Obligatory notice that they rescinded the memo, but not the action. There is still a pause. The EO on federal funding still remains.

Not home so I can't try it but do you need to be so specific to match the whole markdown syntax?

You might be able to get away with

s/#(\w+%20)*\w+\.\w{2,3}/\L&/g; /#(\w+%20)*\w+\.\w{2,3}/ s/%20/-/g

basically, matching #this%20is%20LIKELY%20a%20link.md as opposed to matching whole markdown link

lowercasing that entire match, then on a search matching stuff that looks like that, replace the %20 with a hyphen (combined into a single sed command). this only fails when an http link falls within the same line as a markdown hyperlink

As far as I understand, the training data is closed source. But, the methodology of training is open source which allows independent parties to recreate the model from scratch and see similar results. Not only can you download the full >400GB model using huggingface or ollama, but they also offer distilled versions of the model which are small enough to run on something like a raspberry pi. i'm running it locally on my machine at home with perplexica (perplexity.ai lookalike with searching capabilities)

Important information sharing from https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/12627783 !

Someone on reddit pointed out there’s an OPM rule that makes max payout at something like $25k. Let me go dig it up real quick.

Because that means a lot of people wouldn’t get paid the full amount and Trump is absolutely the kind of person who would use shit like that as an excuse to not keep paying out. I wouldn’t trust this deal because based on stuff like this it doesn’t pass the sniff test.

Apologies for (slight retch) a reddit link:

zedextol:

Per OPM, the federal government can’t legally pay more than $25k, pre-tax. This is another scam. Trump is the literal master of grift. You think he’s gonna make good on this debt after years of not paying his bills?

I've been sticking to http://photopea.com/ which does everything I need it to do. It is also usable on phone, which makes it great for quick memes

If there is going to be an apk release, will there be support for Android TV as well? Thanks for the hard work!

I think you can add https://lemmyverse.link/ before the shared url without http

https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.world/post/24313503

is an example. I saw div0 using this, seems handy! Doesn't quite work with voyager, though unfortunately

Although I realize something like this might not be possible, i'd love (in a theoretical perfect world) a delegative/liquid federation. where you can "delegate" your blocklist be an aggregate of other people's blocklist, which would allow a community of users independent of any admin to create a decentralized blocklist based upon mutual trust. To word it with an example, if I trust user A, who in turn trusts user B and C's idea of who(/what communities) to block, i'll then be blocking the same people as user B and C.

It could work in reverse too, if I trust user A who allows anime communities and user B who allows game communities, then I can see anime and game communities. If people trust me, they can see the same thing i'm seeing. Imo that would spur user interaction and make a decentralized way to not put any one person in power. If user B suddenly decides to only trust fascists, I don't have to trust them anymore and those changes would be propagated.

I don't know if that made sense, so sorry if that explanation is wack! It is loosely based on this concept that I read from awhile ago, for which I haven't thought of the possible downsides.

I was worried about this and had to check, the executive order text has a section which states it only applies to those born 30 days after the signing of the EO. Who knows what the fuck the supreme court will extrapolate that to, though.

Using firefox (and other browsers), you can set up ublacklist with this blocklist to get rid of this and a ton of other ai slop SEO garbage from your searches!

If housing isn't an economy at all, I can understand how you came to that viewpoint in your original comment. But, I feel that as a usual internet comment, it was exaggerrating and envisioning an ideal world.

We aren't living in one of those. When I read that comment I understood it as basic housing not being an economy, and luxury housing still being purchasable-- which is much more realistic. And so I wanted to give a bunch of examples in the ways that it is feasible to create basic housing even in our capitalist system today.

I mean, hopefully in the future we can get to a post-scarcity economy where not only is the housing provided for free but it is also exactly what we want. That day won't be for a long time, though..

I think there is a different take here. The government needs to subsidize large scale housing development with a focus on housing cooperatives (people owned apartment complexes, not profit-driven company owned), and change laws so that people don't have to live so far away from where they work.

You can buy your house and plot of land, but we need more places for people to get out of the street in general, and ways to put people in places where they can contribute to a city's economy. The government can also do things like reduce minimum parking requirements within a city so that apartment builders don't need to subsidize car infrastructure out of pocket. This would have the side benefit of people walking or biking to work more, which can help out local businesses in a city.

The benefit is that if there are more affordable housing options available, that gives people the freedom to switch jobs or take a leave from their job to care for their loved ones when they fall ill. The stability that is provided by having a home is so important to being able to integrate into society.

edit: adding some links for sources on housing cooperative effects on housing costs and the cost of parking requirements on new developments.
