And we don’t even use them effectively to protect our rights.

I have fond memories of self-hosting a qmail setup for a long time, then eventually migrating to a postfix configuration, back in the day.

Keeping up with spam filtering finally did me in.

In this particular use case, no. The LLM not only transcribes, but it summarizes, drafts, and categorizes as well (ICD-10 codes, cross-referencing medical history, etc.).

Very useful for overworked and under-resourced healthcare workers.

Look, AI bolt-ons to existing software and processes often do suck. But this specific instance is a real positive use-case.

Every technology has a place where it’s useful - with LLMs, it’s just mostly been “let’s throw it at everything.” In most cases, it’ll fall away as useless, and a few cases, it’ll stick where it really adds value.

AI is a mixed bag, and a whole lot of hype.

But voice-to-text auto-generation of patient notes during dr visits will be a huge win for the medical profession. Data entry by doctors and nurses will be cut down 10x (just review what the software transcribed, make edits, and sign off).

Ok.

But, in Mac OS, Windows, and Linux, all three of which I work in regularly, I open up a terminal and type stuff in it, open up applications in windows and work in them, and copy and paste between them.

Really, any DE can handle this stuff. Not sure what all the fuss is about otherwise. But it’s all good.

It’s wild to me how GNOME evokes such strong opinions in folks. It really is a love it or hate it kind of deal (I’m in the “love it” camp).

I wonder why that is. I like KDE ok, but it doesn’t elicit a strong emotion from me. KDE works fine, I just really like GNOME.

There must be something about GNOME in particular that some people love, and others hate.

Good.

I got banned for saying we should punch Nazis, and calling Musk a cunt.

I regret nothing.

Black comedy/gallows humor is a thing.

You don’t need to be so uptight. Nobody’s actually advocating for the murder of children here.
