Debanking on wikipedia

So with the new regime executive order declaring it essentially illegal to be unhoused, people at risk might be thinking, "how do they classify me as homeless if I am surfing between friends or family or shelters?"

One of the big answers to this is the practice of debanking. If your financial institutions catch wind that you don't have a stable address, they will try to close your accounts and send your balance as a cashier's check to your last legal address. At-risk people understand the many, many scenarios where even just this process could be devastating.

Some unexpected ways you can get de-banked:

• your apartment doesn't have a legal address

• you lose home owner's insurance or your coverage changes and your bank decides it doesn't like that

• your building's owner defaults

• fire

• flood

You may be at risk and just now realizing it. If you have an MH diagnosis and you don't have two back-up legal addresses, you are on this Ex O.

Anyway, do not get debanked. Have legal address back-up plans EVEN IF YOU TRY TO FLEE THE COUNTRY because you do not want the regime classifying you as someone they want to put in the camps.

Sorry for another US-centric post.

IT WAS CONTEXTUALLY INFORMED BY THE VIBES

Just finished up a fourth read of the book, second viewing of the newer movie, and third play-through of the NES game.

It's really starting to seem like "Jay Gatsby" wasn't actually such a great guy after all. This would honestly be weird because none of F. Scott Fitzgerald's other books are sarcastically named, he isn't like Charles Dickens that way. Even in Tales of the Jazz Age, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is pretty curious, even if there isn't a lot of jazz in that one.

Anyway Gatsby stalked his ex and probably shouldn't have encouraged drunk driving.

What do you think, sarcastic book title? Was he actually bad and not so great?

Personally seen this behavior a few times in real life, often with worrying implications. Generously I'd like to believe these people use extruded text as a place to start thinking from, but in practice is seems to me that they tend to use extruded text as a thought-terminating behavior.

IRL, I find it kind of insulting, especially if I'm talking to people who should know better or if they hand me extruded stuff instead of work they were supposed to do.

Online it's just sort of harmless reply-guy stuff usually.

Many people simply straight-up believe LLMs to be genie like figures as they are advertised and written about in the "tech" rags. That bums me out sort of in the same way really uncritical religiosity bums me out.

HBU?

shout out to the descendants of the Niutachi people though, sorry the triscuits called you guys and their crappy confederate colony the same name

The majority of pro AI spam on the fediverse gets spread by just a handful of accounts. Usually it is people posting to one of the big "tech" pages from pro-AI PAC websites (that 74million dot org bullshit for example) or one of the billionaire mouthpiece outlets (futurism, ars technica, biz insider), and then they cross-post and repost everywhere else.

This strategy makes it so the only ways to stop seeing the shit is to get really good with personal filters or (more likely) users will block the spammer account and the communities that allow them. Notice how both of these methods also tend to block people who are bashing AI.

Seems like a behavior we need to figure out how to call out and get mods to help with? I guess Fuck AI people should start volunteering to mod Tech news? Oh no, what have I logically walked myself into...

I want to put together a stack for hobbyist midi music composition. I understand there are a few more components to it than one might expect, but I think VMPK and Qtracer are going to be part of it?

Any tutorial links or suggestions appreciated!
