ICE is disappearing people.
This is a grim and difficult piece, but it is heartening to read it one particular way: the broader national and global conversation is finally, finally starting to pick up on what so many of us have been yelling for weeks and months: the Department of Homeland Security is acting as Trump’s secret police, a group of Brownshirts with a military-sized budget whose horrors extend far beyond two murders.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father from U.S. immigration detention. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txwd.1172886492/gov.uscourts.txwd.1172886492.9.0.pdf

Todd C. Miller has been maintaining the #sudo codebase for over 30 years. This is exactly one of those cases where an entire critical infrastructure is held together by the work of a single volunteer who apparently can’t find anyone willing to sponsor him for some financial support. #opensource #linux #foss #GNU
The front of our house, before and after... The scaffolding finally came off today, and pretty happy how it turned out. Definitely think it was worth getting done (even though it took months)! 😊

What's the most common complaint I've heard about Linux?
Not the installation process.
Not finding a distro.
Not getting programs to work.
Not troubleshooting.
Not hardware compatibility.
The most common complaint about Linux I've seen is this:
For a normal computer user, asking for help is just about impossible.
They ask a simple question and:
People respond "Did you Google it?"
People complain that the question wasn't asked "correctly".
People respond "RTFM"
People get mad??? at them for making an easy mistake.
We can't expect normal people to know to, or even know how to deal with any of that stuff.
Search engines these days are awful, manuals are hard to read for most people (especially stuff like ArchWiki), and normal people make mistakes we think are easily avoidable.
The solution to making Linux more popular is not ruthless promotion. The solution is to actually help the people who are trying to use it.

“Remember when we said ‘Infrastructure as Code’? Somehow, the industry heard ‘Infrastructure as YAML’ and ran with it. Now we're drowning in a sea of indentation-sensitive, template-riddled, Jinja2-abused configuration files that make even the most battle-hardened sysadmins weep into their mechanical keyboards.”

All Democrats and two Republican senators voted for this. We need two more GOP senators to join. Fund healthcare, not the gestapo.

The Trumpists will continue to escalate. But in Minneapolis, we can see the limits of MAGA’s assault.
Trump’s authoritarian desires are limitless. But his ability to impose them on America is not.

Survival is resistance.
Survival is solidarity.
Do you know how many people are devoting their time, talent, and treasure to making sure people (esp but not exclusively those *being targeted by the regime*) SURVIVE? Every one of us who keeps going is a WIN for all of us.
*We* are who will win this.
*We* have to outlast them.
Take care, my friends.

If you see an invitation to participate in a trans or genderqueer study sponsored by Northwestern University, steer clear. It's a rigged, unethical scheme to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

@tsyesikaJessica Tallon and 
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber up next talking about what's next for the fediverse!
Auf den Vortrag gleich freuen wir (
@askansAskan 🇪🇺 und ich) uns besonders: @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber und @tsyesikaJessica Tallon wollen das Fediverse aufs nächste Level bringen. Es geht in die Tiefen des Protokolls. Und wir wissen schon, es wird „verspielt“, weil Gaming und jede andere Art der digitalen Interaktion bei der weiteren Entwicklung des Protokolls eine zentrale Rolle spielen.
