I am stuck with Windows 11 for the office and can't believe every time I open File Explorer I have to resize the window and columns from the cramped, unusable arrangement in the upper left corner it defaults to. Every time. If ever there was a dictionary entry for "open disregard for end users", this would be the classic entry.

I wish someone had told me this when I started. I've settled on Debian 12 for my old machines that won't run Windows 11 (and have ancient NVIDIA graphics cards) and I am taking notes from Linux TV on Fedora for the day when the things I need for the office are capable of being run on my main PC on Linux. I tried a bunch of other distros that resulted mostly in just confusion and unnecessary toil.

Dual citizenship is another question from deportation, I think. Non citizens can still have legal status. As far as dual citizenship is concerned, those who have citizenship through their parentage and then citizenship through ius soli seem more likely to be reasonably deported. Those who would become de facto "stateless" should give us pause for the denial of citizenship. Obviously that would have to be judged in a more individual basis through the asylum process, presently overloaded to unbelievable proportions. I believe 17 million applications for asylum were received between 2021-2024.

This is what has been puzzling to me--what the long game is on this EO when The constitutional amendment seems so clear on its face. The whole thing stands or falls on the meaning of "jurisdiction" as you rightly point out.
I liked R R Reno's perspective in a recent article referencing the concept of adverse possession in the common law, specifically to address situations where someone squats on property for a certain length of time uncontested. For those who have been living and working here for many years and working with tacit permission, and under a legal framework that tacitly permits it, or even invites it, a path to legal status seems reasonable. They have entered our jurisdiction, tacitly, so to speak. But for the recent arrivals, and the birth tourism abuse, that is another question.

Agreed.on all points, but I am wondering what the administration arguing to justify it. Is it that birthright citizenship provides an incentive? My understanding is that this amendment was intended to address the effects of slavery, which is a kind of forced immigration, but that's not what we are dealing with here. Is that the argument? 🤷‍♂️

2026-03-01 23:34:56 UTC

What are the best arguments in favor of ending birthright citizenship and against ending birthright citizenship? Links or comments would be appreciated.
I just read the US Catholic bishops' amicus brief on the Supreme court case currently awaiting judgment and feel like there's just more to it than what I read there.

My 81 year old father and I got out for a hunt, finally. It was a perfect morning. So perfect, in fact, that I wasn't five minutes in the stand before a decent buck came blistering in to see what was going on. One through the heart laid him down gently, and we enjoyed a little venison tartare today. My only regret was not getting to sit in the perfect crisp winter morning a little longer.

So I've been taking cello lessons since March and practicing most every day. I found an excellent teacher that promised me we would play no actual music but focus on scales, arpeggios, and etudes for the first year. This would be very unsatisfying, he told me, but it would give me all the tools I needed to tackle actual music when the time came.
I was astounded to learn a few weeks ago that the first "real' music I'd be learning with him was the Prelude to Bach's first solo Cello Suite, which arrived in thr mail just a few days ago.
And he was right. This piece that sounded absolutely impossible to me just a few months ago feels like it's within reach.
There's more to this instrument than I ever would have guessed, but that's what living is for. I am glad I live in a world after Bach.

For what it's worth, the Catholic tradition has quite a long history of arguing that certain things which are immoral should not therefore also be illegal.
I am drawn to the moral agnostic quality of the Bitcoin protocol, as you are. It presents a certain set of trade-offs that are very compelling in our present cultural and political setting, as well as in relationship to the weaknesses of human nature in general. But where I would draw the line versus where a true maximalist would draw it is at the point where this agnostic stance is used as the basis to order my own life and the life of society as a whole. I believe this is to commit the same error as those who subscribe to scientism. The scientific method is true and powerful, so far as it goes. The problem is when it is misused an exhaustive explanation of all of reality.
The two cases you describe above are objectionable to many, agreed. How would you address a third case, namely: Those who are incapable of deciding for themselves whether or not pornography or marijuana are things they can enjoy without being enslaved or damaged by them? The difficulty is to recognize that some people, in the act of trying these things so as to determine whether or not they can enjoy them without abuse, will be compromised by the very act of trying them.

If "fundamentalism" just means "people who believe a religion is true" then it's not a helpful term.
The term originated with a pushback against liberalizing tendencies in 20th century American Christianity, especially the Scopes trial, and was a term adopted by its adherents to describe their focus on the "fundamentals" of biblical teaching in their literal formulations as printed in the Bible. In other words, it's a variety of [Protestant American] Christianity and there are many Christians who aren't fundamentalists.
https://www.catholic.com/tract/fundamentalism
With regard to the porn/pot legalization question, I just asked because there are lots of reasons why someone could consider porn or pot dangerous besides "it's in my holy book, God said so".
Some examples of secular sources:
https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/research/
https://chasingthescream.com/2015/01/08/letters-with-peter-hitchens/
You don't need to agree with these positions to at least acknowledge they are not "fundamentalist" in any sense of the term.
Personally, I am a Catholic priest and I do not consider legal punishment the best way to solve most problems in society (especially in light of the fact that, in some places, Catholicism is considered a problem the state could "solve"). I do, however, believe that God's revealed teaching is always in harmony with reason, and it's not accurate to dismiss a moral position as "fundamentalist" when there could be any number of reasons why a position is held.

This one was a thorny task... after getting the RAM upgraded to 32 GB and swapping out the old hard drive for a 120GB SSD that I had laying about, I had to fiddle around with boot drives and all sorts of nonsense I don't really understand until (with some help from the Telegram support channel) we got it working.
Maybe I'll put some of these up on the Nostr marketplace here on #coracle soon....

Playing around with zap.cooking and got a clunky version of a great recipe posted.

This was dessert for my godson's baptismal anniversary. Make Baptism great again...
I wish I could remember where I found this online, but all I have is a link to the original images saved in my note file.

Estoy sentado
en el suelo
de una habitación desocupada,
el retrato de una joven
no deja de mirarme
mientras una vela se consume
dando vida a la estancia.
Ignoro el tiempo transcurrido,
menosprecio el que vendrá.
Es fácil sentir cerca la muerte
admirando el pábilo doblegado
especulando de manera vaga
cuando reinará la noche.
(Javier Solé, poema “Estancia en penumbra”
Del libro de poemas “Las hilanderas”)

Perhaps Jesus was not actually concerned about his followers being so impenetrably thick that they couldn’t tell the difference between a weak human being born to die, and the “immortal invisible God only wise”… I would suggest that using words like “holy father” in analogous senses about two such radically different orders of being is so commonplace as to not require comment or defense, and certainly creates no confusion on the part of anyone older than the age of three.
I get called Jesus and God all the time … by three year olds. Everyone else just chuckles.
I also work regularly with evangelical, Bible-only Christians who want nothing to do with calling me Father. I explain to them that it’s more a reminder to me that I am called to lay down my life, as fathers must, rather than to demand blind obedience from God’s flock. My parishioners certainly don’t obey me blindly. I invite the Sola Scriptura Christians to use the title, in that sense, as an act of charity. They always decline, so there are a few terms I suggest as alternatives. In the end, if they call me Nick, I’m not worried about it, but I pray for an increase in brotherly love on the part of my fellow believers. 😉
