"The mirage of AI deregulation"
> But the pattern itself—the systematic preference for executive discretion over deliberative process—reveals an approach to governance that will shape AI policy regardless of how individual cases are decided. This is not deregulation. Not in the least. It is hyper-regulation by other means.

It turns out the leader of the #GreenParty of 🏴 and 🏴 previous had an account on Mastodon (hello @ZackPolanski 👋 ) and so did Green MP for #Brighton Pav' (hello @sianberry 👋)
So I emailed the party to ask if they would consider moving away from #Twitter/X in light of recent events and reboot a Mastodon effort.
I shared links to mastodon.green and a set of UK-based instances, including toot.wales.
You too can email office@greenparty.org.uk to ask that they get an official #Mastodon account.

TIL: The earliest use of the word "terrorism" identified by the Oxford English Dictionary is a 1795 reference to tyrannical state behavior, the "reign of terrorism" in France."
The term was coined to describe the actions of the state during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, where agents of the Committee of Public Safety, referred to as "Terrorists," enforced the government's policies with violence against perceived enemies.

@inthehands Interesting thread!
As an aside, I recently learned that an ICE agent has never died in the course of performing their duties. Of course, ICE is young enough to still be on its parents health insurance. Even the antecedent agencies agencies had not lost an officer since 1946 (during the transfer of a detainee). Much safer than being a classroom teacher.

@inthehands I'm going suggest reading the first half of "Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife" by Col. John Nagl. https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Eat-Soup-Knife-Counterinsurgency/dp/0226567702 You're essentially fighting an insurgency of well-equipped fanatics who lack local support, logistics, and discipline. Nagl is smart, he revised the Army's counterinsurgency manual, and he compares how the British in Malaysia effectively defeated communist insurgents while still keeping the public on their side.
The book is not so much on military operation but on winning hearts and minds, showing how one army did and another army didn't in very similar conflicts.
That's essentially your challenge - direct armed confrontation will not work, surrender will not work, but the current tactics seem to slowly be working. Tracking them, getting in their way, goading them til they lose discipline, not letting them have a good night's rest, pressuring companies not to do business with them - all that corrodes their morale. The danger is someone else will snap and shoot another poet in the face again. But they've already proven they'll do that casually so there's really no additional risk.
They're an occupying force. Make them feel that every day until they leave. Make every Minnesota winter day that much colder and more miserable for them. Be like the northern Midwest winter and make them hate life.

This is still super rough, but it should offer a decent idea of what I'm trying to do with DNS Kitchen's "easy mode". The goal is to configure DNS for common scenarios without having to subject people to traditional DNS UI (which can be confusing and intimidating). By focusing on specific situations and offering a "wizard"-like step-by-step process for collecting relevant data, we can try to make DNS a little less awkward for people. :chef_happy:

European fascism was and has always been a response to the siren call of USA plantation #slaveocracy, #ManifestDestiny and post-Civil War #JimCrow. if capitalists have to pick between enriching themselves thru slavery or the labor of free citizens, they will go with slavery.

Things Warren was wrong about include (but are not limited to):

Chiat acts like those are somehow disqualifying.

I'm one of many people testifying CON on HB 2112 (age verification for "adult content") at tomorrow's hearing here in Washington.
If you're against 2112 -- or age verification for "adult content" in general ... why? After I've testified, I'll follow up with email to the committee with people's perspectives.
And if you're a Washington state resident, it's easy to "sign in CON" to the hearing on HB 2112 to let legislators know you oppose age verification. Just select your position (CON), fill out the rest of the form, and click "Submit Registration"
