I don't think so. I think some lower courts did, but the Supreme Court changed the rules to ban "blanket injunctions," so every wronged party has to bring their case to the courts and considered on a case-by-case basis. I think there's a case about tariffs that the Supreme Court is supposed to rule on but haven't yet. The admin, right now, can seemingly do anything it wants by just tying up courts with large numbers of illegal acts. They face no consequences for doing so, and the Supreme Court is mostly complicit (and illegitimate).

Even the paid models I've tried do that. The style LLMs use seems deeply ingrained. Either companies do it on purpose, or it's just the result of all the companies using similar training data and techniques.

Meh, most of rest of the world are also supporting this regime by still trading with the US, using their services, investing in their companies, and buying their debt. None of what's happening would be possible without the world's support.

Honestly, I'd take my fate into my own hands, and hope I could take a couple out before they took me out. Assuming I could get to a gun before they had me in their sights. Oragnaized and committed community defense could stop it from getting to that point, but the people participating also have to be prepared to die for their community.

In my area, some people put small solar nodes on top of high buildings (office, university, and apartment). The node on my roof can directly communicate with one of these nodes ~20km away. Pretty crazy tor something that can run indefinitely on a 18650 battery and small solar panel. I've heard some people just place "guerilla nodes" to extend coverage.

I always thought it was pleasant. Kinda like MXE. Have to be careful to get the ones with no other active ingredients though.

That would also crush EUs economy, and hurt all the wealthy/politicians. Many citizens would get angry, and probably vote the status quo out of power.

I agree that it still should be done, because the alternative would likely be worse. But, I think it's unlikely to happen because the people who benefit the most from the way things are won't willingly let it.

Sectioned text, lists, and em-dashes. AI also has a certain "tone."

Conservatives are likely to turn you in if you do something the state deems illegal. Which is probably going to be a lot of things soon, but even now, things like abortions and using bathrooms in some parts of the country.

Yeah, I'm guessing it's so if you "hide" the network, it will still connect to it. Anyone can scan these advertisements, then go to wigle.net and likely get a good idea of where you live/work.

Modern phones rotate random MAC addresses. For WiFi, capturing SSID probes can be enough to track somebody though (some phones also have some mitigation for that too, like not probing for an SSID after it hasn't been seen for some amount of time). Even when turned off, many phones, including iPhones, turn into BLE beacons similar to AirTags, which can be used to track you.

I once saw an old lecture where the guy working on Yahoo spam filters noticed that spammers would create accounts to mark their own spam messages as not spam (in an attempt to trick the spam filters; I guess a kind of a Sybil attack), and because the way the SPAM filtering models were created and used, it made the SPAM filtering more effective. It's possible that wider variety of "poisoned" data can actually help improve models.
