The hostility of governments towards tourists with ADHD who just want to take their medication is a true test of the effectiveness of that medication.
Within the EU, I must fill out a form with my pharmacist for them to file for each trip beyond Sverige’s border.
For my trip to Korea, I must download 2 Word docs from a website in Korean, submit a copy of my passport, flight information, notarized English translation of my Swedish prescription, and email it all 10 days before travel.
@hehemrin@dfri Claes’s argument that fraud would be reduced by using BankID less is not convincing. The alternative to BankID would be a password in most cases. Most people still reuse passwords, don’t use password managers, and don't use MFA on their email account that can be used for password resets. Passkeys might save humanity from that if Apple and Google stop inhibiting them, but the same authentication fatigue attributed as a BankID weakness applies equally to Passkeys. 🤔
Hey @MDN, with Stack Overflow’s ongoing community implosion, now would be an excellent time to launch MDN Answers so people have a better place to help each other learn.
@julian@MDN I agree that MDN’s embrace of ChatGPT is unfortunate, mostly because that model is not great at factual answers.
My objection to Stack Overflow+OpenAI is that it’s proprietary and power consuming.
In general, I think LLMs and other ML models can be helpful to people learning. If MDN had a Q&A site and used people’s contributions to train an open source model people could run locally, I think would be great.
~“the ad says something about balance of power. Apple is a great tech company, but a legendary marketer. Its ads, keynotes, stores offer a vision of its products as tools that give consumers power. The commercial is a display of force that reminds us about this sleight of hand. We are not the powerful entity in this relationship. The creative potential we feel when we pick up their devices is actually on loan. At the end of the day, it belongs to Apple, the destroyer.”
@aphyr I just sold all my $TSLA stock because of this decision. With the recent departures of brilliant people, I no longer have much long term optimism for Tesla’s dominance.
I tried Tumblr’s tipping feature to document the experience before it gets removed.
• Low usage: took ~20 minutes to find a creator with it enabled
• On iOS, payment did not use Apple Pay. I had to type my name, postal code, credit card number, expiration, verification code.
• When trying to send a second tip, it remembered my name, currency, postal code, but not my credit card details.
• Prices in USD even tho I set SEK as currency
• Smallest tip option $1.99
