Onky if the price is higher due to regulations on child labor and non-toxic materials and manufacturing processes. Oh, wait, they want to roll all of that back to the 50s, too!

I don't really disagree with you. It's dumb to go out of your way to block an OS that probably works just fine.

That said, the answer is probably "lawyers" and an attempt to limit liability. People rely on the course materials to work. If they don't want to out the effort into testing to ensure that their software works on Linux, even if it would probably be fine, they may want to limit the possibility of being sued by someone when it somehow screws up their semester.

So, they out up a soft barrier that says "this may not work right" but let you use it anyway. They have deniability if something goes wrong while the savvy Linux user probably just laughs and changes their user agent.

Essentially, no one is hurt and the lawyers are happy.

I wonder if there is animosity between Trump and Huckabee Sanders. Maybe this is retribution for some slight? She did go more than 90 days without doing a press briefing before she stepped down as press secretary.

Nope, no corruption here! Definitely no corruption happening! Everything is 100% above board!

These people need to be hanged for treason.

I felt like Austin was trying way too hard. The city felt like 20% over the top hippies, 40% normalish but traumatized people trying to live their lives, and 40% right wing nut jobs.

That's still much better than most of Texas which seemed like 40% normalish people and 60% right wing nut jobs, though.

I lived in Texas for two years. The number of times I had the following conversation was staggering:

Texas is the best place in the world!

Oh? Where else have you been?

I ain't been anywhere else... Why would I go anywhere else? Texas is the best place in the world!

Sometimes there was legitimate confusion on their face. Sometimes it was delivered deadpan. Sotimes it was more of a challenge or threat. It was always flabbergasting...

Be Shapiro is a shit head and deserves all the flack that can be hurled at him. Where does the no chin thing come from, though? He seems to have a pretty normal chin.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. You are 100% right. Abrego Garcia is an El Salvadorian national who is here under a legally protected status and who is married to a citizen.

He shouldn't have been deported without due process, but he also isn't a US citizen.

Marriage does not grant citizenship. It is an expensive and complicated process to get citizenship for a foreign spouse.

Ummm, no, he is not a citizen. He was here under a legal protected status because a judge recognized that he was in danger if he returned to El Salvador.

Garcia is still a citizen of El Salvador.

He shouldn't have been deported without due process, but marriage to a citizen does not automatically grant citizenship.

Thank you, that was very helpful.

Can someone explain this for me? I'm tired and the article is both missing context and full of double negative legal filings and rulings. I'm not sure what actually happened and who is on the side of ending qualified immunity.

They're coming for OSHA next, I bet.

I also assume that kids shoes don't last as long, though. There is no reason to build them to last.

How slow would that windows box be with the minimum specs? That seems like it would be a nightmare.

Linux on the other hand will run on anything and it's glorious!

If true, this is a huge step! Congrats to China!

"Strategic stamina" is something that the US used to have but which has disappeared as the country just tries to catch its breath.

SCOTUS already said that's off the table in Trump v. United States. This will not impact Trump directly, only his accomplices.

While I agree, who is going to do the prosecution? The DOJ is compromised.

Good thing they have a $50B endowment to fall back on. Not all schools have that. Here's hoping that Harvard fighting back leads to some kind of positive change.

What an astoundingly stupid idea. I can't think of many programs that deliver more value per dollar for everyone who develops or uses technology than the CVE program. This administration keeps raising the bar for stupidity.
