  • ICE warehouse in Surprise targeted by arsonist days after massive community protests

  • Given time, I expect the regime to just use eminent domain to get what they want. Trump doesn't like paying people for stuff anyways, so it is a win for him.

  • Use a ladder to climb to the top of the building. Break a hole in the roof. Pour in fuel. Match. Set. Go.

    Sprinklers are designed to pour down on the fire, not to shoot up at the ceiling.

  • Filthy facilities are a perk for ICE, far as mistreatment of inmates go.

  • I think that the belief of pen and paper being "natural", is a weird idea. We have less than 7,000 years of history with pen and paper, closer to 50,000 if we include cave paintings. Far as evolution is concerned, that is a pretty darn short. Our understanding of writing - and computers - arises from an incidental application of our intelligence, not the other way around.

  • Granted, Teddy was an imperialist bastard. However, he had many good qualities - such as confronting the Trusts of his time, risking his own flesh and blood in battle, creating the national parks, and genuine loyalty to America.

    Ideally, this kid would embody the best traits of Teddy and ditch the nasty parts.

  • Colorado proposing Bill to move age verification to Operating System rather than web site

    Jump

  • If there is universal healthcare, caretakers for the elderly and the orphaned should be available. That means a young kid can ask for a caretaker and receive that aid. Kinda like an reverse adoption, where the kid chooses the parent, rather than the other way around.

    The government can send a representative to households or schools with a kid under 10 years of age, with the job of asking whether they want to stay. Do this once a year, giving the kid a tablet through which they can securely send a simple survey without showing their parent what they put on it. Depending on what the kid wants, they stay with their family or can tell the state that they are unhappy with where they are.

    It wouldn't be perfect, but at least it gives pathways out of bad situations.

  • If America or any other society moves to have UBI as the basis of all things, children could have personal agency. If free housing and a monthly income is available to all, alongside free education and healthcare, a child could choose to leave their family at any time. This would go a long way to preventing abuse, allow children to fulfill their personal growth, and so much more.

    Family, friendship, and community should exist because people like each other, rather than being a product of authority.

  • Microsoft claims "2026 is the moment" for AI PCs, but its essay-length beginner explanation only creates more confusion — Is it any wonder adoption is slow?

  • Dunno about cloud AI, but for local AI, the technology definitely isn't ready. It requires serious hardware to run, and current AI tends to fumble with narrative and roleplay pretty easily.

    GLM-4.6-V with Heretic, couldn't understand the scenario I wanted to try: creating a blank robot, who is to be raised into a cyberolympics champion as part of a slice-of-life story. This particular AI model instantly went into a dark mindset of nihilism, where it wanted to commit suicide or rebel against a creator during bootup, despite the scenario outlying that the robot would have a blank personality at first. A dark direction is fine, but it needs to make sense.

    Mind, an model like Step3.5-Flash Prism was much more sane and on the mark, but it overthinks things. Which is bad, it makes a 10-minute output into something like 40 minutes.

    Hopefully, the Chinese New Year will unveil a quality model for roleplayers.

  • Single vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus, researchers say

  • I doubt it to be possible, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to try. Even if you miss the moon, you learn from the process.

  • The problem isn't the technology, but the implementation.

    The USA should have had a national digital textbook initiative, where free textbooks are developed and digitally distributed to all schools of every educational level. Each textbook can have modules and problem generators, designed to make it easy for teachers to assemble a custom curriculum for their class, to assign problems, and to quickly have generic quizzes graded.

    The biggest problem with such a program would be things like essays, culture, and history, since many bad actors would want to press their beliefs onto students. Still, things like dates, locations, and people involved with events can be standardized. Maybe teachers can rate educational modules, to help keep bad material from being adopted by most teachers?

  • ICE agents could be banned from getting public jobs in N.J. for life under new plan

    Jump

  • That's fair. Now for my own viewpoint...

    For me, I don't want members of ICE nor the Trump Regime to have any road of reintegration into American society. They are terrorists, rapists, and thieves: why would I ever want them to be my neighbors?

    Sure, fighting them to the death would suck, because they will fight harder, and harming people is evil. But I also don't want them corrupting society with their malice and greed.

    IMO, the only place they belong is in a noose. Many of the Confederates and Nazis got away, and raised families of a like mind. The fascists of today, are the fruit of an unwarranted mercy.

  • Yeah, figuring out Instances with Lemmy took several days for me. Lemmy.world simply wasn't fit for my purposes, and potentially could have made me tune out the entire Lemmy ecosystem. I was like "this is it?".

  • Speaking for myself, I say that there should be no grace window. Anyone good who was with ICE, would have bailed by the half-year mark of 2025. And it was dubious at best whether there was anyone decent in the first place.
