Yea unfortunately I couldn't try it myself, but the write-up was fun

Waiting for someone to make a FOSS one for Android

Can confirm, did that within the last hour. Not the laptop, but a school server

EDIT: Forgot what community this was, the tech is from 2009 and I think it was unreleased (only used in clinical trials). It looks like it's a pair of headphones with the mask attached, which would be good since it might be awkward trying to wear both at once. The gameboy/MP3 is an example of what it can be used with

Here is a video I found with the demo: https://youtube.com/watch?v=-teN8JcqLZQ

My original overreaction can be found below lol


What I don't really get is why there's a need to plug the two things together. Couldn't we already use both things separately? It would also be more upgradeable to... well, any other portable entertainment device.

I can't see the promo video, but a few other potential issues

  • I think children are usually lying down during sedation so they don't hurt themselves after they are sedated. We've all dropped our phones on our faces, so that seems like a concern.
  • Once the child is sedated, does the device get unplugged and the main one get attached?

I guess the main benefit is that it looks cool and it's something to look forward to. A better implementation might be a screen that is attached to the be, positioned above the kid, and then a separate controller (Xbox, PlayStation, whichever) that they can hold on their lap. Then the mask can be colored in a similar scheme, but it hooks up to the usual machine

I didn't even notice POV in the title till you mentioned it. It's so overused that I must have ignored it

Why even, surely it doesn't increase engagement?

Yep, my experience:

  • Reddit: decent with reports, they often act (on certain report types) and give you an update when something is done
  • Facebook/Instagram: most of the time there's no reply, and when there is a reply it's "doesn't violate anything". Only once or twice did I get something removed, and it was a stuff like direct threats to another user in the comment section
  • Google/YouTube: Never hear back about anything. The reports go straight into a trashcan for all I know

Would someone have a high level overview or ELI5 of what this would look like, especially for the average user. Would we need special apps to verify it? How would it work for stuff posted to social media

linking an article is also ok :)

I think it's fair enough to look for the good things that they do, and see if there's a model we can follow for ourselves.

Running a site is one thing, dealing with external factors (local laws, legal requests, public opinion, etc.) is another mess. I'd rather we figured things out now and had some best practices in place, rather than scrambling when the time comes

A slight change:

Does anyone know where the second big cutting board went?

The 'went' would reinforce the second point OP wanted, to clarify that they know where the board usually is, but not where it is now

I guess it's a matter of increasing the friction to making one. This will slightly decrease the number of them?

Or they just don't want to be associated with it

And if that's not cool enough, the site has a lot of other fun stuff
