[00:52] IsambardPrince Roland Beainy, one of the owners of the local burger chain named after President Donald Trump, was notified that he will have his green card revoked over suspected marriage fraud, while embroiled in lawsuits over the company." [00:53] IsambardPrince "A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson confirmed to Newsweek that Beainy was under investigation and said the government does not tolerate immigration fraud. [00:53] IsambardPrince U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has not responded to requests for more details on Beainy's immigration case.

[00:57] IsambardPrince Beainy is a Lebanese national who is believed to have held a U.S. green card. He describes himself as "the culinary tycoon" on his private Instagram profile. He also faces other lawsuits surrounding his business ventures, per the Record. [00:57] IsambardPrince He reportedly came to the U.S. in 2019 and applied for legal status in 2021 via the woman claiming to be his wife. [00:57] IsambardPrince USCIS is said to have found no lease documents or other evidence that Beainy was married to the woman who filed his immigration application. [00:57] IsambardPrince What People Are Saying [00:57] IsambardPrince A DHS Spokesperson told Newsweek: "The Department of Homeland Security has zero tolerance for immigration fraud, and this individual's claims are baseless. USCIS revoked the petition after evidence, including admissions from the petitioner's own family, exposed his marriage as a sham designed to game the system. [00:57] IsambardPrince "This person has no Green Card, a history of illegal marriages, and an assault charge. DHS is actively pursuing all legal avenues to address this flagrant abuse of our immigration laws."" [00:58] IsambardPrince --- [00:58] IsambardPrince MinceR, So the government says that they're taking away his green card, and also that he has no green card? [00:58] IsambardPrince It seems like these are mutually exclusive statements. [00:58] MinceR \_()_/ [00:58] IsambardPrince To be put in proceedings to lose your green card, it means you have a green card.

[01:01] IsambardPrince Maybe he should have called it something else. [01:01] IsambardPrince As usual under fascism, if you do something the fascists don't like, then you suddenly have legal problems. [01:02] IsambardPrince He probably is a bad guy. [01:02] IsambardPrince But he wouldn't have been bothered had he not done something to piss off the regime.

[01:04] IsambardPrince I mean, other than some code citations and eviction. [01:04] IsambardPrince Nothing federal.

[04:22] schestowitz[TR2] i am doing an article about it [04:22] IsambardPrince They're defunding Fedora? [04:23] IsambardPrince I haven't paid much attention. Debian works fine, both on my regular laptops and in Crostini on the Chromebook. [04:23] IsambardPrince Nobody has really done anything innovative on Linux in years. [04:23] IsambardPrince It used to be that people had a distribution for everything and they were all quite different. They were free to try ideas, some were good, others horrible. [04:24] IsambardPrince But if it was good, others would come in and grab it and that would be the new way to do that. [04:24] IsambardPrince Red Hat and IBM have caused this sort of stagnation and bloat that have plagued Windows. [04:25] IsambardPrince I like using Linux in a virtual machine now for a lot of reasons like, I don't have to worry about the sort of system errors that systemd and UEFI cause when you're using a PC. [04:26] schestowitz[TR2] ChromeOS is being phased out [04:26] IsambardPrince It's just badly designed. And I think it's because they wiped out all the competitors.

This is, in part, an exercise in getting rid of criteria, such as booting from optical media, that are less relevant. It is also a necessity, since the Red Hat team focusing on Fedora quality assurance (QA) is only half the size it was a year ago. [04:26] schestowitz[TR2] The team is responsible for a host of activities which include testing of software, running test days, maintaining tools for test automation, and coordinating the Fedora release process with the release engineering team. The quality team is composed of Red Hat employees and Fedora community contributors, but it is fair to say that the bulk of the team's work is done by those employed to by Red Hat. [04:26] schestowitz[TR2] Unfortunately, according to an announcement by Kamil Pral, a member of the team, there is a somewhat urgent need to reduce its workload. Six out of ten Red Hat employees who had been working on the team have chosen to move to other teams within Red Hat over the past nine months, or have left Red Hat altogether. Only one new person has joined the team. Pral pointed out in the announcement that this was not the result of a layof [04:26] schestowitz[TR2] f or intentional reduction of the quality team; he said that the moves were ""truly decisions of our colleagues"", some of whom opted to move to AI-focused roles or other jobs within Red Hat." [04:29] schestowitz[TR2] Over a year ago we saw reports from Red Hat employees about IBM relocating/reassigning them to non-Red Hat and non-Fedora activities, for instance neglecting to make builds of particular applications, even if that didn't take much time [04:31] IsambardPrince Fedora releases were shipping with an increasing number of bugs on launch day even while I was using it for a several year stretch.
