    Because everyone has a different core temperature. So it really can’t be set value like 100°F.

    Generally speaking, a fever of 100°F is “fine”, albeit completely exhausting and not at all fun, but it’s good for helping the body to fight infections.

    Fevers higher than 102°F are when you need to start working on bringing that fever down. If it climbs higher than that, you risk brain injury. The proteins in your body will also start to denature (lose their ability to function) as your temperature climbs, including proteins that work within your brain and your nervous system.

    If it continues to climb or won’t go down even after taking medicine, you need to call your doctor or go to the hospital.






  • I’m a Windows user, but my church uses a Mac to run its projection and video recording. I’ll admit it works pretty well for what we typically need it to do, but it recently took me like five minutes to figure out how to crop a picture because you apparently can’t do that by simply opening the file and clicking the crop icon.

    Mac’s filesystem is an absolute mess, too. This might just be my own inexperience, but I’ve saved things like PowerPoints and videos in order to upload them, and then I’ll go to the website to upload them, and I won’t be able to find them because they’re not in a specific folder or something.




  • What’s the number of Threads users compared to Lemmy? If the number of Threads users greatly outweigh the number of Lemmy users, then we’d simply be drowned out by all the Threads posts. That’s part one of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

    Extend adds functionality to Threads that Lemmy either can’t support or won’t support for a while due to development time. People migrate to Threads because Lemmy is “missing” functionality. Plus, though I’m not clear on the exact legal specifications, proprietary code can be added to open-source code, and the proprietary code would be copyrighted. In other words, Lemmy devs would have to figure out a way to interact with and mimic Threads’ proprietary code using open-source code.

    Extinguish is when Threads’ support of Lemmy is eventually dropped. The users left on Lemmy have suddenly lost a huge amount of content, and they’re left with fewer users than before Threads enabled federation.
