. I only use Google search for really obscure stuff that ddg has a hard time fetching. And more often than not Google fails as well.

    WIP Wednesday!

  • Facebook now wants to write your posts for you with AI.

    Jump

  • How do you even curate a fb feed. When I tried that I got an algorithm that shoved "recommended" posts down my throat that got worse the further down I scrolled. Not to mention looking for posts older than a day is a pain because they're not chronological. AND the cherry on top is when you finally reach the place where that post might be and the page just decides to reload. Awful, awful user experience.

  • You Can Now Follow President Biden on the Fediverse

    Jump

  • Few places have secure DMs.

  • French press method

    Jump

  • I make a 12 minute steep with 15g/300g coffee:water ratio. A bit coarser grind than what I'd use for pour over. I (accidentally) found out I like it the most.

  • I made a test dungeon with the flotater block from the new snapshot!

    Jump

  • This is giving me Half-Life vibes.

  • more on intellectual property...

    Jump

  • Oh, the patent expired? No problem, we'll just methylate the structure, see that it makes no difference and put it out on the market as a new drug. Or maybe take the active part of a racemic mixture and half the dosage. Same drug double the patent. Semisynthetic insulin is even worse in that regard.

  • Poland's president vetoes law on free access to morning-after pill for ages 15 and above

    Jump

  • Duda is childspeak for vagina in my language. Appropriate.

  • Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk facing pressure as study finds $1,000 appetite suppressant can be made for just $5

    Jump

  • Our insurance system IS the government program. The government negotiates prices with the manufacturer. This is also the reason we have drug shortages. Cheaper drugs get re-exported legally by third parties to countries with higher prices. Abbvie straight up made a system where their new drugs would be delivered personally to the individual patient via a personal code to circumvent what happened to Humira.

    Tresiba, Insulatard, Actrapid and a couple of other insulins, as well as antibiotics like Augmentin (which is in short supply to begin with) also suffered from re-export until the government issued a temporary ban.

    The wholesale companies' response? Stockpile and wait for the ban to expire.

  • Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk facing pressure as study finds $1,000 appetite suppressant can be made for just $5

    Jump

  • 1000$? It costs 80$ here. Insurance covers the 1mg injection completely. Drug prices on the US market are inflated as hell. Also it can be made for 5 bucks but the decades of research and billions poured into said research and testing is what raises the price.

    Regardless corporate greed is corporate greed and big pharma is into some really shady stuff. Especially when we get to biologicals.

  • Looks like Google is making life more difficult for deGooglers

    Jump

  • I love FDroid but no way in hell is my banking app going open source and uploading there. I can use the website instead of the app but I doubt that's the case for everyone.
