otter, to privacy in Using Disinformation Like A Pro

Is this just about lying on data forms?

John Smith 1900-01-01

I’d rather we use some other term for it instead of disinformation. Even if the official definition works, it’s unnecessary confusion

Sounds fun!

If you make a sample post it might help, I’m a bit unsure what it should look like

otter, to asklemmy in Does anyone have any good suggestions for positive themed communities?

A lot of the animal ones are pretty good, ex. !animalswithjobs

There’s also !goodnewseveryone , but that’s similar to upliftingnews

I’m not familiar with the companies mentioned, but have you tried talking to the doctor or the clinic? They may be able to provide you with better guidance, or tell you about other machines that are compatible with your treatment plan. Even if they don’t know about the privacy aspect, that might give you a shorter list to follow up on.

My guess (or hope) is that this is the option that the average person finds convenient, which is why the doctor recommended it. There should be other options that the doctor / clinic knows about, especially because an IOT CPAP machine is a fairly new thing.

Doctors modify treatment plans fairly often, even for things like patient comfort, and bringing this concern to their attention could also change what they recommend to future patients.


Personal thoughts unrelated to your case: This is a growing concern with healthcare technology and I think we need more attention on the harms. “Your insurance company will use it against you” is something that most people will understand.

Followup question 2: What are some questions you have that you want to see done by someone? (In case this prompts someone to think of a channel)

otter, to asklemmy in What made up board/card game would be hard to sell to the public either by name or by concept?

Isn’t that how the game works? You buy everything from the bank, but at least the bank doesn’t take advantage of that monopoly

This is an awful situation and I hope the people caught up in this make it out ok.

As respectfully as possible, I’m curious what the service and speeds are like for that price

otter, to privacy in I deleted all my post from my reddit account, can they still monetize them?

I’m not sure about what the backup schedule and stuff has to do with it, but I don’t think it helps much:

  • deleted posts don’t come up in Google searches after a while
  • deleted comments might be counted in the comment count on a post someone navigates to (not sure), so at most the post will initially appear to have more content which might get someone to click

Marginal change at best, it’s probably not worth your time thinking about it

otter, to asklemmy in What is a rainy day meal you enjoy?

Yea a friend really likes it. I think the big stores carry it too but for sure smaller independent ones do in the city

This is one that came to mind when writing the question 😄
