Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #qol, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Last week's #ONS seminar "Introducing the UK headline measures of national #wellbeing" was interesting. The session was not recorded but the slides are available here:
    slideshare.net/slideshow/intro

    Areas of discussion in the Q&A:
    - A report on the methodology deriving these indicators potentially to be published.
    - Does #BeyondGDP include GDP?

  2. Got my little feature I stayed up too late last night merged into #inkscape Hurrah.

    It's mostly useful for CnC and Sewing pattern type work and I'm interested in those users testing it out. @Triffen was this one of your use cases?

  3. Last night I had the 2011 #macbook pro running #MacOSXsnowleopard side by side next to the 2013 macbook pro running #Monterey. It was crazy seeing how much has changed but also how much stayed the same.

    I like the #QOL improvements that #Apple has made to their OS (not including #MacOS26Tahoe) but I do miss the older #skeuomorphic and stylings of the earlier #OSX; it just had more character.

  4. 🛠️Update 3.3.0 is LIVE!
    We are bringing some Quality of Life improvements to #LlamaLegends:

    ⚔️Arena Presets: Save up to 5 Teams!

  5. @heapy reach out if you have questions. V4.3.3 has some #QOL features you might appreciate with a performance control button that illuminates when the gate opens and knobs to adjust controls and see what’s happening.

  7. #Syndrome_T, i.e. persistent symptoms and reduced #QoL despite normal #TSH concentration, affects 10% of #hypothyroid patients on #levothyroxine. Careful, multimodal and personalised treatment can result in significantly improved outcomes.

  8. I am willing to forgive Mastodon for its glacial movement toward Quoted Toots, which I very much look forward to, because it has long given me a working Edit feature, something which some other, newer, social network things (not naming any Bluesky names, but totally Bluesky) still are failing to do in this, Chaos Year 2025, despite no shortage of evidence of the value of being able to fix your damn typos without deleting your post and starting from scratch.

  9. It's ridiculous,and lots of people have them, but I think the combination of an #airfrier and an #InstantPot is such a boost to quality of life.
    I mean honestly, 10 minutes from freezer to face for this hashbrown and bacon sandwich is a pretty solid #qol uplift right?

  10. The March* issue of Quality of Life Research includes the call for papers
    "Quality of life dimensions in people living with mental disorders: moving beyond global scores"
    rdcu.be/ehPIy

    We encourage submissions of research and practice using nuanced approaches to #HRQL & #QOL, adopting the term “mental disorder” broadly, e.g., based on standard diagnoses or using transdiagnostic perspectives.

  11. There are many things your city council could work on that would make your city better for citizens and visitors. But as politicians go about creating big things, don’t let them overlook smaller amenities … like public restrooms. Want to challenge them? Point out that the NYC Council recently passed a “bathroom bill.” Why not your council? nytimes.com/2025/04/10/nyregio #downtowns #QOL

  12. Mild early-game spoilers, but how else am I going to show you the #QoL feature I just added in response to player feedback at #TheGameExpo ?

    Dialogue options are now greyed out after the first time you access them.
    Will be added to all such multi-option persistent dialogue trees.

  13. My #QOL just improved by 200 percent, because I discovered a new cafe in #Goettingen which offers Greek #Frappé and tasty #Bougatsa.
    ☕ 🥞

    Plus, the atmosphere is really nice. :awesome:

  14. Внезапно обнаружил, что Plasma, оказывается умеет (как минимум на Wayland) входить в режим "Do not Disturb" когда шарится экран.

    Мелочь, а приятно!

  16. ME Research UK:

    Researchers based at Cardiff University – alongside those with lived experience of ME/CFS have published two papers investigating how ME/CFS impacts quality of life.

  17. Cancer therapy-induced dry mouth is one of our patients' most frequent complications, affecting their #QoL. Relevant advances may overcome this long-lasting side effect. www.jci.org/articles/vie...

  18. Shout out to the Swift Selection Search extension for Firefox. It is, without a doubt, one of the best time-saving, QoL extensions I've encountered, right up there with uBlock Origin IMO.

    When you select text on a webpage, a pop-up will automatically appear that has a fully-customizable list of search engines that allows you to search the selected term in one click.

    Wanna look up a word in the dictionary? Select it and click the Wiktionary icon. Need to do a quick DuckDuckGo search? Select the term and click the icon. You're a fan of an obscure franchise and you use its wiki page a lot? You can add it to the extension's options page and enable yourself to search for your favorite characters in just a couple of clicks.

    It's an awesome extension and I highly recommend it.

  20. Our newest paper provides new insights into the conundrum of #syndrome_T / #sorshot. #Anxiety and #depression are significantly more common in autoimmune #thyroiditis compared to healthy controls.

  21. #introduction
    Hallo zusammen,
    ich bin Saskia, in der #WeAreNotWaiting Community auch bekannt als Frau Loop.

    Ich nutze seit Mai 2016 einen #DIY #ClosedLoop, um damit meinen Typ-1-Diabetes #T1D einfacher zu handhaben. Seit Januar 2017 versuche ich - zumeist sehr erfolgreich - medizinisches Fachpersonal und andere Menschen mit #Diabetes für diese #DIYAPS zu begeistern.

    Inzwischen gibt es endlich auch kommerzielle Systeme, die mE gerne noch reifen dürfen!
