"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.

Last night, eastern Gaza burned under endless fire.
Explosions shook the earth. Homes vanished.
The blood in the streets hasn’t dried.
While the world talks politics and aid,
we bury a hundred loved ones a day.
Hundreds more lose limbs, families, hope.
This isn’t war. It’s a massacre.
Enough. Stop the killing. Let Gaza live.

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are crammed into a fraction of their land, living with “less personal space than detainees at Guantanamo,” according to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Euro-Med Monitor said that “each person in Gaza now has just 24 m² – about the space of a Guantanamo cell. But these aren’t prisoners. They’re civilians trapped in tents, rubble, and sewage, under siege and fire.”

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.
Salazars portugal, or Franco's Spain are better examples than either Italy or Germany.

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.

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.

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.

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)

I installed the latest postmarketOS and found it to be missing, which is why I asked in this release announcement.
I'm guessing that there has been no changes in this release to improve this?
I also really disliked not having navigation buttons on screen, so while discoverability may be forced, it seems inferior to having buttons in my experience.
On screen buttons are predictable and accessible - gesture navigation is invisible and hard to understand, given no affordances.
I'm happy to live with the superior UI and am willing to pay for it by being omnipresent.
I hadn't realized you were a developer. Presumably there are no plans to improve this? I would much rather run phosh - I just don't think it makes sense for me to force myself to use a UI that is worse when I am willing to "pay" (in screen real estate) for a better one.

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.
