wow look at that, someone in congress doing something!
And people were saying that nothing would happen, i mean, not much has happened, to be fair, but we've already tried half of that shit already, it's unlikely to work again lmao.

the problem never "started" it was a continual thing. Migration policy has historically gotten stricter and stricter over the years. Reagan literally had the "touch sand get citizenship" policy back in the day.
Whether or not it's being handled well is a different story, what we do know is that republicans lie about 99% of it. And that it's not nearly as bad as it looks, as for the current immigration problem, it's to do with asylum abuse, and lack of appropriate judge staffing (meaning year+ long wait times)
Both of these issues are incredibly easy to solve, but the republican house refused to solve either of these problems (under biden policy) and the current admin hasn't done anything (except deny all asylum entry, which i suppose works) but they're also deporting people without full due process or reasonable suspicion, which is illegal, oddly enough.
And besides, immigration only really got bad after the expiration of title42. (or at least that's what the republicans say, but then immediately contradict it by saying it's always been that way.) so who knows what's actually the case.
literally (i use arch btw also), though my server runs on debian, so i have that under my belt.
hmm, that's unfortunate, have you considered putting clothes on? I hear that helps.
why would they false flag it just to arrest some rando on the street? They're not going to false flag and charge biden with this shit lmao.
It was probably genuine and real, and some random mfer actually just did this. Occams razor.
Since when have the fascists needed any reasons beyond that they could to do something heinous?
also this, they wouldn't need to, they would just lie about it.
im like 99% sure that they wouldnt bother.
Aber was found dead in Alexandria, Virginia, on March 22, 2025, at age 43.[11] A family friend said that her death was "believed to be the result of a longstanding medical issue",[12][13] which was later revealed to be epilepsy.[14] Authorities did not initially release an official cause of death.[2][15][16] Four days later, the Alexandria Police Department said in a statement that Aber likely died of natural causes, but that they would wait for the final ruling of the chief medical examiner.
i mean, that's pretty concrete.
Assuming this wiki info checks out. I would be inclined to believe it. Unfortunate timing i suppose, but it could happen at any time.
linux enables powerusers, which also enables a foundation for everyday users, which enables a foundation for learning and education of those users.
A good modern gui also presents itself in front of you. It directs your attention to important buttons/options. You don’t need any prior knowledge to know that a cog shaped button labeled settings will take you to settings. Good UIs are self explanatory. CLI are not.
it also suffers from exponential growth complexity. CLI only has linear growth complexity. Every button and element you add to a gui makes refactoring the entire GUI layout exponentially harder.
They want everything to be accessible and to be easy.
CLI is both accessible and easy, intuitive even. The only problem is that it requires a fundamental knowledge basis, and some syntactic context. But that's all pretty minimal.
I would argue a GUI is more confusing if it has any nested elements in it (like photoshop for example)
if you're using systemd, 90% of your system maintenance and boot handling is going to be running through systemd, so it's likely to be pretty syntactically similar.
other than that they’re utterly lost on Linux without the help of others. This will definitely make people use Linux instead of going back to the exploitative OS they know where they at least feel comfortable enough to know it won’t fail on them.
yknow, unless they do actual debug. Everytime i've seen someone go over an issue they have with linux, via someone else, it follow the process of debug, troubleshoot, solve. Where you must necessarily learn something. Maybe not as much as when you figure it out yourself, but group troubleshooting is often more efficient.
Not to mention all of the resources and information out there to actually figure out what's happening is so much more accessible.
just to be clear, this is what we call terrorism.
