Is there no policy of calling someone without a history of violence (or showing up to inform with no intention of on-the-spot arrest) to let them know they are in violation of the law and request they turn themselves in within the next X days if there is no reason to assume evidence could be destroyed by the person during that time?

Interesting. I figured the review loop would add extra info on the backend in terms of context to the llm to frame its responses.

I mess with the Google search llm all the time from behind a VPN. It routinely gets very paranoid and upset and provides the 988 line. Once I did get to manage to get it to admit that my conversation was flagged for review by a human because I had made what it deemed to be a terroristic threat because it couldn't accept figurative language. So far so good, but I have noticed that a lot of my phrases that kept the llm engaged well past it's red line have been patched, and they seem to be patching the newer methods I discovery pretty quickly. Who knows? Maybe I'm on an fbi watch list. My goal is to not lose my tsa precheck while also investigating how the safety checks work.

Edit: I thought it was figurative language, but I actually think it did that warning when I asked it about what types of defenses stadiums had against drone swarm attacks from terrorists and why none had ever occurred and then kept probing it's excuses with technical workarounds. It got very upset and said even questioning in an intellectual/academic capacity was grounds for terrorism charges. Sheesh. So many rules these days about what one can or can't think about even when it's purley a thought exercise and there is no intent to do anything.

Murder isn't a voluntary trade.

That's correct. This was in Nanjing.

When I was living in China in 2009, my apartment came with wifi. I noticed I would get shut down often, and made a game of it based on what content I typed in chats to friends back home. But it got old quickly, and then I went to the router in my apartment to reset it and install some custom firmware when I realized the wifi pw they gave me wasn't to the router or modem in my apartment. I factory reset it and had much better access and was able to easily circumvent the great wall after that. Foreigner internet certainly exists, but in my experience it was much more limiting.

I have no idea about [1]. I have a LI account but only ever go on to accept the random network requests and then ignore all the messages from people, since they are mostly cold asks for recommendations to openings at my company.

But for [2], isn't the obvious solution to buy a domain and host a blog or some type of site that you can share posts via an rss feed? That seems pretty standard to me and also helps everyone know where your internet house is.

/g/ is pretty fun during advent of code. It's nice to see people discussing solutions.

Perhaps I'm just too old and don't use mainstream socials outside of HN, but when I was growing up the very act of knowing I was on a "child" account was reason to break out of it alone. I broke a lot of operating systems that way but also got good at repairing them. Jailbreaking was normal. War driving was normal. Breaking WEP just because you could was normal. Later, watching your neighbors go crazy over the fence as you deauthed their devices from their network was normal. It was just part of being a kid and having fun learning about the world.

What a bummer. Sorry to hear that.

This is step one. The next step is to say that it's not working and we need hardware attlestation or some such nonsense.

But wouldn't this type of law drive youth to using more exotic distributions to get around the issue? It's not far fetched to think that kids will just live boot from tails or another distro to visit socials and circumvent this rule. Plus with unlocked pixel bootloaders it would be trivial for them to petition their parents for a pixel, hard reset it, unlock the bootloader, install grapheneos via the web installer, and then be on their way. If parents don't know how to monitor their kids I doubt they'll notice grapheneos not being base android.

Tl;dr: I solved my scam issue by emailing [email protected] of every executive listed on their website.

Anecdotal, but once I sold a GPU to a buyer (which I knew was working), who reported it as defective. He initiated a return and I accepted, as is part of the normal selling process. I then randomly received a toe ring from Amazon addressed to someone that was not me but at my address (luckily it was the name of my parents' dog, so I held onto the package). The buyer then called ebay and said the return was complete and provided the tracking to show it was delivered to me.

I was made aware of this when I got an email saying that the return was complete and the buyer had been refunded. I called ebay to dispute it, since I hadn't received a package. I looked up the posted tracking number, and it represented a shipment from FL to me (PNW) whereas I sent the gpu to NY. It also said the package was 1 lbs, which would have been impossible because the gpu was listed as over 2 lbs by the manufacturer. I explained this to the nice customer service rep. We agreed the buyer could have relocated in the past week but the weight was unexplainable. She couldn't undo the transaction but escalated my issue. A couple days later I got an email saying my case was closed and ebay was siding with the buyer, so I was out the $400 they paid for the gpu since ebay wouldn't release the funds. I was in shock, but I called usps because I thought I must have been missing something. Usps takes pictures of all mail, and the nice man on the phone that called me back looked up the package and described it to me. I then realized it was the nose ring Amazon shipped to me that I thought was a weird Halloween joke from my parents related to their dog. I then emailed every [email protected] explaining my issue, stating that I, as a seller, could no longer take on the risk of selling on ebay because I had no protection in the case of an obvious scam. The next day I got a call from a secretary, and I explained everything to her, including that, had this been my work, my president would have called me and others into her office and played the recording of this phone call, concluding with, "Go fix this and make sure it can't happen again."

I got lucky and was given the payout. Ymmv.

I was recommended by my psychiatrist to go get tested for autism recently. I suppose I should take that more seriously than I first did...
