No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it?
7·1 month agoUnfortunately, the answer is to move to a country that’s not a shit hole and has universal healthcare. The next best is to do what you can to survive while you try to convince people to vote with you for a gov’t that will give you universal healthcare.
Right now? I can’t imagine what you’re going through and I really am sorry I can’t help directly. Your system is broken. Your gov’t has failed you. I really, truly and honestly, wish you the best and hope you find the help you need.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away."
23·1 month agoSoon enough social apps will use your selfie cam to track your eyes. Ads will only play when your eyes are engaged and pause if you’re not looking at the screen. Oh boy.
Same with TVs, the built in camera will see who’s watching, and Netflix, etc, will stop streaming when it sees 5 people watching when your account is only set for 4. Either one person leaves the room or you upgrade to continue watching.

Technology@lemmy.world•Colorado proposing Bill to move age verification to Operating System rather than web siteEnglish
1·1 month agoI dunno, the language suggests to me it can be worked around. It states age verification to make the OS account. Linux doesn’t require accounts. This seems to target Microsoft and Apple account creation (since you won’t be able to use the OS without one) and of course Google will implement account requirements on Android

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I never see them because they aren't legally allowed on the road.
6·1 month agoThat seems really odd to me. Generally people do at least a bit of research about a vehicle purchase, especially that expensive. I’m not even referring to Musk shit, just vehicle buying in general. Anyone looking up anything about the cost/value of a cybertruck would pretty quickly get an abundance of info about it being a bad buy without getting into any of the Musk stuff.
I guess if your boss’ husband just has the money and liked the look/what it said it’d do, then fair enough. Just seems strange to knowingly buy a lemon.

Technology@lemmy.world•The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parentsEnglish
8·1 month agoGoogle got exactly what they wanted out of it though. Get 'em young using and feeling comfortable with Google hardware and software, and trapped in the walled garden early. Most are not likely to change to another brand/OS later in life.
No way! His character is rough in the first few seasons but he later becomes the best character by far. Schwimmer nailed the role and got the best lines and situations in the entire show. The older I got, the further I got down the “Ross is the worst character to Ross is the best character” road.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a much bigger threat than initially presented?
24·1 month agoDigital age verification. It is not “to protect the children”. I saw it for what it was right away but literally everyone I talked to about it thought it sounded really positive.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does postal voting favour the American Democratic Party?
1·2 months agoThat’s nuts. I hope Americans can pull up from this nosedive, even if the time to get back flying is over and all they can get is a controlled crash.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does postal voting favour the American Democratic Party?
1·2 months agoReally? In Canada it’s law to allow employees time during the work day to go vote. That’s not the case in the US?

I guess snow and ice leaves a lasting emotional scar like mustard does. Sandwiches and snowballs scar you for life.
