Use Firefox without AI and don’t use google search engine

No, and they’re a huge waste of ressources. We just mustnt use this as a reason to reject AI as a whole.

AI is shaking up everything. My professors are constantly using it for their research to get more accurate simulations, for example. Instead of tweaking parameters for ages an AI tweaks them live while the simulation is running.

Chat bots / LLMs are overhyped and used for lots of things they shouldn’t do but AI is here to stay.

That system really sounds tedious.

Here blood results are sent to your “Hausarzt” (some doctor near you who you always go to for smaller stuff but also things like this) so he can decide what you should do (he knows you better than some random company).

X-Rays are instantly discussed with you (instantly may include waiting for an hour in the hospital). Sometimes additionally also sent to your “Hausarzt”.

Pharmacies simply do offer your meds, if they have trouble getting them they contact other pharmacies but that was only the case during covid.

(And all that is paid for in tax money)

She can simply save her doctors as contacts

I prefer Tuta for very private stuff (medical etc). But I’m mainly using purelymail since it costs 5€ a year. It’s in the USA but still good enough.

It really does track (you), which is why I’m abandoning my >20 y/o gmail address

Steam? My local music instrument producer? High class restaurants? There are some but not many.

Yes, the only thing that ever breaks for me are my nvidia drivers (specifically if there arent new drivers for a new kernel yet). Sometimes I don’t roll back and just keep it, but often I’m using local AI for uni stuff so I roll back to fix them.

There’s also Slowroll which is Tumbleweed but like 1 week behind in updates for a stable experience, and there’s some immutable flavour that I forgot the name of.

I’m using Tumbleweed, the one issue of rolling release (things occasionally breaking) is not an issue since OpenSuse natively supports snapshots (and automatically makes a snapshot before and after every update).

Something breaks? Reboot -> Boot from read-only snapshot -> selecting the one from before the update -> in terminal: snapper rollback -> done. Update again 2d later.

See for example the German communist party telling people to vote for the NSDAP to accelerate the collapse, just to get killed.

Opensuse is great, been daily driving it for 1.5 years with no issues (issues were solved by booting an old snapshot and rolling back, updating again 2d later)

I haven’t played with email extraction to my own server yet (their server is perfectly syncing my devices and has basic searching) but regarding limits: Purelymail’s advanced pricing is 4€/year + usage (very fair prices for usage). So you aren’t hitting limits. Theres a calculator on their advanced pricing site that lets you input numbers and tells you how much you’d pay.

Given I don’t need too much privacy for generic E-Mails (I use my Tuta mail address for that) I’m using purelymail with advanced pricing for ~5€/year. (If I cared more about privacy in emails I’d use Tuta for 3€/month)

Currently nearly 5 year old used graphics cards are being sold for their initial price. Not sure how much they’ll get cheaper…

Sad but true. I hope until this happens mobile Linux is a serious alternative.

Company A enshittifies

Options:

1. Go to company B and trust them not to enshittify
2. Embrace open source (for example GrapheneOS)

The choice is clear for me.

(btw you can run all android apps on OS built on the android open source project like GrapheneOS or LineageOS. Banking apps also work perfectly on GrapheneOS, don’t know about LineageOS, not using it)

Workers can and should do this too.

I got that, I was referring to the first panel (adjective noun).

space, noun, outside earth’s atmosphere

I thought this was the meaning of space in space billionaires? Billionaires who pour a lot of money into going to space?
