  • Interesting, I'm going to try and ban + unban your account in case that helps. You've likely already tried this but is the problem limited to a particular user/post/community or does it happen everywhere. Can you try downvoting this comment?

    I'll also tag a Piefed maintainer in this thread to see if there is something else we should be looking in to.

    That could be a reason for gaining the SD card and headphone jack. They already have a few phones with those features

  • Federal ‘axe the fax’ e-prescription service built with Telus Health to shutter after $250-million spent

    Jump

  • Darn :(

    Ottawa has cancelled PrescribeIT, a federal program built with Telus Health to replace the use of fax machines in sending prescriptions between doctors and pharmacists, after spending more than a quarter of a billion dollars on the initiative.

    Canada Health Infoway, a government-funded non-profit, launched PrescribeIT in 2017 as part of “axe the fax” initiatives to replace the older technology with digital tools in health care settings. In this case, it provided a secure digital way to transmit prescriptions from doctors’ offices to pharmacies.

    As of 2026, PrescribeIT is live in eight provinces and territories and being trialled in a ninth, Quebec. It has also seen thousands of pharmacies sign up, including major chains such as Loblaw Cos. Ltd.-owned Shoppers Drug Mart, Metro Ontario Inc. and Walmart Inc., and many hospitals, including Humber River Hospital and the Ottawa Hospital.

    Despite the number of providers on board, use of the service has remained low. Less than 5 per cent of prescriptions are sent electronically in Canada each year, according to reports from Canada Health Infoway and Telus Health.

    Canada Health Infoway began informing stakeholders in recent days that it was cancelling PrescribeIT. Two sources with knowledge of the program said it is expected to go offline mid-2026.

    The Globe and Mail is not identifying the sources because they were not authorized to share the information.

    I like the ideas here! One of the things that I tried to do when I did the sidebars on !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca, was to keep it as short and simple as possible. I was hoping to increase the chance that someone reads enough of it to be encouraged to subscribe and post. Looking at that one again now, there are some things that I would change to make it even shorter and cleaner.

    Long term, it would be nice to have a general help community for people to post questions in. That way, if someone is very lost, they can just post there and get some answers.

    The part I'm not sure about is if we should close the other platform specific communities. A generic community is good for those who don't know where they should post, but it might discourage other people who want to stay subscribed to it. New people might get confused by posts that discuss features that don't apply to the platform they are using, and experienced users might not like seeing a bunch of posts about a platform they don't have experience with. PieFed's feeds might help in the later case, where experienced people can create or subscribe to a feed of a bunch of help communities. That way it's still easy to answer questions, regardless of where new users decide to post them.
