They could turn on end to end encryption and the fact that they aren’t doing that is telling imo.

Signal is E2EE encrypted (similar to Telegram’s secret chats but probably better) so it’s less vulnerable. If people know about it they can ask Signal to ban you, but they can’t just passively spy on everything.
That said, XMPP is better still IMO.
(Edit: centralization isn’t as big a problem as you might think with Signal. The wealthy own the whole world now. You can’t set up somewhere outside their jurisdiction, you can only stay ahead of them as they force people to stop hosting you. Sending a takedown to Signal is the same as sending it to your hosting provider, do not fool yourself. )
I am not a lawyer but as far as I know: it super isn’t. It’s also illegal for compounding pharmacies to make, where I live.
Imagine not having 70,000 followers. Fate worse then death.
Man, in lots of places the you can’t even get the name brand so at least there’s that.
I have heard, don’t know how true it is, that hospital pharmacies have first shot at the supplies so they’re less affected by stuff like this. For what that’s worth.
It’s funny because a lot of people really like Vyvanse (that is: lisdexamphetamine) better than the alternatives. It was only made because the DEA wanted fewer people to take regular amphetamines and then a bunch of people responded well to it and the DEA went “wait! Not like that!”
Anyway, it’s on generic now. The only reason there’s a shortage is the DEA.
(Before you say “I’m not in the US and we have a shortage, too!” the drug companies killed all their production lines because the DEA basically gave them an excuse to try to force people off Vyvanse and onto meds that were still under patent.)
Incredible video.
You can fly to a developed country and still get treatment cheaper.
Yeah, one of the meds they talk about making is Vyvanse. That’s having a serious national shortage right now due to a combination of the DEA and corporate greed. It’s illegal for compounding pharmacies to make it but there’s no technical reason they couldn’t. Same for lots of this stuff.
It’s not even funding the expensive treatments, it’s not charging a 1000x markup hurting their bottom line. It’d be one thing if it were genuinely expensive medicine (i would still propose a distribution method other than “capitalism”) but it’s not.
If these meds were available for a reasonable price i don’t think we’d be seeing groups like this.
Guillotine all the CEOs and venture capitals.
I mean it’s still not an edge case. It’s just not.
Like, insert that “That’s not how this works, that isn’t how any of this works” meme here.
It’s not a slur, is the thing. Not any more than “transgender” is and, in fact, less so.
They know this but they are pretending otherwise, as if Elongated Muskrat were a power mad 1990s forum moderator.
Try typing the word “cisgender” into Twitter.
I have no dreams that i can achieve in this life and my heart grew cold long ago, but life is still getting better for me anyway. I’m still somewhat optimistic about the world. We don’t have to give up just because things suck. On the contrary: that’s when we can do the most in the world.
Fake speeding tickets as a service…
The fact that they won’t allow users to uninstall it should suggest some things about their motives.
“High T alpha males” oh good, they invented a new gender again and it sucks.
If i remember correctly the justification was pretty much “trust me, bro”.
Unfortunately, churches have pretty much had free reign to say whatever they want and keep their tax exempt status since Bush.
