It is distracting you because part of your mental focus is on "is this AI".

> They don't know what comfortable vs. uncomfortable feels like in a language

This is mostly about human preferences right. If software is just taken as the end product, does it matter what "feels" good and doesn't?

This is relying on the patient being stupid. I would always prefer just an honest explanation of things rather than pseudo-science drugs. And if I do discover that it's a pseudo-science drug then I've lost all confidence in that doctor. Doctors should stop pretending that they have access to some divine knowledge and everyone else is stupid.

And this interpretation is charitable, assuming that they wanted the patient to feel better via placebo. A different (and more likely) interpretation being they just wanted to charge for something extra.

I am confused why none of the experts weighing in here address this at all. Like I get that AI is generally disliked, but ignoring facts only makes me want to not trust doctors.

People complain because Proton specifically advertises privacy, mainstream providers don't. Which is pretty reasonable as far as complaining goes.

Good job on mocking others though :*

Well it is their reality. It's more like most people live in a different, crueller reality than them.

> OAuth authentication (used with Free, Pro, and Max plans) is intended exclusively for Claude Code and Claude.ai.

I think this is pretty clear - No.

Arch wiki is something special. It is astounding how diverse and detailed (and yet concise) it is.

I discovered it today and I'm in love! Thank you for maintaining a piece of simple joy for more than a decade <3

Because a novel is about creative output, and engineering is about understanding a lot of rules and requirements and then writing logic to satisfy that. The latter has a much more explicitly defined output.

Yeah then you have the choice to not buy the locked down hardware, you don't have a right to get open hardware FROM Google.

Of course there are no good options for open hardware, but that is a related but separate problem.

I worked in a similar system. The raw data from the field first goes to a cloud hosted event queue of some sort, then a database, then back to whatever app/screen on field. The data doesn't just power on-field displays. There's a lot of online websites, etc that needs to pull data from an api.

This is the exact attitude that keeps people away from Linux. The moment someone points out practical problems with Linux, it's users get all defensive and elitist about it. Sigh, if at least this changed more people would use Linux.

I feel the same. For now, I've made peace with having to switch to "whatever is the latest maintained fork with privacy defaults" every 6 months. Hopefully Ladybird becomes a usable browser sometime soon.
