It's working for me, and so maybe it came back?

I believe Waymo has a better set of sensors (Lidar + Radar+ Cameras instead of just cameras), more processing power, and more research / time / resources spent on it compared to Tesla.

So it's not that we aren't ready for self driving taxis, but rather about which cars are ready to provide that service

So, you’ve got a receding hairline in 2025. You could visit a dermatologist, sure, or you could try a new crop of websites that will deliver your choice of drugs on demand after a video call with a telehealth physician. There’s Rogaine and products from popular companies like Hims, or if you have an appetite for the experimental, you might find yourself at Anagen.

Anagen works a lot like Hims—some of its physicians have even worked there, according to their LinkedIn profiles and the Hims website—but take a closer look at the drugs on offer and you’ll start to notice the difference. Its Growth Maxi formula, which sells for $49.99 per month, contains Finasteride and Minoxidil; two drugs that are in Hims’ hair regrowth products. But it also contains Liothyronine, a thyroid medication also known as T3 that the Mayo Clinic warns may temporarily cause hair loss if taken orally. Keep reading and you’ll see Latanoprost, a glaucoma drug. Who came up with this stuff anyway?

The group behind the Anagen storefront and products it sells is HairDAO, a “decentralized autonomous organization” founded in 2023 by New York-based cryptocurrency investors Andrew Verbinnen and Andrew Bakst. HairDAO aims to harness the efforts of legions of online biohackers already trying to cure their hair loss with off-label drugs. Verbinnen and Bakst’s major innovation is to inject cash into this scenario: DAO participants are incentivized with crypto tokens they earn by contributing to research, or uploading blood work to an app.

I found this: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/114562535059130491

Bold

  • Custom Feeds, Kits, Groups

Beautiful

  • HDR, Masonry layouts, Portfolios 2.0, Collections 2.0

Better

  • Client caching (faster UX + reduced backend load), Accessibility/i18n, SPA or SSR, WebPush

The new @pixelfed webUI is amazing, and I didn't even mention the new photography features 👀

We'll be testing the beta on a pixelfed.social subdomain next week, and yes, you can too.

So it looks like groups functionality is coming up, and it is separate from collections, which is getting a redesign. I'll have to investigate exactly what those new changes are, but it is exciting regardless!

That's a good point, it looks like one of the other admins has locked the extra post and redirected users to the post with more votes. In the future I'll do something similar based on which one was posted first

Do you have a cat cafe or shelter/rescue nearby?

It's not the same thing, but it might quench your thirst somewhat

There are a few self hosted dead man's switches which might work in this case.

Easiest might be to give passwords to a trusted friend with technical experience and a list of the important things that you want done.

It could be so that it works for embedded videos on other websites

The "crosspost" label is more of a flag that there is another post with the same URL somewhere. If I posted the same article in a community multiple times, it would have multiple "crosspost" labels for that community. I agree that this could be done in a better way

I assume there was a bug or loading issue where the user posted this post twice. Maybe their app thought it didn't go through the first time and tried posting it again.

Since there is discussion on both posts, I might leave them both?

A big part of this site's pitch to its clients, including the "hyperscale" customers with gigantic data centers nearby, is that each device is labeled, tracked, and inventoried for its drives—both obvious and hidden—and is either securely wiped or destroyed. The process, commonly called ITAD, is used by larger businesses, especially when they upgrade fleets of servers or workers' devices. ITAD providers ensure all the old gear is wiped clean, then resold, repurposed, recycled, or destroyed.

I don't have a preference personally. The only issue would be if you make a whole bunch of posts all back to back (5+), that could flood someone's chronological feed.

Individual images spaced out, grouped posts, all fine by me :)

Also, does anyone know how to get them to show up in a Lemmy community, or what that'll look like? How do "Collections" factor into it? @pixelfed

I'm not sure about collections, but there's supposed to be a groups feature in the works.

https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/112543500225773324

In the meantime, I'd recommend you make a Lemmy post with one or all the images, and link your Pixelfed account/post somewhere

The article and original title: Vancouver's new urban forest strategy faces challenges, academic says

Excerpts:

The city's goal is to increase its canopy cover – how much of the city is covered by leaves and branches when seen from above – from about 25 per cent of the city to 30 per cent by 2050, according to the updated urban forest strategy.

The plan sets a target to plant about 165,000 new trees over the next 25 years, and encourages residents to plant trees in their own backyards.

And while the plan has drawn praise from one expert, both city councillors and staff have acknowledged there will be difficulties in meeting the goals set out in the report.

In the wake of the B.C. government pushing hard for cities to increase housing density, Sheppard advised councillors to minimize the loss of existing urban trees when approving rezoning proposals.

The other map:

A map shows areas of the City of Vancouver, with richer neighbourhoods like Shaughnessy and West Point Grey having healthy tree canopy coverage, while Strathcona has only nine per cent.

Multiple councillors pointed out the stark divide in canopy cover between neighbourhoods.

Shaughnessy has 41 per cent tree canopy cover, while Strathcona — which includes the Downtown Eastside — has only nine per cent.

The difference can be particularly significant during heat waves, according to the staff report, which says that vulnerable populations in low canopy areas faced a higher risk of heat-related deaths.

Coun. Mike Klassen asked staff to explore how to reduce urban heat islands in neighbourhoods with minimal tree canopy cover, including a "GreenShades" system that suspends large sails with planted greenery over streets.

The updated urban forest strategy passed unanimously with Klassen's amendment.

There's a quote along the lines of "User error is not a thing, the system allowed for the error through bad design"

Which can be true depending on how far you stretch it. I'd say that if a chunk of the user base is having a problem, it's a design problem

I'll have to go and take a peek sometime this week, hopefully the owls are comfortable with all the attention they're getting lol

From the video:

According to locals the owl prowl crowd has been well behaved and the feathered celebrities mildly amused by all the attention

As a precaution the city has erected a fence and signs around the owl tree asking people to be quiet and respectful to get their photo and then move on

A news article discussing what this is about: https://www.404media.co/this-website-is-running-on-a-wii/

According to the website, as of the time I'm making this post, “the experiment […] is still ongoing”
