  • Why is there so little discussion on the subject of AI

  • Make sure you are checking the all feed, because most of the anti-AI discussion happens on !fuck_ai@lemmy.world (then scroll past the first 4 pinned posts). It does spill to various technology communities as well. Locally only on our !pcgaming@lemmy.ca does AI become relevant.

  • CASA are an immigrants rights group that have lawyers that represent them. AARP are a retired persons' advocacy group.

    How they are used here are to name the cases of two specific decisions the Supreme Court made, so the Plaintiff(s) and/or Defendant(s)' names are just used as a shorthand reference to it. Both cases are related to the immigration effort.

    In AARP, the Supreme Court said better due process needed to be afforded and the government is enjoined from removing detainees under the Alien Enemies Act without due process and sufficient notice.

    In CASA, the Supreme Court basically wants to prevent lower courts from stopping the government from removing detainees too broadly. This is despite they themselves found a month earlier that they needed to put to a stop the administration's violations of due process.

  • Judge Restricts Immigration Agents’ Actions Toward Minnesota Protesters [🎁 nytimes gift link]

    Jump

  • Link to the court order, here. The order itself is on page 81.

    I skimmed through the whole thing, and essentially the judge weighed the protestors' sworn first hand accounts far higher than the one government official's sworn statements of just having read DHS and ICE's unsubstantiated report and parroting them, much of which was being contradicted by the video evidence that both parties supplied. Also the judge makes a small jab at the Supreme Court's malicious stupidity, footnote 33, page 77:

    An open question remains as to whether CASA’s emphasis on applying thestrictures of Rule 23 when granting class-wide relief undercuts the court’s grant of class-wide preliminary relief in A.A.R.P. The Court finds it doubtful that the Supreme Court, through reasoning alone, so sharply reversed course that it indirectly invalidated its own rule of law issued just 42 days earlier. McDonald, 792 F. Supp. 3d at 498 (“There is no reason for me to assume that the Court in CASA intended to walk back a pronouncement it made the previous month in A.A.R.P.”).

    I’ve hit a wall with tech.

    Jump

  • Edit: Don't hesitate or wait for my validation, live life the way you want, with as much or as little modern tech in it as you please.

    Have you found ways to reconnect with technology?

    My rule is that I interact with technology on my own terms and volition. I get upset if I get led or 'tricked' into an app or consuming some form of media. I access tech when I want to and am looking for something, and try to reject the idea that content should come to me in a steady stream. If I am watching brainrot it will be because I want to click and scroll through brainrot videos, not because it was the next one to play after the video I actually wanted to watch.

    If you want bliss at this endless beach, build your own little FOSS sandcastle. If it washes away, build it somewhere else, and find other people that like to build FOSS sandcastles.

  • Explosive Epstein Witness Testimony Implicates Trump, Clarence Thomas, and More in Horrific Abuse - NOTICE News

  • I have no idea where to post anything

    Jump

  • !actual_discussion@lemmy.ca

    If it's not topic specific, try this one?

    I get it, even with link posts and memes sometimes I'm not sure if I'm posting it in the right places, or if I have to trade off potential traction with how closely related it is.

    A solution I've employed sometimes is to post to two spots:

    • first in the niche community where it feels a best fit, even if it shows like 12 subscribers...
    • then crosspost to a more popular one for visibility with a link in body text to the other one, to help other people discover the niche community.

    That way you don't feel forced to only participate in the popular instances and communities.

    E.g. !boardgames@sopuli.xyz then !games@lemmy.world

    E.g.2: !vancouver@lemmy.ca then !canada@lemmy.ca

    E.g.3: !rant@lemmy.sdf.org then !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

  • Secret ICE Programs Revealed

    Jump

  • Tons of amazing reporting coming from Ken lately.

    Also that explains to me how quickly DHS and PPB were able to paint Luis Nino-Moncada as a Tren de Aragua conspirator, as it seems there are hundreds of agents looking for any kind of link to brandish people in federal custody as terrorist criminals.

    Clearly this is realizing people's longstanding fears about the US Patriot Act and then going beyond that. I'd imagine the FBI is concerned that these powers aren't being used "the right way" that there would be public interest in eventually taking those powers away from all government agencies, thanks to DHS' abuse.
