after 24 hours being stuck in an hospital room with a blood pressure machine loudly beeping all night i looked up a manufacturer and model number online and found the manual and realized it was just out of paper and i was able to disable the alarm. game changer on the torture level.

Okay but why are we doing that stupid watermark shit
I’m personally torn on it, because I want people to find the fediverse, but I also hate intrusive watermarks, so I landed on the middle ground of making it transparent and subtle.
I might just drop it altogether if it bothers people that much.
I think it’s great if users add it themselves, wouldn’t want it if the servers added it automatically:)
I didn’t notice anything until you mentioned something. I don’t think it’s intrusive. I always appreciate your posts/memes (even on the other communities). Keep doing you!
Thanks, and glad you’re enjoying them!
Watermark does a lot for spreading websites. iFunny and 9Gag should not have had the staying power they had in the ages they did, they were pretty much entirely propped up by their watermarks. Unintrusive stuff like transparent logos with a link are cool. As long as the purpose of the watermark is for the image to actually be shared rather than lock it into the site, it’s effective.
Yep, definitely done with the purpose of people finding Lemmy and getting off of corporate social media. I wouldn’t do it for any site that’s just running a business, but for the fediverse it feels different.
My problem with your watermark is it’s basically worthless to anyone who doesn’t already know what Lemmy is. Unless I’ve somehow missed it, nowhere on the watermark does it actually mention Lemmy. A logo by itself is completely worthless if you’re not well known. You really ought to add ‘join-lemmy.org’ in there under the logo imo, which would make it infinitely more useful.
Agreed. Maybe it’s time to learn how to make a png so I can add some text to the mascot image. Otherwise it means adding the text manually, matching the alignment, and matching the transparency each time, which would be a pain.
It’s very easy to do once you know what you’re doing. This took me like 2 minutes to throw together. I gave the text a background and everything so it should be easily visible no matter the picture’s background color.

You rock! Thanks!
I like it. It’s present but not intrusive or obstructing the image, and it spreads awareness of Lemmy and the fediverse.
That’s my thinking too. It takes like 2 seconds to add, so I’ve been hiding the little transparent Lemmy in any memes that I make or have to heavily edit.
It’s a huge issue actually. All those beeps do prevent sleep and sleep deprivation worsens hospital dementia and slows healing. It’s antiquated AF. Who needs to hear the beeps? The Nurse. Nurse could be many yards away so beeps need to be loud. Do you really think this is the best way we have in the 21st century to alert nurses?
Definitely not the best way, but for (American and other?) healthcare companies it is the cheapest way. As a nurse, I do agree there should be better options. As you mentioned before, it’s not healthy for a peaceful healing environment, moreover, it makes nurses desensitized to alarms and that they blend in the background and become less effective at what they are supposed to do.

Not when they’re all under staffed and the guy 2 rooms down from you is trying to break dance in his bed when they need to give him an injection.

A meme with the text at the top reading: When you turn off all the annoying beeping things in the hospital and everyone starts sleeping better Below the text is an image of Zapp Brannigan from the TV show Futurama with his eyes closed, smiling and holding his hands up palms out and saying “No need to thank me.”

Good human.
Thank you, fellow human 🤖
When I was four I had to do some sleep study thing due to obstructive sleep apnea, and ironically all that equipment they had me hooked up to only made it difficult for me to fall asleep despite that being the entire point of my stay.
I still remember the feel of those wires up my fucking nose all these years later.
This is actually the GOP stance regarding climate change.
I have an unusually low heart rate, mid-40s avg resting and it gets in the upper 30s at times when I lay down or am sleeping. Sets those darn alarms of anytime it goes into the 30s and I’ve had to get up and turn the beeping off just to get some rest.
This is actually sounds plausible to me that it would happen in the un-united states of america (more likely in repukelican majority places) because of the deranged and down right idiotic stuff I’ve seem come out of that country in recent years
I’m glad I don’t live in america
