Diplomatic row erupts after French researcher expelled from US for expressing 'a personal opinion' on Trump
A diplomatic row has erupted between France and the US after a French researcher was expelled from the country for expressing "a personal opinion" on Trump.Danielle de Wolfe (LBC)
This is the next level of silently making deporting opponents acceptable, claiming them to be hostile foreigners.
Just wait and see, next will be incarcerating protesters and people publicly criticising Trump administration.
Quietly accepted by majority. Like in 1930's Germany.
When will people wake up? When their neighbour or relatives are taken, deported or disappear?

Italy wants to extend NATO's article 5 to Ukraine, so if a peace agreement is reached, Ukraine is at the same time protected by all the NATO countries against any further attacks by Russia.
Has anyone done a full teardown of a Tesla's software stack? With full details on what/when/how it exfiltrates, what direct backdoors it has (short of updates), etc.?
I suspect not, and donating one to a hacker group willing to do this would be a great way to dispose of it.

This is what autocracy looks like:
US Senator Jeff Merkley asks Trump's pick for ambassador to Canada, if he believes in freedom of speech. He does.
Merkley then asks if people inside Canada should be able to disagree with the Prime Minister of Canada. He agrees.
Merkley then asks if people inside the US should be allowed to say something Trump disagrees with, and you can immediately sense, that the ambassador gets uneasy, because in an autocracy, that is not allowed.

Holy hell, this guy is in SO far over his head. He's not a lawyer, but he's demonstrating here a complete failure to articulate probably the most basic principle of US democracy. He's not originally from the US, but he was raised here, from age 3, and should fucking well know better.
So which is he? Appallingly ignorant? Hopelessly immoral and not honest enough to admit that? Or a gutless coward?

**SysVinit vs SystemD**
**Clearly, SysVinit.**
@jimcarroll I'm not getting into Vim vs Emacs, Gnome vs KDE, Debian vs Rhel vs Arch or any of their siblings and children fighting amongst themselves.
But systemd is the most cursed, bastardized, overcomplicated and overcompensating crock that has ever been forced upon Linux users. (AI is still a choice, after all.)
