HIPAA also only covers specific types of information medium. It’s not a generic “you can’t share information” law like most people think it is, it’s a “if you’re storing information you need to follow these rules about who can see what, and have these safeguards in place to prevent access” law.

Ok. Cool story, bro.

Edit for clarity to any observers: take a look at this guy’s comment history to see how seriously you should take him.

I took a class from a local organization on it and it really provided the motivation and support I needed to make the switch. My wife and I switched together and we both feel a lot better and our blood work showed radical improvement over just a couple of weeks. Been at it for several months now and I think it’s a life change for us now.

If you don’t have a class in your area, the book “How Not to Die” by Michael Greger is the next best thing.

Also, you do you, but I advise staying away from vegan communities. They can attract certain kind of person that does not provide a positive experience, at least for me. Also fun fact: you can be vegan and eat like absolute shit; Oreos and McDonalds French fries are both vegan. Plant based, whole food is stricter in terms of providing actual nutrition.

I recently switched to a plant-based, whole food diet, and seeing the phrase “chlorinated chicken” makes me feel so very validated about this choice.

What part is so difficult to understand?

How in a world filled with a rainbow of search engines, you didn’t bother to use one of them before posting that. Even like a cursory hit on Wikipedia.

Recall’s release immediately caused controversy, with experts warning that the feature could be a “disaster” for security and privacy, particularly since there was initially no option for users to disable it. This backlash prompted Microsoft to postpone its rollout. Microsoft then changed the feature to opt-in and provided instructions for how to remove it.

Backlash against Recall was centered on both security and privacy. Upon its release, Recall was described as a “potential security nightmare”. The initial version of Recall saved all data to a plaintext database, making it easy for the data to be stolen.

In response, the privacy-focused messaging app Signal published a feature for Signal Desktop that includes a “Screen security” setting, blocking Recall from taking screenshots of Signal chats on Windows. The setting is enabled by default when using Signal Desktop on Windows 11. Brave and AdGuard added similar functionality in July 2025. Later versions of Recall added full database encryption.

Wow, that’s a lot of anger to feel while also being wrong about nearly everything you posted. Maybe there’s a causation there?

People got really mad about recall because it was:

• a system that recorded everything they did
• using screenshots
• that was turned on for them automatically
• and was difficult to turn off
• and did not properly respect being turned off
• and has already been out for like, a long time.

Just going to add an edit here to say: spot on username there though buddy.

Did you just like miss the whole “windows recall” saga?

It’s too bad this isn’t actually “DIY”, because I have been mulling over building a dual screen e-ink sheet music reader for a while. Dual screens definitely have a place, it’s just niche.

I see no link to GitHub, but I do see two links to crowd supply.

Did I miss something? Title is “DIY” but it looks like a sales page?

Very glad I didn’t buy a Nothing phone when I was considering it.

“Can easily turn off” implies that it ships to you on.

Honestly, asking us to assume that every action comes from a place of good will just makes me doubt them even more. You earn that kind of trust, you don’t ask for it; and if they don’t have it they should be asking hard questions about why.

They are a company that used to be about independent choice but are effectively reliant on Google (a privacy nightmare) to be solvent, and they’re now putting their bets into being “a modern AI browser”. Nothing about that tells me I should just trust them.

“Changes course after backlash” != “clarifies”.

It’s hard to use just “active users” to project anything. They define an “active user” as someone who has commented or posted in the last month, so it is a number that discounts lurkers and treats bursts of news-heavy activity like a surge of signups.

I haven’t seen any actual numbers that define how many people actually migrated, but I have seen a lot of speculation and feelings on how many it might be.

I’d advise against assuming anything here without hard numbers to back it up.

Bullshit.

I am an entirely passive player. I don’t start PvP, I don’t participate in it unless someone starts shooting at me.

Yet I am constantly being shot at. In about 80% of matches I get attacked, typically from people extraction camping. It is enough that I have moved to other games because I can’t make much progress losing everything in most matches.

This looks like a cool device. Too bad it’s gonna be loaded with Samsung bloatware.

These posters should be illegal.

3 mostly solved this, it was way more reasonable. 2 was a great game with fantastic voice acting that was really diminished by the character models.

It’s frustrating that a small number of really good franchises are locked into the Nintendo bullshit business model.

Xenoblade Chronicles, Zelda, Mario, and a couple of other series running on Steam Deck without the emulation nonsense would make me tremendously happy.
