No, the only thing I wish would center around the US is an asteroid. I absolutely hate it here, but I don’t have the means to leave.
One of my in-laws has dual England/US citizenship. They divide their time between the two countries. It directly effects them.
Is it wrong to hope it hits the specific city I live in? 😅
It affects certain people from America. I have a relative who is directly affected by this.
Not if they are in the UK? Idk, that’s probably a weird edge case, but unless we’re all free, nobody is.
The UK is part of 5 Eyes. They swap info on citizens among members. No warrants, no constitutional protections. All they have to do is ask MI5 for info on Americans with dual citizenship.
No, but they’re part of 5 Eyes. The US government can ask MI5 to spy on US citizens, which gets around 4th amendment protections.
This will allow them to spy on any US citizens with dual citizenship.
I’d just as soon not use google apps, where possible.
A better title would be “Apple helps the US government bypass the 4th amendment”.

I did it a long time ago. The best time to change was 5-10 years ago. The second best time is now.
It’s time to de-Google, de-amazon, de-Microsoft, de-apple, etc.
Just those crotchety old timers who currently gatekeep the code base.
I borrow them from my library through the Libby and Hoopla apps. If I want to support the author, I’ll buy a copy through some other means. Directly from them, if possible.
We’ve already seen a few crotchety old timers who don’t want to add rust to the Linux kernel.
At some point, a complete rewrite of the kernel in a memory safe language would be prudent. Unfortunately, the dinosaurs will have to go extinct before that can happen.
Wth is Mapillary?
I’m the last person to ask. Reddit banned my email and devices after I posted that “If you have the opportunity to punch a Nazi, you should ALWAYS punch the Nazi.”
Except that hard wood has long since turned into coal.
