Depends. If you use an intermediary layer like Yunohost/Cloudron/etc. or now your way around docker it's manageable easily.

Very unlikely by now, these issues have been adressed a while ago.

Matrix is slow on large instances, but that's not the case here, especially if no federation is done.

And the issue with sluggishness is currently the main development focus with ElementX/matrixX that will become mainstream matrix soon. With that even the large instances are extremely fast.

It is literally one setting in Matrix to force all rooms to only do encrypted messages.

Signal is pretty unintuitive when it comes to multiple devices per user, device transfers after a device has been lost,etc.

Yeah, it's interesting base for some applications. We will see how good the compatibility is in the end.

Yeah,US training is a joke,tbh. Some of the best Emergency medical services are in the US. But most services are sadly an utter joke and the basic qualification necessary to respond to emergency calls wouldn't be sufficient to drive people between nursing homes in most other countries.

In comparison:

  • Australia: B.sc (3.5 years)
  • UK: EMT(12-18 Month),mostly Paramedic (B.sc),though
  • Germany: Paramedic (3 year apprenticeship) (supported by Physicans)
  • Switzerland: Paramedic (3 years) (supported by Physicans)

Hahaha, my second long term girlfriend was a bit...naive... tbh... We've been naked many times, but when we first went to a public sauna(which is textile-free here)she asked me exactly that.

Maybe it was the sagging old man's balls or something. But she was somewhat shocked.

It depends on the type of "nursing home" - in a facility catering for more mobile clients, yes, there are some benefits from it and there are actually some good studies on it. The major obstacle is the reduced joint mobility (Arthritis of the fingers) and reduced reaction times. Therefore it would be paramount to use adapted control methods and adapted games.

In a nursing home that has a clientbase focused on the nursing aspect it's far more difficult - most clients will be "too far gone" for most aspects of gaming with a regular PC,but there are some studies using adapted devices and therapists to activate patients ressources.

EMS structure is highly heterogeneous. Where are you from?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Same with healthcare. I am a paramedic by trade, was the youngest in my class, youngest commander, went to work around the world, from the European Alps to the African jungle to Australian outback.

It was quite a journey.

But sadly I had to recognise that I am not cut out of the wood that is required to survive in today's healthcare systems in industrial nations. It made me profoundly hate humans and even more sick humans. I dread every single day I still have to work with patients. Especially awake patients. I can't handle them anymore. Don't get me wrong. I am still giving 100%, sometimes more - and I don't judge,like some other colleagues do over the years. I don't care if you are a frequent flyer, a drunk or a murderer - I will give everything and be very nice to you. But inside me? I burn out.

It's not that I can't work with the misery,with things I've seen. It's just that I can't work with people and the system they are part of anymore.I am now lucky enough to mostly be "off the road" in a cushy,self employed, desk job. But still, I can't fully leave healthcare,as I invested to much. And so I will torture myself again.

In less than 5 hours my alarm clock is going off for another shift. And I am dreading the moment it will.

Fuck.
