They forget that they are also the people, and all they're doing is helping the corpos gain more power (make no mistake, the governments are a front for the corpos).

Ok, good. I thought I was the only one who saw this connection. It's not that the police are against facial recog or that they don't want the NFL or anyone else to use it, it's that they're aware of the privacy degradation it causes, and don't want themselves (the police workers of the event) subjected to it. It's fine if we, the attendees, are subjected to it, just not them. Oh, what a world.
Literally how hackers operate.
The hackers need to succeed once to get in. You need to succeed every time to not fail.
Sorry. Saw the opportunity and had to take it.
Them being a us company is a very valid concern, and one I share. If I were a dissident, I likely wouldn't use signal just because they're us based.
...people have suggested I can order glasses online. But how could I do that when the prescription looks like Greek?
Call them that year.
The whole point of my post/question is to learn to decipher doctor’s chicken scratch handwriting.
By calling them within a decent timeframe after the prescription is handed.
I think the whole point of the post was a bitchrant on how bad the handwriting is, and how much of a BS it is that they can't take the extra 15 seconds to make it legible. On which point, I'm 100% on board. It is BS and I have bitchranted to the doctors office about this same exact issue before, going so far as comparing my chicken scratch handwriting to calligraphy when compared to the script they provided.
That's interesting and not at all comforting lol... I have a positive cylinder on both eyes.
You're mistaken on the basis of your beliefs here. Signal only had two pieces of data around your phone number (joined datestamp, last online datestamp). This means that governments can't petition signal for any more information, since signal simply doesn't have it to give (by design).
Your point on fb is hilarious, because they do require it. They just don't require you to input it, because (1) they already have it and (2) you freely provide the missing pieces without them even asking. But, like I said earlier, if this goes against your posture, use something like Briar or Matrix or whatever. Choice exists, because everyone is different and has different postures.
I can't tell if you're joking haha
"cursive zeros" are only this annoying when they're the first number in the sequence. I don't know this doctor, so this person could have meant negatives.
Recently. Not 3 years ago. 3 years ago, they were active. You could have called then, instead of waiting to now. To each his/her own, though, and I hope you get what you need. I would recommend getting a new prescription at this point anyway.
This has "DMCA notice to a Russian music site" vibes. Basically, we do nothing. They have absolutely zero authority outside of Texas. If the instance is inside Texas's borders, that's a different story, but if the instance is located outside, it has no obligation to follow Texas's law. They can't do anything. They can't block Lemmy, because it's federated. They can't sue Lemmy, because it's federated. They have zero recourse, except for slam their feet on the ground and cry like a petulant child.
