Was something done in like photoshop with the colors in this pic? It looks off to me, but I'm not an expert.

Trust in what sense? With computer security? You probably can't. To diagnose you and find a proper course of treatment? You probably need to research the individual doctor.

My mother worked at a hospital for years helping doctors use computers to keep up to date with research in their fields. By and large, doctors 10-15 years ago sucked at using computers. Doctors who helped save the lives of relatives of mine by diagnosing cancer early would struggle doing simple searches.

I knew a psychologist who would openly chat about patients - names included - in casual party settings. Doctors don't have to be bad at computers to violate your privacy.

If you think their computer security could be better, you're right, but the more they have to learn, the more room for error you're introducing during the changeover. Do they spend millions replacing a diagnostic machine because no one knows how to switch it to better software? When it works and those millions could go towards equipment that needs replacing?

My suggestion is to do research on tech security in hospitals. Read up from people who are experts in the subject, because it's deeply complicated. Figure out what current recommendations are and contact your local doctors and hospitals to find out if they're investing in patient information security. They might still not use linux, but it's more important they be doing what research shows works.

When you find doctors and hospitals that are working towards those recs, give them what trust you can muster, keeping in mind any of them could just be like "my lung cancer patient Joe Smith said the funniest thing yesterday" at their next cocktail party.

Most won't. But these are human run systems. You need to give them enough trust that they can monitor your health, but be prepared to withdraw it when they prove it's undeserved. Tech-wise, pay attention to actual recommendations from experts and keep in mind that the doctors themselves aren't the experts there.

Just, like, don't let yourself die because your doc thinks a linux is a kind of hybrid animal.

it's like staring at clouds. i can definitely see a labia in this, with a glowing light vagina and a bunch of stars repping the clitoris. but she always denied drawing genitals, so like when i see a dick in the clouds, it's probably all me. but if you want to see it, it's there!

There are some local news sources that post info about local traffic issues, emergencies, etc, much faster on twitter than elsewhere.

Also, there are some experts on international topics who write articles elsewhere, but still discuss those issues with each other on twitter. There's a list of english speaking experts on ukraine I keep up with. everyone's migrating, but not as fast as I'd like.

I use nitter for that stuff. Here's hoping they move soon, but people who know what I want to know aren't always good at social media.

I've been using it for years and usually install it on new computers my relatives ask me to set up. I'm not sneaking it in. If they need ms office for work, I'm not going to screw it up for them.

I stopped for a long time because of a terrible bug that deleted an important file, but in the years since I started using it again, I've never had the same problem.

I like it for writing up work emails and printing out estimates. I used to have trouble keeping my intended layout, but not so much these days. Everything I do is pretty uncomplicated, though.

I hope so!

Does it take a while to tie it properly or is there a trick to it? I've thought about doing this before.

You also need to account for where the really tall people are in the row in front of you. Social optimization be damned, I want to see!

I had a cat named Stitch years ago and I did a doubletake because my boy was an enormous orange longhair. These two would've looked hilarious side by side.

I don't know if there's a term that can escape people misunderstanding it.

Do people who didn't originally understand how 'traditional art' was intended get 'physical art' easier? so many alternate terms imply things like a particular style or age of the work. physical is the most generic term, so that's good, but the vibes are off for me lol. I'd get over it if others found it easier to understand.

man great use of color and shadow

Yeah this is similar to my experience. Some stuff gets done without that monologue, but I'm not completely without it.
