Now that doge will handle elections and voter registrations. I wonder if all states will be required to have one. Or if that will only be handled by the federal doge.

Sorry I fucked up the formatting, couldn’t figure out the bigger bullet points.

I think it’s fine. All formatting on Lemmy is handled by markdown. In markdown, you can’t change the size if the bullets, but you can indent listed items (ordered/numbered or unordered/bulleted) by just indenting the bullet with 2 spaces (although 4 spaces is safest when formating markdown. I think the only item you cab change your size of is headlines.

Btw, thanks for the updated list.

Not when the geo group can earn a profit off of a detainee. Especially if they get to make an example out of someone who was both here legally and was exercising freedom of speech as is protected by the 1st Amendment.

This means we no longer have constitutional rights.

Excuse me if I don’t want to let corporations redefine my language.

I think there can be AI, but this is not it. It’s one of the reasons I don’t want to call generative or predictive models AI.

I’d like to think that words have meaning. They should not be used to pump up stock prices. And certain words, like intelligence, deserve respect.

I’ve bought

• 12 gauge shotgun
• buckshot for the shotgun
• Full Facepiece Reusable Respirator with ANSI Z87.1-2010 standard, high impact level for eye and face protection
• Heat resistant gloves
• Lacrosse stick, restring with heat resistant netting

Narrator: they used generative models to make this.

PS, AI doesn’t exist

Also Sauron would claim that having Gandalf in this chat did not pose any risks or breaches in operational security. They would further suggest that since Gandalf is a “so called” wizard (with ties to hobbits) the chat itself is some kind of hoax and that Sauron should be trusted over Gandalf.

Its a private platform. They can do what ever they want.

Politicians and other public services should stop using it while they still can.

• instance blocking
• keyword filter

These are things that I absolutely do on Lemmy today, are we sure these features are lacking? I guess it could be something that my Lemmy client is doing and not a feature built into Lemmy.

Non violent resistance is simply about reducing the death and bloodshed of the resisters. It is not acceptance or compliance.

It’s going to depend on the situation what type of resistance is required. However, unless the resistance has on its side a trained military that can overpower or outwit the regime’s abundant military force. How will it effectively end that regime through violence? If guerrilla warfare is used then narratives can be used to gain support for the regime, both domestically and internationally.

Non violent resistance gives us another path to democracy. Also, it avoids the power struggle that sometimes occurs when a regime is defeated by violent means.

Non violent resistance is not the same as apathy or acceptance. It is also a proven method for change and removing violent regimes. Not because the people in power have a change of heart but because the people that enforce their power do.

You can always try reading the book for yourself. I just started it.

… military resistance against dictatorships does not strike them where they are weakest, but rather where they are strongest. By choosing to compete in the areas of military forces, supplies of ammunition, weapons technology, and the like, resistance movements tend to put themselves at a distinct disadvantage. Dictatorships will almost always be able to muster superior resources in these areas.

From Dictatorship to Democracy (Gene Sharp)

While I agree with the sentiment, I think the point above illustrates why we must understand how we will resist.

Honestly, I’m both glad and horrified that this is a real image.

At least generative models aren’t yet good enough to place his stupid fucking tattoos under his transparent shirt to make it easier to identify him.

You have to click something, then unclick it…a computer won’t second guess itself.

Yeah, like I replaced my only drive on my Linux install (arch btw) and slapped it in an external enclosure. Then I plugged that in and and booted it on a different pc. You just need access to the bios or boot menu which some public pca might lock you out of.

You could install an SSD into an external enclosure and use that as a bootable USB drive.

I did that when I upgraded my M.2 to a larger size.

What are peoples thoughts on simplex?
