That is because they have no idea what it does. No one can vote that doesn't prove citizenship with notarized birth certificate or passport. Millions of American citizens have neither. These documents are not free so poorer Americans may not get around to it in time for midterms. Married women who change to husbands name are in an interesting situation that has not been resolved for this Act. Note that this administration is in charge of passports and we are in a government shutdown so getting those may be problematic as well.
And what are the logistics? Can you imagine this passes and millions of people are forced to register or re-register at the same time? I think your local post office and other places to register to vote like DMV would be swamped.
In all it is quite possible that millions of actual American citizens will not be allowed to vote if this passes before midterms. At the very least it requires a lot more care to mitigate these quite likely harms.
DHS is completely out of control with its ICE Gestapo. So out of control its head got sacked. There is ample reason for everyone sane to demand it be brought under control.

The agents do not reason or really understand anything conceptually if you are talking LLM. You cannot turn over what needs to be exact and securely done to them rationally.

Nostr is an idiotic basis for secure and private communication. Especially in terms of metadata.
You cannot run a really high quality working model based on LLM. You won't have the resources needed. What I can run locally on a 4090 is cool and useful for many things but it isn't all that powerful.
If you think you can ask Claw or LLM to be a good cybersecurity expert for you you are in very dangerous delusional territory.

More 1984 stuff. Well there is always going without a SIM and carrying a data only brick.
Mexico Mandates Biometric SIM Registration for All Phone Numbers
----------------------------------------------------------------
Anonymous prepaid SIM cards are dying in Mexico. By July 1, 2026, every active cell phone number in the country must be biometrically linked to a named, government-credentialed individual or face suspension. That’s around 127 million numbers, each one tethered to an identity the Mexican government can look up by name.
The mobile registration law took effect January 9, 2026, covering prepaid and postpaid plans, physical SIMs, and eSIMs alike. Existing subscribers have until June 30 to complete registration. New lines activated after January 9 get 30 days. Miss the window, and the line goes dark.
The enforcement mechanism runs through the CURP Biométrica, Mexico’s biometric upgrade to its existing population registry code. The new credential embeds a photograph, electronic signature, and QR code that ties directly to biometrically verified records held in the national registry.

Trump was best friends with Epstein. Trump bragged about being able to grab any woman by the pussy. Trump in many recorded interviews made clear how much of a natural perv he was to young models on Howard Stern. It would be very hard to believe that he didn't take advantage.

Get off Apple now. Time for Linux and GrapheneOS unless you want further abuse.
Share
Apple is now blocking app downloads across three countries and wiring age data directly into developers’ apps, all in the name of compliance. It’s also bringing some of these features to some US states that are demanding compliance with digital ID checks.
Starting this week, users in Australia, Brazil, and Singapore can no longer download apps rated 18+ without first confirming they’re adults. The App Store handles that age confirmation automatically, which sounds tidy but raises the obvious question: how does Apple know? The company isn’t detailing the mechanism, only noting that developers may still face separate compliance requirements on top of what Apple handles.

The bill, currently before the Senate Committee on Business, Labor, and Technology with a hearing scheduled for February 24, would require operating system providers to collect your date of birth when you create an account.

Spin up gravity when you need it on a large enough space station and have the advantage of microgravity or none when that is best for what you are doing.
Lots of differentiation of material in asteroids and half mirror solar furnance in inner solar system can provide a lot of process heat on demand.
Asteroids are not at all useless. Best nickel deposit on earth I hear was from an ancient metallic meteor hit. BTW the metallics have a lot of very high priced precious metals that would be darn useful for funding the rest of what is really needed for space development.

I think large scale space colonies, O'Neil colonies at GEO and beyond laregely build from near earth asteroid material is the way to go. 2 mile by 10 mile or so rotating cylinder. Earth normal inner outer edge gravity. Variable gravity toward the center. Solar mirrors for light and much of heat. Much better than being on some rock not at all fit for human habitation like the moon or Mars.
Of course first step is a doozy. IMHO we need lots of space robotics and nuclear space tugs to change down near earth asteroids to get it done. Can't do it with humans in space alone as we are fragile, especially outside van Allen belts, until a lot of supporting space infrastructure is in place.
