Maybe. LLMs are free(ish), meanwhile a single trip to the ER can leave a person destitute. Maybe that’s not so bad (it is) if the ER visit is for something actually urgent, but somewhere between 27% and 40% of ER visits are non-urgent and most are treatable by a PCP. But… ERs have to treat you while, in the US, a primary care physician can look you right in the eyes and turn you away because you have no money.

People don’t want to admit that AI does some good because the companies that own these LLMs are as corrupt as any other and the implications of the corruption of this tech are horrifying. But for health care, including mental health, LLMs are an unexpected godsend.

Note to self: convince cute guy friend to try Mint.

Thanks for the tip.

If she’s nominated, it’s a fix. Classic authoritarian playbook: maintain the illusion of democracy by propping up an opponent that you aren’t likely to lose to. Then, stuff the ballot boxes anyway.

Yes! (I’m a little biased since it’s my favorite color.)

Can “Linux” be another color? Red pillers are incel neo-Nazi douchebags.

Elaborate, plz.

Why did homie get banned?

It’s a doomsday cult.

Seems to exist all over Lemmy. I’m new around here, migrated from Reddit just a week ago, but this kind of post would get downvoted into nothingness over there. Not for the message, obviously, but for the self-righteous indignation, the name calling, for just being one big spoiled brat temper tantrum. So far, it’s the only thing I miss.

Almost certainly not. All the offshoots from Mozilla’s tech rely first and foremost on Mozilla’s production of the foundational software, which eats up a significant portion of their roughly $500M/yr operational costs. The heavy development cost of modern browsers is why everything is either Chromium or Gecko-based.

That said, Mozilla will be around as long as Chromium continues to dominate the market. Google literally funds Mozilla because it’s cheaper to prop up a competitor than it is to be sued by the government for monopolistic practices (check out 1998 decision against Microsoft for bundling Internet Explorer with Windows).

I’m not sure Firefox belongs on this list. Google finances Mozilla’s operation to the tune of $420M a year. It’s not for-profit, but it’s also not the same as the others.

Congrats on friends👍🏻

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? Man it must have changed a lot since I did it in the '00s.

Typical lemmy user looking for a femdom to spank his nutsack.

Horseshit. Conservatives have been raising their children for a generation to believe dying for Trump’s America is a worthy cause.

Raw Story is just like any other rag. They play to their demographics. There is no massive anti-MAGA outcry on X or any of the socials.

Don’t let this bullshit lure you into a false sense of security. Conservatives are as committed as ever. The majority of them think the post-911 wars were justified, and that they were heroes for fighting in them. They also believe the Jews are the chosen people. They’re ready to send their kids to die in Iran. They’re nationalists and zionists. It’s their entire worldview. It’s in their bones.

Don’t become complacent.

🤣

Why are you pretending like Biden isn’t talking specifically about the collapse of whatever is left of American democracy into outright dictatorship? Hungary, North Korea, Russia… whatever you think about America, the crony capitalism of the last 40 - 50 years is nothing compared to Russian oligarchy. In all of American history, nothing even close has existed. And since the beginning of post-war American hegemony, these systems of democratic oppression have always existed “over there”. For the very first time, the full dictator experience is coming to America. It’s entirely, undeniably new.

I tend to agree with the former president. There is no coming back from this.

If women are so great, then how come God made them so good at cooking and cleaning and not business and stocks and racecar?

You don’t say… I was sure he was going to admit to being a pedophile and child rapist.

Just goes to show ya, you can never be sure about these things.
