All it is going to take for AI to go away is when it makes a serious mistake that injures or kills a patient. The wrongful death and negligence lawsuits would be in the high millions or even more if it is a young child. In my opinion, AI is a very bad idea. I would sooner put my trust in a human being than AI. I can see AI being a tool to assist a doctor in making a diagnosis, but certainly not to replace doctors or reduce their numbers.

I am kind of - no, I am really - anti-capitalist. In some evil sort of way, if the hospital ‘boss’ decides to replace enough medical professionals with AI and robots and this causes a patient to die from inadequate care, then not a small part of me believes that the hospital boss should pay with their own life. Yeah, I have an anger management problem when it comes to the wealthy.

That’s truly all it is! There is nothing of value that can be learned on LinkedIn. It’s bootlickers dry humping the wealthy.

If I had a LinkedIn account, they could have at it. LinkedIn is capitalist pr0n.

There’s rumoured to be an immigration window that will be opened if a Christo-Fascist gets elected. This should be in the Scandinavian countries.

I wish I were financially and mentally in a position to take advantage of this program because life in the United States is shit.

Have you looked at Krita and Blender?

This is my take on it as well. My phone is for basic quick communication. My real productivity happens on my laptop and desktop.

It’s honestly not because you have to watch shows (more or less) on their schedule. The true advantage of streaming is that you can easily pause and rewind.

I use BTRFS simply because I run a rolling distro of Linux. For the average user, I don’t think it is quite as necessary but the snapshots are nice. Of course, you could use timeshift to make snapshots as well.

6 months now and they love it.

I like Nemo as well!

LOL! Not necessarily. I got three of my friends converted to Linux. They’re running Linux Mint

Well, then we are facing two bubbles at the same time: AI and cyber currencies. Once both those bubbles burst, the fallout is going to make the dot-com era bubble look like small suds by comparison.

Hmmmm … that’s definitely disappointing!

It’s shenanigans like this that make me never want to buy a Canon or HP product. If I need a high end inkjet for printing photographs, it’s Epson all day. For anything else, I swear by a good used bulletproof Brother.

This frustrates the shit out of me but I have a feeling it has everything to do with mindshare. Windows just has the majority of the mindshare and a lot of decisions about information technology are not necessarily made by technically savvy people. Even technically savvy people make poor choices. I had a director once tell me that he prefers proprietary software to open source because it gives him somebody to sue if the software fails. Obviously he is neither a lawyer nor much of a reader because the terms of use and conditions basically indemnify the software company.

Linux and BSD are superior in almost every way. You could literally run an entire organization on Linux Mint as the desktop. Even before Linux Mint was a thing, I had a contract job supporting a rollout of CentOS to the desktop at a small publishing company and this was back in 2005. This company did absolutely everything systems related on CentOS. If this company could do it 18 years ago on CentOS, I can only imagine it is going to be even easier today.

Sweet! That is good news. Given the power efficiency of ARM CPUs when compared to Intel and AMD, well, there just really is no comparison.

I love this! I just cannot wait for the day that I can build a RISC or ARM64 desktop in the same way we would an Intel or AMD one. I realize though that this is still a ways out.

I hope they stick with it and not go back to Microsoft. No doubt that there will be a learning curve and some growing pains but this is ultimately for the best. I wish them all of the success!

Eh, I’ll buy that but it still seems like an awful lot to go wrong and break.
