I would guess this extends beyond immigrants at this point given all the data they have mined from the government


The last line of the article says, "The ultimate concern is a panopticon of a single federal database with everything that the government knows about every single person in this country,” Venzke says. “What we are seeing is likely the first step in creating that centralized dossier on everyone in this country.”

The article also mentions how DOGE is integrating voting records from PA and FL.

Americans should reject this, but any administration will be tempted to keep it once such systems are made.


Exactly. "To surveil everyone"

Everyday seems more like Orwell's 1984.

"War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength."


Extortion is Trump's favorite tactic. He's been punishing Maine for standing up to him. The law firms too. Soon the democrats when he can get past deporting the criminal U.S citizens.

I don't think it's unreasonable to say people are the only option to change our trajectory. We haven't reached critical mass yet, but the next national protest is April 19th which lands on the 250th revolutionary war anniversary. Be there or be square.


Washington State too. "Oh, you had cyclones and asked FEMA for money? Denied! Because, uh, hm, wasn't really an emergency."


We are only 3 months in, they are going for the giants first.


>they are going for the giants first

Is this something they stated?


April 19th is the next national protest. I've been going to fight for the constitution, due process, and rule of law since this all began.

The time isn't 2 years from now to change this at mid terms. There won't be a free place to speak or protest by then yet alone a free election system at the pace this is happening.

I hope others will join.


The funny thing is someone somewhere will find a way to make millions off a vibe coded project. I just suspect it will be the outlier and they will be well positioned to make that happen.

And for the rest of the companies that embrace the 30%~ efficiency spike, it will just accelerate our work goals faster.

I like to use it on stuff that we wanna do to enhance the UX but rarely sees the light of day. Plus my wrists have never felt so good since replacing boring syntax choirs with LLMs.


Yeah this is definitely a bad English bot


Writing differing views is not a crime. Still, even if what she did was somehow illegal or they had a legimate legal reason to revoke her visa she deserves to be able to face her accuser and not be abducted and denied her life, liberty and property without due process.


Sorry it wasnt clear but that was my attempt at pure sarcasm.

I thought the situation is absolutely nonsensical. Being able to disagree with anyone is part of our social fabric. Once you ban that then wild stuff starts to happen.


The constitution is worth fighting for. All of it.

Protests need to be taking place. This isn't a bi partisan issue but a constitutional crisis that will destroy our country if we do not overturn these illegal EOs.

April 5th come support the national protest.


I'm already feeling like entrepreneurship is out the window.

It's a combination of AI being owned from these mega corporations and corruption at the highest level that I'm losing sight of what is the purpose building my startup business in an authoritarian landscape.

Trump illegally promoting Elon's corporation with a yard sale, kissing his feet for donating millions to his campaign thanks to citizens united, allowing him to ransack the federal government as an unelected official, to making vandalism a domestic terrorist act for people fed up when him,and now putting Elon in charge of investigating Signalgate.

People need to stand up now before they cannot.


TIL, the good news I guess is I only ssh into my hosting platforms and GitHub who have a reason to protect my data since I pay them.

Still I'll be sure to break up my keys more going forward and disable SSH forwarding.


disabling agent forwarding is the important bit.

But if you do want to break up your keys more, make sure you specify IdentityFile and Identities Only in the per host definitions in your ssh config.

By default assuming you use an ssh agent (no forwarding) with multiple keys and a default ssh config, the behavior is to just try to auth with every key in order.

So if you're worried about the ssh server identifying you, you're still exposing yourself. I don't think this is much of a concern but worth noting.

Slightly more important: you're wasting time during the initial connection to fail authentication a few times. This can matter more with higher latency

Even more important: sshd has a configurable number of times a client is allowed to fail authentication in a session attempt. If you have too many other keys in your agent you will just fail to auth before it tries the key that is actually valid for that host.
