The last time I went to a doctor, they read a list of questions from a form, entered my answers into their system, and then said they’d get back to me in a couple weeks to tell me if my insurance company would allow a follow-up. That appointment should have been a web page.

Most doctor’s appointments I’ve had recently have followed the same pattern. A good doctor is invaluable. A burnt-out noob doctor following strict procedure is like a worse GPT that your have to meet in a building full of every conceivable virus, and that costs $500 instead of $0.05. A motivated layman with GPT4 and a prescription pad would have beaten 3 out of 4 doctors I’ve seen since covid.

This is just my experience in the US mind you. Maybe I’ve had bad luck with humans, but I haven’t been impressed since all of the experienced ones retired.

I use separate buttons for that, but it has pages, so you could do something with that.

I have something similar to this, but I initially used an old android tablet running Macro Deck, an open source application that basically replies a stream deck. It has a good ecosystem of plugins for stuff like home assistant, and it was easy to add command line stuff to talk to custom electronics.

The upgrade path is good too. I ultimately switched it out for custom hardware, but it just sends keyboard shortcuts to trigger macro deck.

If you haven’t played Inscryption, just ignore everything else and do that first. It’s the most innovative deckbuilding game I’ve played, but saying more would spoil it.

Ascension is a short-ish one I’ve sunk a lot of hours into. It’s sort of like dominion meets Magic. The expansions make it a lot more interesting, but the full package is pretty cheap. It was designed by an MTG pro player who was sick of exactly that.

Black book is excellent, and managers to put a compelling narrative spin on a TCG.

Monster train is a good “it’s like slay the spire, but not slay the spire” option for when you just can’t look at another shiv.

I think they made the right call too. It’s better for almost everyone. A lot of flight sim types are also techies, so I bet the mods will bias that way.

I’m having a great time, but I also love FO4 and No Man’s Sky. The toe-dip I’ve done into colony building shows that they put real thought into Astroneer-like automated manufacturing stuff, which is my crack, and something I missed in NMS and FO4. It’s also clear from the first city that they know how depressing FO4 is, and wanted to add more variety.

Story and characters are a cut above any other Bethesda game so far, but that’s not saying much. My wife is replaying BG3 next to me, and it makes Starfield’s writing look amateurish by comparison. It’s not the core of the game though, so eh.

Downsides so far have been that the minor planets/moons don’t have much to do, and that inventory management is annoying with how much crafting components weigh.

Ship combat is… Fine. It’s not as intricate as Elite: Dangerous or SW:Squadrons (for sim gamers, weapons are all on REALLY forgiving gimbals, which makes precision unnecessary), but not actively bad like NMS VR. I think it’s a good compromise, because not everyone wants to deal with a realistic sim in what is essentially a minigame.

It’s also complex, which is good, but adds some awkwardness to the beginning.

As far as I understand, energy is conserved. Light inside a closed box will ultimately turn to heat too.

Scorn was worth a shot if you’ve already played Soma and RE. The mechanics are… Fine. The art is jaw-dropping. It’s like Amnesia if H. R. Giger had been the art director.

Don’t forget a bathroom trash can with a bag.

There’s a difference between allowing speech about a thing and embracing the thing. This is a classic case of embrace, extend, extinguish.

If you’re interested, I’d look into what happened with XMPP and Google talk. XMPP was a federated chat service. Google Talk became compatible with it, and instantly became the most popular client for it.

It then broke compatibility slowly, pushing more people from other XMPP clients onto Google talk.

They finally removed it completely, and because they were the most popular client, XMPP users moved to Google talk to maintain their connections to other users. The protocol basically ceased to exist.

People are broadly assuming that’s Meta’s plan with threads and Mastodon, because it’s an extremely common way for corporations to get rid of open systems.

They’re basically /r/the_Donald.

After all that work they did to screenshot Twitter?

“The IceCube detector, which became operational in 2010, is the largest of its kind. The observatory can monitor 1 billion tons of the Antarctic ice for neutrino interactions. To build the detector, workers drilled 86 holes in the ice, each 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) deep, and spread a network of 5,160 light sensors over a grid that spans 0.2 cubic mile (1 cubic kilometer).”

Holy shit. I hadn’t heard of this thing, but that’s an amazing solution.

Because the same legion of full-time Eric Cartman impersonators smears the same hateful dogshit over normal comment threads. This is a lot more effective than individually banning every member of the inevitable asshat brigade. There’s room for instances that federate with them, but it probably shouldn’t be the default.

The problem is that the articles from exploring heads take an average of two sentences to reach an obvious and malicious lie. There is no room for discussion under those circumstances.

For those who don’t respect the authority of conservatives as the arbiters of reality, they have no purpose except as a glimpse into the abyss. It’s like having your stream of memes interrupted every few pages by a graphic crime scene photo, only with the dread that comes with knowing that the criminal has a wide support base.

Skyrim together, if you’re particularly into jank.

This is a great example of why downvotes are so important.

He’s doing a good job in one sense. By causing total systemic collapse with policy choices in FL, he’s demonstrating how terrible Republican ideas are in practice. The party can no longer hide behind “Democrats won’t let us enact these changes,” and now has to change tack to “ignore your lying eyes.”

I hope more voters take the time to look out the window before making their next choice.

You may have the best luck starting with instances that are widely defederated. Insisting that trans experience is invalid is not considered acceptable in most communities, and instances that accept it are generally siloed.

I sincerely recommend listening to a trans person speak about their experience though. The best way to avoid getting removed from places for hate speech is to stop hating people.

Seconded. Have used this heavily and it does everything you’re asking. There’s even a Gimp plugin, though I prefer the stock webui.
