It’s a concentration camp.

The “inmates” are not supposed to survive this.

I mean how could they? There was no crime so no time can be served. And even if there would be a made up time after which they would get free, these people have been tortured. They won’t be easily reintegrated into any society. They will be mentally unstable at best. Which country would take them?

This is a death sentence with torture on top. Without trial, without oversight and as we can see even the Supreme Court can’t intervene.

And Trump wants more of them and to add “home grown” threats (US citizens) to the people who land there.

Do you know how fucked we would be if the whole maga group would not be completely brain dead?

My guess? LGBTQ will be next (under the guise of child safety, of course).

Then journalist and tv personalities who dare to say the truth (under the guise of protecting the truth).

Then politicians and the people organizing demonstrations (at this point he doesn’t need to lie about the reasons anymore, the media will be too afraid to say something)

Then anyone not on his side.

We all know who he will start with: non-whites and LGBTQ+

Doesn’t matter if they are criminals or not, without a trial no one will know.

They already have one certified innocent person there and won’t bring him back.

If he gets away with that, the next wave will be dissenters, journalists, politicians. Anyone who speaks out against him.

We have seen this happening before. Be prepared - either to leave or to fight.

Obviously. I mean, even when AI could not do fingers (and today they are mostly fine), you could simply recreate the picture until you had something usable.

Having a picture like this and the over the top “negative/positive points” is done deliberately.

The future does suck. I think that’s mainly because all progress we made in productivity goes straight to the ultra rich.

Just think about what these billions of dollars could have done to our lives… We could have eradicated hunger and poverty, have a new golden age for humanity and science. Instead we have popstars in space and oligarchs controlling the politics.

Without a new ‘French Revolution’ that gets rid of the parasites, oligarchs, 1%, billionaires we will never get to a good future.

And they bought Paintshop pro and destroyed it

How the hell are we supposed to install it without a Internet connection? I worked in a company that was so hard on security that only certified machines were allowed access to the net, so virtual machines were not allowed to access the LAN and therefore the Internet. Generally not a problem as we just used them to test software on different OS versions, so no Internet required.

This change disallows all offline installs. What is their gain? Are they that keen on our data or are they planning to use the connection to a Microsoft account for something even worse than just selling personal information? I could think of a few reasons and none are nice…
