I would be good with that too!

I’m not sure what the return on investment from tourism is like, but I do look forward to the event in the summer. Even when I don’t attend, there’s a nice vibe to it all 😄

Oh 😦

Fixed, sorry about that

I think it means that people will be able to watch the soccer matches for free on the big TVs in the stadium. Not really something that I’d want to do, but maybe some people will enjoy it.

Personally, I’d prefer to watch sports events at home or at smaller venues like local community centres

It might be this bit

On top of that, backup and restore functionality is now fully supported in the web interface. Users can restore database backups directly from the Immich UI, either through the administration maintenance page or during onboarding of a new instance.

Here is the report: https://digitallibrary.cma.ca/media/Digital_Library_PDF/2026%20Losing%20doctors%20to%20desk%20work%20EN.pdf

See “Appendix B: Provincial/territorial estimates of physician administrative burden and full-time equivalent gain” on page 37.

For BC specifically, there was this recent article:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-doctors-cut-digital-red-tape-slowing-care-9.7062339?cmp=rss

Family doctors in B.C. are calling on the province to cut digital red tape, saying outdated systems and unnecessary paperwork are slowing patient care and increasing wait times.

It comes as a new national study shows doctors across the province are spending three million hours per year handling administrative work.

The latest report, released by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and the Canadian Medical Association, released as part of the Red Tape Awareness Week, found that doctors in B.C. spend nearly 10 hours a week on administrative work.

It estimates that eliminating unnecessary paperwork in B.C. could free up an equivalent of more than 1,400 full-time doctors.

I was already on Windows 11 when I tried it, but I do see some mods labelled for Windows 10 and earlier versions. That makes me think it also supports Windows 10

I didn’t know about this, what did they do?

:(

Thank you for writing that out, your explanation was very helpful.

This is an updated recommendation for how to treat headaches in the emergency department, and one of the treatments it’s replacing is opioids.

Here is more from the article:

The update reviewed 26 studies from the past nine years that met the criteria involving migraines and visits to emergency departments to bring the treatment recommendations up to date.

“This update marks a major change in emergency department migraine care and implementing these treatments can improve patient outcomes and reduce reliance on opioids,” said study co-lead Dr. Jennifer Robblee, a neurologist and migraine and headache disorders specialist at Barrow Neurological Institute

Another user added a first person perspective, which explains it a lot better than I could.

Since doctors/staff communicate to each other in a shorthand, and it would be very difficult to make all that internal communication written in an accessible way. We would likely need a separate team of people transcribing and adding context to all the notes.

What might be a good first step is freeing up healthcare capacity to respond to patient’s inquiries. After that, if we can set up some way of communicating the available resources to the person who FOI’s the medical records, they can get in touch if they have questions.

Thank you for sharing the story. Hope you both find strength and clarity, regardless of what the future holds.

Take care of yourself as well!

I appreciate the comment, these are important points that I did not include in the post and I didn’t mean to imply otherwise when posting this.

I thought this article was worth sharing because some people promoting these products still say/imply that they can be used temporarily. Some people may start treatment without fully understanding the details:

Some studies have found that about half of people who start taking a GLP-1 drug for weight loss stop taking it within a year—for various reasons—and many people think they can stop taking anti-obesity drugs once they’ve reached a desired weight, Oczypok and Anderson write. But that’s not in line with the data.

This part was also interesting. If there IS a way to stop taking the drugs after a while, or safer ways to wean patients off the drugs if they can no longer continue, then that is worth investigating:

Data gaps and potential off-ramps

On the other hand, there were 54 participants of the 308 (17.5 percent) who didn’t regain a significant amount of weight (less than 25 percent.) This group saw some of their health metrics worsen on withdrawal of the drug, but not all—blood pressure increased a bit, but cholesterol didn’t go up significantly overall. About a dozen participants (4 percent of the 308) continued to lose weight after stopping the drug.

The researchers couldn’t figure out why these 54 participants fared so well; there were “no apparent differences” in demographic or clinical characteristics, they reported. It’s clear the topic requires further study.

Oczypok and Anderson highlight that the study involved an abrupt withdrawal from the drug. In contrast, many patients may be interested in slowly weaning off the drugs, stepping down dosage levels over time. So far, data on this strategy and the protocols to pull it off have little data behind them. It also might not be an option for patients who abruptly lose access to or insurance coverage for the drugs. Other strategies for weaning off the drugs could involve ramping up physical activity or calorie restriction in anticipation of dropping the drugs, the experts note.

In addition to more data on potential GLP-1 off-ramps, the pair calls for more data on the effects of weight fluctuations from people going on and off the treatment. At least one study has found that the regained weight after intentional weight loss may end up being proportionally higher in fat mass, which could be harmful.

For now, Oczypok and Anderson say doctors should be cautious about talking with patients about these drugs and what the future could hold. “These results add to the body of evidence that clinicians and patients should approach starting [anti-obesity medications] as long-term therapies, just as they would medications for other chronic diseases.”

That’s fair, your words are valid as well.

I don’t think this comic is necessarily heartwarming or wholesome. It’s a short story that shares details from the author’s life. I can see how it can give hope to some while making others feel worse.

I’m sorry for your loss

This should be the post where they are tracking progress

Maybe sometime next year?

There were a handful of times when I saw students using airdrop to send files in school, but email / google drive was the most common way to do it.

The choice to make Airdrop an Apple-only feature might have hurt adoption

I think it’s the later

In this context, many public commentators argue these men are just rebranding themselves as self-aware, feminist-adjacent and “not like other guys” to seek better dating opportunities.

I think there may be a misunderstanding, or multiple interpretations, of what ‘toxic masculinity’ refers to.

In the contexts where I’ve heard it, the term wasn’t being used to say that masculinity is toxic /that it should look a certain way / that this is something that’s up to men to change. Rather, it refers to the subset of toxic behaviour that is associated with ‘masculinity’, as a way of organizing discussion. The term isn’t meant to ignore or minimize other types of toxic behaviour, it’s there when referring to any patterns or solutions that might be in common for that subset of toxicity.

For example, the term “men’s mental health” organizes discussion around mental health challenges that men deal with. It doesn’t mean that only men deal with mental health issues, nor does it mean that men’s mental health issues are more important to deal with than those of other groups.

If society truly wants progress, we should stop policing how masculinity looks and start holding all people accountable for toxic actions, not their gender.

Isn’t the first part exactly what ‘toxic masculinity’ discussions are about, that rigid and harmful gender expectations harm everyone, regardless of where it comes from (men or otherwise)?

As for the second part, I don’t think anyone is saying otherwise. We SHOULD hold everyone accountable for toxic actions.

I’ve edited the post title to make it more clear that it’s the title from the video
