I think what they’re going for is the most professional and normal route, which would be beneficial for convincing hospital staff that the implants in question are MRI safe.

Thin plastic card that is printed well seems more professional to a lot of people.

[enginerd]

Apparently other implants have a folded card leaflet sort of thing, so I’d go with that. It’s better not to stand out in this case.

Chicken for scale

How many chickens of firewood do you need to cook an omelette?

[mrln]

One is usually enough

@Az_F

How many chickens of firewood do you need to cook an omelette?

Any non metric value should work

You’re forgetting that omelettes are French

[Not]

If my omelette starts speaking French to me I’m burning it.

@Az_F

You’re forgetting that omelettes are French

And French Fries are American.

@Not

burning

I think your autocorrect failed here. Don’t do it though you might burn yourself

[Az_F]

@ODaily

And French Fries are American.

They’re 100% Belgian. America has Hamburgers which may or may not be German

@ODaily

And French Fries are American.

I still believe it’s a shortened form of
“Frenched, Fried Potatoes”.
To French (culinary): to cut in thin lengthwise strips before cooking

Or we can just call them “chips” …

I need that sign.

Amazon is one corporation I’ve managed to never tangle with. Might hack something together myself at some point. Thanks though.

Now google I do need to disentangle from. Which reminds me, @Az_F, were you the one that was working on de-googlefying? How’d it go? Any tips? I’ve used gmail to sign up for too many things.

@enginerd

And what’s required for convincing people is often orthogonal to what’s required to prove or demonstrate reality.

Humans and societies are weird.

Truth! (⊙_◎)

They want one of your the phone numbers you share with your family in order to “uniquely prove your identity one-to-one” (but not the one you actually use, that’s invalid). They want an address where you used to live because where you actually live doesn’t count because their record keeping was too slow to keep up with your consecutive moves and that’s your fault for some reason. They make you fill out a multiple choice form, but the truth isn’t one of the options.

I was a couple days late for updating my ID. I offered them paperwork, photos, bank accounts, fingerprints, blood relative testimony, my blood itself. Ultimately, the only “evidence” they would accept that I was me was a letter I wrote and mailed to a random doctor I never met and had them sign it.

My address is the same. Instead of accepting the address on my mail, they had a stranger sign a testimony that my address was my real address. And then instead of using that address, they put me on record under the address of the stranger who signed the testimony. (-_-)ゞ゛

At least I wasn’t the person in front of me in line that day, who was told that to get the required paperwork to prove themselves a law abiding citizen, they needed to get a felony…

“I think that in life, as in game design, you have to find the fun. There is joy out there waiting to be discovered, but it might not be where you expected. You can’t decide what something’s going to be before you embark on it, and you shouldn’t stick with a bad idea just because you’re fond of it. Take action as quickly and repeatedly as possible, take advantage of what you already know, and take liberties with tradition. But most importantly, take the time to appreciate the possibilities, and make sure all of your decisions are interesting ones.”

How’d it go? Any tips? I’ve used gmail to sign up for too many things.

For personal use:
I now use brave on all my devices. I use NewPipe instead of YouTube, that’s one pf the best outcomes tbh.
I made sure to back up all my data and ask for it to be deleted for all the now unsused services.
The services I keep using are Keep, Maps and Drive. I got rid of wallet for a month but it’s just too damn useful so I reinstalled it.
(“sign in with google” was a pain to remove from all my accounts but I’m done now and with brave’s password manager being identical to chrome’s it’s fine)
I also replaced Authenticator with Vivokey

“Professionally”:
I still use YouTube (as a creator only), Play services, Payments, Books and all the things I’m publishing on. But it’s a separate account.

TLDR; Brave and NewPipe are pretty great. Some Google tools I haven’t found a good replacement for yet. Professionally you just can’t get rid of it.

Generative AI is a Parasitic Cancer

Haven’t seen it entirely yet but it’s already interesting.
Also great creator

[amal]

What they say about the goal of AI being to fool people is relevant to VivoKey’s future. We are thinking through ways to combat the “erosion of the internet”. It’s been suggested that there needs to be an “Internet 2” for humans only, but that’s not likely practical. I do think the current internet will develop “classes” of netizens such that real humans can attest / prove their “humanity” and those accounts, posts, etc. will get different treatment vs AI bots / agents / etc.

We have some ideas on how to merge zero trust verifiable credentials into the authentication step so accounts can be instantly verified as human upon creation. Signing specific content (posts, pages, blog entries, etc.) is another metter… but in the same vein.
