Mon 19:38:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "A notice on the website of Customs and Border Protection on Monday just after Trump was sworn in let users know that the app that had been used to allow migrants to schedule appointments at eight southwest border ports of entry is no longer available. The notice said that existing appointments have been cancelled."
Mon 19:38:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ CBP "Invasion One" is canceled.
Mon 19:39:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Other orders will rely more on the U.S. military and redefining who gets to become an American. But actual execution of such a far-reaching immigration agenda is certain to face legal and logistical challenges."
Mon 19:39:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Many people should have hurried while they still could.
Mon 19:40:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I know people with green cards who had plenty of money to go drinking and buy concert tickets.
Mon 19:40:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And now if they file a citizenship petition, it will probably get rejected.
Mon 19:40:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's about priorities.
Mon 19:41:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Trump plans to “end asylum,” presumably going beyond what Biden has done to severely restrict it. It is unclear what the incoming administration will do with people of nationalities whose countries don’t take back their citizens, such as Nicaragua and Venezuela."
Mon 19:42:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yes, I agree with that part.
Mon 19:42:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's no legal right to asylum.
Mon 19:42:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The part about ending birthright citizenship is not legal.
Mon 19:42:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Our Constitution grants that to anyone born here.
Mon 19:43:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Asylum in the United States is governed by a US law, the Immigration and Nationality Act. It says we have to accept a petition if someone files one, but you can stop asylum by denying 100% of petitions. The law doesn't mandate approvals.
Mon 19:43:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ if we stop approving any of them, eventually they'll stop filing one.
Mon 19:43:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Problem solved.
Mon 19:45:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Designating cartels as terror organizations and striking them wherever they're at, including Mexican soil, is smart. Mexico isn't doing anything about them.
Mon 19:45:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They have committed acts of war against us for decades by providing provisions, maps, and advice to people coming here illegally.

Mon 20:34:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Someone will still need to do the work, and when they can't get it done for sub-minimum wages that only someone without an EAD would possibly agree to, then wages will have to rise.
Mon 20:34:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The liberals claim illegals pay all sorts of tax, but what
Mon 20:35:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ What is more likely to happen is that their boss just pays them $5-6 an hour cash, and it's all they can do because no EAD, and then they're in my bathroom with a blowtorch and drywall paste and there's no payroll tax.
Mon 20:35:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's how my landlord gets workers.
Mon 20:36:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The liberals also lie that illegals can't get on welfare.
Mon 20:36:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They can't go into the welfare office and sign up for it, but if even one US citizen is in that household, they can just sign up and then declare all the illegals to be part of the household.
Mon 20:37:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If Trump doesn't require a new rule for proof of citizenship or legal status for everyone claimed to be part of the household, we'll continue bleeding cash that could be better spent on our own.

Tue 19:50:17 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ Rust is a clue (its name) about what it does to your program and code. Torvalds should have known better after he chose Google+. After Google told him to adopt something and it went under has he learned nothing? Stockholm syndrome? Helsinki syndrome?
Tue 19:51:06 │ 〖lxo〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], it is ikiwiki. and I'm about to move it out of fsfla.org, because I realized there's too much stuff not related to free software in there, and there may be more in the future, as my interests diversify.

Tue 20:02:54 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Though some of the issues were about different standards (we don't generally regard poorly documented code or pure data as object code over speculation about the existence of an alternate, preferrable source form), but a couple of the issues turned out to be sourceless object code, and so we started the process of cleaning them up, and of respinning earlier releases that contained them.
Tue 20:02:54 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] So now we clean up a firmware patch for vs6624 sensors, and several microcode relocation patches for powerpc 8xx. Both are encoded as arrays of numbers in upstream Linux releases. The latter had long seemed suspicious to me, but I had assumed those who started cleaning up Linux before I inherited Linux-libre had good reasons to leave it in. The former was entirely my own mistake. I was likely fooled by apparently discontiguous add
Tue 20:02:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] ress ranges, a pattern that suggests register initialization, but the multiple small fragments are actually larger contiguous ranges (thanks, Juca!), shuffled for reasons unknown."

Tue 22:03:06 │ 〖nobody〗 │ other than the fact it's not covered by POSIX standard nor free software
Tue 22:03:47 │ 〖nobody〗 │ since when i moved onto linux framebuffer terminal, i can't do online banking, cannot log into employment agency job placement database etc.
Tue 22:04:54 │ 〖nobody〗 │ in germany they introduced the "passport app", which effectively stripped me of many of my rights as a citizen, since i don't have a smartphone
Tue 22:05:31 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ you aren't allowed to use a real passport anymore?
Tue 22:05:54 │ 〖nobody〗 │ yes, of cause, but i cannot do online banking without the "passport app"
Tue 22:06:12 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and i cannot access various government services without this "passport app"
Tue 22:06:25 │ 〖nobody〗 │ germany, 2024
Tue 22:06:42 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ how is online banking connected to it? the banking apps i've used don't talk to any national crap
Tue 22:07:11 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the web ui of my bank does depend on using their app for logging in, but that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the state
Tue 22:07:46 │ 〖nobody〗 │ up until few years ago, various authentication schemes existed, which worked flawlessly, but Deutsche Bank deactivated (SMS Tan and ChipTan) and insist upon "passport app" in conjunction with some other malware you have to install
Tue 22:07:56 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ ic
Tue 22:08:05 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ can't you switch to another bank?
Tue 22:08:30 │ 〖nobody〗 │ not worth the effort MinceR, since government looted and plundered _all_ my savings
Tue 22:09:05 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ also, perhaps this authentication factor is just TOTP?
Tue 22:09:16 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ various apps can support that
Tue 22:09:40 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ (you scan a QR code to set it up, then you get a 6-digit code that changes every 30 seconds and you enter that as your second authentication factor)
Tue 22:09:55 │ 〖nobody〗 │ the "passport app" needs some web browser malware, it cannot be used with framebuffer posix terminal
Tue 22:12:09 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yeah, i don't see much support for browsers other than those based on blink, webkit and possibly gecko
Tue 22:13:02 │ 〖nobody〗 │ hey, i would write a curses-console against a xml/webservices or json/rest api myself if that was possible; it isn't
Tue 22:13:13 │ 〖nobody〗 │ *curses-console utility
Tue 22:14:09 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i don't have a smartphone, i don't have any micros~1 computer connected to the internet, and some debian/firefox fails miserably on my beloved thinkpad that got 1GiB RAM
Tue 22:15:48 │ 〖nobody〗 │ funnily, shortly before christmas, some anonymous person had registered my email adress against an apple account - i didn't check the registation-confirmation link
Tue 22:16:58 │ 〖nobody〗 │ whoops, the fire-detection sensors triggered alarm... they're always doing this during winter at high moisture and temperature below 10degC in my appartment
Tue 22:17:58 │ 〖nobody〗 │ maybe they're too spying on me if i reside at my registered residence, some service technicians download some data from those sensors once a year
Tue 22:19:21 │ 〖nobody〗 │ anyway, most recent escalation was the letter from government proposing psychological evaluation of mine, since when i asked what those $100/gallon heating oil of "cheap russian gas" stamped onto my energy bill was
Tue 22:35:04 │ 〖nobody〗 │ Elon Musk recognized our "social democrat" chancellor an "incompetent fool"
Tue 22:35:36 │ 〖nobody〗 │ nowadays, online, i couldn't articulate such an opinion anylong without legal threats for "violation of the integrity of public institutions"
Tue 22:36:25 │ 〖nobody〗 │ not that i ever did, other than the fact i am a little irritated since when my mental condition is questioned by government bureaucracy

Wed 06:18:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ oh well, if the web brigades wrote it on wikipedia, then it's got to be true
Wed 06:19:29 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ abolishing the republic is then republican, government determining what is true, what you must believe and what your religion must be is small government, war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.
Wed 06:20:06 │ 〖darwin〗 │ it's not republican; they're republicans in name only, opposed to historical republicanism

Wed 06:22:33 │ 〖darwin〗 │ liberal. Any average one says so, like Ronald Reagan was obsessed with small government. He raised taxes, but others after him generally cut them hard, which reduces government funding & size. Former House of Representatives Congressional Speaker/Leader said "We'll destroy healthcare for the American people"
Wed 06:23:31 │ 〖darwin〗 │ on average they want to continually reduce taxes to nothing, even if that changes to minarchy... they might not be minarchist--might not have thought that out, but that's the result. They don't say how the government will get income
Wed 06:24:04 │ 〖darwin〗 │ they might say they'll reduce taxes over decades/years to nothing, and that's what they tried between Reagan and Trump

Of course Wikipedia isn't right, but studies showed on average it's as good or better than top written encyclopaedies except during small cases of vandalism, etc.

Wed 06:29:09 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it hasn't happened yet.
Wed 06:29:15 │ 〖darwin〗 │ it would be. Bush 2 & Trump weren't 'average' on this... they're going back to large government... but the vast majority of their party is ideologically small government
Wed 06:29:16 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ what has happened is very different from that
Wed 06:29:43 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ what actually happened includes things like turning the "president" into a monarch and using the power of the state to enforce religious rules against citizens.
Wed 06:29:48 │ 〖darwin〗 │ they were connected to UK Conservatives and Margaret Thatcher. She had the same dogma so said "society doesn't exist"
Wed 06:30:07 │ 〖darwin〗 │ yeah, that's slowly happening, same time they're trying to reduce taxes and government in general
Wed 06:30:14 │ 〖darwin〗 │ not religious though
Wed 06:30:46 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ "trying to"
Wed 06:30:53 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ still giving them way too much credit.
Wed 06:31:14 │ 〖darwin〗 │ i've seen masses of people experiencing the effects
Wed 06:31:18 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i suppose if you're extremely rich then they have reduced your taxes though
Wed 06:31:46 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yeah, i suspect you too will "experience" the "effects" too
Wed 06:31:58 │ 〖darwin〗 │ USA has more homeless than any first-world country, and even some third-world ones, due to them being for small government rather than big government socialized healthcare
Wed 06:32:24 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i didn't realize the point of minarchism was to produce more homeless people
Wed 06:32:27 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ but the more you know...
Wed 06:32:34 │ 〖darwin〗 │ it's an effect
Wed 06:33:00 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ they somehow forgot to include it on the brochure
Wed 06:33:18 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ an honest mistake.
Wed 06:33:22 │ 〖darwin〗 │ Bush 2 funded religious 'charity' which is unconstitutional but not really against someone (other than who doesn't get funding). Trump historically didn't talk about religion and was more aligned with his party's secular/atheist wing than the religious. He didn't put his hand on the Bible, though he said he's Christian (no more details) then sold Bibles for money
Wed 06:33:38 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ "what's our number one selling point? fuck if i know, doesn't matter. let's just send this sucker to the presses already."
Wed 06:34:06 │ 〖darwin〗 │ i think you're belittling the suffering of homeless people who die from tempreatures, starvation, lack of healthcare. Republicans also said 'let them die' because they don't want big government social programs
Wed 06:34:10 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ "historically" as in when he was with the "democrats"?
Wed 06:34:11 │ 〖darwin〗 │ 'temperatures'
Wed 06:34:20 │ 〖darwin〗 │ until a few years ago
Wed 06:34:33 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ can you quote me belittling the suffering of homeless people?
Wed 06:34:45 │ 〖darwin〗 │ <MinceR> they somehow forgot to include it on the brochure
Wed 06:35:02 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ [not in citation given]
Wed 06:35:12 │ 〖darwin〗 │ it's not about a brochure--though cutting services is--it's about real effects on people
Wed 06:35:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it's about whether the christian taliban are "small government" or not
Wed 06:35:56 │ 〖darwin〗 │ you may not see it on their party website, but if you listened to what they say and look at their policy/voting record, that's what it is
Wed 06:36:31 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ unfortunately, i've heard more of what fascists ("conservatives") say about themselves than i wanted to
Wed 06:36:59 │ 〖darwin〗 │ i doubt that, except maybe in a former Soviet bloc state
Wed 06:37:27 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ sadly, their propaganda spreads better than you think
Wed 06:37:43 │ 〖darwin〗 │ USA Republicans are also behind ending public infrastructure funding and slowly changing it to all toll roads, except if funded locally
Wed 06:37:59 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and they're still not republicans
Wed 06:38:18 │ 〖darwin〗 │ i could go on four hours about the dogma they've specifically stated to reduce tax to zero over years and cut all agencies/programs

Wed 06:40:14 │ 〖darwin〗 │ i don't, but I see what they've cut or tried to cut 100+ times
Wed 06:40:15 │ 〖darwin〗 │ they want military, police & fire department, maybe federal land management, Federal Reserve Bank (usually but increasingly not) and maybe that's it. Having a semi-public bank support private banks may not be minarchism, but close
Wed 06:40:37 │ 〖darwin〗 │ well, 'miltary/intelligence'
Wed 06:41:07 │ 〖darwin〗 │ Margaret Thatcher was going to do the same, advised by John Birch Society
Wed 06:47:58 │ 〖darwin〗 │ when European conservatives say they're for free-market small government, it's usually marketing, as they tend to retain mixed/social market medium-to-large government, just with more contracting/privatization. That's never been the case in USA, as we never had socialism. Most/all Europe did, so most/any party there from moderate to nazi aren't saying they'll do things like cut healthcare (because everyone has it and would vote them out)... they

Americans aren't rioting over cuts to social programs (though they should) because they generally want government to be small and not bother them. It's not just a Republican Party thing, but in 4/5 top Parties (Republican, Libertarian, Constitution, some Democrats, but not Green except they want decentralization, not

Wed 06:48:58 │ 〖darwin〗 │ well, with the exception European far-right would cut it for people they don't want there, and send them away
Wed 06:49:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It would be nice if the blowback from voting the way you do only landed on the people that voted for it.
Wed 06:50:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like, only people who voted for Trump lose their Social Security and Medicare.
Wed 06:50:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But that's not how it works sadly.
Wed 06:50:21 │ 〖darwin〗 │ he said he won't cut it. Only others in his party did
Wed 06:50:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He said that to get elected.
Wed 06:50:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't believe him.
Wed 06:50:50 │ 〖darwin〗 │ his statement on that is officially in his written-out 'Agenda 47'
Wed 06:51:08 │ 〖darwin〗 │ if most his party still wants to, he's mentally in a way he might listen to them
Wed 06:51:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'd expect a split in the Republican side of Congress on Social Security and Medicare cuts.
Wed 06:51:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's definitely those that want to, but there's also those who want to stay in Congress.
Wed 06:51:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My guess is they'll go after cuts that Americans tend not to care about first.
Wed 06:52:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like not paying UN dues, stopping foreign aid, and so on.
