I am stuck with Windows 11 for the office and can't believe every time I open File Explorer I have to resize the window and columns from the cramped, unusable arrangement in the upper left corner it defaults to. Every time. If ever there was a dictionary entry for "open disregard for end users", this would be the classic entry. #microsoft #windows #linux

Dinesen. Truth.

There's an interesting mix of journalism, research, and human interest in this brief story. I enjoyed it. https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/ap-shills-big-pharma-antidepressants-bewildering-hit-piece

What does SFRY stand for?

What are the best arguments in favor of ending birthright citizenship and against ending birthright citizenship? Links or comments would be appreciated. I just read the US Catholic bishops' amicus brief on the Supreme court case currently awaiting judgment and feel like there's just more to it than what I read there. #immigration #supremecourt #asknostr

I wish someone had told me this when I started. I've settled on Debian 12 for my old machines that won't run Windows 11 (and have ancient NVIDIA graphics cards) and I am taking notes from Linux TV on Fedora for the day when the things I need for the office are capable of being run on my main PC on Linux. I tried a bunch of other distros that resulted mostly in just confusion and unnecessary toil.

Dual citizenship is another question from deportation, I think. Non citizens can still have legal status. As far as dual citizenship is concerned, those who have citizenship through their parentage and then citizenship through ius soli seem more likely to be reasonably deported. Those who would become de facto "stateless" should give us pause for the denial of citizenship. Obviously that would have to be judged in a more individual basis through the asylum process, presently overloaded to unbelievable proportions. I believe 17 million applications for asylum were received between 2021-2024.

This is what has been puzzling to me--what the long game is on this EO when The constitutional amendment seems so clear on its face. The whole thing stands or falls on the meaning of "jurisdiction" as you rightly point out. I liked R R Reno's perspective in a recent article referencing the concept of adverse possession in the common law, specifically to address situations where someone squats on property for a certain length of time uncontested. For those who have been living and working here for many years and working with tacit permission, and under a legal framework that tacitly permits it, or even invites it, a path to legal status seems reasonable. They have entered our jurisdiction, tacitly, so to speak. But for the recent arrivals, and the birth tourism abuse, that is another question.

Agreed.on all points, but I am wondering what the administration arguing to justify it. Is it that birthright citizenship provides an incentive? My understanding is that this amendment was intended to address the effects of slavery, which is a kind of forced immigration, but that's not what we are dealing with here. Is that the argument? 🤷‍♂️
