Btw, if Republicans cut Medicaid, be prepared to see disabled elderly homeless people. Medicaid pays for about 2/3 of America’s nursing home beds. When the money stops, those people are evicted, an ambulance is called, and they wind up in the ER. They have nowhere to go, no funding for another nursing home, and no emergency medical problem. Sooner or later they stop being boarded in the ER and wind up on the streets.

If all the genAI tools are as great and beloved as the corps would want us to believe, there would be no reason to force feed it to us.

Dropbox buggy? Just host your own fileserver.

When every problem is a Jira ticket...

I just want to bring up a brief point. I see a whole lot of extremist MAGA politicians asking us patriots whether or not we "believe that illegal immigrants should be afforded due process the same as a US citizen".

The correct answer to that question is NO.

No, as in NO, I don't "BELIEVE" that, for the same reason I don't "believe" that 1+1=2, or that the word "Dog" starts with a "D". It's not a question of belief. It's just a straight up FACT that the United States Constitution in the Fifth Amendment says "...nor shall ANY PERSON be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process".

"Any person" is not subject to the whims of belief, interpretation, or manipulation. It means any person.

@sophieschmieg Number theory is safe from LLMs by reusing common terms that could mean anything all over the place.💁🏻‍♂️
Fun Fact:
Canada's credit rating is now better than the country threatening our sovereignty

The Canadian and Mexican governments could set up COVID booster clinics just past the drive-in border crossings, and right near the exits at airports. Require a US passport, charge a service fee of $25, and have a kiosk to let the recipient send a personalized email to RFK Jr.
Requested SMS/RCS app feature: Delete all the old 2FA verification code messages from history. No confirmation, just do it. Even better, just do it automatically every day for everything older than 24hrs.

Me, 1996: No, "Goodtimes" is a hoax, an email can't run computer code or give you a virus

Me, 2000, miserable: Microsoft did something weird and now emails can give you a virus. Bubbleboy is real

Me, 2010: No, the "Enhance" bit from CSI is not real. There aren't algorithms that can add information to an image.

Me, 2025, miserable: Microsoft did something weird and now the "Enhance" button is real, but the details are fake. Law enforcement IS using it and innocent people will go to prison
