  If I can give an overly pedantic answer, it’s not him. I certainly never give such a vile human being a pass but …… his advisors have their own agendas. At least some of the evilness is their agenda and Trump is either the sock puppet, was bribed, or just doesn’t care about anyone besides himself.

  You can’t, and shouldn’t try. Spending time in moderation is more important, so limit that. Sure when they’re little you have to open restrictions over time but keep the focus on recognizing ai slop and understanding the issues with it.

  Sooner than you think, they’re watching is out of your control so it quickly becomes critical for them learn about

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  More accurately I’m more pessimistic about direct resistance. Even if you’re kidnapped out of the country, at least you’ve survived and have hope. That law is on your side, so if we ever get back to following laws ….

  They must have misapplied the tits

  Fine, how about “I have a great set of styling skills but am also willing to show off my personal appearance to maximize tips”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My understanding is they succeeded partly by being the bigger force. You can do that when the enemy is a small local police force with the weapons of that time. However it’s not the same when it’s a larger militarized federal force that is already claiming “total Immunity”.

  If they have the overwhelming force and believe they have no limits, escalating will only escalate their response.

  But legally they don’t have “total immunity”. Legally there are limitations. Legally there are civil rights. Pursuing it through the courts is slow and uncertain, but much more likely to succeed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Something may be better than nothing but escalating without hope isn’t better.

  It’s a bad idea to attempt force against overwhelming force.

  You’re much more likely to get good results by surviving and following through in the courts. Your strength is knowing your rights, filming everything, ensuring it’s clear on video when those rights are validated.

  For example, you may not be able to physically prevent an illegal search. But you can film it. You can make it clear that you do don’t consent to a search (while not physically interfering with their illegal activity). You can ask about their warrant. You can even ask for their grounds for suspicion. When they are on video violating that, it’s pretty damaging evidence. That won’t help you in the short term, but it will help in the future. If there is due process, you may get any evidence obtained illegally dropped. You can follow through with a civil rights proceeding. It won’t be fast or easy but you’re much more likely to eventually get justice, than any fantasies of violent resistance

  I think this is one of these long tails for rebuilding. Clearly we can’t count on national leaders to uphold the law. The problem is either the massive buildup of ice or the entire lack of ethics and respect for the law and their fellow humans among the workers.

  Perhaps if we establish a strong traditionalism of professionalism, respect for the law, strong ethics, then next time around they won’t be so susceptible to corruption. Probably need a strong union as well, so if there are any good ones, they have support to stand up for what is right.

  You could be in the right. You could be legally correct. You could even survive. But who is there to enforce the law? Where are the consequences?

  ICE is not above the law but when the people charged with upholding the law and investigating abuses are the ones encouraging it, what can you do?

  Calling them fascists and authoritarians didn’t come from nowhere

  Arguably ICE got all that extra funding because they were most willing to use immoral and illegal actions

  I don’t know about most of these - nationalism is not necessarily authoritarian. Maybe authoritarians frequently use nationalism as one of their tools to keep the population in line

  Previously I added to my routine, to ask two stupid queries of ai every day, because that was the metric we were judged on. I can get that out of the way quickly, and get to my work.

  Now we have to use a new ai tool that has a lot more telemetry, thanks Microsoft. Unfortunately I don’t know what metric they are using and the tool spies on everything. I can’t even just not use the ai features because the tool is horrible

  This is not a bad idea. One of my biggest categories here are interesting looking recipes. The problem is they go through a lot of effort to make them unusable - blocking printing and bookmarking. I starters just keeping tabs open when that was useful but realistically most of them auto-reload to show more ads do as soon as the generated link expires they’re gone

  There was that announcement about building out freight track up to Churchill as a port for natural resources trade directly with Europe. It’s just an announcement, but a fascinating idea

  Interesting idea, and a great money saver! I find it strange that portable induction cooktops are so much cheaper and at least seem more technically advanced than a fill sized range.

  But yeah, more clutter and probably not great for selling a house. Not for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Worst in Show' CES products include AI refrigerators, AI companions and AI doorbells⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually did see this as one of my choices - looks nice, fits my requirements better than the one I got, and is $1500 cheaper!

  But that stupid horizontal display is stupid. It meant the range sticks out an extra inch or more and I really couldn’t do that in my kitchen. It also means smaller burner space than the one I got - it doesn’t need to be much but a little extra room to move pans around rather than crowd them

  Thanks. Seems like a positive step

  Right. where’s the actual content, the wording not treating us like idiots?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Worst in Show' CES products include AI refrigerators, AI companions and AI doorbells⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes and no. My understanding is an air fryer is just more convection. No actual definition but some brands have both convection and air fry. But I couldn’t find that with an induction top.

  This does have “convection bake” vs “convection roast”, so I still need to understand what distinction they’re making

  I’ll figure it out as I cook more. I do have a countertop air fryer that I was hoping to get rid of (I need the counter space) that I used a lot for chicken breasts and stuff. But the ultimate test is tofu. I’ve never been able to make tofu right so if I can use the convection oven to get the right consistency, I’m golden

  Given all the cuts to science, deportation of scientists, and blocking student researchersin the past year alone, I’d claim the US deserves half the credit for China’s impending science ascendancy

  I really hate how so many of these articles feel like they need to dumb it down with this “artificial sun” imagery. It feels so condescending. I’d rather learn more about the latest progress with nuclear fusion
