Or me the other day when I Inhaled my own spit in my otherwise empty mouth, sending me into a coughing fit, which made everyone around me look at me like I had COVID instead of just having an inability to function at a basic level.
So if you have a good mix of friends who kept/ripped their CD/Vynil collection or bought songs from their favorite indie musicians, you can end up with a pretty extensive library. This makes it a decent (and legal) alternative to sneaker-net piracy.
Isn’t that still not considered legal?
Legality aside, this is the huge barrier of entry for most people, I’d think.
It’s an ActivityPub protocol implementing fediverse platform. It has the equivalent of lemmy’s communities which it calls magazines, but it also has microblogging similar to mastadon mixed in.
As a result they sort of work together which is awesome, but also you get stuff like what OP is asking about.
"there are only two drugs common in this area, fentanyl and methamphetamine, and she doesn’t show signs of either, so it’s my medical opinion that she simply drank too much.”
This is an unfathomably stupid statement to the point that I hope it’s just something they misremembered the fireman as having said.
Someone that stupid shouldn’t be operating a garden hose let alone talking to people in distress.
GHB is almost as common as meth in San Francisco, as is Ketamine.
GHB could definitely cause the described experience. Overdosing on it is horrendous and terrifying. I’m sad to hear that someone put her through this and that our city resources didn’t listen to her.
I’m also baffled by the claim that doing a standard issue drug test would take too many resources, since we have a for profit medical system. She, or her insurance, would have been responsible for paying the full, inflated, cost of those test. It’s also not a resource intensive test, and there are multiple potential ways to test for it.
The bigger issue in this situation is that GHB is processed in the body quickly, so if you’re in this type of situation it is important to test sooner and not wait.

Anyway, this is just so bizarre to hear about in San Francisco.
The only part I’m not surprised by is the cops refusing to do their jobs. That is the San Francisco I know all too well, unfortunately.
I just expect more from our firefighters and emergency medical professionals. Especially about drugs for crying out loud.
This requires local access to do and presently an hour or two of uninterrupted processing time on the same cpu as the encryption algorithm.
So if you’re like me, using an M-chip based device, you don’t currently have to worry about this, and may never have to.
On the other hand, the thing you have to worry about has not been patched out of nearly any algorithm:
