Of course. It’s very likely that things would be way worse, but it is not a certainty. The quoted statement is speculation.

FYI Shooting Trump will solve nothing, and only just make things WAY worse.

That’s speculation.

That’s the campaign promise the Democrats are going to give us in 2028. Not “dismantle the camps, and enact universal healthcare” but “reduce the number of people sent to the ovens by 5% per year”.

And then <Pikachu face.jpg> when Trump gets a third term instead of a prison sentence.

Tastes like almonds.

Most women married to Rs are themselves going to be Rs. It’s just as accurate to say that most husbands are voting according to the wife’s wishes.

So are unicorns.

They are locking down “certified” phones. You don’t have to have a “certified” phone, but if it is not certified, a lot of sensitive apps (Google wallet, third-party banking apps, for example) won’t work.

So all the major manufacturers are going to push certified phones, which are going to make it difficult to use non-certified apps.

Go ahead and bring it in. Quickly, please. Go ahead and do it right before the midterms and the Luigi trial.

Go ahead, insurance industry: cut your own fucking throats with this AI bullshit.

Define “grasp ideas”.

They are beginning to be able to correlate images, sounds, text (in multiple languages). If we fitted them with other sensors (chemical receptors, accelerometers, etc) and feed them sufficient training data, they would be able to correlate those as well. I would call this correlative ability the “grasping of ideas”.

Where they fail is abstraction. But, this is a failing of human intelligence as well. Some fully productive humans never develop more than a rudimentary capacity for abstraction, arguably less than LLMs have demonstrated.

Don’t get me wrong: They’re at toddler-levels of actual intelligence and only simulate greater capacity by regurgitating what they’ve learned people like to hear. But, a hell of a lot of people are guilty of the same damn thing.

Human intelligence is a spectrum. I would say that current LLMs are at about the 20th percentile on that spectrum.

That says more about my opinions on human intelligence than LLM…

They’re gonna run a Schumer/Clinton ticket in 2028.

There’s usually a lot of private data in the home folder. I feel compromise or loss of my phone is a greater risk than loss of my home folder. I’d use an SD card before I’d use a phone.

Because you, and people like you, won’t show up to the polls if this is the focus of the next election. That’s what you’re trying not to say. You’re reminding us that the MAGAts are going to show up, but that you don’t find this issue compelling enough to actually turn out on election day, and you fear that too many others feel as you do.

I’d like to see trans protections and support included in a Universal Healthcare bill that puts the entire medical insurance industry out of business. The Universal Healthcare aspect is why I’m going to the polls, and it would be nice if there were some guarantees in that to ensure that trans care is included in “Universal”.

Universal Healthcare is what I will be looking for when I go to the polls this fall. While I’m there, I’ll support every trans issue I can find. Fortunately, there isnt much anti-trans horseshit from the people who support Universal Healthcare, nor anti-healthcare horseshit from the trans community. Support for either is support for both.

It depends on how you want to do it; how your reverse proxy server is setup. I use Pangolin running on a VPS as my proxy server. It uses a tunnel (“Newt”) between web servers running on my home network and the VPS, so I don’t need any open/forwarded ports on my home router.

I’ll need to know a little more about your setup. Sending DM…

An A record maps to an IP address. A CNAME record maps to another URL. Since you are trying to map to an IP address rather than a URL, you will want an A record.

If all of your sites will be served from the same proxy server at 204.230.30.104, you can create a single, wildcard A record for *.newexample.com. This will point every subdomain to your proxy’s IP address. You don’t need to create an A record for each subdomain.

If you are planning on serving some subdomains from 204.230.30.104 and other subdomains from another proxy at 69.4.20.187, you would need multiple A records for pointing the subdomains toward their respective proxies.

If you wanted to serve from proxy running on a dynamic IP address, and you’re using a DDNS provider to point newexample.ddns.net back to your current IP address, you could use a CNAME record to point newexample.com to newexample.ddns.net.

Except for your first sentence, I would agree with you. Don’t hurt people directly though. Starting a war helps no one.

You seem to be assuming I meant some sort of unlawful harm. My phrasing was quite deliberate: I advocated no specific actions whatsoever. You brought “hurt people” and “starting a war” into this conversation; not I.

The choice of what actions to take is left to you; I am not involving myself in that decision. My advocacy is strictly limited to the choice of targets: Do not take direct action against ICE agents. They are merely a distraction from the problem class. Redirect any action you might choose to take against ICE to the people getting rich while the rest of us starve.

I will raise one point:

The point of protesting is to shame leaders into change.

Our leaders are shameless. There is no point in trying to shame the shameless. The purpose of protesting must be something else. Otherwise, protesting is pointless.

If Vance initiates 25th amendment proceedings before January 20th, 2027, he sacrifices the possibility of a second term.

Whatever you want to do to an ICE agent, do instead to the people living in the biggest house you can find.

ICE is in your neighborhood because the ruling class wants them in your neighborhood. The more you fight, the more they send to the fight. Don’t protest ICE in your own neighborhood. Protest ICE in a ruling-class neighborhood.
