The Saudis and others are already considering pulling investments from the stock market in the USA to safe places due to this war.

Couple that with Iran potentially targeting important infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and the UAE such as desalination plants, which could cripple them domestically and we’re looking at a recipe for the US stock market tanking and the AI bubble bursting as it can no longer be floated by wealthy middle eastern investment.

On the one hand, religious fundamentalists are fucked in the head and just want violence and their opinions and feeling should be discarded.

On the other hand, while it’s in many ways commendable that the Iranian president wants peace, he is negotiating with a group of people who are not acting in good faith, and should probably himself remember the axiom “never obey in advance.”

It sounds like, essentially what you’re saying, I think. That if your mother lied or omitted information that would have led to a denial of her citizenship approval, and this is later discovered she will have her citizenship revoked, and you would also lose citizenship. Essentially because it would be considered that she committed fraud to obtain citizenship, and you by extension would be a benefactor of her fraud even if you were unaware of it.

However,it also sounds like if her citizenship is revoked for other reasons not involving fraudulent statements and covering up a past that would have barred her from citizenship, you will keep your citizenship providing you are in the US when hers is revoked.

That’s my very rough reading of it, and yeah, it’s a bunch of fucking legalese. It’s honestly frustrating that laws like this don’t have a “simple english wikipedia” equivalent to explain it to non-lawyers.

Also… it should be noted that laws seemingly mean nothing with respect to the current US regime and how they manage citizenship revocation.

yeah but what if

then the labor class better fucking get their ass in gear and start fighting for their rights again.

I don’t usually say this but honestly if you are working at Oracle in 2026:

You deserve this. You’re working for pure evil. Be thankful you can now maybe get a job that doesn’t involve destroying humanity and democracy.

This is fucking amazing. I’m gonna go out and get a weed vape right now! I mean, for hosting a website on, yeah, that’s why, sure, let’s go with that.

We live in a nightmare dystopian hellscape where rights are made up and the laws don’t matter.

Fuck ain’t that the truth.

If I was going to do something illegal/disruptive enough to attract the attention of police, I simply would not attach my personal email to it.

Fair, but let’s be real, protesting the Copy City in Atlanta shouldn’t be something that captures police attention since it’s well within free speech rights. Literally, as it says in the article:

404 Media is not publishing the person’s name because they don’t appear to have been charged with a crime, according to searches of court databases.

This is merely an intimidation campaign against people who have valid concerns with the Cop City being built outside of Atlanta.

Broadly, members were protesting the building of a large police training center next to the Intrenchment Creek Park in Atlanta, and actions also included camping in the forest and lawsuits. Charges against more than 60 people have since been dropped.

The blog in question documents protest events that have happened, including ones that are law breaking. There is no proof that the person who runs the blog has any direct involvement with the events they cover, despite their political stripe supporting the same goal of dropping the contract to stop the funding and building of Cop City in the forest outside of Atlanta. Calling people to action to protest is not the same as calling them to commit crimes in protest.

Because while I agree with you, we need to be clear here. Legal protest and coverage of protest (including coverage of crimes done by individuals at a protest) are not crimes nor should those acts alone be enough to get the FBI on your ass.

Absolutely and it helped prove why they needed to do this security review to begin with as well as will teach them the nature of how this user script worked so they can put up guardrails for this specific type of attack. An unfortunate event but as long as they are using it to learn from and strengthen their security, overall it’s a good thing.

Do you mean DisplayPort?

Your Pixel

Limited to Pixel 8 and newer devices and no 4k yet.

Oh, so your Pixel, but not my Pixel.

Absolutely, it was at the height of the “software as a service” phase and they were doing rolling updates for the Windows Insider program. For a hot minute they absolutely planned on it just being “Windows” from then on.

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.

For sure, it’s a vast improvement, but there’s still so much you can’t do with it.

Mostly because unlike Bash and DOS, which are CLIs that get GUIs slapped on top, PowerShell is a CLI slapped on top of a GUI.

And they still haven’t even finished making PowerShell anywhere near as functional as Bash or any other Linux shell environment. First version of PowerShell came out exactly 10 years after the first version of NT.

I don’t outright hate PowerShell but it’s clearly a hacky afterthought after realizing Linux was eating their lunch in the server space via quick rollouts to thousands of computers at once through Bash scripting.

Right, but that’s just it, they’re basically pulling another Vista if they release Windows 12 later this year.

It’s not clear whether Windows 12 will welcome any non-NPU processors. More likely, PCs that don’t meet its system requirements will lose some functionality.

As the article reasonably posits, it’s way more likely that they’ll just degrade the experience for people without NPUs, which in other words means decreased performance on older hardware, a la Vista on non-compliant hardware. Yes, Vista fucked up rollout by claiming that some hardware was Vista ready when it wasn’t, but basically the same could happen here regarding lack of NPUs.

They’re already fucking this up with vibe-coding Windows 11, so if they seriously go all-in on this, Windows 12 will be a bigger disaster than fucking Windows Vista and Windows Millennium Edition combined.

…and frankly, I think they will. They’ve bet the farm on this AI shit, and they need to force it into everything to justify it’s fucking existence even though Copilot is the most dogshit out of all these dogshit generative AI systems.

Windows 10 arguably became passable for stability about 3 years after release… but you still had to cut out the advertising bloat, spyware, and all which undermined any gains of stability because that shit was just fucking annoying.
