I've had a bowel obstruction. It's not fun. Worst pain in my life.

This is the part when I'm supposed to say I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I would though.

why are fax machines still used by medical systems? by stinerman in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I work with healthcare software so I can echo most of what you're saying.

The thing is the lowest common denominator is a fax (usually a fax server that creates a PDF or TIFF of what comes over the wire), so that's what people go with. It's the interoperability between different systems that's the problem. There's no one standard...except for faxes.

online dating is toxic

I've read some good evidence is that this is because women, especially zoomer and millennial women, are considerably more liberal than the men in their peer group. Historically, women have always been more liberal than men, but the difference between them has gotten extreme in the last 10 years. Being a Trump supporter is a deal-breaker for many single women.

Someone who repackages/patches free software has different incentives than upstream. So generally speaking, derivative browsers are more privacy friendly, have better features, etc.

That's not to say that upstream isn't important. It absolutely is! It's just that derivatives are generally better.

Yeah going to the grocery store was a 40 minute round trip growing up. You go there and buy as much as you can so you don't have to go again for two more weeks. Having a train will not be suitable for this type of trip.
