  • 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.

  • Bad but expected given that they are Chinese based. I use several of their cameras but only after kepping them isolated from the Internet and segmented from the rest of my network. I only access the streams from my NAS which in turn access the camera streams from a dedicated NIC.

  • 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.

  • Nothing really. You pay with your time by going to Linux but the effort is getting lower both because of me getting better but mostly the experience won't compare with 20 yeara ago.since the non FOSS alternatives are getting more telemtry/call home functions rhe choice is an easy one.

  • Used to use Windows 98 SE. First introduced to Mandrake Linux around 2000. Had no Internet, got the install media from a friend of my father. Barely got it working and couldn't read English. Went back to Windows XP. Ubuntu came. Began to use it around 2008 for a few years. Back to windows briefly and then Raspberry Pi was launched. Switched to Linux permanently.

    Almost went back in 2013 due to Lightroom, gaming and a few work related medical software.

    Began to grasp FOSS maturely in 2014 and switched to alterbative software. When Steam launched Proton there was no turning back.

    I was obsessed but it has come and gone. Now I'm a bit of a nuissance to friends sllwly switching them to alternative software. My partner gets the worst treatment. Now she uses hardware security keys, assymetric keys auth etc

  • As a archiver/data hoarder I use Tube Archivist that downloads videos from my subscriptions using sponsorblock to cut out ads. Then I use a script that tags the content and present them in Jellyfin with all info, sorted by channel and year.

    This way I also have everything saved and no logging from YouTube of my viewing habits apart from what's my subscriptions.

    Not perfect, but close to it.

  • No problem. It probably won't be the one you end up with if you stick to Linux for a couple of years but as I said don't distro-hop. The big jump is the one to Linux. The difference between distributions isn't that important. Good luck!

  • 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 use GrapheneOS with stock keyboard and the issue is there. It really shouldn't be up to the end user to change the keyboard though and the fix you describe doesn't work unfortunately. It should be fixed on Jerboa. It doesn't happen in other apps.
