Full results from the study, presented at the American Heart Association annual scientific meeting in Philadelphia and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggest the drug has other beneficial effects beyond the known health benefits from losing weight.

The heart risk difference between patients who received Wegovy, known chemically as semaglutide, and those on placebo began to appear almost immediately after starting treatment, researchers said.

So it’s not just from losing weight!

The associated risk factors include inflammation, blood pressure and blood sugar control, all of which can impact heart health.

Patients on Wegovy experienced decreases in C-reactive proteins, an indication of inflammation, similar to those reported with cholesterol lowering statins, which are known to significantly lower heart risks, researchers reported.

That is really promising!

Biden can be an instant king-maker. All he has to do is hold a press conference where he endorses another Democratic candidate, along with an announcement that he is bowing out of the race to protect the country from Donald Trump. It would be the most potent endorsement ever made.

This has been going on forever. Decades ago, it was common to be charged more on travel websites if you were using a Mac then if you were using windows. These days they use a lot more profiling to try to squeeze more money out of the people they think are willing to pay.

Commnad-option-C will copy the path of the currently-selected folder or file to the clipboard. If you use a finder replacement like PathFInder, you get this behavior with just command-C.

I prefer porkbun for my domain provider. They’re kind of the darling of the self-hosting community, it seems. But I picked them because they were pretty inexpensive.

Text generation seems to leave a little to be desired. Five separate generations and "Hello World" always came out as "Hello Word."

As an atheist, I had to ask myself how I know people are worshiping a god. In the US, it seems to boil down to a few things:

  1. Giving money to an organization in order to participate with the community
  2. Showing obedience to authority by allowing them to dictate some (but not all) of one's behavior
  3. Being hyper-focused on how the organization got to where it is today and whether what they do today aligns with its initial values and goals
  4. Performing rituals in hopes of causing specific outcomes

Based on this, I am already worshiping Apple.

If we get to be even half the size of Lemmy.world, I will eat my hat. But the same thought does cross my mind every time I invite another disillusioned Redditor on board.

I'm glad you were here to provide the explanation that the bot should have provided. Thank you for taking the time.

Lemmy.ninja provides the !communitysearchtips@lemmy.ninja community, which has walkthroughs on how to find content, how to subscribe to it, etc. It also does periodic curated reviews on communities and invites users to do the same.

Every once in a while, a post from a service employee would surface on r/popular on Reddit, and you'd get a glimpse of how they really feel about tips and people who tip badly or don't tip. They absolutely will retaliate against people they know don't tip up to their expectations, but they will never share their expectations with their customers.

Granted, this is a slice of the total population of service workers who are complaining on a public forum. Still, would you risk your hair, or your food, or your time to someone who decides you're not keeping up your end of the social contract? Not me! If I go to a place regularly, I tip even if the service is bad, because I won't take the chance of being retaliated against.

It sucks.

To be perfectly honest, I do my best cooking when my feet aren't wet. I wonder if there's a connection?

From the Github Repo Readme: These scripts enable users to build a Linux container or virtual machine in an interactive manner, offering options for both basic and advanced configurations. The basic setup utilizes default settings, whereas the advanced setup empowers users to alter these default settings. Through the use of the whiptail command, options are presented to users in a dialog box format. After the user makes their selections, the script collects and verifies the user's input in order to generate the final configuration for the container or virtual machine.

Our friends at feddit.de have created a live search tool for Lemmy communities! Type in your search term and the community browser will show you a list of communities sorted by total number of posts (descending). This will help ensure that you pick the most active variant of a particular community.

The search results will give you three major blocks of information.

  1. The direct URL and a copy URL button. Use this URL in the community search box.
  2. The name of the community. You can click this to read the community sidebar and see if the community is right for you.
  3. Vital statistics (instance URL, post, comment, and subscriber counts).

So far it doesn't look like it will show you any kbin magazines (what kbin calls a community). Rest assured you can still search for and find kbin magazines the old fashioned way -- just not with browse.feddit.de.

Asif Youssuff assembled this short list of subreddits and corresponding kbin or Lemmy communities that have sprung up to replace them. It's organized into subscriber count buckets, making it easier to evaluate whether the replacement community is active enough for your subscription.

Someone built a Lemmy map! (lemmymap.feddit.de)

Lemmy is a federated news aggregator, which means that most of the posts and communities that have the most activity don't reside on this server. At Lemmy.ninja, we do a lot of work trying to find those remote communities and make them easy for you to find and subscribe to.

If you're looking for a community, head to our community list and click on "all." When we find a good, active remote community, we make sure to subscribe to it so that it appears there. This list will continually grow!

edit: Well, in the intervening days since this post, we've changed from an allow-list approach to a block-list approach when it comes to federating with other communities. Doing this had an unexpected impact on our community list -- it started auto-populating. That means that it's slowly filling with communities that we haven't curated. That's okay, though; as we grow, you can use the subscriber counts on the community list to get an idea of what is popular across all of the Lemmy and kbin communities!

If you're new to Lemmy, it can be hard to find communities to subscribe to. Unlike monolithic sites like Reddit, federated sites require you to discover the communities (and the sites they reside on) yourself.

Here at lemmy.ninja, we've found a lot of good communities that you can access from the communities section of this server. To find more, I decided to plumb one of the largest Lemmy sites, lemmy.ml, to see what its users are subscribed to. I took the top 2000 sites listed at lemmy.ml and sorted them according to the number of posts in the community. Check out the full list here.

Keep in mind that the list heavily favors communities on lemmy.ml, but it's a start!
