Having dealt with near and distant family psychosis on more than one occasion…

The truth is that the most random stuff will set them off. In one case, a patient would find reinforcement on obscure YouTube groups of people predicting the doom of the future.

Maybe the advantage of AI over YouTube psychosis groups is that AI could at least be trained to alert the authorities after enough murder/suicide data is gathered.

Logistically / organizationally, what has to go wrong for the administration to nominate her, have her in place for less than a month, and then remove her? Like, before you send someone through confirmation, do you have a quick conversation to confirm, "I want to do X, I have expectations Y" etc and confirm that they're onboard? It sounds like Monarez wasn't willing to be a loyal obedient servant, and good for her -- but could the Trump administration really not determine that in advance?

Or was she put in that position for the purpose of being fired, just for the news story, and this is all going to plan?

You’re giving too much credit to the admin. They’re a rag tag group of below average IQ wannabes. They can’t possibly be smart about everything all the time. They can only hope people will fall in line with implied threats.

There's no explanation as to how they achieved that speed up :( it would have been better if they also wrote a post on that

> That story’s for another post, but first, here’s the recipe that got us to near-100%.

From the article - it states that speed up is part of next post.

rzzzwilson · 24 days ago
The "$" prompt is shorthand to indicate the command is run as a non-root user. If you see "# ls -lt" that indicates the command should be run as root. The problem lies with whoever set up the copy button to include the prompt as part of the copied command.

this is a widespread problem - many libraries, git repos follow this convention unfortunately

It's always worth remembering there's exactly one reason Excel is abused -- IT isn't giving "non-developers" access to tools they need to automate their work.
garyfirestorm · a month ago
Bingo. Working in an automotive OEM the entire company works on excel specifically excel vb scripts. No one knows why and no one has figured out how we got here. But it’s slow and steady abuse excel.

> Payment processors as gatekeepers is absurd, even worse the entire system is completely opaque.

Yes... but if payment processors are going to be charged in criminal cases that involve the use of their systems for purchasing things that are illegal, then they have an interest in not being in that situation.

From earlier this year:

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-whistleblower-says-maste...

> Jan 24 (Reuters) - Mastercard and Visa failed to stop their payment networks from laundering proceeds from child sexual abuse material and sex trafficking on the popular website OnlyFans, according to allegations in a previously undisclosed whistleblower complaint filed with the U.S. Treasury’s financial crimes unit.

> The whistleblower, a senior compliance expert in the credit card and banking industries, said the two giant card companies knew their networks were being used to pay for illegal content on the porn-driven site since at least 2021, and accused them of “turning a blind eye to flows of illicit revenue.”

And from 2022:

https://corporate.visa.com/en/sites/visa-perspectives/compan...

> On Friday, July 29, a federal court issued a decision in ongoing litigation involving MindGeek, the owner of Pornhub and other websites. In this pre-trial decision, the court denied Visa’s motion to be removed from the case on a theory that Visa was complicit in MindGeek’s actions because Visa payment cards were used to pay for advertising on MindGeek sites, among other claims. We strongly disagree with this decision and are confident in our position.

Given this, it is a completely reasonable position for payment processors to decide not to touch anything that they can be brought into legal liability.

They'd likely prefer not being gatekeepers of money, but if they're going to be brought into a court and sued each time someone uses them to purchase something that may be illegal, they're going to take steps to not be brought into court.

Why should they be responsible for what is hosted on OF? It’s like blaming an ISP for letting you use internet because you accessed illegal stuff.
