[ncstalgicc]

Fellow fanfic writers what apps and or websites do all of you use to write?

I only yesterday finally became "comfortable" with my set up. It's weirdly difficult to find something that works cross platform, is available offline and doesn't steal your work or use it for AI training like google docs. (Tbh i just hate google in general)

I am currently using Zoho writer and Reedsy (REEDSY PLEASE MAKE MOBILE APP PLEASE) I started off with only Reedsy but wanted to type on my phone sometimes so I got Zoho and as far as I know Reedsy also doesn't have an offline mode .

Also does anyone use Novlr? How's your experience with it?

[purgetrooperfox]

options listed are ones I've heard of but know next to nothing about. please tell me your likes/dislikes

I'm looking for something

secure

easy to use or at least intuitive to learn

with cloud save for synced use on both laptop and phone

preferably free

[the-real-zoho-mail]

Intro Post!

I am a gimmick and not actually Zoho Mail!

He/Him pronouns

I am a minor!!

I have autism and adhd and I don't know how to actually communicate.

idk what else to put so oh well

[sleepycoffins-and-benhargreeves]

god guys, lemme fucking rant, I'm so pissed off with our client being so contorlling af that they are banning nearly ALL COMMUNICATIONS WHILE AT WORK

like bitch, why the fuck you banning yahoo mail for fucks sake? And now google and zoho notebooks? jfc

But also, I know they're doing this because SOME MOTHERFUCKER in another company branch is doing god knows what hence why they keep banning apps and sites

I swear to fuck, if I lose the ability to write my fanfics during work hours somebody will fucking pay for this shit

[satancopilotsmytardis]

What site do you use to write? I personally use zoho, so if you're thinking of switching, I'd highly recommend it

I use 4thewords because it literally hacks my brain by gamifying writing, it's like a full RPG game with co-op modes, events, rewards, and stuff and it makes it so easy for me to sit down and focus because every word helps to complete a quest or beat a monster

Normally I love it, but every time they mess around with the code, the site goes down for several hours! I thought the update yesterday was for adding an event, I didn't realize they were also messing with loading times, which is what ended up knocking everyone offline

[peaches2217]

Phew! What with Google cracking down on people using Docs to write porn, I got all my Mario fics moved into a big folder and downloaded to my computer, and now I'm in the process of trying to migrate over to Zoho. Here's hoping...

Fishbone #010

the human cost rolls downhill

5 source images, 9 layers.

I hate having to write this. I hate that this is a thing that happened to be written about.

In early 2024 a private virtual clinic providing medical care for a vulnerable and underserved patient demographic allegedly replaced 80% of its human staff with machine learning software.

As far as I can find this hasn't been reported on in the media so far and many of the details are currently not public record. I can't confirm how many staff were laid off, how many quit, how many remain, and how many of those are medics vs how many are admin. I can't confirm exact dates or software applications. This uncertainty about key details is why I'm not naming the clinic. I don't want to accidentally do a libel.

I'm not a journalist and ancestors willing researching this post is as close as I'll ever have to get. It's been extremely depressing. The patient testimonials are abundant and harrowing.

What I have been able to confirm is that the clinic has publicly announced they are "embracing AI," and their FAQs state that their "algorithms" assess patients' medical history, create personalised treatment plans, and make recommendations for therapies, tests, and medications. This made me scream out loud in horror.

Exploring the clinic's family of sites I found that they're using Zoho to manage appointment scheduling. I don't know what if any other applications they're using Zoho for, or whether they're using other software alongside it. Zoho provides office, collaboration, and customer relationship management products; things like scheduling, videocalls, document sharing, mail sorting, etc.

The clinic's recent Glassdoor reviews are appalling, and make reference to increased automation, layoffs, and hasty ai implementation.

The patient community have been reporting abnormally high rates of inadequate and inappropriate care since late February/early March, including:

Wrong or incomplete prescriptions

Inability to contact the clinic

Inability to cancel recurring payments

Appointments being cancelled

Staff simply failing to attend appointments

Delayed prescriptions

Wrong or incomplete treatment summaries

Unannounced dosage or medication changes

The clinic's FAQ suggests that this is a temporary disruption while the new automation workflows are implemented, and service should stabilise in a few months as the new workflows come online. Frankly I consider this an unacceptable attitude towards human lives and health. Existing stable workflows should not be abandoned until new ones are fully operational and stable. Ensuring consistent and appropriate care should be the highest priority at all times.

The push to introduce general-use machine learning into specialised areas of medicine is a deadly one. There are a small number of experimental machine learning models that may eventually have limited use in highly specific medical contexts, to my knowledge none are currently commercially available. No commercially available current generation general use machine learning model is suitable or safe for medical use, and it's almost certain none ever will be.

Machine learning simply doesn't have the capacity to parse the nuances of individual health needs. It doesn't have the capacity to understand anything, let alone the complexities of medical care. It amplifies bias and it "hallucinates" and current research indicates there's no way to avoid either. All it will take for patients to die is for a ML model to hallucinate an improper diagnosis or treatment that's rubber stamped by an overworked doctor.

Yet despite the fact that it is not and will never be fit for purpose, general use machine learning has been pushed fait accompli into the medical lives of real patients, in service to profit. Whether the clinic itself or the software developers or both, someone is profiting from this while already underserved and vulnerable patients are further neglected and endangered.

This is inevitable by design. Maximising profit necessitates inserting the product into as many use cases as possible irrespective of appropriateness. If not this underserved patient group, another underserved patient group would have been pressed, unconsenting, into unsupervised experiments in ML medicine--and may still. The fewer options and resources people have, the easier they are to coerce. You can do whatever you want to those who have no alternative but to endure it.

For profit to flow upwards, cost must flow downwards. This isn't an abstract numerical principle it's a deadly material fact. Human beings, not abstractions, bear the cost of the AI bubble. The more marginalised and exploited the human beings, the more of the cost they bear. Overexploited nations bear the burden of mining, manufacture, and pollution for the physical infrastructure to exist, overexploited workers bear the burden of making machine learning function at all (all of which I will write more about another day), and now patients who don't have the option to refuse it bear the burden of its overuse. There have been others. There will be more. If the profit isn't flowing to you, the cost is--or it will soon.

It doesn't have to be like this. It's like this because humans made it this way, we could change it. Indeed, we must if we are to survive.

Do you know how I can gain experience/ skills for like an office job? Like Microsoft and spreadsheets?

I would start by looking at job listings for the positions you would be interested in and to see what kinds of skills they require.

MS Office (specifically Word, Excel, and Powerpoint) or Google Workplace (Docs, Sheets, Slides) is a good place to start, since those skills will definitely be needed. Microsoft has its own training here. You can also look here and here for other Microsoft training. Similarly, Google has its own training here, and you can find other tutorials here. In general, I think Coursera is a really good place to look when it comes to learning new skills.

You may also want to become familiar with video conferencing software (like Zoom and Microsoft Teams), project management software like Trello, Asana, and Basecamp, and costumer relationship management (CRM) software like Salesforce, Zoho CRM, and HubSpot. Those probably aren't essential, but they might give you a competitive edge, especially if you don't have a lot of experience yet.

Specific industries may have their own software they use, which is why it can be helpful to check the job listings. Knowing how to use those softwares can help you expand the fields you can work in and can potentially help you get better, higher paying office jobs.

As far as experience goes, there are typically entry-level office jobs you can apply to that won't require you to have worked in an office before. If there are bigger companies in your area, they may offer internships that can help you build your resume and get to know how an office environment works. You might also look to see if any volunteer organizations around you need someone to do administrative work for them- that way you can practice your skills and do something good at the same time.

Which email service is the sexiest?

Seeing as how I've been at the mercy of Google for almost my entire existence, I went ahead and looked up some different providers to do this justice. Thanks techradar I guess. In order of least sexy to sexiest:

Yahoo 2/10 I'm over the purple and if I ever have to say Yahoo ever again I'm going to start a riot in a Denny's parking lot.

Outlook 2.5/10 It's lacking pizzazz

Gmail 4/10 Customizable, themes, kinda sexy but I'm a "be you" kinda gal. Don't change your hair just to please someone else, girl, love yourself.

Zoho 6/10 I like the red, it's doin it for me

Proton 9/10 I don't know what it is about that layout but daaaaamn.

The Ultimate Comparison of Zoho Books and QuickBooks for Small Business Owners

Introduction

Running a small business is no easy feat. From managing finances to handling client relationships, the responsibilities can be overwhelming. However, with the right tools in hand, you can streamline your operations and simplify your workload significantly. Two of the most popular accounting software options for small businesses are Zoho Books and QuickBooks. But which one should you choose?

In this ultimate comparison guide of Zoho Books vs QuickBooks, we'll take a deep dive into both platforms' pros and cons so that you can make an informed decision on what's best for your business needs!

What is Zoho Books?

Zoho Books is an easy-to-use cloud-based accounting software designed specifically for small business owners. It offers a range of features to help manage finances, including invoicing, expense tracking, inventory management and time-tracking.

One of the best things about Zoho Books is its user-friendly interface. Even if you have no prior experience with accounting software, you can easily navigate through the platform and get started in no time.

Another noteworthy feature of Zoho Books is its automation capabilities. You can set up recurring invoices or automatic payment reminders to save yourself time on manual tasks. Additionally, Zoho Books integrates seamlessly with other apps within the Zoho suite and third-party applications like Stripe and PayPal.

Zoho Books provides a cost-effective solution for small businesses looking to streamline their financial operations without sacrificing functionality or ease-of-use.

What is QuickBooks?

QuickBooks is an accounting software that targets small and medium-sized businesses. It was developed by Intuit, a well-known financial software company based in Mountain View, California. QuickBooks offers a range of features such as bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll management, and inventory tracking.

One of the key features of QuickBooks is its user-friendly interface which makes it easy for non-accountants to use. The software also integrates with various third-party applications like PayPal and Shopify to provide users with more functionality.

Moreover, QuickBooks comes in both desktop and online versions meaning you can choose the one that suits your business needs. Desktop version requires installation on your computer while the online version allows you to access the app from anywhere provided you have internet connection.

QuickBooks is ideal for small business owners who need basic accounting tools without spending too much time learning complex financial jargon.

The Pros and Cons of Zoho Books

Zoho Books is a cloud-based accounting software designed for small businesses. It offers many features that can help business owners manage their finances effectively.

One of the pros of Zoho Books is its affordability. The pricing plans are reasonable and offer great value for money, especially when compared to other accounting software on the market.

Another advantage of Zoho Books is its user-friendly interface. Even if you're not an accounting expert, you can easily navigate through the software with ease.

Furthermore, Zoho Books also allows users to customize invoices and reports which can be helpful in branding your business identity as well as presenting financial data more professionally.

On the downside, some users have reported glitches with certain features like inventory management and bank reconciliation. Also, customer support may take longer than usual to respond sometimes leaving users waiting for hours or days before getting assistance.

Zoho books offer a wide range of benefits at an affordable price point but it’s important to consider the potential drawbacks too before making a final decision about whether this solution will meet your needs and expectations.

The Pros and Cons of QuickBooks

QuickBooks is a popular accounting software that has been around for decades. It offers a variety of features to help small business owners manage their finances effectively. Here are some pros and cons of using QuickBooks.

Pros:

One of the biggest advantages of QuickBooks is its user-friendly interface, which makes it easy to navigate and use even for non-accountants. The software also offers a wide range of features such as invoicing, expense tracking, inventory management, and payroll processing.

Another benefit of using QuickBooks is its integration with other applications like Microsoft Excel, TurboTax, and Salesforce. This allows you to import data from other sources into QuickBooks seamlessly.

Moreover, QuickBooks provides excellent customer support through phone or chat services and has an extensive knowledge base that can answer most common questions.

Cons:

One major drawback of using QuickBooks is its high cost compared to other accounting solutions in the market. Additionally, some users have reported glitches or difficulties when attempting to run certain functions within the software.

Furthermore, while it does offer many features that are helpful for small businesses operations; however this may be overwhelming for some users who only require basic functionalities but still need to pay the full price for all options provided by the software.

Which One is Right for You?

Choosing between Zoho Books and QuickBooks can be a tough decision, as both offer unique features to small business owners. To determine which one is right for you, there are a few factors to consider.

Firstly, the size of your business plays an important role in choosing between the two platforms. If you're running a smaller operation with fewer employees and transactions, then Zoho Books might be the way to go due to its affordability and ease of use. However, if your business has more complex accounting needs or multiple users that need access to financial information, QuickBooks may be better suited for you.

Another factor to consider is what type of industry your business operates in. QuickBooks offers more specialized versions geared towards specific industries such as construction or nonprofit organizations. On the other hand, Zoho Books caters more towards service-based businesses like consulting firms or marketing agencies.

It's worth considering whether integration with other software programs is important for your business operations. QuickBooks has been around longer and therefore may have stronger integrations with other common software systems like Microsoft Office Suite or Salesforce.

Ultimately, choosing between Zoho Books vs QuickBooks comes down to individual needs and preferences based on these various factors mentioned above - ensuring that you pick an accounting platform tailored specifically for your unique requirements will make all the difference in managing finances effectively!

Conclusion

After comparing Zoho Books vs QuickBooks, it's clear that both accounting software packages have their strengths and weaknesses. Ultimately, the decision on which one to use will depend on your specific business needs.

If you're a small business owner who is looking for an affordable solution with excellent invoicing capabilities, then Zoho Books may be the right choice for you. However, if you require more advanced accounting features or a system that integrates with other applications seamlessly, then QuickBooks may be the better option.

Regardless of which platform you choose, make sure to do your research thoroughly before committing to any particular accounting software. By taking the time to carefully evaluate each package's pros and cons in light of your company's unique requirements, you'll ensure that you end up with an ideal solution that helps streamline your operations while providing accurate financial data at all times.
