Most Americans don’t know that Trump could use the Insurrection Act to deploy the military within cities and states if he returns to power. Write to your local media outlets and help raise awareness in your community about the dangers of a Trump second term: https://act.indivisible.org/lte/trump-insurrection-act-lte?source=mastodon&utm_medium=directpost

Write Your LTE to Stop Donald Trump From Misusing the Insurrection Act

Despite facing four separate criminal cases with dozens of felony charges, Donald Trump is back on the campaign trail and threatening to turn the United States into a military state. This is cause for alarm: he’s suggested that if reelected President, he would take advantage of ambiguities in the (ironically named) Insurrection Act to deploy the military within Democratic cities and states – an unprecedented level of military involvement in domestic affairs. And this is on top of other extreme campaign promises, including mass deportations, a renewed Muslim ban and curtailing the rights of transgender individuals, designed to attack vulnerable minorities. We can’t give him that chance. Trump should never again be in a position where he can incite an insurrection, direct our military, or implement disastrous MAGA policies. That’s why it’s critical that we do everything in our power to ensure he loses in the 2024 Presidential election. It’s simple: we need a president who believes in upholding democracy and that’s Joe Biden, not Donald Trump. Write your letter to the editor today to spread the word in your community about Trump’s threats to use the Insurrection Act to enforce his MAGA agenda. Urge readers to take action to prevent those threats from becoming a reality, by voting to reelect President Biden in the November 2024 election.

@ahelwer Hi! Could you elaborate on why? I'm currently learning Quantum Computing through the Qubit By Qubit course and I haven't learned about the Unit Circle yet within my high school classes.

What advantages does the Unit Circle provide above the Bloch Sphere? And what disadvantages does the Bloch Sphere have compared to a Unit Circle?

@cjonthehudson @somcak @dancinyogi Most definitely. In theory, you know when to switch gears. But everything has to be muscle memory, I remember stalling the engine so many times during my first rodeo on a manual.

@solarisfire @system76 And run the code hours later and having it work without having any clue why.

@binarytango I agree with this, most definitely. The fact is by Threads federating, they're fighting on *our* turf. Not theirs. We have home base advantage, we set the rules. We need to keep note of that every time a large centralized platform federates.

@evan We could probably do it like Discord with messages from blocked people, where the content is hidden until someone shows it.

It wouldn't be hiding per se, but it would definitely say that you weren't condoning the message and if we just leave the message there in the same spot, it would be able to stop bad actors from hiding comments willy-nilly. Something like the screenshots I posted below, but in the appropriate UI of course.

@Bam I think this is an extremely intelligent take on the topic. I see everybody freaking out about Threads. And I just don't see what's the problem, I get the paranoia. This place is supposed to be the "safe place" of the internet. The intelligent commentaries here, like yours, are what we are here for. But Threads coming here is a selling point, and even if we might hate it. It might encourage other platforms to federate, like Apple's "right to repair" program made other companies follow suit.

@marcan The fact that you can just as easily trick LLMs into giving you what you want makes me believe it is the literal embodiment of a people pleaser. You don't go to them for actual answers or for them to say no. I do not think I've ever been able for it to make it say no to me in a question. It's not intelligence, it's just a crude imitation at best.
