A Noncitizen Says She Was Told She Could Vote. Then Customs Detained Her at the Airport and Threatened to Deport Her.
---

The case, which hasn’t previously been reported, marks a new escalation in the Trump administration’s efforts to find and prosecute instances of noncitizen voting, despite evidence that it is rare.

New Mix'n'match gimmick: Job progress bars!

i have yet to meet a single dev or office bee who was forced to use AI and now adopted that AI and saw their workload decrease. it's actually the opposite. now they are just working 2x/3x as hard to double check the AI's "help" 😂

this is one the greatest scam AI companies pulled on everyone while destroying jobs and environments.

@Photo55 We disagree. My choice of word is multi-layered. You don’t like it. That’s fine

@TheBreadmonkey If you are going to keep her in the cellar, Ben, at least give her a proper light. A simple desk lamp or something is all that’s needed.

"AI as Social Technology" by Henry Farrell and Cosma Shalizi

https://knightcolumbia.org/content/ai-as-social-technology

An interesting examination of the similarities and differences of AI and bureaucracies, plus the challenges of making them coexist. Many good observations about AI that apply more widely.

@dangillmor I love living in a "democracy" where everyone in the country is beholden at gunpoint to a gang of nine unelected, black-robed law wizards. Very normal and cool.

"we are at the end of days. Our planet — which is, as far as we know, the only planet anywhere in the universe to support intelligent life — is literally burning as I write this, and it is burning because we are burning it. Building huge data centres to pursue the egocentric fantasies of kleptocrat pirates only accelerates that process"

Welp, Gallup is no longer a source of viable anything, let along survey data:

February: Gallup says that due to cost reasons it will no longer do presidential approval polling
May: Gallup says it is exploring "digital twin" technology that replaces human respondents with AI/LLM-generated answers

Remember the Carbon Tax of "axe the tax" fame?

That was a Conservative idea

It was the compromise proposed by the Conservatives in response to looming industrial emissions regulations

"Don't regulate it, tax it and let the market decide"

Then the Liberals were like "okay sure"

And then when the Tories got what they asked for, they moved the goalposts and we got "axe the tax" as their policy proposal

You can't compromise with conservatives

Did you know: #Forgejo always announces security updates in advance (usually at least one week beforehand) to give you time to prepare and be ready when the release is published.

Announcements are made via this tracker: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/security-announcements/issues. You can "watch" the repo or subscribe to the RSS feed to stay informed.

@urlyman oh well, that's all right then, as would be any consequences to others.

Metaphor?
I'm recall someone claiming that a fork is a metaphor. For a fork.
It didn't seem to me a useful use of language. #metaphork

@jeffwatkins ofc. It just always feels like it’s actively damaging my teeth when it’s happening…

@GossiTheDog

Rememeber: never ask “is this Microsoft security product backdoored?”

Instead ask: “how exactly is it backdoored? How many back doors are there?”
