#Microsoft #vendorLockIn rant…
My new job is a #Microsoft365 shop, so we use #OneNote.
I am on a MacBook.
I have a notebook with many pages.
I needed to generate a list of the page titles. There is no way to do that within the desktop or web app.
There's no way to export the notebook in another format (there supposedly is on PC, but not macOS).
I had to use the developer console in the web app to grab the page list HTML and edit it in a text editor to extract the page titles.
Ridiculous.

Cool dat er in de overheidsbrede handreiking voor verantwoorde inzet van generatieve AI onder andere dit staat:

"Bij voorkeur wordt een #opensource-applicatie of -model gebruikt. Deze modellen bieden meer inzicht, bijvoorbeeld op het gebied van transparantie."

Verder wordt ingegaan op #proprietary modellen, voorkomen van #vendorlockin, #privacy en #scraping, #herbruikbaarheid, #bias, #discriminatie en #transparantie.

It seems that for me, if I choose to be a survivalist individualist person, genuinely based on hardships and effort in trading, then I follow the Chinese way. If I want to be a narcissist who doesn't feel how those poor people feel in the streets every day, making fun of others and using freedom of speech as justification at the expense of respect for others, then U.S. ideologies are better for me. It seems that the Chinese way represents real trading for me; it is based on efforts and hardships, not on control, vendor lock-in, narcissistic reputability, and brands.
