Not great. I feel like everyone is happy ignoring the fact I'm trans. Especially if it makes them feel awkward. I'm really struggling with holding the reality of being trans, and that being actually a fairly normal thing, and the reality that f&f can act like I'm not, that I don't need support, that I can just carry on being who they want to see me as (cis).
It's really exhausting and it gives me panic attacks.
Thanks for your post. Yeah I've done encrypted OS partitions myself and it's worked fine - it's asked for the password. This was a bit different because I was needing something unlocked that - as far as the boot loader was concerned - was not needed for boot. I did find the solution though - see my edit in OP above.
I have worked several fruit farms. Yes it's hard work. You do get used to it but of course it requires fitness /flexibility that is harder with age. But I've also worked in factories which was hard too.
Immigrants may work these jobs because, like non immigrants, they're desperate. You can find yourself working with people with serious qualifications for better jobs - because they're desperate.
This is really ironic. We're surprised that the AI says what we have all put out there already for it to consume. remember it doesn't care, it can't. But having it say those things makes us think: there, we are right ... the AI said so. And Bernie anthropomorphizes the AI throughout, which also gives it power.
There's good stuff in the video that people need to hear, but there's danger, too.
Take radiology: there is some evidence that AI can sometimes identify solid-mass tumors that some radiologists miss. Look, I’ve got cancer. Thankfully, it’s very treatable, but I’ve got an interest in radiology being as reliable and accurate as possible.
Let’s say my hospital bought some AI radiology tools and told its radiologists: “Hey folks, here’s the deal. Today, you’re processing about 100 X-rays per day. From now on, we’re going to get an instantaneous second opinion from the AI, and if the AI thinks you’ve missed a tumor, we want you to go back and have another look, even if that means you’re only processing 98 X-rays per day. That’s fine, we just care about finding all those tumors.”
If that’s what they said, I’d be delighted. But no one is investing hundreds of billions in AI companies because they think AI will make radiology more expensive, not even if that also makes radiology more accurate. The market’s bet on AI is that an AI salesman will visit the CEO of Kaiser and make this pitch: “Look, you fire nine out of 10 of your radiologists, saving $20m a year. You give us $10m a year, and you net $10m a year, and the remaining radiologists’ job will be to oversee the diagnoses the AI makes at superhuman speed – and somehow remain vigilant as they do so, despite the fact that the AI is usually right, except when it’s catastrophically wrong.
“And if the AI misses a tumor, this will be the human radiologist’s fault, because they are the ‘human in the loop’. It’s their signature on the diagnosis.”
I can't say how hrt will help you or not. I'm thinking it might help me one day but...
But I wanted to send you a hug, perhaps that sounds meaningless, sent in digital bytes, but I know it's helped me to hear that at times. You sound so down on yourself, are you sure you aren't depressed (I'm not a Dr)? Do you have access to a counsellor/therapist?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the mirror doesn't know shit! I tell myself this, anyway!
Um, I was just sharing my experience with an xps. You have different experience, with a different xps model I'd guess. I'm glad you're happy with it!
I didn't even share the worst part of my experience: when it died it just died, refused to turn on. Immediate brick, no warning. This has happened to quite a few people I found, from frantic searching at the time.
I've bought dell for 20 years but their quality has been falling for the last decade, in my opinion and based on having bought about a dozen (for various people).
Chatbot chump would be better!

Good luck!

Thanks, I solved it by RTM-ing, see edit.
Debian!

"Taking our jobs" is just a trope.
Ddg:
Ran https://voteyesornoai.com/ Where of 175k people, 90% said No AI
Offers noai.duckduckgo.com, presumably to cater to this 90% who don't want it.
Has AI first features in main product. Does not advertise noai much.
So...
Just seems weird.
Ugh. I've got one fedora box. Going to debian. Even if AI shite gets into sid, it'll be years after the bubble's popped before it reaches stable 🤣

Of course, and by AI first they mean profit and fash first. Humanity, reason, democracy and accountability last.
Yeah we did that, but at least it took us six months or so too get the photos developed...

Infomaniak are good. Awful ux but good on other stuff.
