2·20 hours agoI have dual citizenship with Russia and India, apparently. Where is all this hostility coming from? I’m not someone who elected Trump, especially since I apparently spend half my time in Russia and half in India.
Unfortunately a large part of America is racist and are fine with less due process if it gets rid of brown people. People knew what they were getting when they voted Trump, and the Supreme Court saying brown skin can be used as part of a basis for detaining people to determine if they have legal immigration status is a sad and horrible reality. The loud urban part of America has protested, the quiet rural part has not – merely indicating they find it distasteful. I hope I am wrong and you are completely right and there is a sweeping change of power, kicking out all the MAGA Republicans.
Also, calling me Ramesh is really not kind to the Indian Americans and Indians who use Lemmy. I think it’s less likely Lemmy users are named Vlad, but still, this is actually possibly hurtful to some people. “Garbage country” is also really a hurtful thing to say when Lemmy can be used worldwide.

3·20 hours agoNo, I wasn’t, nor was I trying to pretend to somehow support MAGA to make it seem like they are more popular than they are. There are changing demographics in the USA but a large number of people are still rural and white. My understanding is most of them want this and they are unhappy with MAGA’s economic policies but like the immigration changes and what is happening with ICE.

71·20 hours agoI still don’t understand what you are getting at or if you are trolling.
Do you think I am a paid person outside of the USA? Is that what you are saying?
Actually, I estimated this statistic again and you’re right that 65% may be overly high.
I based 65% on the fact that much of the USA is rural and rural USA is predominantly white and against immigration and against the changing racial makeup of the country.
That right there is a good 50 percent of the country, approximately, and nearly all of them feel that way, except for the youngest people in those areas possibly. So that right there would be over 45%. I also think it’s a decent guess that 20 percent of people in cities support harsh immigration policies. 55-60% is a better guess. It is a guess, and there may be polls that contradict that statistic, but it’s also been shown that many racist people are either less likely to answer polls or simply lie when polled. It is a shockingly large amount of people who support a lot of ICE’s cruelty, even if they dislike some aspects of how it is being done. If you can provide a better estimate with reasoning, I’d be interested in reading it.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•OpenAI says dead teen violated TOS when he used ChatGPT to plan suicideEnglish
92·21 hours agoYou’re wrong about ECT. It nearly always results in permanent memory loss and even if occasionally some patients seem “better” because they remember less of their lives, it does not negate the evil of the treatment. Worse than that, psychiatrist universally deceive patients about the risk of memory loss, saying memory loss is temporary, when most patients who have had ECT report that the memory loss is permanent. There were people who extolled the virtues of lobotomies decades ago and the procedure even won a Nobel Prize. The reason it won a Nobel Prize is because patient experiences mean nothing compared to the avarice of a psuedoscientific discipline that is always looking for the next scam, with the worst most cruel and most expensive scams always inflicted on the most vulnerable. It is hard and traumatic for patients who have been exploited by their supposed “healers” to come forward with the truth. It is incredibly psychologically agonizing to admit to being duped. Patients are not believed then or now. You are completely wrong.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•OpenAI says dead teen violated TOS when he used ChatGPT to plan suicideEnglish
75·21 hours agoChatGPT was not designed to provide guidance to suicidal people. The real problem is an exploitative and cruel mental health industry that can lock up suicidal people in horrific locked facilities at huge profits while inflicting additional trauma. There is a reason many people will never call 988 or open up to a mental health clinician about suicidal feelings given how horrible and exploitative locked facilities are. This is not ChatGPT’s fault, it’s the fault of a greedy mental health industry trying to look good, by locking up the suicidal instead of engaging with them, while inflicting traumatic harm on patients.

443·21 hours agoThe elephant in the room that no one talks about is that locked psychiatry facilities treat people so horribly and are so expensive, and psychologists and psychiatrists have such arbitrary power to detain suicidal people, that suicidal people who understand the system absolutely will not open up to professional help about feeling suicidal, lest they be locked up without a cell phone, without being able to do their job, without having access to video games, being billed tens of thousands of dollars per month that can only be discharged by bankruptcy. There is a reason why people online have warned about the risks and expenses of calling suicide hotlines like 988 that regularly attempt to geolocate and imprison people in mental health facilities, with psychiatric medications being required in order for someone to leave.
The problem isn’t ChatGPT. The problem is a financially exploitative psychiatric industry with horrible financial consequences for suicidal patients and horrible degrading facilities that take away basic human dignity at exorbitant cost. The problem is vague standards that officially encourage suicidal patients to snitch on themselves for treatment with the consequence that at the professional’s whim they can be subject to misery and financial exploitation. Many people who go to locked facilities come out with additional trauma and financial burdens. There are no studies about whether such facilities traumatize patients and worsen patient outcomes because no one has a financial interest in funding the studies.
The real problem is, why do suicidal people see a need to confide in ChatGPT instead of mental health professionals or 988? And the answer is because 988 and mental health professionals inflict even more pain and suffering upon people already hurting in variable randomized manner, leading to patient avoidance. (I say randomized in the sense that it is hard for a patient to predict the outcome of when this pain will be inflicted, rather than something predictable like being involuntarily held every 10 visits.) Psychiatry and psychology do everything they possibly can to look good to society (while being paid), but it doesn’t help suicidal people at all who bare the suffering of their “treatments.” Most suicidal patients fear being locked up and removed from society.
This is combined with the fact that although lobotomies are no longer common place, psychiatrists regularly push unethical treatments like ECT which almost always leads to permanent memory loss. Psychiatrist still lie to patients and families regarding ECT about how likely memory loss is, falsely stating memory loss is often temporary and not everyone gets it, just like they lied to patients and families about the effects of lobotomies. People in locked facilities can be pressured into ECT as part of being able to leave a facility, resulting in permanent brain damage. They were charlatans then and now, a so called “science” designed to extract money while looking good with no rigorous studies on how they damage patients.
In fact, if patients could be open about being suicidal with 988 and mental health professionals without fear of being locked up, this person would probably be alive today. ChatGPT didn’t do anything other than be a friend to this person. The failure is due to the mental health industry.

35·19 hours agoUnlike with most ice agents that can’t be identified, a judge can try to find out who arrested this woman by contacting the person running the airport.
The federal judge could order that the person running the airport terminal be detained and provide information to the court about which department of homeland security employees were responsible. If the person refuses to answer, the person could be arrested and held in contempt in a cell until they comply.
The federal judge could then issue an arrest for contempt of court orders for the department of homeland security officers responsible for violating the order and detain whoever deported this woman until she is brought back.
If this judge did this, it would likely be appealed immediately to the supreme court who would side with trump who would oppose it, the homeland security officers would be released, and nothing else would be done.
There is no mechanism to enforce a judicial order that protects immigrants when you have a supreme court that rubber stamps trump immigration policy.
Although this is terrible, probably 55% of the country still supports harsh immigration policies, even policies that lack process and violate judicial orders, if it gets rid of more brown people, and they have elected the most ruthless anti-immigration anti-POC people to get that done. In general, many American conventions of “process” and “rights” have been illusory in nature for a long time: people had rights if they had money, otherwise there was no enforcement mechanism. Many of the most important rights, like a right to a jury trial, can be taken away by giving people a jury trial that is unfair (no meaningful representation, no meaningful investigation, evidence withheld, a jury that only represents a certain segment of society) and even now it is mostly impossible to appeal such sham trials. Now, a person of color, even with meaningful representation, has no rights if they are Latino and they can’t prove they were born inside the USA.
Imagine that poor girl’s terror. She probably debated whether to stay at home and is so upset she decided to travel.

Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk Had Grok Rewrite Wikipedia. It Calls Hitler “The Führer.”English
67·1 day agoMusk is clearly a Nazi.
First, there’s the Nazi salute. There’s no reason to do that unless you are a Nazi.
Second, Nazis called Hitler my Furer, and he’s rewriting it this way specifically for this reason. It is an honorific title and he’s showing honor to Hitler.
Third, Musk deflects from accusations he’s a Nazi (“that’s a crazy thing to say”) but he never responds by saying “What Hitler did was horrible and I’m not a Nazi and detest their ideology” which is what someone would say if not a Nazi.
The scary thing about this is Musk will soon control a large robot army. At that point, he could appoint white supremacists to lead the robot army and pick up where Hitler left off. This is a real threat for Jewish people as well as other minorities.
Really? How do I tell the right people?

This is a really cool idea. Any work in the direction of more linux phone technology is always good. There are some linux phones out there already, and these devices have had some problems which is why there hasn’t been more adoption. If there is a way to do this with RISC and have decent battery life, that would be really exciting. Have you tried installing Phosh on it?
The newest, and most exciting, option right now is flx1s (https://furilabs.com/flx1s-update-2/).
One of the biggest problems is that, to my knowledge, there is no standard linux mobile App standard or, if there is, it’s not often used. There is a group working on this issue right now (https://www.fierce-network.com/wireless/mobile-linux-standards-group-formed).
For example, if I am using mobian or something similar and download thunar using sudo apt install thunar, then if I run thunar, it will run, but certain menus won’t display easily. In phosh, any sub-menu boxes will also pop up as a smaller pop-up box and to close it, you have to scroll through Apps to find the pop-up box and then close it. Generally I may be able to see the file structure on the left in Thunar but have a hard time seeing what’s on the right.
There are also things that can happen in which default panels (like the side panel) take up so much room that you can’t see what’s going on. For instance, if you try running gimp in phosh, you can barely see the image panel by default.
There are some Apps designated as mobile-friendly but even these sometimes don’t display correctly. Perhaps there should be a way to make it harder for Apps to be installed that don’t meet mobile standards and have weird menu glitches, such as making it harder to download Apps from repositories that are not mobile.
I’d really like to be able to run something like “flatpak-mobile install librewolf” and just get something that at least had a file with it to tell phosh how to display menus in the best way, if not a slightly altered librewolf.
Many people who used phosh would say “well just use waydroid” but the problem is that with play integrity api, many of those Apps won’t work.
In order for banking Apps and other Apps to run on linux and people to develop software, there really needs to be more adoption of mobile linux.
And yes, battery life was atrociously bad and completely unusable on the linux mobile devices I tested, which were a few years ago. It also got way too hot when just not doing anything, which was terrible. (In other words, if I took the device with me to Starbucks and got a coffee, it might get way too hot in my pocket; if I took it out and used the Internet for 20 minutes, the battery could die, and even if it didn’t, if I were waiting for a call during that time there was a good chance I wouldn’t get it. After getting back home, it would be totally dead and need a full recharge.)
Right now also, the main competitor to linux phones is Graphene OS with FOSS Apps and Graphene OS has better security features if someone is worried about their phone being stolen or seized. Data security is important to me and Graphene OS has a rate-limiting throttle to the password entry that even cellebrite can’t easily bypass and a function to auto-reboot. If the political situation in my country deteriorated even more, and arbitrary arrests started to happen more often, I would much rather be arrested with a Graphene phone than a typical linux mobile phone. Mobile linux for certain distros such as Mobian still offers robust encryption in before first unlock (bfu) if the password can withstand brute force attempts, but since there’s no hardware rate-limiter, the password has to be much more complex. Also, most people who use their phone frequently are not in BFU mode.
Graphene OS also requires a Pixel which does not have hardware switches and so a person must trust that there’s no exploit allowing certain components to be turned on or off which can be concerning when there is no way to definitively measure what the cellular modem is transmitting. Call me paranoid, but given what I know about how easy it is for someone smart to exploit computers, I actually don’t want a cell phone microphone to have power when I am talking about sensitive things or inputting passwords into computer systems and I do not want a camera that is built into the lcd part of the glass screen and can’t be easily covered because of the need to swipe up nor turned off without a switch, even if the cell phone has an incredible operating system that is very secure. Graphene, unlike most mobile linux distributions, is mostly very usable with no battery life issues, no weird display problems where Apps don’t display correctly and menus don’t work correctly, and no random reliability problems, mostly. I understand not wanting to rely on anything involving Android, however, given Google’s recent aggressive anti-privacy stances.
I’m excited about FuriPhone (https://furilabs.com/) and Purism’s Librem 5v2.
The thing that I believe would help Mobile Linux most right now is people having conferences and getting to know each other and discussing standards, specifically on user experience, linux mobile app standards, battery life, and reliability.
There are so many smart people in mobile linux and eventually it will get great but right now there are major problems with the user experience because of how Apps are displayed and battery life as well as things like reliability.
So any way to gather people to discuss the mobile linux user experience and to come up with standards to reduce these issues would help, or even to help list all the different problems so that they can just be enumerated and acknowledged and worked on would help.
Another way that would help is to have a mobile linux security group or conference to discuss things like standards for making mobile linux more secure from brute-force attacks if stolen or seized after being unlocked.


That sounds so hard to do locally. I don’t even know where I would begin. Is that expert level stable diffusion?
