The administration will just apply for an appeal to the decision - 6 months - then if it is approved it goes to a one man Supreme Court ruling (18 months), then they appeal again (12 months) and it goes to the full bench (24 months) who will declare its now outside the scope of action.

More like the Cheka in the Soviet Union that just kidnapped anyone they found on the street to meet a quota.

As far as I can find out, there is no constitutional restriction on outsourcing the imprisonment of Americans in foreign countries. This is not deportation.

Australia was founded on the outsourcing of imprisonment of British prisoners, after the US war of Independence when US states refused to continue to take British prisoners.

Garcia was determined to be a refugee because he was a member of an El Salvadorian gang, so there is no likelihood he will be released in El Salvador.

“You need a pen licence because that’s what you use at work”.

Um no. Secretaries, lawyers and journalists used typewriters and engineers used propelling pencils. Builders had these odd rectangular shaped pencils that could write on anything. Fitters and boilermakers used chalk.

Only schoolchildren used biros.

There are 10 Commandments.

No - there’s 14.

And most of them also have sub-commandments, just to confuse it further.

So presumably NASA is anti-science ?

Because they have redetermined that Pluto is a planet.

Yeah but its such a hassle to find, so…

Edison ivented the light bulb in the US. No, it was Tungsram in Hungary. Edison did employ him as a result though. Bell invented the telephone. No, it was Edison labs. Bell stiole the patent from an Italian guy when he was working in the patent office. Philco invented the TV set. Nothing to do with it, it was Edison-Marconi. The CRT controller was invented in the Soviet Union hence the Philco invention story.

Stomach ulcers are caused by stress. Nope.

Alcoholism runs in families. Nope.

Heart disease runs in families. Nope.

all apps built for one distro can be run on another.

Pfft no. They won’t even work on earlier versions of the same distro. Or later. Or any distro where you’ve installed a library or driver thats older or newer than the one needed for the app your installing.

So in essence there is no difference besides the installation process, gui, and package manager.

There are three different package systems (Red Hat, Debian and Arch) and they are all completely incompatible with each other, and earlier versions of themselves. You can use containers like Snap or Flatpack or half a dozen other standards, which again are all incompatible with each other, and all of them except Snap aren’t fully containerised either - they are dependent on specific libraries and drivers in the distro.

In the near future, probably within 12 months, all the standard features of Windows will be gone. The won’t be any Explorer, there won’t be any Start menu, there won’t be any opening screen.

There will just be a prompt and you say “computer, open yesterdays word file”, like in Star Trek. There won’t be any “apps” to install - you’ll just say “phone, open the order menu for Boise City Chick-Fil-A” and it will navigate automatically to the page.

Sure, if you’re a total weirdo you will be able to install a bash shell and navigate manually, but hardly anyone will do that.

BTW, AI is being introduced into Linux as well.

Yeah you can’t just jet off whenever you like if you have a work visa. You need to get permission from the Immigration department first.

People often find this out when they do a quick trip over the border to Canada or Mexico.

You can run Deepseek on a Raspberry Pi.

1-money 2-incompetence 3-the senior prgrammer left somewhere and is uncontactable, or was sacked by a powertripping manager with the IQ of a cinder block and no one can work out what the hell they wrote.

Actually, the tweet was accurate.
