Are there any good alternatives tl the HoloISO for non Steamdeck hardware? I'm looking for an alternative due to the main developer is a supporter of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (https://web.archive.org/web/20221117041701/https://steamdeck.community/threads/the-developer-of-holoiso-is-supporting-russian-war-against-ukraine.332/).

The Internet was concieved decades ago. In hindsight, many bad design choices were made. Given what was known at the time it's still blows my mind how well it has aged. There are some

Hypothetical scenario: what design choices would we change security wise if we had the opportunity to redesign the Internet from scratch today? Or to tackle the problem the other way around: what are the bad design choices for Internet security that we are stuck with today, unfixible without starting over?

I agree and I suspect this planned system might get scuttled before release due to legal problems. That's why I framed it in a non legal way. I want my bosses to understand the privacy issue, both in this particular case but also in future cases.

I understand the fight will be hard and I'm not getting into it if I cant present something they will understand. I'm definetly in a minority both among the admin staff and my peers, the doctors. Most are totally ignorsnt to the privacy issue.

I work in Sweden and it falls under GDPR. There are probably are GDPR implications but as I wrote the question is not legal. I want my bosses to be aeare of the general issue ad this is but the first of many similar problems.

The training data is to be per person, resulting in a tailored model to every single doctor.

It will not be possible to use my own software. The computer environment is tightly controlled. If this is implemented my only input device to the medical records will be the AI transcriber (stupidity).

I'm a psychiatrist in the field of substance abuse and withdrawal. Sure there's a shortage of us too but I want the hospital to understand the problem, not just me getting to use a old school secretary by threatening going to another hospital.

My question is not a legal one. There probably are legal obstacles for my hospital in this case but HIPAA is not applicable in my country.

I'd primarily like to get your opinions of how to effectively present my case for my bosses against using a non local model for this.

As a medical doctor I extensively use digital voice recorders to document my work. My secretary does the transcription. As a cost saving measure the process is soon intended to be replaced by AI-powered transcription, trained on each doctor's voice. As I understand it the model created is not being stored locally and I have no control over it what so ever.

I see many dangers as the data model is trained on biometric data and possibly could be used to recreate my voice. Of course I understand that there probably are other recordings on the Internet of me, enough to recreate my voice, but that's beside the point. Also the question is about educating them, not a legal one.

How do I present my case? I'm not willing to use a non local AI transcribing my voice. I don't want to be percieved as a paranoid nut case. Preferravly I want my bosses and collegues to understand the privacy concerns and dangers of using a "cloud sollution". Unfortunately thay are totally ignorant to the field of technology and the explanation/examples need to translate to the lay person.

As a medical doctor I strongly object to this. Generics are tightly regulated. The substance is the same. What can vary is the binding materials and alike. In very, very rare cases a patient can be allergic to a substance that is specific to a certain brand (and not part of the active substance). This has happened to me only twice. In some countries anticonvusants are the exception where generics aren't used, but that is not practiced everywhere.

Understandable but bad since all newer Windows versions are really heavy on telemetry and privacy hostile practices.

Of course I use Linux but I don't live in a bubble and see that most people won't switch in the near future.

You should care about Linux. The web depends upon it :)

I'd say don't over think it. Just pick a distribution and try to stick with it. The vast choices is also a curse for newcomers. It definitely delayed my journey by years going back to Windows.

Start with something well supported, I'd pick Mint.

Get games or whatever you use the computer for the most to work OK. Nvidia don't like Linux, pick AMD.

Be prepared to give up some old habits instead of forcing windows software on Linux. For example I had to give up Lightroom and as a photography hobbyist it was hard at first. Now I use Darktable and the switch back to Lightroom today seems equally hard.

So in short. Install a beginner friendly distro and get the most important stuff working and begin using the computer as much as possible.

I'd say popos. It's very polished and they are both developers as well as hardware people. It works very well. For servers I'd go with Ubuntu, but not for desktops.

But isn't that what this program does? It allows you to choose an instance with admins that you trust. And those who want to review every single one manually can still do that. I'd love this tool. The ones setting up these servers aren't stupid. They can use their judgement and use this tool if they want!

I live in Sweden and pay around 12 dollars a month for fiber 1000/1000 Mbps without data traffic restrictions.

Seeing the fees you pay makes me feel sad.
