A jury just found Google guilty on all counts of #antitrust violations stemming from its dispute with #Epic, maker of #Fortnite, which brought a variety of claims related to how Google runs its app marketplace. This is huge:
If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:
Got a replacement blower #ECM#motor from northamericahvac.com - had to order from the States. Installed it, and ... furnace was still throwing an #error code meaning "incorrect #signal from ECM motor" once, then "no signal from ECM motor" forever after.
After double-checking, I saw the part number on the box didn't match what I'd ordered - but that turned out to be a red herring. The box number was for the unprogrammed motor.
In light of #Bandcamp being sold to #Songtradr, workers being locked out of internal systems by #Epic, and layoffs looming, @bandcampunited needs all our support.
Today's #BandcampFriday may possibly be the last, so if you have some disposable income now would be a great way to support independent artists that rely on the platform!
In der #Praxis hocken und warten. Was macht ihr heute noch so?
Ich habe mit meinem Kranken-Hintern vorhin an meinem #SteamDeck gefuchtelt. Nun muss ich nur noch die #Savegames von #Epic auf dem Deck laden und ich bin zufrieden, irgendwelche Ideen? Abseits von du kannst das im Menü anhaken.... xD
All you #FOSS and #Fediverse people that having been evangelizing this place as the best solution to social media have an opportunity.
The music industry draws a lot of social attention and with #Epic selling #Bandcamp off to Songtradr, it's probably just a matter of time before they ruin it or shut it down. A lot of musicians might need a place to land, be nice if there was a ready built alternative if/when it happens, if someone is savvy enough to work on that
Bandcamp as a platform has been so important for the indie music scene. It's been the gateway for numerous smaller artists to get their work out there, and it offered a way of discovering and supporting creators that made it unique.
Not sure what comes next, and even if this news is not exactly surprising after Epic decided to sell it, it's still sad and disappointing to see this happen.
This is for a new product called AutoNotes.ai that will create progress notes for you for about $14+ per month.
I am tentatively interested in this and signed up for a free trial.
I have concerns (below) but am hopeful this continues to improve.
The system has no BAA agreement for HIPAA because they claim not to collect any PHI. This may be true.
Their terms of service and privacy policy may be amended at any time and the only notification provided will be on their website. I am weary of this now that I have been burned by such stealth changes by one of my own BAA subcontractors.
Information for each client will have to be entered from scratch each time as they do not store data about clients. For the free demo, it takes about 60 seconds to generate each note. You then cut and paste it into your EHR.
While they claim to collect no PHI, they do send SOME data of SOME sort to several tracking systems and data aggregators. At best, they are tracking YOU -- the clinician. At worst -- they may be sending some of the data you enter to data aggregators which -- hopefully -- do not have data from other sources to be able to pin down the individual clients you are describing.
DATA IS SEND TO THE FOLLOWING OUTSIDE TRACKING COMPANIES ON BOTH THEIR DATA INPUT PAGE & THE GENERATED NOTE PAGE:

The following is an example of the note generated for a fake client with Acute Stress Disorder:
%GREEN = IN WHAT I REPORTED%
&RED = INVENTED BY AI, NOT REPORTED BY CLINICIAN&
BLACK = I HAVE NO STRONG OPINION
Subjective:
Client &reported increased levels of stress, particularly in the& %workplace. Described experiencing anxious mood and labile mood, but was able to demonstrate appropriate behavior and normal speech throughout the session. Client was self-reflective% and &engaged& %during the 45-minute video session%, %which allowed for a comprehensive exploration of the current challenges they face&. The client recognized the need to address these issues in order to improve their overall well-being.
Objective:
During the session, several areas were discussed. &Client was open and honest& about %feeling overwhelmed and stressed at work, further precipitating their anxiety. They were able to identify specific work situations that were particularly difficult for them to navigate. It was noted that the client was able to maintain self-reflective behavior during discussions,% which will be beneficial for making progress in therapy.
Assessment:
%The client is showing signs of progress in therapy, taking active steps to address and work through their challenges with stress and anxiety.% Their willingness to participate and self-reflect in session indicates a strong commitment to achieving their therapeutic goals. %Current therapeutic interventions, which are directed at helping the client build skills and coping strategies, are having a positive impact on the client's progress.%
Plan:
%In order to lower workplace stress and continue advancing in therapy, the client agreed to set specific objectives for themselves. They plan on talking to their manager about ways to manage their workload or address any outstanding concerns. Additionally, they will begin practicing meditation four times a week during their lunch breaks, as a means of managing stress and promoting relaxation.% &Continued exploration of these& and other stress reduction &strategies will be a focus in future sessions.&
Hmmm... My take-away is that this needs more work (that's fine); I want to know why they have to report to LinkedIn, Facebook, Gravatar, and Word Press while I'm logged in and what they report; and the system IS inventing minor elements that I did not tell it to add. For example, while I reported the client was overwhelmed and stressed, I did not say the client was open and honest about it. I told the system the client was "progressing", but never said that increased levels of stress were reported in this session.

830 people confirmed to be losing their jobs and another 250 leaving the company as Epic is also selling SuperAwesome and Bandcamp.
A ridiculous number of talented people, including folks who worked on Fortnite, Fortnite: Save the World, and Fall Guys are out of work, because according to Epic's CEO, billionaire Tim Sweeney, "for a while now, we've been spending way more money than we earn".
To call this a terrible turn of events on multiple levels would be one massive understatement.
Whenever these big shitty corp things happen, eg layoffs, I kinda loose interest in buying AAA games in general. Which is inverse to what the devs themselves would need but that's how I feel.
Anyone else having that emotional response? #epic#layoffs#ea#gamedev
Although my master was disguised,
Alone of all I recognized
Him, wagged my tail and pricked my ears,
And having waited twenty years,
I saw the teardrop in his eye,
And so at last laid down to die,
On flea-infested piles of dung—
In his long song my name is sung.
Best moment of the Elon interview, besides the fuck you, was „…GO FUCK YOURSELF,
is that clear? I hope it is.
Hi Bob (Iger), he’s here in the audience.“
Trying to set up two users on a single #NintendoSwitch to play #Fortnite (at different times). Each Switch user has its own Nintendo acct and each has its own #Epic acct. The first user I've played for years. The second (which I added to online family membership I might not have needed?) I linked the user acct to Nintendo, linked Epic to Nintendo, tried to play but Fortnite says Epic "account already registered". Are two even poss on a single device?! Why is this so awkward?! 😿 #gaming#gamedev

It's an incentive for devs to put their back catalogues to EGS, after they just laid off 800 employees because they spend too much money. Is it just me, or does everyone besides Epic know what the problem is with EGS?
