I think you ended up in the wrong subthread. Whether they quit or not, stay doctors or not, has no bearing on whether their actions are HIPAA violations.

There’s a HIPAA exception for actions that cause a person’s death. And, wrong as they may be, some of those people actually believe the fetus was a person.

Article author seems to have completely fabricated the “10 more”. There are no quotes from anyone even hinting at more whistleblowers existing, let alone ten more.

As a long time Pandora user… I never want to select individual songs. I want stations, vibes, playlists, etc.

Mastodon has timed muting, but only permanent blocking.

It’s extremely unlikely … YOU, sure. But it’s absolutely certain that legit people will be blocked from contacting from those numbers to hundreds or thousands of other people.

Would you spend an hour fixing a problem that will only save you ten minutes total in the rest of your lifetime using the software?

How did you get from “People often ask” to “having recurring conversations with everyone you know”?

And, since we don’t own or use any Haier appliances, we aren’t subject to their TOS.

Most of my motivation here was recurring conversations with friends and colleagues and strangers about how much time I put into making small contributions to open source projects.

I’m going to click the [-] thread collapse button on Lemmy 50 times in the next ten minutes.

That area of the chart is for people with really repetitive jobs/hobbies. There are MANY jobs where you do the same 5-10 minute thing 50x a day.

They can’t afford to do anything that would lose them a large slice of viewers. Same reason websites still support IE.

It’s a legal complaint. Someone is going to get fined, likely thousands of dollars, if the complaint is substantiated. I strongly suspect a human will be reading the whole thing more than once, before proceeding to gather much more info.

Why would that be the spirit of the law? If the parent suddenly started making more money, the kid would (probably) have more spent on raising them. Why would that same outcome not apply to the parent’s responsibility being suddenly replaced by person who makes more money?

In many parts of the US, not sure about Texas, child support is based on the parent(s)'(s) income/wealth. The same should apply here, but for the drunk driver’s income/wealth.

upset that it needs you to login to a specific server before it will let you stream music from other unrelated servers
