"The Intercept found a gulf between how the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office presented the operation to the public and what actually happened. Rather than serving existing criminal warrants, local authorities conducted traffic stops, arrested people without licenses, and sent information about the detainees to DHS. Only then, after the men were in custody, did the federal agency issue warrants for their arrest."

I’m going to tell you a story that represents my best explanation for how America has fallen into this depressing condition. It’s a story that draws heavily on the thinking of Alasdair MacIntyre, the great moral philosopher, who died in May at age 94. It’s a story that tries to explain how Western culture evolved to the point where millions of us—and not just Republicans and Trump supporters—have been left unable to make basic moral judgments.

Why Do So Many People Think That Trump Is Good?

I think I understand you, but that's not what the essay seems to be talking about.

The author seems to be trying to suggest that the Enlightenment brought about a form of secular thinking that "thinned" morality to the point where people don't have a strong enough guiding belief system to prevent them from doing bad things.

However it seems to me the average MAGA person is a "fundamental" "Christian" of some sort. (I use quotes around those words because there are many variations and they may not all mean the same thing as traditional Christianity). They claim to have extremely strong "god"-linked morals, right down to many being "right-to-lifers" and bible pushers.

Meanwhile what seems to have actually happened in the USA is that all these "fundamental" "Christian" MAGA people have chosen to ignore each and every immoral thing (based on their own "Christian" morals!) that Trump has done and continues to do.

So I think the essay misses the mark entirely. It doesn't answer the question at all.

I don't even think that they believe "Trump is Good" -- they just like the smarmy arse, as if he is one of them.

Now part of that is probably due to what some call "celebrity culture", which may actually be a fallout of the distant past Enlightenment.

How it's all connected, I'm not sure, but the essay doesn't answer that either.

Fascism comes in many flavors; the German Nazi version of the 1930s is the worse.

Why would anyone expect that the American version of fascism would unfold like the German or the Italian? It is unfolding more like Austria under Orban as the Republican Party promised.

Smith makes the utilitarian argument that it's bad for social justice to call our system fascism. That may be true but it would be more beneficial to hear how whatever is happening to our country now can be reversed and defeated.

I love how smart these AI technologies are. They understand that "bigger" for cities can be ambiguous, refer to either the population or the area. It's also great that it's showing the sources in the upper corner, and displaying the basic facts.

Small minus on consistency and correctness, but other than that, really a great answer.

This is a good post. She makes a lot of good points and clarifies some important things. The part about the actual translation of the term unveiled some details that I wasn't aware of previously.

Some things were off, however. The notion that legal interpretation 'evolves' isn't quite right. It is more the case that it adapts.

Unfortunately, she does make a significant error in stating that the Shari'ah and Islam are not a threat to democracy (Liberal Democracy, Republicanism, etc.). It most assuredly is. So in this, I agree more with Islam's apparent 'detractors' or critics than I do with the presenter here.

Overall, though, she does quite an adroit job of revealing Islamic jurisprudence and its ethical framework to those who are interested in the topic.

It's not surprising, but sobering and alarming:

After members of the new German gvmt cast doubts on 🇩🇪's climate target, claiming it is too strict, chancellor Merz was asked today in the Parliament's Questioning Time (by the Greens) whether he can unequivocally declare that 🇩🇪 stands by it constitutionally mandated target of climate neutrality in 2045. Merz absolutely could not get himself to say that. Instead he gave answers that I cannot find satisfactory:

1) He declared that 🇩🇪 stands behind intl. agreements but avoided the question on the 🇩🇪 target
2) launched into the denialist trope that 🇩🇪 has just 1% of ppl & 2% of emissions, so its efforts make barely a diff (wow - the EU, US & China cause half of all emissions)
3) welcomed reducing emissions abroad rather than at home (used for fake reductions)
4) promoted the trope that climate policies can't be allowed to cause "deindustrialization" (sugg. that's what it leads to; the opposite is true)

That said, I recognize that one can't just bring the old stuff back (and come up with a visual design that makes clear what to tap for what just like that), and that an additional mode also requires extra testing on every change/release etc. Still, it's IMHO really worth considering (accessibility always is!), and it may even get some use by people who don't strictly need it (just like high contrast themes do).

I had Windows on a 4 Tb hard drive in my old Mac Pro and I could use only 2 Tb — because Apple's early EFI can't boot Windows natively, only with BIOS emulation — so MBR it is. Having half the space wasted is very annoying. And yes, there is GPT with protective MBR, but in practice this configuration is very frail — Windows updates could ruin the partition table, they usually create a recovery partition at the end of the disk so if system in your main partition stops booting you could boot off the recovery one. And software updates update not only the system in the main partition, but the recovery one too and if that partition isn't big enough to accommodate the update… A new bigger one gets created! 🤦
I had to keep the partition table backed up and a few times I had to restore it by hand because the newly created recovery partition wasn't in the backed up GPT table 😩

It's not as bad when it works. I really enjoy being able to just copy the bootloader as EFI binary — as a file, instead of having to write into a specially defined sector, being able to have multiple binaries in one partition, so I can boot several operating systems without having to use a separate bootloader for it — yes, booting particular operating systems requires their own extras, but it can all happily reside in the same small partition.

I was messing with x86 real mode assembly programming in my teens, but I've never went that far. And when it comes to MBR… I once wanted to change the order of partitions in the partition table — most don't care what order they have, so I didn't know where to look, nowadays you can easily export the partition table with gdisk, edit the file and recreate the partition table with different order — again with gdisk. But at the time partitioning software was very limited so I wrote a C program that rearranged them 😅

It's not that it's complex, but why bother? Sure, UEFI has its shortcomings, but having this higher level of abstraction — at least having a concept of partitions at this boot stage, being able to work with files… I think it's good!

I recently received an email that at first glance appeared to be a well-crafted phishing message, warning that my Microsoft Entra ID was going to expire in a month if I didn't make a purchase. The only piece of information in the message was my supposed Entra ID.

After checking with Microsoft it appears this automated message is legitimate, and it is in reference to a Microsoft Teams trial account I created for a day and then abandoned. But apart from the Entra ID, which isn't mentioned in any prior communications from Microsoft, there is zero context for the user.

How hard would it be for Microsoft to include just a tiny bit more information in each message? Like, "Hey, this message is about an account created 5 years ago, for Teams" or something. Otherwise these marketing messages train users to fall for phishing scams.

After years of dominance in #ESET’s top #infostealer statistics, the era of #AgentTesla has come to an end. It finished H1 2025 in fourth place, its numbers having decreased by 57%. The reason? It is no longer under active development.
The threat actors behind Agent Tesla have reportedly lost access to the servers with the malware’s source code. A successor appeared almost immediately – another #MaaS threat, known as #SnakeStealer or #SnakeKeylogger, has claimed the number one spot.
Recommended as a suitable replacement directly in Agent Tesla’s Telegram channel, SnakeStealer now takes up almost a fifth of all infostealer detections registered by ESET telemetry. Between H2 2024 and H1 2025, its detections more than doubled.

When the American empire finally collapses, historians won’t be stunned by the greed of the elite; They’ll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor.

The working class didn’t just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them.

They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, defunded the schools of their own kids, plauded the ruling class for leaving them alone in time of need, supported masked agents kidnapping regular citizens, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions.

Not because it helped them. But because they were told it would hurt someone else.

And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without ever breaking a single law.

When you haven't been exposed to advertising for a while and it's no longer normalised, it's quite jarring. Not because it's annoying or shit, rarely lacking any artistic merit, begging and pleading and lying for attention and complicity - that bit you remember.

But because the only way this crap exists at all is through force, ramming it through devices without permission or consent. An entire industry based on tracking and surveillance to target assault.

It's fucking despicable.

mozilla, part of the problem or part of a solution

automation stupidity in rapid development


For those of you using librewolf you may have noticed that color coded tab grouping has been in effect. You just right click a tab and add it to a group, or create a new one with spcific name and color code. Fine, that doesn't appear unreasonable and remains optional for the use to configure.
Now mozilla is coming out with automatic grouping of tabs, based on what criteria, Ai?

Firefox automatically groups your tabs and suggests names based on what you’re working on. It helps you stay focused, find things faster, and reduce clutter.


I sure hope the librewolf gang will have this disabled at build time

A sobering thread about the MAGA Supreme Court's lawlessness by @heidilifeldman (tinyurl.com/3u98jmvc) and a piece by @AndreaPitzer on why it's both accurate and important to describe what's being constructed in Florida as a concentration camp: degenerateart.beehiiv.com/p/wh…
| say none of this lightly. I fervently hope for and work toward the restoration of pluralist constitutional democracy and rule of law without even more and worse violence than anything like what we are already seeing. But | am a realist, and | know that with the collapse of the Supreme Court as a meaningful judicial institution, the work is going to be that much harder.
It usually takes years of propaganda to get people to accept camps. But exposed to enough propaganda, a majority will come to either embrace their neighbors being rounded up or tolerate it out of fear or confusion. Yet because of the role of national culture in identifying who gets targeted, from the beginning, each ruling party, when asked about its camps, has been emphatic that their country isn’t running camps like those other horrible ones you've read or heard about. Theirs are different, they say, because this particular group is a real threat to public safety or to the nation and deserves to be locked up.

What's in a name?
