You will see zero change until the people (all of us) stop going to work, grind the global economy to a halt, and force our leaders and billionaires to clean up their fucking mess.

Like a parent stopping the car until the kids behave.

If a nazi complains about the fediverse and nobody is there to give a shit, does he make a sound?

Thankfully there are many other roadblocks as well (board certification, state licensure, etc), but that doesn’t make this any less terrifying.

This isn’t a statement rooted in honesty or morality. This is saying the quiet part out loud.

Where should we point them?

Quite happy with my life, thank you. And the bees.

As a local beekeeper, I take offense to your sentiment.

From reading the NPR article, it doesn’t sound like the surgical team started the procedure. They aborted before making any incisions, which is what they should have done. The Guardian headline is a touch sensationalist.

What’s horrifying is how they got all the way to the operating room before recognizing that the patient wasn’t brain dead.

The SILCA strip chip does a great job of eliminating the need for chain prep. Worth the extra cost, if you don’t want to mess around with harsh chemicals.

Waxed chains are the bees knees. I’ll never go back to using lube.

HIPAA only applies to Covered Entities. 23andMe does not meet the HHS definition of a Covered Entity.

Yep, totally agree. Just pointing out that the tech is not the enemy here, it’s the intent of the user(s). I’m a big fan of Signal, and they’ve done nothing wrong here, though to some the headline could imply that the tool is complicit here.

Depends on when you started using it, when you were served with a notice to retain, and whether you used Signal to discuss content that falls under said notice.

Either way, encryption and/or auto-delete isn’t the enemy here.
