At least you should be able to block its mac address
At this point they should just let ppl customize a plan
I thought for a sec mega would implement drive for linux for proton. I remember the cloud service now, misread your comment
Any idea how to be notified of such release were to happen? Not sure who is "mega".
Edit: don't onow how but I misread the message entirely, so disregard
I think there's misconceptions, trust being put in the wrong place, unawareness involved, or simply they don't think it through, rather than not caring (anectodal/IMO). E.g. "I don't have anything to hide, so what if they collect everything".
If we could build a tool to gather such info, that's easily accessible and for free, to show all the data available on you in the marketplace - that might make them uncomfortable. And then perhaps they'll start to try and understand why they're uncomfortable, and why this is bad.
I feel like there needs to be an incentive in mind for those apps to bring in ppl. People care about privacy but won't even delete FB, let alone use a different messaging app
What's your experience with using mysudo/voip numbers in terms of services accepting them (e.g. Google)? And socially, can you do regular calls with these numbers? Any audio delays?
What do you do wrt vegetables? I always end up using those thin plastic bag to wrap them, even uf I bring a big reusable bag to carry it all out
Hypothetically, they can ask for consent from patients, with some form that allows investigative agencies to access contact information of patients for such cases. I think there are other options other than sending it without consent and even the knowledge of the patients.
Awesome, thank you for pointIng out the issue with the previous one!
Changed the title, not sure how to balance "meant to make it easier to share between organizations (gov included)" and the misconception thay it is a privacy oriented regulation
From what I understand from the video and the regulation definition under Health Care Operations there are many ways for the provider to share the data without consent (page 2: https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/ocr/privacy/hipaa/understanding/coveredentities/sharingfortpo.pdf).
“Health care operations” are certain administrative, financial, legal, and quality improvement activities of a covered entity that are necessary to run its business and to support the core functions of treatment and payment. These activities, which are limited to the activities listed in the definition of “health care operations” at 45 CFR 164.501, include: < Conducting quality assessment and improvement activities, population- based activities relating to improving health or reducing health care costs, and case management and care coordination; < Reviewing the competence or qualifications of health care professionals, evaluating provider and health plan performance, training health care and non-health care professionals, accreditation, certification, licensing, or credentialing activities; < Underwriting and other activities relating to the creation, renewal, or replacement of a contract of health insurance or health benefits, and ceding, securing, or placing a contract for reinsurance of risk relating to health care claims; < Conducting or arranging for medical review, legal, and auditing services, including fraud and abuse detection and compliance programs; Business planning and development, such as conducting cost-management and planning analyses related to managing and operating the entity; and Business management and general administrative activities, including those related to implementing and complying with the Privacy Rule and other Administrative Simplification Rules, customer service, resolution of internal grievances, sale or transfer of assets, creating de-identified health information or a limited data set, and fundraising for the benefit of the covered entity.
Is that the first hurdle you were mentioning? I'm just trying to understand where is the restriction of the second hurdle if in 164.506 it says an entity can use the data:
"Use or disclose protected health information for its own treatment, payment, and health care operations activities"
Trying to understand the distinction add have another TIL moment, not aeguing against the comment
I guess there's some deminishing returns if the data gets distributed to too many entities

It obviously protects against sharing data with e.g. your employer, but if a health provider chooses to make your data shareable, there are 2.2M authorized entities that can potentially access the data (identifiable health data).
Excerpt of the video description: Most people think that HIPAA means that their medical records are kept private. But what if I told you that HIPAA doesn’t protect your privacy at all?
This is our first video in a series about medical privacy, specifically looking at legislation that stripped individuals of the right to consent to medical data sharing.
We focus on what HIPAA actually is, how it came to allow our data to be shared without us even knowing, how we’ve been tricked into thinking we have privacy, and steps we can take to reclaim control of our medical data.

We deserve privacy in our medical system. Our health information is sensitive, and we should be allowed to protect it. Even while we fight for better medical privacy, please always prioritize your health.

Technically the graph endedon 2019, but it was a major loss until theb
If those pagers had explosives, I wonder if the explosives were put there as a sabotage or for "destroy if found" functionality
From the link's comments, someone thought: "The police (no matter the country involved here) went way over the top on this. An anonymous e-mail is nowhere near enough evidence to go arresting/detaining someone without a thorough investigation first. The only possible exceptions being domestic violence, child abuse or a homicide in progress."
Liar liar stocks on fire
Have you noticed any breaking issues? If you tried it yourself ofc
I keep getting notified that I should upgrade my newpipe apk to a newer version through a url. F-Droid only has up to v0.25.2 but the latest is v0.26.1. It's been like that for >1w (the discrepancy), is this usual for F-Droid repos? Or something with my installation is wrong?
Lyft disabled scheduling rides through ride.lyft.com, I used that quite a bit but now in forced go use the app. The problem however, is that their app just doesn't work. It launches, says the Google API is necessary and then continues to close.
Does anyone know of an app that use their API that doesn't shut itself down without installing Google SDK?
I saw an article awhile ago that the police just straight up bought ad-network data about someone they were prosecuting without needing a warrant. Is there anyway to know what info ad networks have on me out there?
I know there are databrokers you can query to see what they have kn you, but those are all public records from I could find so far
I noticed quite a bit of people not knowing you can opt out of the dead voice chat recording (where it transmits your mic audio when you die for a couple of seconds).
When I installed the game there was a prompt that asked for an opt-in, that was pretty short to read.
Do you think people automatically click "I consent" or is the prompt not very clear?
A lot of privacy guides suggest avoiding Telegram. I understand that in its default mode there's no E2EE (and no E2EE for groups at all). If people I know don't wanttko use Signal, isn't Telegram the lesser evil given it's nicer privacy policy (than other popular ones)?
Say I use the FOSS version of it.
