I can see how that's a bug that it got released if the intended purpose was to do a POC and gauge the reaction from some internal testers.

But even then they were POC-ing that, which is terrible

Do they do music recommendations? If so, how is it? I use the daily mixes and other mixes on Spotify daily, and got to know plenty od artists that way

I would guess the principal reason here is to socialize, and there's probably other solutions to this. I would also guess that for some the socializing during the day doesn't havehave to be with the same company's coworkers

Right. I'm considering trying out voip numbers but concerned about these disadvantages. Not that I call much anyways, just don't want to make a frustrating calling experience more frustrating lol

I think the original photo posted was heavily edited, hence the complaints. Not sure if you were looking at the newer edit or not (see other comments for context)

You'll probably find that being requested here: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/

They also answered this question in a recent R*ddit AMA, here's a link to my comment for a tldr: https://fedia.io/m/protonprivacy@lemmy.world/t/1188756/-/comment/7259039 (aware but don't want to invest in this atm iirc)

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?

(copied my comment for the top context comment but the other person hasn't answered yet, wanted to get some info on these kinds of services first hand)

At least you should be able to block its mac address

At this point they should just let ppl customize a plan

 

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.

00:00 The State of Medical Privacy is a Mess 02:29 What is HIPAA 07:39 How Your Data is Shared 12:10 The Illusion of Privacy 14:48 What Can We Do 22:16 We Deserve Medical Privacy

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.

Edit: changed the title to something that isn't misleading

 

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

 

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.
