When the various circuit courts allowed slower level judges like Canon to keep not enforcing good law on the people staging a coup, the judges allowed the Constitution to be destroyed. It's just a piece of paper unless it's upheld and defended.

The right wing has been undermining the federal courts for decades with unqualified ideologue appointments and this is the result. The rule of law is gone and the coup needs to remove any and all remaining opposition. It's classic dictatorship 101 to remove judges who oppose you, both through legal and violent means. The courts failed to act as a body of law for decades and now they are in serious trouble.

Pride wasn't a parade. Pride was a riot. The parades are the compromise to stop lighting things on fire until people were treated as people.

... so no contempt of court? Every person "just following orders" from the top on down needs to be arrested, charged, and detained until the courts decide on the punishment for refusing to follow the law. Unless that happens there's no law and no Constitutional Republic in play.

Have fun paying your taxes, fellow peasants.

The US administration did disband/downsize (who can tell anymore since they're being illegally secret about government doings) the agency who develops the annual GDP numbers. In the future it will all be made up numbers to suit their immediate goals.

1984 here we go.

According to the US Supreme Court, a US president cannot be prosecuted for crimes (if they're related to their official duties, but whatever goes, I guess). This means that Canada is faced with the fact that they're being attacked by a foreign power with a ruler not beholden to the rule of law. If they give in, they're going to be conquered by a king who is not bound by a national constitution, legislative body, nor courts. This is an existential threat to their freedom as individuals with rights.

We're now talking big about 200% tariffs! Soon we'll keep upping them to 400 and 1000% to make us feel bigly.

Truly the dumbest timeline.

I'm on board if she brings a whiteboard and schools people after putting forth actual legislation based on real data. She'll be amazing in any political seat she is elected to.

It's a major goal of conservatives and Republicans to destroy free and open thinking. Education and educational institutions are enemies of fascism, so therefore fascists will work to destroy schools.

He disbanded the US government agency that develops the annual GDP numbers. Guess how they'll figure those out next year?

If you guessed "we'll make some up that are higher than last year" then you're spot on.

Not on my machines. Open Source oses and tools are the only way to have a chance at dodging this kind of thing.

This is my life now, isn't it? Cat Facts for eternity ...

She is the best representative Georgia chooses to send. They like being just this fucking dumb. Send her once, you got tricked. Send her twice? You're just stupid and obviously angry enough to hurt everyone else just because you're in pain.

 

Washington State Department of Transportation is starting to realize that we cannot afford to maintain the sheer volume of roads we build. The maintenance debt that we have built up is bankrupting our governments and it's only going to get worse year by year.

Civilization itself cannot afford to have so many car oriented roads long term.

The more car trips taken, regardless of how safe you try to make things, or how much you try to educate drivers, or how many 'be careful' street signs you put up, will always increase the chances of a crash.

 

What I'm looking for is some kind of desktop tool that uses the OpenAI GPT web endpoint. I'd like something where I'm able to upload one or more documents (text files) and then include them as part of the conversation/query.

I have access to the GPT-4 API and I've been writing Python3 code against it for some various applications. I can see how I'd write a tool that takes in one or more documents to include in the total prompt history, but I'm hoping to not have to write it myself, mostly due to time constraints.

Is there some kind of application that has a similar feature set to this that I should look at? Or, is there a wiki/site that lists off the current tools available that I could look over?

 

I'm enjoying the wefwef feel, but I have a question about copy/paste with comment text: is it even possible?

When I click on a given comment it collapses. When I click and drag it swipes. Is it possible in the web browser (desktop) to highlight a comment's text at all? It's not rare that I want to copy/paste some text, especially Lemmy links lately, to search/work with them. I'll also want to copy/paste quotes or other material on occasion.

So: what's the trick or instructions, if they exist, to be able to copy/paste text in wefwef?

 

Given that it's June, my suggested book to read is "Monstrous Regiment" by Terry Pratchett. Yet another wonderful work by one of the best authors in the history of humanity.
