It is where I’m from. Not even nurses have full access to the patient file. Confidentiality exists between doctor and patient exclusively, that’s why I’m so shocked.

Insane. Where I’m from they are not allowed to forward anything. Not even billing information to a third party payment provider without explicit written consent.

Why on earth is your doctor even allowed to share your personal situation with anyone? Did you consent to that? Else it’s a quite severe violation of your privacy.

I have two expensive suitcases now for that reason. I kept both.

Blocking instances works with the OG Lemmy, but they didn’t build the function into the app, you’d have to go through the website (that one time only).

Or can you block all users of a specific instance with Voyager?

The same crap is going around Instagram and other social media pages. Often when you check out the profiles, they have some link obscured via url shortener that resolves to some random porn site or flat out scam page.

They try to comment first to get upvotes I guess.

And that’s the reason why I don’t use it, I need specific websites that access my local time, and apparently whitelisting is not a thing.

Wow, that’s quite something. Hopefully a temporary thing due to spam issues or so…

Yeah Douyin is pushing educational content and is very fast to censor harmful stuff. Still full of garbage and racism though, just the sanctioned kind against people the government doesn’t like.

I’m using a VPN almost permanently, never had any issues there.

Are you sure it’s lemmy.world and not cloudflare or something?

One pin too many, the slot is not wide enough.

Dogs can eat peanuts just fine?

They shouldn’t be part of a regular diet since they are too high in fat, but the same applies to peanut butter. There’s no difference whatsoever.

I can’t see the option on my free account either, despite installing the most recent update earlier today.

BEAST, released in 1984, I must have played it in '88 I think. Was 4 at the time.

Uh, yes. Absolutely. The corona of the sun alone is about 5 million km thick and has temperatures of >1 million degrees C.

Crossing that distance takes about 0.3 light minutes. For a planet with a somewhat large mass traveling at a fraction of that (average travel speed of celestial objects is around 1000-10000 km/min, depending on its mass), it would take between 83 and 833 hours (3.5-35 days).

For reference, the distance from earth to moon is about 400000km (and takes a rocket 3 days to traverse), so the sun’s radius is about 12x that. Just put things into perspective.

Silicon vaporizes at 3650°C, iron at 3500°C. A couple days at a million degrees? Yeah it’s vaporized alright.

The planet would have burned to a crisp a long time before it even touched the sun. A waft of residual gases would maybe get close enough, which does exactly nothing.

It’s the equivalent of tossing a single grain of hail into an active volcano.

I live in Malaysia, and Islam is the dominant religion here. Yet every store has a “haram corner” where they sell alcohol and pork, and some smaller supermarkets are even completely non-halal by default.

And while I haven’t seen a muslim eating pork, I had a few beers with some on several occasions. And I haven’t seen or heard anyone praying, with the exception for Malacca city, which is apparently a bit of a stricter area.

My webhost allows passwords of all length and complexities in the password set field, but will strip $ and & on the login mask on their main website, like in the top right corner.

A failed login will automatically bring you to a dedicated login.xxx.yyy subdomain and prompt a password reset, but if you use the login mask there instead, the exact same password works.

I just don’t care. Just like I don’t expect people to care whether I like them.

Life’s too short to have an opinion on everything and anyone.

You need to declare new goods (i.e. stuff that looks like it could be intended for resale), not pre-owned stuff. Nobody will ask you to fill a customs declaration for your luggage.
