  Trump supporters don’t read, dude.

  Another strongly-worded letter will show ‘em.

  Good.

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

  Cool, I just won’t touch my wife ever again, thanks for the advice.

  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.

  Vasalgel is a better, proven, effective, safe, and easily reversible option.

  Why hasn’t it been approved yet?

  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.

  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 10% (just review what the software transcribed, make edits, and sign off).

  Yes, the executive branch under MAGA control will abide by rules and norms, obey the law, respect institutions, and heed court rulings. Checks and balances are holding strong!

  We are safe from Fascism, so don’t worry!

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Divided and conquered⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some are dumb, some are evil. Some are both, but none are neither.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit could soon punish users for upvoting violent content.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Reddit is now Fascist media. They will surpress talk of armed resistance, if (god forbid) it comes to that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Common Ground⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s how we got the Nazis to stop the first time around: we sat down with them over a cup of tea and expressed our unity with them.

  Oh no, wait, that’s not how we defeated Fascism, at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Common Ground⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We didn’t defeat the Nazis the first time with amnesty, conversation, and kindness.

  We defeated them by stabbing them, shooting them, and fire bombing their cities.

  We will have to do it again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, I’m torn on this one.

  We have two grocery stores in our exurban area.

  Kroger, as a corporation, contributes to politicians of both US parties in roughly equal measure. Less than ideal (zero contributions), but not too bad I guess. But, they do have an obnoxious customer loyalty card program. Boo!

  Publix, on the other hand, doesn’t have a customer loyalty card program at all. Yay! But, the corporation and their leadership contribute HEAVILY to the new Trumpy GOP, Matt Gaetz in particular. So, fuck them.

  I’m boycotting Publix. Lesser of two evils I guess.

  I really wish we had a locally-owned mom ’n pop grocery. I’d pay a premium for that.
