OpenReception is an open source medical practice booking system. It's employing a lot of good and forward facing tech to enhance security as well as
privacy (passkeys, PQC, Shamir Secret Sharing, etc.).
Sounds like it might be a good alternative to tech stressed medical practices in #Aotearoa NZ.
Unfortunately the link is in Geman. But the publisher often/mostly releases the same content in English a few hours later, then a clickable flag appears on the same page.
Interesting to you, @lightweight ?

Under a fascist regime everyone is a criminal, which is perhaps a truly hopeful and even aspirational thing.
We are all criminal, so not keeping others' secrets risks self-incrimination.
We are all criminal, so giving the authorities anything is never worth it.
We are all criminal, so we all hang together or be hanged together.
We are all criminal.
So... when WordPress 7.0 gets released it's apparently going to have AI integrated into everything. I have no idea what I'm going to do with Eviscerati.Org - hopefully WP7 has some way to disable the AI, but the way things are going these days it doesn't seem like it. Anyone know if I have any simple migration options? I'm very tired of migrating my site, but I guess I need to at least think about it.

Where are the thinkpieces on C-Suite automation with AI?

I'd hope it's occurred to at least someone at GitLab that if we hand over software development to machines, the fantasy of control over that process will be short lived.
Further, it risks a future where we will not be able to read software written by 'AI', soon enough needing abstraction layers & interpreters to understand it. Human-legibility in code will be a bottle-neck.
Our computed languages, built to be read & written by people, could become increasingly irrelevant under this capture.
Unbromated flour is probably going to be the next conservative outrage cycle.

The corrupt Roberts Court isn't even pretending to hide its racism and partisan goals. In-your-face hypocrisy and lies are the means to the corrupt court's rancid ends.
