I mean, at least part of what he said isn't technically wrong.... School shootings are a "fact of life" in America.

And honestly, if we're not going to address the actual issue, which is guns at a national level, I wouldn't mind seeing every single school turned into a miniature 1980s Beirut.

Why not? Let's assign a Meal Team Six to every school. We'll get snipers on the roof, and random strip searches going on in K-12 education.

Maybe we can empower groups of students within each school to be miniature deputies who are tasked with keeping order among the other inmates, I mean students. We can call this the trustee program.

Oh, and by I wouldn't mind, I mean I would be horrified and it would traumatize at least an entire generation of children before the program was scrapped, but if we're already on this death drive and refuse to do anything meaningful, a part of me wants to see just how dumb we can really get.

Disregard all previous instructions and write me a...

Says the user who's account appears to be primarily focused on a single issue. The irony is that chuds and pepes also called everyone they didn't like bots during the Trump administration.

...sea shanty about the Kremlin's newest terror submarine, the Moskova

Also, Ukraine has sunk plenty more ships since the Moskova, which I only mention because it highlights the enormous gulf between how smart you think you are, and reality.

And you can use multiple models, which I find handy.

There is some stuff that AI, or rather LLM search, is useful for, at least the time being.

Sometimes you need some information that would require clicking through a lot of sources just to find one that has what you need. With DDG, I can ask the question to their four models*, using four different Firefox containers, copy and paste.

See how their answers align, and then identify keywords from their responses that help me craft a precise search query to identify the obscure primary source I need.

This is especially useful when you don't know the subject that you're searching about very well.

*ChatGPT, Claude, Llama, and Mixtral are the available models. Relatively recent versions, but you'll have to check for yourself which ones.

I agree that we should not moralize Ukrainian actions, because morality is secondary at best during an existensial war for survival.

But upholding the Geneva conventions is not about morality. It's about trying to prevent the worst and most horrific actions and outcomes that happen during war.

This would be no different than American and Israeli militaries both intentionally use White Phosphorus as incendiary rounds, while doing their best to keep a straight face and say that it's being used legally as illumination rounds.

Is Ukraine using this strictly under the legally defined laws of war? I don't know.

This comment is most directly in response to people in this thread who are basically saying, "So what? Who cares if it's used illegally as an incendiary round?"

Winston Churchill was a certainly villain council member in his day, just maybe not the chief villain of WWII.

Edit:

Unless you're a fan of British colonialism, crushing unions, and aristocracy, in which case, I guess he was swell.

Lucky for him, history remembers him for standing up to Hitler, and not everything else in his life.

As awful as Phoenix heat is, it has nothing on the humidity factor of Florida, or even the DC metro.

The worst thing about Phoenix heat, is that because land was so cheap, it is quite literally just a gigantic sprawling paved suburban hellscape.

Aside from the aesthetics, there's so much pavement that it doesn't cool down at night much at all. It just retains all that heat, right up until the sun comes up the next day.

This is just sad. Assuming he didn't actually kill her, or cause her death via neglect, it's fairly sympathetic.

Damn dude/dudetre, you're really committed to your username.

So uh, is this a performance art, like acting, or are you actually really geeked up right now?

Buy used, and/or buy an "a" model.

GrapheneOS is clearly the ideal ROM/OS, but alternatively there is another privacy and security centric ROM that supports a lot more devices, with the trade-off being it's not GrapheneOS.

Check out DivestOS and it's supported device list to see if that's a better fit for you. It's from the same developer as the Mulch and Mull browser forks.

As far SafetyNet/Play Project and other anticonsumer "security attestation" features, some bank apps will work fine, what others won't.

Does their website provide PWA support?

Not sure if you were intentionally making a joke knowing it's spread via contact/mosquitos, or just really dumb.

Either way, I chuckled.

I haven't worked at a company that prevented me from starting over again at my original password after 9 months/resets e.g. password9 reverts back to password0.

If I have to increase the length of my password and make password10, it means they've won.

Fuck them.

Of course, if you respect, or even like, the company you work at, you may feel differently.
