The isn’t snark. The answer is simply greed. The rich want to be richer. They want it all. The mentality is, “I don’t care about anyone else, I want it all.”

Edit: removed a redundant sentence

:shocked pikachu:

So people will get something like .25 USD?

Ah. Yeah. I think then you’ll want to look into cloudflare tunnels. I believe that should get you through the cgnt and deal with the dynamic IP ll in one go.

You can deal with the non-static IP by using duckdns.org

Another copy. Would have been crazy if it was the exact copy I had.

I was at a used bookshop the other day and found the same Caldera Open Linux 2.2 book and cd that I used to install my first linux distro on a pc. Man that was exciting!

Fuck Amazon.

FTC says water is wet.

Edit: in all seriousness, it’s good that the FTC is talking about this, and it’ll be even better if it does something to combat it.

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

Found it. Thank you!

You’ll never be able to buy that at like a Walmart of Best Buy type retailer. TVs these days are already just spy machines to serve ads. It’s a lovely idea, but it’ll never happen.

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.

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.

Definitely. Not to be ignored, but for lots of yubikey users, also not something to be overly worried about.
