I work disability support and have found ChatGPT to be really helpful for someone I work with who has cerebral palsy. Basically he prompts GPT to make his sentences more concise and it does just that.

For him, that’s really helpful.

Of course, to each their own, but I believe it does have its place in assisting people with disabilities IF THEY WANT AI ASSISTANCE

I’m not arguing against anything you’ve said. In fact, I said most of what you just said 2 replies ago.

The original post context was the banning of meat

I’m not saying government shouldn’t regulate safety - but that if something is safe for consumption it shouldn’t be banned, like the original posts example of meat.

I feel those examples are less about eating the meat (well, aside from all the issues that come with eating humans) and more about preventing them becoming meat in the first place - but yes, with everything theres nuance and outliers, but as a general I’d say that if people know what they’re eating and know the risks, and what they do doesn’t pose risk to others then let them eat whatever it is they’re eating…

I feel a reply I made to someone else addresses my side of this:

“Context was the idea of a government banning meat” says the original post.

I agree that you can’t possibly be fully informed on every part of everything you buy or consume, there’s too much info and for a lot of it you need a good understanding of biology, science and food science to even grasp what some ingredients are for and how they work.

I am not against the governments telling people the dangers of certain foods (such as increased cardiovascular issues with overconsumption of red meat, or risk of stroke due to smoking) but as long as the consumer is informed of such, it should be up to them - not up to the government banning something like meat

And I’m against the abuse animals suffer and the whole meat industry, by the way. I hate what happens to the animals, but thats a whole other can of worms…

Whats your stance on cigarettes and alcohol?

Theres no realistic reason cigarettes should be sold to anyone, ever - but the government (in Australia where I am at least) have put the warnings out there and if people choose to still smoke, despite the packets themselves graphically showing someone with gangrenous toes, then shouldn’t that be up to the individual?

I’m gonna paste in a reply I made to another comment which I think will answer my view on this

Natural selection.

If the danger is clearly labelled, and all ingredients and potential hazards are clearly advised…

No. The government should absolutely enforce correct labelling on anything a person is to consume. Like cigarettes in Australia, if the consumable poses a health risk that too should be labelled clearly.

I’d like the government to suggest things, and point to the science on things, but to leave the informed choice ultimately up to me.

Not for the newborn it isn’t. Something as personal as your own genetals should be your own personal choice, but in this instance the owner of the penis gave no consent.

Why? Ok, I get the sports thing depending on the sport, the transition, the training etc etc…

But what, in your view, is the problem with someone who is trans utilising the bathroom, or the change rooms? What do you think will happen?

I know a lady who is totally blind who uses one of these to tell the time. Pretty awesome.

Thank you,

Are there any likely issues with me doing that? Like, can it wreck my dual boot or anything? Sorry, again, completely new to this.

Cheers

I don’t really know how to do that…

If the power settings are telling the laptop to disable the cursor, is there anything I can type in terminal to somewhat “reboot” those settings?

Haven’t been able to as yet, but it’s on my list - thank you

Hi, nah my bios is keyboard only

I dual-boot and have windows available. On windows both cursors work just fine on battery and on mains

I cannot find any power related settings that mention the mouse on my linux… I want to move to linux but with the mouse doing what it does its tricky…

Thanks for your help so far

Hi, nah I tried 2 mice, a cheap one I bought a year or so back and another I bought last week. Both work fine until the power is disconnected and the laptop is on battery, after which neither will work until the power is plugged back in/system is restarted.

Neither work when its only battery power from boot…

Hi, yes it does lose power while mains is unplugged and the laptop is using battery power, and when I plug the mains back in the mouse does light up, but no longer functions & remains non-functional until I restart the system

I do have another mouse which I tested and the same thing happens
