AI needs constant data to stay up to date, so i think it's still worth it.

Personally I've found a happy medium between total privacy and convenience.

Aren't studies like this part of how to solve homelessness, though? Like this method helps around 16%, then other methods can be used to help people who need more resources.

Part of the frustration with dealing with homelessness is that it's so difficult to help the most visibly homeless, so people think the programs aren't working or are lining people's pockets.

Our preregistered screening criteria were: age 19 to 65, homeless for less than 2 y (homelessness defined as the lack of stable housing), Canadian citizen or permanent resident, and nonsevere levels of substance use (DAST-10) (21), alcohol use (AUDIT) (22), and mental health symptoms Colorado Symptom Index (CSI) (23) based on predefined thresholds (see SI Appendix, Table S1 in SI Appendix, section 1.3.2). These screening criteria were used to reduce any potential risks of harm (e.g., overdose) from the cash transfer.

Kind of speaks to how bad homelessness has become that you can have pretty strict criteria and still have a ton of people who need the help.

I'm watching this thread with great interest 👀

For the US, maybe Dolly Parton?

Instances can defederate whenever they want, but skimming the sidebar and announcements, it's weirder to me that lemmy.world is still federated with lemmygrad, which seems to be very similar to hexbear.

Anyone have any insight into the difference between lemmygrad and hexbear?

Gotta have metrics by which to deny employee raises. 😔

The nazgul have flying mounts, and eagles would have been spotted immediately.

What followed would have been an aerial middle earth version of football.

Honestly, I'd still watch that movie.

Wow the potential for a /c/lemmydrama is already brewing with that admin's responses lol.

I see what they mean about petite/young looking people, but is this the hill they really want to die on? They're making proper moderation more difficult for themselves by splitting hairs.
