    On top of that, backup and restore functionality is now fully supported in the web interface. Users can restore database backups directly from the Immich UI, either through the administration maintenance page or during onboarding of a new instance.

  • Canadian doctors say they’re losing 20 million hours a year to unnecessary paperwork

  • Here is the report: https://digitallibrary.cma.ca/media/Digital_Library_PDF/2026%20Losing%20doctors%20to%20desk%20work%20EN.pdf

    See "Appendix B: Provincial/territorial estimates of physician administrative burden and full-time equivalent gain" on page 37.

    For BC specifically, there was this recent article:

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-doctors-cut-digital-red-tape-slowing-care-9.7062339?cmp=rss

    Family doctors in B.C. are calling on the province to cut digital red tape, saying outdated systems and unnecessary paperwork are slowing patient care and increasing wait times.

    It comes as a new national study shows doctors across the province are spending three million hours per year handling administrative work.

    The latest report, released by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and the Canadian Medical Association, released as part of the Red Tape Awareness Week, found that doctors in B.C. spend nearly 10 hours a week on administrative work.

    It estimates that eliminating unnecessary paperwork in B.C. could free up an equivalent of more than 1,400 full-time doctors.

  • Since doctors/staff communicate to each other in a shorthand, and it would be very difficult to make all that internal communication written in an accessible way. We would likely need a separate team of people transcribing and adding context to all the notes.

    What might be a good first step is freeing up healthcare capacity to respond to patient's inquiries. After that, if we can set up some way of communicating the available resources to the person who FOI's the medical records, they can get in touch if they have questions.

  • Thank you for sharing the story. Hope you both find strength and clarity, regardless of what the future holds.

  • That's fair, your words are valid as well.

    I don't think this comic is necessarily heartwarming or wholesome. It's a short story that shares details from the author's life. I can see how it can give hope to some while making others feel worse.

    I'm sorry for your loss

    The choice to make Airdrop an Apple-only feature might have hurt adoption

    Title and thumbnail aside, the video was a positive review of GOS and was made with help from a GOS team member. I probably should have added the extra context before it got downvoted away 😄
