This removes the primary advantage of opencode, easy access to many models to avoid hammering a single service. Absolutely unusable to anyone with a pro sub.
They don't need to, and shouldn't, use this service. It was not made for them and I doubt sincerely that it was made to harm them.
There were direct victims, but you also forget that the US now has a shared trauma over the handling of the Epstein situation and its systematic suppression, the gaslighting, and anything which continues to fuel discussion is a good thing, until the day that it has been properly addressed.
maybe true you delivered, but "You're a loser" is almost standard clickbait, i don't agree with clickbait is only active deception. "if you do X, you're LOSING OUT (no elaboration in title)" is almost a textbook example of clickbait.
Yup. My immigration attorney said that (when I was dealing with a brief lapse in status, due to a divorce and moving and due dates) "as a white person, and a man working in a high paying job", I was "pretty much at the bottom of the totem pole for USCIS enforcement efforts" while we resolved my case.
And sorry, given ICE's mandates, ruled temporarily okay by SCOTUS, that color of skin, accent, name are effectively "probable cause" for detention, I'd say her perspective is absolutely aligned with current enforcement priorities.
If the government was prioritizing people with darker skin, it would go after visa overstays first, because that’s the primary illegal immigration route for asia and africa. (There is virtually zero illegal immigration from Europe. E.g. only 0.6% of DACA recipients are European. They don’t factor into this discussion at all.) Instead, the government has been focused on border crossings from latin america, where the average person is half white. Maduro’s wife whom they just arrested is a white blonde lady! Kilmar Garcia and his wife are whiter than anyone on The Jersey Shore. Meanwhile, illegal Indians are flying under the ICE radar.
Clearly the distinguishing factor is money, not melanin.
By Europe you are excluding Russia right? Mexican/Latin American wealth is correlated to skin color like it is in the USA, so most of the illegal border crossings are from those with darker skin, not just the “average Mexican.”
I’m not excluding Russians. They make up a vanishingly small percentage of DACA recipients, for example: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/data/daca.... I don’t know where folks got this idea that there were tons of europeans overstaying their visas. Visa overstays are a route for Asian and African illegal immigrants. And however you slice it, those folks are going to be darker, on average, than the folks coming over illegally from latin america.
This whole narrative is silly. The government is prioritizing stopping the flow of poor people more than people who can afford a plane ticket. Obviously.
DACA are just dreamers, by that measure most DACA holders are probably South Korean (left over from babies who came here in the 80s and early 90s, and can’t go back because to South Korea of harsh conscription rules). I’m not sure what you think DACA has to do with real illegal immigration (actual adults coming to the USA and overstaying their visas, not just babies).
It seems odd that the US government doesn't have enough resources to just go after everyone whose in the country illegal, and instead has to prioritize and triage based on e.g. money or melanin. I think people would find it more fair if they just went after everyone whose illegal.
Back in the day it was US media companies which started the big war against piracy and for the use of DRM. It was pushed by US media companies and the US government upon Europe. Same as with software patents. It's weird that now US companies complain about local media rights holders doing their censorship thing when the whole thing was started by the US.
