Sometimes publications change the hed on internet articles post publication. I suspect that's what happened here.

You can turn of speech to text censorship. It made me a happier person. IIRC it's buried in the keyboard settings.

As for the threats of tariffing people? Pure nonsense. If he somehow finds a way, he probably opens himself up to litigation. I'd assume discrimination lawsuits or something like that, would ensue.

Looking at last night's election results, that really worked out great for him. Lol.

Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings, and sexual assaults in several states,

I'd need to see some exceptionally compelling evidence to be convinced they weren't actually just ICE officers doing this.

And later in the story...

A senior ICE official tells WIRED: “Anyone caught impersonating themselves as a federal immigration agent will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Impersonating a federal immigration officer endangers public safety and erodes trust in law enforcement.”

Only the bootliquors still have any trust remaining. Fucking trust. Lol

Then I'm f'd because it's really hard to enter tabs in most password text fields.

I noticed that and also noticed how they swapped out the assistant for for Gemini AI bullshit that doesn't work right so you can't tell it to turn on a light or generally to do anything and have it actually do it correctly.

Every time my phone gets an update I have to go and switch that shit back. I honestly believe they're trying to get me to buy a Linux phone.

Yeah. It's hard. It's been hard for me too.

I'm teaching my kids as I learn for myself; it's critically important that you not dehumanize people and seek understanding and strive to be compassionate.

I've also known people that have voted for trump 1st term to be good people for long enough that I see it as valuable to deeply interrogate the process by which they came to be such as they are now. For me, at least, it feels lazy and dishonest to flatly dismiss them as bad. Even trump 2 voters, I can see that they, nearly all, were submerged in a propaganda machine designed to break people.

Are some of them sociopathic monsters? You bet! Society needs protected from them.

I see the groupthink on both sides as the most dangerous thing though. The manipulation (of all sides) as the enemy. The dismissal of human life as the root problem. Most especially when profit is placed over people, but also when it's done by either side.

My concern is that dehumanization plays into their hands and I see the dehumanization as a direct path to violent conflict. They want violence because it would free them to use the insurrection act as a means to their ends.

So, to bring it full circle, seeing them as bad and evil and unworthy of compassion or even dialogue plays directly into their hands.
