Its also important to note that there is a big difference between US border patrol and ICE. You should know who you are interacting with.

This is terrible and it’s also true that there are still 5 Americans held hostage in Gaza.

Do you have the phrase “out of the frying pan and into the fire” in Europe?

Mildly approaching an actually useful AI in the stupidest way possible.

I don’t need an AI shortcut in Excel that is just a chatbot. If it could actually perform complex redundant tasks, then it would be useful.

“Copilot, please create 3 charts of the most important data and create a Powerpoint with animations to present it.”

Until it can do things like that, it’s useless to me.

Honest question: what do people actually use this for?

This list was likely created by the secretive multi-millionaire Citizens Defending Freedom USA Foundation Inc, located at

590 NW 3rd St

Mulberry, FL 33860 USA

They’ve mostly stayed out of the news by training officially “unaffiliated” conservative ministers to carry out their dirty work, attempting to appear as a grassroots movement.

Additional details

“Activist” is a bit grandiose. I might go with “far-right conspiracist and video prankster Laura Loomer”

Cool, money is more important than freedom anyway./s

Thanks! I must have missed that one.

The rules of the !News community are enforced with the best consistency we can manage. I do not make moderation decisions based on my personal beliefs, but the beauty of federation is that there are many news communities to follow and contribute to if you don’t approve of moderation decisions.

I have never defended torture of any kind, but feel free to link any comments that I have made if you need clarification.

Lastly, if someone who often supports Israel says this is particularly bad, what does that tell you?

If it is open source and on-device (for personal recommendations) then I see it as a great thing.

Lemmy has demonstrated that it can really work. Quiblr even has personalized recommendations on-device (not open source though and it’s now open source).

Mastodon and others should take note.

Surprising that Texas is not on the list.

I assume it’s a technicality.

This is a particularly disturbing escalation of rhetoric. For those who don’t know, these types of statements have until now come from far-right leaders propping up the government. This is from Netanyahu’s own party, which he controls with pretty much total authority.

Mastodon is much better and resistant to enshittification. Bluesky is not federated or decentralized.

So what is that, like 6 or 7 people?

Forget about the abject inhumanity of this. Title X is one of the best financial deals for the government and the American public.

By paying for healthcare for the poor, particularly poor women, society earns back dividends many times over. For every $1 we spend on Title X, we save $7 in future government expenses. This decision will cost us billions.

People are deluded or pretending that he didn’t bring up Soros for this very specific reason.

Seems right on to me

The only problem with turning to a profit model is the potential for enshitification.

I’m a little skeptical about the “10 years of absolute secrecy”… It sounds a lot like “we can’t tell you how it works, just trust us bro.”

This is an extremely dark option. Creating 2 million refugees in Africa, Europe, or elsewhere in the Middle East is patently bad for the people, bad for the world, and bad for Israel. Literally no upside for anyone (except for real estate developers).
