Planet Wasp-107b also has scorching temperatures, raging winds and the burnt-matches scent of sulphur dioxide

“Out Of Control”: Dozens of Telehealth Startups Sent Sensitive Health Information to Big Tech Companies – The Markup

An investigation by The Markup and STAT found 49 out of 50 telehealth websites sharing health data via Big Tech’s tracking tools

PSA

If you use a telehealth service, it is almost certainly selling the information you give it to big tech companies in a way that is personally identifiable.

As in, these services are literally telling Facebook, Google, etc that your first name + last name + email address visited a website to access mental, reproductive, or addiction-related healthcare. They are sharing the questionnaire answers that you provide and what medications you buy.

And it appears to be legal.

The Most Remote Emergency Room: Life and Death in Rural America

In the poorest, sickest, and most remote parts of America, the choice is increasingly to have a doctor on screen or no doctor at all.

"There are 15 doctors and 30 emergency nurses who rotate through shifts at the virtual hospital, and while all of them have trained for years inside regular ERs, nothing compared to the intensity of the industrial park. During one 24-hour shift, they often saw more critical cases on screen than most ER doctors encountered in a month: an average of one severe heart attack each shift, one suicide attempt, two pediatric emergencies, three traumatic injuries, four intubations, and five patients whose hearts had already stopped beating and needed immediate resuscitation."

Mumbling "enshittification" every time I attempt to do something normal (pay for a service) and I am beset by Difficulties (having to sign up for yet another account & install another app to get on a customer service chat & avoid a phone call for the chat rep to tell me "have you tried (website)?" ( side enshittification: my password organization app popping up aggressively to let me know I don't have a password for this thing I am currently signing up for yet))

Strontium Dog in Hell Planet! A cut-out game that came in weekly parts inside Starlord No. 4 to 7 in 1978. I had totally forgotten about this. I don't think the three other characters ever appeared anywhere else (before or since).
