Čištění zubů v praxi.
2h čisté práce čištění parodontálních chobotů u KAŽDÉHO ZUBU (hloubka mezi 8,5-15mm).
Mám z toho radost a doufám, že se všechno hezky chytne a stabilizuje.
in reply to brabitom

@brabitom u takto kritických případů bývá ta léčba poměrně úspěšná, protože opravdu zachraňujeme každý zub.
Ale pokud je ta parodontitida pouze mírná nebo mírně pokročilá, člověk si po DH myslí, že má vyhráno a stačí to. Tam to bývá tak 50 na 50 :/

So what have we learned? We learned that you can make even a suburban white kid decide not to help the cops because they think that cops can't be trusted and are not safe, just by mistreating them in one single incident, on one day.

Now imagine a Black kid 🙋🏿‍♂️ who's had hundreds of unsafe interactions with cops, since he was 12 years old.

As a kid, I had that growth spurt that made me 6 ft tall, and I've been mistreated ever since. And my experience is not unique.

Something else that my white friends in SF often don't realize when talking about crime, and how they say it seems like crime is up or down right now...

Most crime doesn't happen to rich white people. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Most crime happens to Black men. In particular, to poor Black men.

A lot of white folk only see Black folk as causes of crime. Not as it's most common victims, and ironically the least protected by the criminal justice system. 🙂🙃

Less than 5% of SF is Black. But ~45% of homicide victims.

5/5

in reply to mekka okereke

Suburban white women learn to mistrust cops the first time they need help against intimate partner abuse or stalking.

Hiding voter registration data or getting a new Social Security Number requires a police report. When 40% of cops admit in surveys to being perpetrators of the same crime, what are the chances they will make the report? Low.

If a cop is your abuser, hope you have the money to move to a different state or country. Fewer cops = fewer wife beaters on forces.



Another week, another letter telling me about a “privacy event” (aka data breach).

Here's a simple way to fix this problem: legislation that says every customer who's affected gets a check for $100. No more of this check-your-credit weak sauce - instead, a real cost to the business.

If you have data on 100 million customers, paying out $10 BILLION is a hell of an incentive to keep your fucking data protected.

Or better yet, maybe it's not worth $100 to store it in the first place…

So this is interesting. I'm doing an experiment here on my home AT&T internet connection. I'm attempting to ping what should be my public IPV6 address of my laptop, yet I'm getting no response. I'm also running a local teamtalk test server and cannot connect to it from the outside. I could be wrong, but I thought I'd be directly connected to the internet on IPV6 and thus wouldn't need to mess with port forwarding or any of that? How can I check to see if anything on the internet can connect with IPV6 to me? I'm doing this prior to doing my experiment with running a server directly using mobile hotspot. Figure I'll attempt to get stuff working on a traditional internet connection first.
in reply to Monty Icenogle

Ping from an outside instance such as an Aws vps or other vps that has ipv6.
in reply to Khronos

@khronos That's what I did. I disabled the firewall locally here then attempted the ping again and got a response finally, so now I need to recall in windows 11 how to allow inbound connections on this specific network. That way I can leave the firewall up and still do what I want. God I miss when windows was simpler and you could actually find settings you want to find.

When UX designers design their user interfaces, they should always include "vomiting child" in their user flows.

That is, they should take all their well designed and thoughtful user flows and insert "and suddenly the user's child vomits".

If the UX isn't robust enough to handle the user running off to deal with a vomiting child for twenty minutes, it is a bad user flow.

I was in SF for a few days this week. There are cars lining every street, owners paying pennies an hour if they're paying anything at all for the space and the state is tearing up homeless encampments as though the people in them have anywhere else to go or any way to get there. There are parking lots taking up half a city block all over downtown and an affordable housing crisis.

Subsidized housing and full employment programs for cars, subsidized theft and state-sanctioned cruelty for people.

I just realized what I hate about modern chat: it's not a small window on the screen anymore, it's *the whole screen*.

Discord (et al) is barely usable in a small window, whereas AOL Instant Messenger was *very* usable in a small window as you went about your browsing.

For me, smaller window = fewer distractions.

What's your favorite recent UPLIFTING sff read?

Doesn't mean it can't be sad or hard or painful but something that connected you to hope and imagination in the end...?

in reply to Mr. Completely

@mrcompletely I need to read more stuff that's not written by straight white guys, and SF is my favorite genre of fiction, so I'm going to check out The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt that book is at the heart of an old idea that's recently coalesced into its own trend, flavor or subgenre of SFF: uplifting found family stories. Groups of misfits who help each other get better and overcome struggles and form community along the way. It's become a very conscious and popular niche.

As noted in the thread I also recommend Nnedi Okorafor for anyone looking to branch out within modern SF.

Plenty of great diverse old school SFF too ofc

It's a shock to learn the news that the Living Blindfully podcast is coming to an end. It's been an incredible source of information and discussion that will be sadly and sorely missed in our community. We often say on Double Tap we need more voices out there talking from our unique perspectives so Jonathon's voice not being part of our community anymore will be a huge loss.

If anyone who follows me knows anyone who works at OpenAI, preferably in their app production teams, can you let them know that the latest release of the ChatGPT iOS app is completely broken with VoiceOver enabled? Specifically, the buttons to submit a text message and to switch to voice mode no longer work.

All attempts to contact them directly have failed. Thank you.

Is there an easy way to download books as text files through fanfiction.net? Or would I have to manually paste text into a text editor, chapter by chapter.


Someone who writes a 16-thousand-words-long rant about #GNOME titled, "I Don't Care for GNOME", listing every pet peeve they have with GNOME not being perfect or not adhering to their UI worldview, is someone with an incredible amount of free time and negative energy on their hands that could have been channelled to something else on a Saturday afternoon.
Or, y'know, they could have just continued to use KDE as they have been doing until now, and let GNOME users appreciate it on its own merits.
in reply to Emmanuele Bassi

@ebassi @diegoe
I felt the same when I saw this overly long post about Gnome. However, it's not one of these unfounded anti-Gnome rants. I think it's worth going through their points. While I disagree with many, some of the points really bother me, too.

E.g. in some apps I constantly search for the space in the top window bar, where I can perform a double-click to maximize the window. Worst is Firefox with many tabs open: There is virtually no space to click to maximize the window.

in reply to Monoka

@GerryT @diegoe there’s literally no reason to read that word vomit. Either things are filed as bugs in their relevant issue tracker, or it’s just venting for the sake of venting. And if they are filed as issues, then the choice is either for people complaining to work on them, or to get somebody else motivated to do so—and I can tell you that 10k words of screed do not motivate me in the least
in reply to Emmanuele Bassi

@GerryT @diegoe also: Firefox isn’t a GNOME project, and uses the same window UI for every platform, so what does that matter? Is it just for complaining about something? Client side decorations, because there is no more iconic duo than “Linux users” and “flogging long since dead horses”?
in reply to Emmanuele Bassi

@ebassi Well, my viewpoint as a user is different. If the paradigm (double-click on title bar to maximize windows) does not work for all frequently used applications, then it's the paradigm which is faulty. The result is bad user experience, anyhow. The systems of users will always rely on non-Gnome software (like Firefox,...), too.

@diegoe @nekohayo

in reply to Emmanuele Bassi

@ebassi @GerryT @diegoe I think you are incorrect. It is easy to maximize or hide Firefox on Win / Mac / KDE because they all have min /max buttons. People are used to a browser like Firefox having window controls. When Firefox is full of tabs, the double-clickable space in Gnome is very small.
in reply to Emmanuele Bassi

@ebassi I understand this. @nekohayo usually creates detailed bug reports, sometimes illustrated with figures/images. This is motivating.

But the write-up here is not motivating.

@diegoe




Well… looks like the #Terminal on the #Mac is not accessible to run with Voice over, any #Blind mac users out there know a good solution for me to be able to run the terminal on the mac? I want to install homebrew and run Open SCAD on the terminal if at all possible.
in reply to LeonianUniverse

If you can manage to install Tdsr on your mac you should be able to read the terminal.


Here is an interesting question for my Internet networking nerds. Is it at all possible to run any kind of server directly using a mobile hotspot connection, without requiring a VPN? For example, if I had a laptop connected to my phone, and I wanted to run a server off that laptop that could be reached by anyone on the Internet, provided they knew my IPV6 address, would this be possible, or do all mobile providers block any and all inbound connections? I'm just curious about this, since in my case my mobile connection has slightly better bandwidth than my home Internet connection. I'm not actually planning on doing this, I'm just curious if it's feasible and possible to do this. I do have all three major mobile carriers, so it might be fun to test this at some point.
in reply to Monty Icenogle

Mobile networks don't lend themselves to make it easy to run servers as you are in a highly shared environment.
It is porbably against their TOS to do so. At this time a vpn is the best way to go about this. Even running torrents for downloading isn't all that easy.
A main reason for this is that when you go to the internet your ipv4 address changes quite frequently.

Letztes Jahr war ich schon angesprochen worden. Und da war es schon echt beeindruckend, was die vornehmlich jungen Menschen auf die Beine stellen.
