In past administrations, I would have defaulted to the position that there may be valid reasons to deny entry to a group of scholars from China, given China’s history with spies in the USA. Now, however, I can’t trust this administration at all, so I’m likely to side with the scholars until evidence is given for me to do the contrary.
Yeah, but he’s an idiot. He thinks tariffs are a great idea.
Back in my day, they were doing this on slide rules! 😃
Looks like we need to show it to Bisop Brennan!
But do you wear an onion on your belt? 😃
It’s always gratifying to see another “old person” in the comments. 😃
Sent you a DM.
Well, the good news for me personally is that since a year, I’ve been getting off of the American tech stack, hosting in Europe, with .eu domains, using aliases for emails on my own email server, locking down my stuff, and erasing what there is from iCloud, Google, etc… Completely. I wrote a long basic how-to a month ago to help others, and have been meaning to update it more. I’ve also been migrating my startup company’s setup to do the same. It’s all done now and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I’ve also been encouraging others online and friends and family to do the same. I even have a few of them using my Nextcloud server nearly full time now.
So I am trying to help. 😃
Some of it is, I’m sure. But the reason I posted it was because it had a lot of detailed information which I hadn’t seen before. It was literally my first post on Lemmy today, other than comments. I hope I didn’t make a faux pas.
All of my domains are .eu and are hosted in Europe and are under European GDPR rights.
One reason to use Matrix on your own server.
There are many good people who die every day - people who cared for others, didn’t discriminate, didn’t belittle race, sex, gender, or wanting a better world.
Chuck Norris was not such a person, and deserves no sympathy from me.

So, basically: Rotting flesh-eating zombie bees produce honey which few outside of a certain cultural milieu will ever find appetizing or acceptable? 😃
Nah! We were just tougher back then!
Also, with no internet, nothing was around to distract you for 24 hours, or days, to try to solve one puzzle.
Kids these days don’t understand the struggle!
😃
Well, it’s not Nazi Germany…but…the USA is definitely headed there. Then again, when the Nazis stopped you in the street, they would at least ask for your papers first. Apparently ICE and BP think that’s too woke or something.
As if I’m supposed to take them at their word?
Not bloody likely.
No, though I did post specifically that I condone what he did. It wasn’t that though. I’m dual national American and French. I grew up a lot in the USA, but I’ve been living in France for over ten years and I’ve chosen my side in this fight. To that end: I’ve been 100% serious about getting off of the American tech stack. I’ve left iCloud (Apple Music forthcoming) entirely, and been getting off of more and more non-EU/FOSS places. I’ve been blogging about it to help others. It’s been rewarding. Lemmy was just another step to take. 😃👍
Around 1200, I start having a little trouble, but I can still read most of it fairly well. 1100 is when I start to lose a lot of it, struggling through. 1000 is what I remember from trying to write papers on this stuff in University wherein I’d use translated copies side by side.
Maybe I can go back further than some others because I’m so damned old. 🤣
This from the people who elected a notorious pedophile, “thinking” that he would find the real pedophiles.
