Socialist parenting

  • Assigning chores by capability is good, but allowances also need to be distributed by needs?

  • "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs", though it's not like I thoroughly understand what it really meant😆

  • CIA won't murder you outright. They will make you lose your job, make your wife leave you, take your kids, then you will somehow end up "dead from suicide due to financial problems and a failed marriage" 😎

Hospital bosses love AI. Doctors and nurses are worried.

This is a bad idea. Used to do call centre customer service, and while it wasn't implemented on our side, some contacts that got routed to us seems to be handled by chatbots before, and people aren't happy.

Human condition is complex, organic, often unique circumstances. A brain dead statistical machine like AI cannot be expected to handle these things well.

Now, if it is for health related big data analytics, like epidemic modeling, demographic changes, effect of dietary patterns (notoriously hard to model actually), then I don't see anything wrong with that. Caring for people? No way.

KDE Connect is the best! Also why isn't the app called KDE Konnekt 🤣

Android auto copies numbers in SMS text messages to the clipboard, so any apps capable of monitoring the clipboard are suspect for one time security pin harversting.

Happens quite a lot in my country (Malaysia). People, especially the older ones, install apps form unknown source because their WhatsApp/WeChat friends shared them, then their online banking access got compromised, savings account emptied out, and there's nothing the banks can do because on their record, its the account holder doing the transfer.

Some banks now moved away from SMS and use dedicated app for this purpose now.
