leukaemia or melanoma
I don’t know enough about cancer, is melanoma a blood disorder? I thought it was skin cancer?
- Comment on Cancer Council's iHeard articles - responses to claims people have heard about cancer 23 hours ago:
You know how theres those questions in life you’ve never considered, yep, this is one for me! Holy shit, cancer can be passed from mother to baby! Insane!
Q.
If a pregnant women is diagnosed with cancer, is it likely the baby will also develop cancer?"
A.
Although it is possible, it is extremely rare for a mother to pass cancer on to her baby during pregnancy. To date, there have only been around 17 suspected incidences reported, most commonly in patients with leukaemia or melanoma.
A case in Japan in 2009 was the first to be hailed as proof that it can happen. In that case, a mother was diagnosed with leukaemia soon after she gave birth, and her baby daughter was diagnosed with lymphoma when she was 11 months old. Although two different types of cancer, the cancer cells of the mother and baby carried the identical mutated cancer gene. The baby hadn’t inherited the gene, meaning the cells must have come from the mother. The baby’s cancer cells had an additional mutation making them invisible to her immune system, allowing them to cross the placental barrier and survive without being attacked.
But in the vast majority of cases where cancer is diagnosed during pregnancy, which are uncommon to begin with, cancer cells can’t pass from mother to baby. Nor can cancer cells pass from a mother to baby through breast milk. Women who have been diagnosed with cancer are advised not to become pregnant, however, because chemotherapy and radiotherapy can harm the unborn baby.
- Comment on Law Council opposes extraordinary powers for ASIO 1 day ago:
Shit! Well, sorry!? I didn’t mean that as a personal attack to anyone in particular, especially not on AZ/Lemmy. I was mildly praising the Law Council, a fairly staid and conservative grouping of the ‘powers that be’, likely made up of an ‘in group’ of Australian power players. So I see them as a group that wouldn’t always understand or accept the problems with an overly securitised state.

Na, its to pop a cultural crisis balloon the media was blowing up last year.
There will be some tangential benefits, i think the no alcohol before 18 is a good analogy, the only problem is there can be some benefits to social media, whereas theres not a really an upside to alcohol.
But largely its due to talk-back wankers, and the Government not wanting a distracting fake cultural crisis. Commercial media in this country suck large round ones.
Anyway, thats my view.
- Comment on National study finds where you live influences your body weight | News at Curtin 4 days ago:
Yeah, thats true. I know they made assessments by postcode, so that data is probably in the report somewhere, the full report is open and available at that link.
Also considering Midland is SOR, which i definitely don’t always consider, maybe the vast majority of the population would be SOR, so comparing uneven population sizes might be leading to a quirk.

I can’t believe there is a North or the River South of the river divide in BMI for Perth! Is there more fast food SOR?

- Comment on Couple from Kazakhstan allegedly used hidden camera and earpieces to win $1.18m from Sydney’s Crown casino 1 week ago:
The organised crime squad commander, Det Supt Peter Faux, said police and the casino worked together to detect and prevent criminal activity.
“Our detectives collaborate closely with casino security to identify and disrupt unlawful behaviour,” Faux said. “This strong cooperation is vital to maintaining the integrity of gaming operations and is reflected in outcomes like this.
You’re workin for the criminals ya bums! Let the casinos come to you with all the evidence, put your stretched resources into something more important.

have parents who don’t understand the issue, or are too busy and/or stressed out to monitor the issue, or if you have friends who provide you with access…
The other commenter isn’t making strawman arguments, they made quite clear the complex situations in which a parent may not be in a position to monitor or control their childs use.
Parents who neglect their children have their children removed
This is a strawman. It fails to imagine neglect of varied levels. It fails to acknowledge that child removal is the last resort after sustained and/or heavy neglect.
The alternative, you presented one that i see, is a government solution imposed from on high that is liable to the same ‘police state’ attacks you make about this legislation, or, will go unenforced and thus be a giant waste of time and energy because all parents, especially those time poor or ‘not in the know’, ignore the tool.

Is it effectively a competitor to Lemmy or Mastodon at it’s heart?
I think it is, to an extent, but seems more flexible in its range of potential uses. So Bonfire social definitely is, but the Bonfire Science, and Bonfire Communities add a bit more flexibility in ways to structure the communities and groups within those communities. I like the ideas driving it, one of the problems i find with Lemmy, is the inability to organise on platform beyond a reasonably casual exchange. It makes things slow, and hard to communicate through.
The boundaries thing is cool, i’d forgotten that was part of it, the circles i think makes more sense when you look at the different use cases like the science, or community projects. But yeah its just a grouping mechanism.
~topic based
This is the best use for social media. I can’t see the use case for non-public figures on a platform like say twitter.
~scale
Yeah, its a good question. The more complicated a structure, how well can something like a bonfire communities scale before groups become meaningless. Maybe its a better as literal town size, but hard to see tens of thousands in circles being an effective use case. I’ve watched this project for a few years now, and i’ve not seen much in the way of growth, so i’m not sure they would’ve come across the challenge yet.
I suppose for security in scaling the boundaries function could really come into its own, it seems more fine tuned than the heirarchy of admin/mod/user.

Ypu should go and find ypur firat post, tbh i’m surprised you think theres a server still running that would have it, if we’re predating the rise of social media here.
Whats your assessment of bonfire networks?
I really like the idea of the circles thing, i think it would be extemely useful for community organisation and maintenance purposes. But it seems like they’re having trouble getting traction, so maybe theres a problem with the idea i don’t see.

Ooh, not sure i should’ve asked this question! I really don’t get what i’m looking at here. Thats why i’ve taken so long to reply.
The server-user diagram seems a bit like the structure of Activitypub. I think the use of the word ‘news’ is throwing me as well, they’re not using the word news in the common ‘news organisation delivers articles in some form’ sense but using the word in a more broad sense? So how is this different from Activitypub, maybe less open/connected? But its the connected servers that communicate with the Activitypub protocol as well.

I’m interested in what you mean when you refer to a private news server? Do you mean like the Guardian app; or do you mean some sort of RSS set up; or is it some self hosted thing?
I’m interested because i have an idea for a news reposting site fed by an RSS feed, but maybe you use an equivalent system i’m not aware of.
