"Redskirts" hahaha you are so funny and clever. Let me say something you kinda guys like to hear: "Keep your social bullshit politics out of my tech stories"
OK, looking at the actual link and not just bloviating my opinion this seems less offensive. These aren't Health Records in the sense of official documentation by doctors but communications with patient. I see some of it is initiated by patients, but it seems the majority is the provider using it in communication with patients/family... I can slightly understand that, but man I'd be annoyed if it was more than a smiley face once or twice. Maybe it's for patients who are children and parents can show to kids. I was thinking patients using it may be typing on a phone where this shit is much easier. But if it's from professionals, it's likely shitty AI autoresponses, i bet. IDK.
The rise in illiteracy rates is really fucking disturbing and this attitude (the parent) is part of what's to blame.
Looking at the examples in the comment above, I really hope it's not that bad.
It's like the stupid "ROFL"/CLOWN by political fighters, and the (handclap) 500 times in a row, like. Or the ROFL by people who are trying to make their shit seem "funnier" than it every could be and only makes it more obnoxious.
There's a difference between "making a powerpoint at a conference and using emojis as bullet points" and throwing emojis every other word to be cute and getting papers published, or medical records with that.
Bloody rentierists. This is what I've been realizing more and more as this "AI" push combined with rising consumer hardware prices. IMO this is an intentional war on consumers to force them into being digital serfs (like MS and Sun and all the others wanted back in the day). Mainframes->Minis (and mainframes)->Micro/PC->Cloud(and back we go to centralization).
Nuclear Orange Dust (and not the Cheetoh dust, the og mac dust) and bigger fatter noodles (that late 90s skinnier noodles trash is what ruined it for me, texture ruined, etc...)
But Annies wins the flavor contest (at least with the cheese sauce pouch, not the Kraft dust kind)...
Annie's is a close second in the dry-packet, to Goodles (which cook slightly faster, and are gluten-free). Both are winners.
My tip: Immediately after draining, I mix in a beaten raw egg to coat the noodles and make them a tad creamier in mouthfeel - regardless of brand. The noodle heat soft-cooks the egg.
Whole lotta foods in that snack food group seem to use the same hot dog water flavored spice.
Kraft Mac n Cheese, let’s just say the same cemented consistency it turns into after an hour sitting in the dirty dishes is not far off from the physical state it reaches inside the digestive tract.
I eat a fair bit of mac&cheese, and I'll bet it's still not 1% of my micro plastic intake. From what I can see, they're still not even twice the content of Kraft.
A few comments here touching on "disruption" (especially considering SV's historical mantras about "disruption" and "easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission").
So I think a good renaming is in order: Disruption of Government Efficiency
Slows it down to give them time to catch up, especially in this new tech era.
I read Wired in the 90s, I remember the Libertarian Logic.
The best part is "Oh gee, we might doom society, we should think about these things... hmm. OK, guys, let's keep building it."
Fuck it, let's straight up Stalin it, not just remove restrictions but FORCE these fuckers into slave camps building it all out, industrializing (Siliconizing? LLM-izing?) the future landscape.
We've already bent our "conservative principles" in the name of corporate expediency and fascistic tendencies (who doesn't love a little "public/private" co-operation).
The worst part is, most of these people have no principle and are merely opportunistic rent seekers bent on bending the rules for me, not for thee.
I miss the old last.fm. I know it's still there, but it's not the same since CBS took over and made everything rely on youtube or whatever it's doing these days.
