I'm not sure if it's an Android feature or Samsung feature, but try hitting the sideways hamburger menu (3 vertical lines button that's always on the bottom} and then holding your finger on the app you want to half screen. See if you notice anything happen... if not it's a Samsung thing.

I really need to get everything transferred over to CVS.

Maybe it's different where you live but here I would simply need to tell my doctor "hey actually I want to use CVS now. Can you send the prescriptions to CVS at the corner of X and Y Street? Thanks"

Then when you get to CVS you'll need to give them your ID, phone number, signature, etc. and they'll fill your script and that's your new pharmacy. You can also use multiple pharmacies (I use Walgreens for one script and Kroger for the rest). If your doctor is disorganized with their notes and sends it to Rite Aid next time, just call CVS and tell them you want to get them transferred and they will call them and handle it for you.

HOWEVER

There is a MASSIVE strike of pharmacy workers across the country now. Mainly CVS and Walgreens but I asked my (local branded) Kroger pharmacy tech yesterday when I picked up a prescription if it's affecting them and she said yeah they're short staffed and she's never seen the pharmacist so busy. So it's likely to be affecting all pharmacies for the next few weeks as they play catch up.

This is only a couple weeks after 75,000 Kaiser employees went on strike which makes me think it's an industry-wide issue and we'll see more issues in the near future. Support your local pharmacy people, if you still have one.

Also

Plugging GoodRx here. If you don't have drug insurance or your drug isn't covered,, they're a massively helpful cost-saving company. You just type in the drug name and dose and the pharmacist enters it like regular insurance. They save me a couple hundred each month.

Step 5. Profit!

I've confirmed this is no longer the case by registering a new account under a newly registered domain name (from WHOISDS 10/15/23) although I'll never be able to confirm the email because it wasn't my domain, but it did allow registration with the email and did not give the "try a new email" message.

This seems to be an ongoing problem at times, but when I tried I had registered my domain with Cloudflare over 24 hours before and the correct DNS including MX/DKIM/etc had been propagated worldwide (confirmed by dnschecker.org) and still got the "try a different email" error from Etsy when attempting to create a new account from a residential IP address.

I'm not alone: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=etsy+custom+domain+name+cant+register+site:reddit.com&ia=web

But I've confirmed you are correct, it sometimes has no issues and other times it does. The rest of them I also don't know currently, but in the past had that issue.

Edit: fixed DDG URL

~~Etsy~~. Themeforest / envato. Anything that uses istempmail.com and some similar services like https://github.com/micke/valid_email2. Netlify.

Any kind of "privacy" mail forwarders will be blocked because of their use by scammers. Many services only whitelist the major providers so even if you buy your own domain name to use as a private catch-all mail forwarder they'll deny registration.

Nope, that's about standard or even better than most, unless you're doing it full-time.

Unless you're making more than $16 each month (most are not making anywhere close to that) from Medium then you're just choosing another company to profit off of you. It's also more work and takes a lot (arguably, depending on your technical comfort level) more time because again... most people have nothing of much value to say. If you're an expert on your field or a great marketer, sure maybe you can make that $16 back and then some. Most can not. You'll know if you can, and you can look at your medium analytics and judge that and then do the Wix thing because........

Do you own the content that you publish on Medium?

Yes. Everything you publish on Medium, that is rightfully yours, belongs to you and you can republish, delete or choose to convert it into other forms without worrying about anything because Medium gives you the ownership. They have clearly explained this in the Medium terms of service.

Medium (company) might use your content to redistribute, translate or modify, and they need your permission for this. They need licensing for this because of the Medium rule; “You own your content”

Medium is like an ocean in part because it's so easy and free. There are some really spectacular fish and animals and rare finds and even shipwrecks full of gold and treasure. There is also a metric shit-ton of mediocrity.

A comparison could be made to YouTube or tiktok. Sure, you can make videos and upload them to your website and then share them. But there is immense value in the existing community in algorithm.

You're looking at it very black and white, as if you can't live in a peaceful more remote area but still visit with friends and have them over, socialize at work, etc. After all, if you live in a city you don't live with or talk to all the people you see, they're just there, noise in the background.

The thing about medium is that it's a trusted domain + mailing list + blog + search engine in one. All you have to do is sign up and start writing, for free.

Sure you can have your own domain, and spin up a cheap VPS which has WordPress or other blogging software, customize and setup the share buttons and theme and other plugins, pay MailChimp or another trusted relay to actually inbox your emails, use Google Analytics or some open source complex privacy-focused analytics, and then set up your advertisements or some scheme to contact you for article product placement if you actually want to make money from it. If you're really good and knowledgeable in your field. That's a lot of time invested and very expensive relatively (compared to free).

I think a lot of people just want to share their knowledge, getting paid pennies for page views comes second to that.

Dude, if you're struggling that much, I'll pay for a few months for you so you can try it out. $15 for 3 months, or do you have to pay yearly? I have no experience with medium but I get a ton of good info from medium articles and it's a great resource.

The ultimate shitpost, I guess.
