Cool, I just won’t touch my wife ever again, thanks for the advice.
- Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service 1 day ago:
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?
- Comment on Your Doctor's Screen Time Is Hobbling Health Care. 4 days ago:
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).
- Comment on Trump says U.S. will 'get Greenland,' military force may not be needed but not ruled out 5 days ago:
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!
- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 1 week ago:
Good.
- Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report. 1 week ago:
I got banned for saying we should punch Nazis, and calling Musk a cunt.
I regret nothing.
- Comment on Parents turn to smartwatches for their children amid global phone screen-time pushback 1 week ago:
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 2 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. 4 weeks ago:
Reddit is now Fascist media. They will surpress talk of armed resistance, if (god forbid) it comes to that.
- Comment on Common Ground 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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.
- Comment on Apple pulls iCloud end-to-end encryption feature for UK users after government demanded backdoor 5 weeks ago:
You can, on certain devices, install /e/os/ and deGoogle everything.
There’s a new market for preinstalled devices popping up, too: cybernews.com/…/murena-degoogled-pixel-tablet-lau…
