ToastedRavioli@midwest.socialto News@lemmy.world•Exclusive: US diplomats asked if non-whites qualify for Trump refugee program for South Africans24·2 days agoIm pretty certain that the civil rights act prevents them from only offering it to white people, as coincidentally the 1960s was when our racist and eugenics based immigration system from the early twentieth century was finally overturned
ToastedRavioli@midwest.socialto World News@lemmy.world•India wrestles with how census can count tribe that shuns contact with outside worldEnglish10·2 days agoWould flying over while using an infrared camera or heat signature sensor of some kind not work? Maybe pair it with a simple program that can mark and track the signatures independently since that would be difficult for a human? Idk it doesnt seem like it should be difficult to get a fairly accurate rough estimate that way
ToastedRavioli@midwest.socialto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Age verification and the enshitification of streaming will help reduce the decline in computer literacy in under 18s231·2 days agoNot to mention that the computer literacy of the youngest generation will literally never be on par with the youngest millennials. I started using windows OS at like 4 years old on windows 95. My first computer classes in school started when I was 6. We had years and years of just typing classes on those dummy keyboards that werent even computers. WPM was an actual marketable skill at that time that they wanted to impart on kids.
Basically younger millennials have been cemented as the most technologically literate people alive. Most of the younger generation have the same level of computer literacy as boomers and are even worse than most Gen X. Far less capable than even elder millennials. We had actual QWERTY keyboards by the time we had cellphones, so we never were part of the T9 goofiness either
Nothing is going to catch up the young adults who grew up as IPad kids, because for those of us a bit older we have been exercising actual computer skills basically since we popped out

ToastedRavioli@midwest.socialto News@lemmy.world•Trump Border Czar Whines That People Keep Saying Mean Things About ICE1·5 days agohe said, before alleging an eightfold increase in assaults on ICE personnel over the last year
Statistically I would bet that is pretty accurate considering there has been like a 38-fold increase in the number of ICE goons available to be assaulted
Shit at this point if they hate democrats just throw them under the bus too “congress voted to take away your healthcare” “congress voted to make your local food bank close down” “congress are a bunch of ineffectual morons in the pocket of donors”
