Dette er fantastisk! Gratulerer med helt nydelig video! Godt å se at forbrukerrådet er på ballen! Denne kommer jeg til å spre for alt det er verdt.

I’ve always preferred Apple’s Numbers, Pages and especially Keynote to their MS equivalents, but I’ve needed both, because of reasons and work. Now I only use @npub1tgg…qwzh . Calc and Writer are amazing, and fully replaces both Apple and MS equivalents, afaic. Warming up to Impress will take a little more getting used to, though. I was *very* fond of Keynote. And all my Keynote presentations are going to need some massive reworking to ever look decent in Impress, is the first impression after trying to convert a couple of them. Not looking forward to that job, but I guess I’ll take them one at a time when I need them. But all in all, I'm very very comfortable and happy about going all in on LibreOffice. 5/n

Missing out on iMessage group chats was kind of a hard one, as 98% of people I know use iPhones. Still, I couldn’t let that stop the decision. Many people I know use @npub1rkw…5q62 already, and I’ve managed to convince some others to start using it. I use Signal as my primary messaging service, and resort to (not so) good old SMS otherwise. 4/n

Nothing can really fully replace iCloud (google was obviously never an option). But I’ve made good use of Proton mail, and Proton drive. Looking very much forward to the promised Proton drive linux client. Also, I tried uploading my entire 100K+ iCloud photos album with Proton drive’s photo sync feature. It kind of worked, and eventually completed (took two months), but the app behaves way too slow and lacks the features to replace Apple’s photos app. That might change, though, as Proton drive is being developed. Also, Proton VPN is very good, although I miss a few features I used to have on NordVPN. I was sad to let #1Password go, but with Proton pass included in my subscription I couldn’t really defend the double expense. So all in all, #Proton yeay! 3/n

One thing I have in the back of my head my while doing this is that the stuff I end up using has to be really user friendly and intuitive. I’m doing this for myself now, first, but the solutions I adopt are the ones I will recommend to my friends and family in the future. They might not be as intrinsically interested in experimenting with tech as me, and basically stuff need to just work. 2/n

The last year I’ve been making a conscious effort to pivot away from proprietary/american tech, for a mix of reasons. I’m increasingly worried about #privacy, data collection, data sovereignity, that kind of things. Not wanting to have more or less my entire life stored on servers inside american privacy and data laws jurisdiction. Wanting to support #european tech. And, where possible, a preference for open source #foss #floss #libre software. I’ve been quite in the «apple fanboy» category for the last 20+ years, and deeply buried in the whole iCloud ecosystem. Partly because of Apple’s traditional stance on privacy, and the whole «if a service is free, you’re the product» thing. I used to look forward to #apple event keynotes like others do to football matches. The last handful of iterations of #macOS, #iOS, macs and iPhones has sparked steadily decreasing amounts of enthusiasm from me though. Anyway, the last year has seen me replace most iCloud services with @npub19kd…t56d , my macbook pro with a @npub1sfg…fqh4 infinitybook pro running #linux, and my iPhone with a #Fairphone 6 running @npub1hn8…g0mt /e/OS. And a patchwork of other services and apps to replace what I used to have. Here's a summary, and some questions to others. 1/n

Dette er jeg nysgjerrig på, siden jeg planlegger bytte ut nåværende iPhone med fremtidig Fairphone med /e/OS. Gjelder dette bare #vipps, eller har du hatt problemer med andre apper man «må» ha i Norge i 2025, som bankapp, BankID, førerkort, ruter-app etc.?

I've seen several articles lately that lists #european and/or free, #opensource and #privacy respecting alternatives to american commercial services and software, like mail, SoMe, cloud storage etc. But what are some recommendations for hardware, like laptops/computers and phones, including their OS? #Linux ? But on what hardware? And what about phones? I'm particularly interested in stuff that would be possible to use for moderately- or non-technical people. @npub19rj…sy2r

The norwegian mail service (Posten) this year opted to make their annual xmas-themed stamps with #generativeAI. The article is in #norwegian, but I'll translate (myself, without AI) my favourite passage from it, which I find absolutely magical:
Journalist:
"Grafill (organization for illustrators) alleges that Posten in this way contributes to legitimize use of machine learning models built on copyright infringement?"
Posten spokesperson:
"That's difficult to answer, because that's the way AI works."

I regard myself as relatively technologically proficient and often an early adopter. Where many within my field would do their analyses in SPSS and write their articles in Word (which is fine), I prefer a workflow with, say, #RStudio and #Quarto, write analyses and text as a single reproducible document, and collaborate with #GitHub. Still, the whole generative AI thing has always... repelled me, and even more so for any kind of work within #academia. But I don’t find it easy to explain exactly what bothers me.
An important aspect of it is the «black box» thing. Scientific work should be transparent and reproducible. Output from an #LLM is anything but.
Another thing is watching colleagues get «coding advice» from an LLM for their statistical analyses that I immediately see will not run. Where, say, #lme4 syntax and #lavaan syntax is mixed up.
Third, I’ve seen horrendous examples where students ask LLMs to find research for them, with the LLM «digging up» one fictitious article after another, with fictitious results, sometimes with actual names of actual researchers, delivered with confidence. Admittedly, that was some while ago.

Our institution currently lacks a clear-cut policy on the use of #LLMs and generative #AI in #academic work. But during an upcoming seminar on the topic, new master's students will be exposed to different views in the form of 5-10 minute «speed presentations», which will then be discussed in plenary. As I’m apparently viewed as being positioned firmly in the «haters camp» I’ve been asked to present my views to the students, alongside others with other views.
I’d be grateful for any advice or help to distill my thoughts on the matter into some hard-hitting and well formulated arguments and bullets, that can be substantiated with good references and presented to an audience of students and fellow academics. Or maybe you have valid points that I have missed. I feel somewhat strongly about this, but it’s not my field and I find it difficult to argue confidently.
My point of departure is roughly this:
