You should do this with the Lorem Ipsum text lol
People who don’t know might think it’s some based quote from a Caesar or something
Many people I know agree with deporting illegal immigrants and see it as a problem that had been simply ignored for far too long. I found an article talking about deportation flights as early as 2023 (I’ll try to find and link it here, and here’s one from 2024) so it’s not brought on by the Trump admin, but he greatly expanded the scale and publicity.
There are disagreements though, mostly with how it’s being carried out. If the agents are unidentifiable as feds some day someone is going to fight back, or a third party will intervene thinking they are getting mugged.
And there is a big lack of due process to make sure those arrested actually meet the criteria for deportation. No way they are all 100% legit with no mistakes. If everything is legit more due process and transparency shouldn’t be an issue if your case is solid.

SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If no government shall bare arms against its own citizens. Then what is happening in LA?English6·13 days agoState govts can mobilize their national guard. The guard is the only military component that can be “deployed” on American soil for combat or civil support like riot control or disaster relief
Active duty and reserve bases exist in the US of course but are generally forbidden from being used for combat operations or enforcing domestic policies on US soil. It’s called Posse Comitatus

SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.worksto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•What games did you get down with over the holiday weekend?English7·23 days agoThey do a lot of optimization for modern hardware like supporting wide screen resolutions. They fixed major show stopper bugs along with a ton of tiny fixes and added a lot of mod-like options in the settings.
For example it’s a turn based game so your guys do everything based on “time units”. In the base game it can be a big risk to peek around a corner, see an enemy and not have time to fire or even retreat back to safety. OpenXcom can show you how many time units you’ll have left and in colors if you have enough time to shoot when you get there. Cool stuff!
The AI seems pretty true to vanilla but they put in a rule that you have at least one turn to get out of your drop ship without being fragged or rocketed by aliens. There are third party mods that make the aliens work as a team to sneak up or flank you. Those scare me so I haven’t tried it yet lol

So step one is to stop a potential flood of nasty water from overflowing to the floor
SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Besides money/capitalism, why are tech companies trying to push AI text generators over search engines?English3·1 month agoIt seems like everyone wants to get on board and try it in case it takes off.
If it works they want to be the first to get really good at it and if it doesn’t the normal search engines are still there to fall back on.
At the moment (for LLM’s) it feels like the 3DTV hype. A lot of cool technologies that were expensive and ultimately not worth it for a lot of people. Maybe that will change as time goes on.
It can only mean one thing
