They are NOT deportees. They are not being deported.

They’re being RENDITIONED.

Deported people are sent back to their own countries where they likely have resources or the ability to live and function.

Renditioning is intentionally putting people in places where they have no ability to communicate or to live. It’s like a death sentence for at least many of them.

Flock cameras should be illegal, and it would be better if they were all destroyed.

They do so much damage to privacy. There’s no way these things should exist.

Time to take the U.N. out of the U.S. and kick the U.S. out of the U.N.

So does Google.

What friend?

Like if an author had a five year old why shouldn’t the kid get royalties if their parents is in an accident?

Like I said, all it does is prioritize the desires of the dead over the needs of the living. It’s not justified.

That is the BARE MINIMUM of reason.

There’s no reason IN THE WORLD for any kind of idea of “intellectual property” to exist once the creator is dead.

NONE.

It doesn’t benefit the creator in any way to have such a system where people can claim ownership of another’s work after death. All that does is deny the living things that could help them in favor of some ridiculous notion that you’re helping the dead; it’s asinine.

I switched to Qobuz about two weeks ago. I’ve been really impressed.

I call for employees to tell their employers to FTFO.

Lots of ridiculous-looking people in politics today. They could use some haircuts.

I’ve been doing this.

I also realized the importance of not just using a different (strong) password on each site, but using a different email, and using a different username.

I had quite a few accounts to modify/delete, and I realized if I did 5-10 per day that I could accomplish it in less than a few months, with very little stress.

Well, good news. I finished last week.

So over time, the number of people lying about that particular statement reduced, until it was eventually zero.

I am much more concerned about the military itself attacking the U.S. population.

Ha!

I use dating apps to fantasize that someone will swipe right on me so that II have a few minutes of dreaming about the kind of life we could have.

Just wait until you see what sanctions the ICC will eventually impose on the Trump regime.

I’m going to intentionally interpret your comment in a way I don’t think it was intended.

When the alternative is using digital payment methods from a fascist country?

A bunch of not-ideal products are about to get adopted by other countries and then are about to gain all of the features that the U.S. monopolies always fought against.

I wish they’d open source the name.

It should be called the “Linux Subsystem for Windows”.

The US Military was a well-oiled machine before January 20, 2025. Now it’s a machine whose oil is driving more than all other machines and is about six months past its due date for an oil change. They’ve announced a bunch of plans for more trips, but nobody’s changing the oil anymore.

Google offered Workspace free to individuals. I set that up and used it for my family, and then BAM! After a lomg time using it, they removed the free plan, once we were using it for logins for a bunch of sites and for our emails. Went from free to $50 per month. It took a LOT of effort to get my family off of that. Never again.
