True, but also want to emphasize that this has worldwide implications, the NIH is a major contributor to clinical research. Probably more harmful if it produces garbage data than less data

How does the Strava do this with a phone?

Sounds like a reasonable policy. I thought they're data hoarders at first

I wish they'd offer a way to mitigate bias in the summary article since we can't see if in the actual study requires access to see if the researchers did

Veritasium (youtube) did a piece on this, can't remember which video it was, might've been the one on his thesis of how to teach STEM topics in videos

This assumes that the accessible information serves the truth

That's a good point, forgot about the occasional condescending tone of StackOverflow answers

Define "pleasant"

Are you doing the stuff in 3.5h?

Is Doublethink a more adequate term?

 

NewPipe, GrayJay, Invidious, all are unable t bypass an age restricted video. Tried the embedded trick, and also through a script extension with the bypass script on github. Non worked, any idea how to bypass without logging in?

E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPi-Xc5MF1I

 

Noticed two things recently: 1. Watching videos even at 1080p would sometimes takes dozens of seconds to buffer a few video sexonds. 2. The video quality is always on auto if you experience buffering, mid video all of a sudden the video gets pixelated no matter how many times I tell it to load X quality.

Is anyone else experiencing these issues? Their support haven't gotten back to me.

As we rushed into the Web 2 era, privacy was left behind. There was a naive view that users could consent to something that was impossible to understand. The result was tracking and monitoring of every activity.

I chatted to Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript, Co-Founder of Brave, and the Co-founder of Mozilla. We talk about how the privacy landscape evolved on the internet, and the future of our technology-driven world.

We need more tools that make it possible to not only maintain privacy, but to still have a user-friendly experience at the same time. We, as users, need to fight back and demand it.

Want to get the DLC and start over but I'm a little afraid to sink in too many hours since there's always improvements to be made

Edit: spelling

 

Want to share a link to a recent interview with Brave's co founder and which I found interesting. Is that something that fits this group or better posted elsewhere?

 

Proton has been uploading short 1.5 minute videos on their channel, and I feel like they lack substance and don't go over any of the topics meaningfully. Do you see this format resonating with the public? Should they be making more in-depth videos?

I'm guessing the demographic that follows Naomi Brockwell TV, for example, doesn't intersect much with the ones that might watch those shorts

 

It obviously protects against sharing data with e.g. your employer, but if a health provider chooses to make your data shareable, there are 2.2M authorized entities that can potentially access the data (identifiable health data).

Excerpt of the video description: Most people think that HIPAA means that their medical records are kept private. But what if I told you that HIPAA doesn’t protect your privacy at all?

This is our first video in a series about medical privacy, specifically looking at legislation that stripped individuals of the right to consent to medical data sharing.

We focus on what HIPAA actually is, how it came to allow our data to be shared without us even knowing, how we’ve been tricked into thinking we have privacy, and steps we can take to reclaim control of our medical data.

We deserve privacy in our medical system. Our health information is sensitive, and we should be allowed to protect it. Even while we fight for better medical privacy, please always prioritize your health.

Edit: changed the title to something that isn't misleading

 

I keep getting notified that I should upgrade my newpipe apk to a newer version through a url. F-Droid only has up to v0.25.2 but the latest is v0.26.1. It's been like that for >1w (the discrepancy), is this usual for F-Droid repos? Or something with my installation is wrong?

 

Lyft disabled scheduling rides through ride.lyft.com, I used that quite a bit but now in forced go use the app. The problem however, is that their app just doesn't work. It launches, says the Google API is necessary and then continues to close.

Does anyone know of an app that use their API that doesn't shut itself down without installing Google SDK?
