I so look forward to seeing an ad when I pause a video to inspect whatever is on the screen at that moment.

No. Your best bet is with something like privacy.com or mysudo.

Edit: grammar

+1 for proton. Been using them for years now.

Capitalism/the profit motive is how physicians get caught in these systems of apathy. My comment isn’t an over simplification, it is the root cause.

Is the entirety of the healthcare system incredibly complex? Absolutely, and within that complex system there are all sorts of problems that could be teased out to study and address. None of that will dramatically change the outcome of a system that is designed solely to extract as much profit as it can.

When profit is the primary goal of a healthcare company (and the legally mandated responsibility of that company if it is publicly traded) the end result is the system we have.

I mean, you could charge like $8 and then give the totally real people that are paying that money a blue checkmark? /s

Seriously though, I like the idea, but the verification has got to be easy to do and consistently successful when you do it.

I run my own matrix server, and the most difficult/annoying part of it is the web of trust and verification of users/sessions/devices. It’s a small private server with just a few people, so I just handle all the verification myself. If my wife had to deal with it it would be a non starter.

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but mysudo may work for what you want to do.

Also, I don’t see how eliminating the deductions helps. And I don’t mean that in a snarky way. I’m genuinely asking how that would make the situation better.

The profit motive needs to be removed from healthcare, or patients will continue to get fucked.

Healthcare needs to be separated from employment, and the profit motive needs to be removed from healthcare.

Should the government run it? Maybe not, but what’s the alternative? It’s like every election. Choosing one of two bad choices and hoping you choose the less bad.

And in the case of healthcare, I’ll take government run, profit free, tax funded healthcare over what we have now.

Edit: autocorrect error.

It’s not pure capitalism, but it’s definitely crony capitalism. Us plebs get fucked either way.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t there have to be a code layer somewhere in there?

It’s like all those “no code” platforms that just obscure away the actual coding via a gui and blocks/elements/whataver.

Capitalism.

Healthcare and insurance are for profit industries and the corporations running the healthcare and insurance business don’t give a fuck about the health of the patients. They want all the monies and want to move patients through as quickly and cheaply as possible to maximize their profits.

It definitely depends on the instance, but as a whole it’s probably a bit of carryover culture from the other place where emoji are not generally accepted.

What they’re saying: “we promise to support your device for seven years! Isn’t that great!”

What they mean: “We promise to keep our spying/data gathering/ad serving updated to the latest spying/gathering/ad tech to extract as much data and money as we can.”

(I 100% didn’t read this article and am 100% taking the piss on these shitty companies spying on us and manipulating us)

Oh damn. That’s wild.

Me either! Is it now a dollar general?

YES!

Do you live where I live? Exact same scenario, including the fate of the building.

I’m headed in that direction.

• Minimal apps on my phone, most of them foss apps to access my self hosted services
• Raspberry pi 4 running osmc connected to our TV. TV itself has no internet connection
• Want to move to graphene os, but riding this iphone 12 mini until it dies
• Linux on my server and my primary computer. Have an M1 Mac Mini that my wife primarily uses (too many papercuts for her with asahi linux. We tried and switched back), and iPadOS on the iPad Pro that I have that I’m also riding until it dies.

I LOATHE that fucking google sign in overlay.

Translation:

“Fuck you for not replacing your perfectly fine and still working 10 year old machine and making our line go up more. We’re gonna do our best to brick it because we want all of your money.”

Fuck capitalism. I will (and have been) doing my absolute to avoid buying any kind of physical device that requires an app to function
