NocturnalMorning, to privacy in Pharmacies Are Giving Your Medical Data To Police

Of course they are, why would there be a basic expectation of privacy for medical data, it’s only a HiPAA violation to disclose it.

cheese_greater,

Someone needs to request the worst of the worst police officers’ personal prescription records and release those to make a point

And then we can celebrate the them at their funeral. So sad how many accidental officer firearm discharges are associated with people “making a point”.

Seriously, what part of surveillance police state do people not understand

TheHobbyist,

Unfortunately, I’m afraid it will only enforce a two tier privacy system: one where people of importance get granted a privilege when others don’t…

cheese_greater,

I’m obliquely suggesting its already that way and it needs to be reconfigured. Said bad apple’s records would likely be treated with professional courtesy like those friends of the police get out tickets free cards

What are they, high or something?

Enkers, to privacy in Pharmacies Are Giving Your Medical Data To Police

It’s not even just your medical data. I picked up a prescription for my mother who just had spinal surgery, and they wouldn’t hand over the pain medication without taking down all of my info. I’ve had no issue picking up any of her other prescriptions. Seems the war on drugs is still alive and well.

Duranie,

To be fair, I work in hospice and we have run into situations where family members would help themselves to patient comfort meds if they could gain access. It’s not a bad idea to track who has access along the way.

Meanwhile, I’ve seen dozens of videos on Instagram of cartel guys floating literal boatloads full of coke and god knows what else across the gulf of mexico.

Watching the US government handle drug enforcement is like watching a toddler eat piss with a fork. Whatever they’re hoping to achieve isn’t going to help anyone and they’re not even trying to do it effectively.

I take ADHD medication and the laws make you feel like a criminal for buying it.

const_void, to linux in Booting up Libreboot T440p laptop with Windows 10 (No NVIDIA GPU Requried)

I wish more laptops had the option for Libreboot or Coreboot. I’m so tired of the monopoly proprietary firmware vendors have.

possiblylinux127,

I think part of the problem is that all of the modern hardware is a black box on some level or another.

kanzalibrary,

+1 for this. My tech hope in 2024 is… “RISC-V has reach the perfect system for consumer level” like I installed Debian on my thinkpad laptop, without any error…

agressivelyPassive,

Not gonna happen.

There are some interesting projects going on, but a) still far from desktop performance and b) definitely not in a laptop.

kanzalibrary,

If Google and Qualcomm already develop RISC-V on smartwatch in 2023, then why not on laptop in 2024? Ohh… of course it’s because trade war chips tension that halt the development. But still… optimistic on this is not wrong either IMO. Just because “it’s far from” doesn’t mean it cannot move fast…

Dudewitbow,

Its because its not as simple as just freely supporting it. Frameworks CEO talks about it in a podcast on yhe idea if they fully went behind coreboot, the hardware release cycle would at least be a generation behind, and if youre a fledgling business whose main focus is environment, repair and upgradibility first, that would likely end in the bankruptcy of your business.

fl42v,

On a side note, t440p’s {core,libre}boot is not completely foss, they still use a proprietary blob for mrc (at least AFAIK). Yet it’s still way better than other options

Zeon, (edited )

That’s not true anymore, somebody from the community reverse engineered the MRC blob a couple months back. The only RYF concern is Intel Management Engine (which is disabled, but still its there). LibreMRC is still being tested, the resolution for SeaBIOS is still messy but it works!

fl42v,

Well, I guess I now have an incentive to order yet another t440p motherboard to bring mine back to life and go playing with it once again. Tnx for the info!

kanzalibrary, to linux in Booting up Libreboot T440p laptop with Windows 10 (No NVIDIA GPU Requried)

I’m really curious from this, is there any perfomance impact if we change to Libreboot? if so (boost windows performance at least up to 10%) then I’ll take it for my audio plugins set live. Really cool to see T440p Libreboot-ing here!

Zeon, (edited )

Not that I’ve tested, but the peformance gain would probably be slim. Overall, its running pretty smooth on my setup.

aBundleOfFerrets,

Modern OS pretty much takes completely over after the preboot is done. There will be very negligible difference in the os unless the old firmware was poorly configured (fairly common, admittedly)

kinda sacrilege lmao

  • removes and mostly disables firmware level spyware
  • runs spyware OS
OsrsNeedsF2P,

More people run Windows than Linux, and it would help Libreboot to have that adoption

@LainOfTheWired@lemy.lol avatar

Don’t you mean coreboot, as the point of Libreboot is that it’s a coreboot distro that’s as open and libre as possible

TropicalDingdong, to linux in FINALLY! Worlds First Mid-Range Libreboot GAMING PC! GTA V - Max Settings - 1440p (Dell T1650 Mobo)

Well… high end a generation or two ago, but props regardless.

I really wish LTT would have gone with a Linux chanel instead of a gaming channel. I’d love to see something like this featured there.

Zeon, (edited )

Thank you! Yes I agree, just changed the title to ‘mid-range’ instead, makes more sense. Anyways, yes I would love to get LTT on this!!

TropicalDingdong,

Still, great work.

There is a real revolution happening around linux and gaming.

I really think your work contributes to that, so thanks.

LTT is trash but a Linux channel would be nice for the community

TropicalDingdong,

It sure is trash, but damn if I ain’t a trash panda.

whats libreboot? does (what im assuming is) a bootloader really have that much impact on performance after the PC has finished booting?

It’s more a BIOS replacement, not a bootloader. It can have a slightly performance decrease due to lack of optimisation vs the proprietary BIOS.

But the real issue is that Libreboot is supported in a very specific list of motherboards, which means that you don’t get to run the latest hardware.

Last I checked the newer board that supported it was like 4 years old. It might have changed now, tho

Congrats bro! Sadly, the nvidia drivers are proprietary but eventually it might not need to be with the progress we are seeing on NVK. Almost 100 percent libre system poggers 😳
