LMDE is life

Pricing systems, not tariffs or inflation, are fast becoming the real cost of living.

lol. This article is poorly written and transparent ragebait, without even the most basic grounding in economics.

edit: which is not to say the opinion is wrong, per se, but it is not grounded in a firm understanding of the topics the author wants to discuss.

They killed 3rd party apps. I left when my app stopped working and lemmy conveniently worked with some of the same clients that reddit was breaking.

I am only a dabbler, but every time I see a new “LLM-detection” tool, I have been able to defeat them with simple changes to parameters and/or prompts.

It is a whack-a-mole game where detection will lag evasion. For situations where authorship really matters, I suspect low-tech countermeasures like proctored exams are going to be necessary.

Oh fuck all the way off.

People mean the liberal international order (of western democracies) when they refer to “the West.” It is a shorthand. If the phrase can’t even come up without your toxicity, I’ll just block you and remove the source of the annoyance.

I was agreeing with you… but okay. The time period you specified is dominated by the largely uncontested ascendancy of the liberal international order, aka the West.

No. Stop doing that.

There is no Department of War. The Dept. of Defense is named in law and would have to be renamed by Congress. Renaming it without Congress is unlawful and using any taxpayer money for it is likely illegal.

Correct. It would take Congress to change that, which it seems like they wont get. Hence, the attempted name change is unlawful and - to the extent that they use DoD resources to do it- it is also likely illegal.

No, you are mistaken at least to some extent. I work in an adjacent field to those mentioned.

There are definitely groups like that (legal aide) which are not scams; I work with them regularly, so I know with certainty that some of these groups help clients attain their desired outcome in cases where they otherwise would not have prevailed. These groups dont usually charge nearly enough to offset a lifetime of benefits from a Federal agency… which is the end goal in many such cases.

So theyre not all garbage. Unfortunately I dont really know how to tell them apart at the outset, though, and listing the ones I know would quickly ruin any persec I may have here.

In my (professional) experience, people with expert help do tend to have better outcomes when dealing with the federal bureaucracy.

I just want to reiterate: if you or a loved one are attempting to overturn an unfavorable decision, (e.g. by the VA regarding disability,) it pays to have help.

Despite their bullshit lies, neither Hegseth nor Trump possess the authority to rename the Department of Defense. Their attempts to do so are unlawful and we should not kowtow to them by using it.

edit: to be clear, it is established in law and therefore making the change would require another law passed by Congress.

And turmeric… oniony Fish curry. It would remind me of my countless months living in various extended stay hotels.

It is a bit different but people unfamiliar likely wouldnt really be able to tell the difference. You’d still want to strain it out probably.

Indeed, you have grasped the salient point.

I mean… not only is it not very concerning, I barely noticed. If not for news about it here on fediverse, I might not have known. I guess I dont visit the corpo internet all that much.

Apparently just be my own natural self.

I dont need to read much past the title. Anyone who uses the term “degeneracy” unironically in trying to control the private lives of others is probably a shitbag and they definitely should be told to fuck off.
