    U.S. citizen detained after violent struggle with feds in L.A. speaks out

    Jump

  • Oh, like a different location? (It kind of sounded like a different location.) Man, they are just picking up all sorts of US citizens in LA, aren't they.

  • Was this was the other person who was detained that morning at that location. The second one being that lady (also a US citizen) who was walking into her office building?

  • Another case of ICE disappearing an American citizen

    Jump

  • That's how it should be.

  • This lady was the second person arrested by them during this timeframe. The first person, a guy who was apparently defending a tamale street vendor, might have also been a US citizen.

  • The Career Calamity: Monster. com and CareerBuilder, Two of the most prominent legacy job application sites file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Together. Maybe they lost their edge.

  • I fucking loath LinkedIn! I don't go on there much, but every time I do it's 99% shameless self-promotion using vapid, one-dimensional content that's wrapped in a thin veneer of motivational speech bullshit.

    How do many people can't see through it (let alone tolerate it) is beyond me. LinkedIn embodies so much of what's wrong with modern society.

  • No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites

    Jump

  • JavaScript, AJAX, and modern web frameworks have pushed us away from displaying information in a pure and clean way. We need to go back to a better time!

    Looks at no-HTML websites

    Shit, we've gone back too far!

  • Exactly!

  • Screw that. Give the government a way to track my vitals 24/7 and sell that information off to their cronies in the private sector? No thanks.

  • Denver man stabbed his uncle to death after fight over hot sauce escalated

    Jump

  • I get the feeling there was a lot of other shit boiling away under the surface here, and the hot sauce argument was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

  • What is the most self sufficient island on the planet?

    Jump

  • They could probably use some of that thermal energy to power lighting that would grow some veggies and other low-resource plants. Although they probably aren't set up for that today.

    ETA: Turns out they are set up to use thermal energy to generate their own food, which actually makes a lot of sense given how resourceful they are as a people.

  • Elon Musk wants to rewrite "the entire corpus of human knowledge" with Grok

    Jump

  • That's not how knowledge works. You can't just have an LLM hallucinate in missing gaps in knowledge and call it good.

  • Stephen Miller driving congressional aides crazy with calls

  • He needs to get out and touch some grass.

    How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?

    Jump

  • I gave up Reddit after the great API fiasco. Once in a while I check out Bluesky, about the same frequency as I look at Mastodon. But about 98% of my social media time is spent on Lemmy.

    What is the Green Party US? What are the political views of the Green Party?

    Jump

  • I think it's a fairly old photo. It also says "future US Green Party presidential candidate" next to Stein, after she's already run as their candidates at this point 2 or 3 times. Just goes to show how far back these connections go.

    I've heard her fans claim she didn't know she would be sitting with Putin for this dinner and ask what was she supposed to do, like she was a powerless victim.

    I don't know, maybe she should have fucking got up and left the room!

  • What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?

    Jump

  • Especially that punisher skull motif with the Trump hair. That takes the cringe to a new level.

  • Cybertruck drivers.

    ETA: Regular Tesla drivers I give the benefit of the doubt to, because they might have bought their car before they realized Musk is a Nazi dickhead man-child. But cybertruck drivers basically knew and didn't care (or still fanboi'd over him).

  • Florida attorney general calls for deportation of U.S. congresswoman

    Jump

  • And then trying to deflect the blame and focus onto an immigrant. Typical indeed.

  • Iran asks its people to delete WhatsApp

  • Pretty good advice. Although they are probably recommending that for more than just it being a Meta data farming scam.
