Holy shit, this sucks. Gene Hackman was a pretty solid actor. Sounds an awful lot like a gas or CO leak?

The federal agency also announced it has terminated cooperative agreements with the Retirement and Disability Research Consortium (RDRC)—a program for research on Social Security, retirement and disability policy issues. Ending these agreements is expected to result "in about $15 million in cost savings for hardworking Americans in fiscal year 2025," the SSA said.
So, we're eliminating inefficiencies by eliminating programs that identify inefficiencies.
Me personally, I'm okay with spending $0.10/year to have experts both inside and outside of the Social Security Administration identify problems with Social Security that they can work on.
Nah, I definitely think it was a ruse, just not this one. What the fuck were they ever gonna DO with 3 million e-mails coming in within a week? Actually analyze them all to idendify each employee's value? Nonsense.
A) It was a cheap way to bank an excuse to fire anyone who didn't respond "for cause" at some later point when they identify people they want to fire, and are looking for cause.
B) They were planning to feed all the responses into an LLM or something similar. Maybe as a way to look for certain "woke" buzzwords and make a hitlist of people to target for firing.
Well, I would, if the issue hadn't self-corrected again today.
It's pretty much just what /u/irelephant posted here. There's very little actual info present, just an HTTP status of 500 with a boilerplate nginx response page.
When it inevitably starts happening again, I'll be sure and take some captures of the full request/response details.
Yup, exactly what I'm getting. That's nginx returning a boilerplate 500 error page, which is decided not parseable JSON.
Pretty sure it's specific to lemm.ee, yeah, since my fallback when it's not working here is to just hop to lemmy.world.
Automatic bank payments are a scam, folks.
I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps an "English isn't my first language" scenario?
Generally, you want to salt ss early in the process as tasting is possible. Allowing it to cook into the food makes it more effective, and you'll usually end up using less overall.
I've seen forms of this joke quite a lot in the last few years, and it never fails to make me laugh.
Interestingly, I was able to upload these two screenshot snippets to lemm.ee, but not the game screenshots I was trying to post. I suppose that means there's SOMETHING weird about the game screenshots, but generate them the exact same way every time, including the one above that you were able to re-upload successfully.
