It's official. After 3 months of back and forth, a major medical provider has elected to drop me as a patient for not having a Google or Apple device.
It is unclear if this is legal, but it is very clearly discriminatory and unethical.
Any tech journalists or lawyers interested interested in this?
I would like to do anything I can to ensure this never happens to anyone else.

Being complicit to #war crimes is not reduce consumption... and instead supporting it...
Being complicit to #war crimes, is the normal people paying for it again and again, while humanity death and destruction culture is dancing all around us.
It doesn't make it easy for people to protest it... but you can reduce consumption... unless you're supporting it.

#RMS is/was right... even if it seem 'extreme' from any other perspective, we can't let them in any further from this proven aggressive environment...

FAQ
=====
█Where are my files sent?
Your files never touch our server. Instead, they are sent directly from the uploader's browser to the downloader's browser using WebTorrent and WebRTC. This requires that the uploader leave their browser window open until the transfer is complete.
█Can multiple people download my file at once?
Yes! Just send them your tempalink.
█How big can my files be?
Chrome has issues supporting files >500 MB. Firefox does not have any issues with large files, however.
█What happens when I close my browser?
The tempalink is invalidated. If a downloader has completed the transfer, that downloader will continue to seed to incomplete downloaders, but no new downloads may be initiated.
█Are my files encrypted?
Yes, all WebRTC communications are automatically encrypted using public-key cryptography.
█My files are sending slowly!
Transfer speed is dependent on your network connection.
With 1 #transistor, I can make an inverter, a switch, or a not-very-good amplifier.
With 2 transistors, I can make a differential amplifier, a cascode, or a latch.
With 3 transistors, I can make a fairly good (Wilson) current mirror, or a Lorenz chaotic system.
20,000 transistors made a #computer that navigated spacecraft to the Moon and back.
But 10,000,000,000 transistors make a computer that's brought to its knees if it tries to interpret the Javascript used to load one #ad on a web page.

The "Who are you?" Question - Fediverse Challenges / Problems (again)...
What do you answer back when a person replies "Who are you?" after replying to their posts initially sharing your view with them. My replies are on some interesting questions based on their topic and then instead of any sharing or Hi... I am occasionally getting this reply instead?
"Who are you?"
I mean what do that mean?!
I could assume they've just seen the avatar and think it's a faker or sarcastic attempt at online social,
Should I ask for clarity knowing I'd prefer not to give my NAME. DOB online etc (so I wouldn't be able to really answer as I'm more low key so let them down or have to further explain why)?
Or something else (Please tell me some practical social strategy as I feel it's a lose:lose game of explaining what isn't as simple online but still share the same about what they wrote / the topic !)
Can I even share with those that want my name and position (if those types of things are their question finally?)

Accept Human Imperfection as a type of Human "Perfection" ?
If you can't accept imperfections or be open about it and continue to find a better cycle, then not much might change for the good comes from that cycle / process / routing etc... and even bad might grow instead.

Circular people create problems / make themselves victim with their own short methods and ways that doesn't help them with others...
Circular people are often short-sighted and don't listen. It's been my experience not everyone...
Many good people with the opposite too BUT I do want to say there is a pattern and to pluck it like an unwanted weed from the ground!
Generally common with 'busy' computer-intensive folk (not all by far). But those that will spend time and have no time (with computers) and lack seeing the humanism that will win all things back / win the wars... But nope they *choose* to be victim from genuinely interested people or get in a loop to try prove you as bad.
Many can call them "stupid" "unintelligent" etc especially when they call you names or can't be bothered to read *any* part of your bio! This sentence is directed to ---> @eriner but without hate... just chose to call me out with nothing to back it up and then I still didn't go away. Nothing major but bad for Fediverse.
People can create themselves as a victim, *creating* our problems. Maybe it's a form of "I have to be resistant in order to progress" or assuming a high guard from seeing all the bad in the world but measurably it isn't bad and people would know about it.
If Matt or someone can't even read your bio - not even a few paragraphs - then there's something wrong and with the nicest of people that's actually worse than shitposter as it masks bad / unfavourable community behaviour. He's a server guy (confirming my profiling) so I guess automatically you can react like this with any responsibility. I know some people think "I don't need them so whatever" which isn't great and I'm just saying here without trying to police it.
Things continue just because a person contacts and they insist in their own circular ways to both your detriment.
Truthfully I guess if you're more busy than I am it's more tempting to not treat people well or make excuse - but since I have time I think it's worth documenting a bit... who else would do this and if I see #humanism more often then I'd stop saying to #Fediverse NOT this please.. and give example too (it's not name and shame, but it is a shame for 'mankind' let's say)
Anyway... Neutrally spoken it's a "circular" person and short self-induced thing (imagine people react badly just from someone interested in their work for example).
It's self-perpetuated and self-feeding (imagine the dragon eating it's own tail).
For the rest of the people on Fefiverse it's natural to want to magnetise to others, join them somewhat, be part of their life, a movement, become better in one's self, participate... many things not weird!!... but blocking people seems 'too much' even from 2/3 messages and importantly without much reasoning *together* (more 1 way stuff like Capitalism would talk down to you or at you).
Then calling me "AI" - I mean why even use time for that? (have to ask yourself and really wasn't that much more said)
People can make themselves a Victim + Create the problem when there wasn't one in the first place!
And then the shame of life not to communicate genuinely with genuine people (I'm sure he does but why not with me!).
Sad but don't be that person.

"Free School" is a term for a movement born from the 1960's / 70's using educational living & learning practice towards #Caring & #DIY with all others (all at the same time - not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or person who is a #compartmentalised person ignoring others in other fields). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...
Posts are 1-line #Notes and #Quotes that links all other things (it's all relative).
Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating & #DIY Solutions 🔁

#FreeSchool ➡ Increment Talking + Peacefully solve everything.
TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
Trust comes from "slowly but surely"... Doesn't have to be all-in, but peace doesn't come from one-way short messaging on 'social' Mastodon either - collecting memes and cats only is limited!
Remember we need develop better humans as well as 'develop' code on computers etc.
☮ Peace needs more... even to save all types of cats!
Get in touch - I'm someone that cares for everything because it's all human-related...
Human #chats welcome - I using #Jitsi audio chat which uses JUST browser (ANY PLATFORM + 2minutes to enter !)
(i.e. no-install / no account / no google / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough, etc!) Really the best out there - any platform / device! Instant audio chat !
Just ask for a link and prepare a few topics!
#AltText used (when I remember).
FREE WORK - I do free audio and video editing (anything considered - just ask).
Again - Creating Trust needs a bit of trust given "slowly but surely"... not all-in... being relaxed about it... but has to be more - 'working' like a 2nd job towards peace because your job isn't going to do it / it's now allow by State to get there! War increases prices etc ☮
So do "peace" as a side-job like it was your real job in the world, parallel to the Capitalism (Trap) you (we) were born into. We have to accept that and fight out of that and not be comfortable in it.
Heart and Soul all the way.
