Trump administration says it has begun deporting migrants to Guantánamo Bay
  • ive been seeing some supposed marxists spreading a narrative that the deportations havent actually increased with trump, that he's just been advertising what was already going on in previous governments, to please his supporters.

    Is this thing of sending immigrants to guantanamo a new thing? are the deportations worse than before? is the narrative i mentioned a big distortion of reality?

  • Trump administration says it has begun deporting migrants to Guantánamo Bay

    the U.S. Department of Justice claimed that habeas corpus—a legal recourse against unlawful detention—did not apply to Guantanamo Bay because it was outside of U.S. territory.

    The Bush administration maintained that it was not obliged to grant prisoners basic protections under the U.S. Constitution or the Geneva Conventions, since the former did not extend to foreign soil and the latter did not apply to "unlawful enemy combatants". Various humanitarian and legal advocacy groups claimed that these policies were unconstitutional and violated international human rights law;[5][6] several landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions found that detainees had rights to due process and habeas corpus but were still subject to military tribunals, which remain controversial for allegedly lacking impartiality, independence, and judicial efficiency.[7][8]

  • Happy #GlobalSwitchDay
  • in these groups theres often someone that just cannot install a new app because their phones storage is full and they can't afford a better phone (or just don't want to spend money on it). i wouldn't insist with these people and just accept using whatsapp

  • What's the deal with Signal?
  • If we have a federated messager that some people self host, would that actually be more secure? i dont know much about how federation works, but i imagine that an intelligence agency could make an instance that would federate to the others, listen to the metadata of the exchanges in the network and rebuild a social graph like a centralized server could. Is this a non-issue?

  • Free and open-source YouTube clients w/ no ads
  • you dont need root for these things. just download the fdroid apk from its website, open the apk (you probably need to allow installing third party apps in the settings, which come disabled by default these days), then search for libretube or newpipe inside fdroid after letting it download its app catalogue (it may seem confusing that fdroid seems empty at first, but you may just need to slide down to update and wait a second for it to download the catalogue).

  • Should I start an OF/Fansly etc.?
  • echoing some other people, this is a scam to exploit you. if youre extremely lucky, youll earn something, but doing a good job is certainly not enough, you still need luck. OF just needs a small percentage of people making money serving as bait to attract a huge bunch of other people to exploit, regardless of merit, and thats the part youll play most likely.

  • How to stay in touch without Instagram?
  • be mindful of what info you want out of instagram before opening it. open it, get what you were looking for and get out. dont let it suck you in. turn off notifications. maybe install it in the work profile (if you use android) and leave the profile disabled when youre not using it.

    i try to only open it once a week, like i do with my personal email. otherwise i get sucked into it when i procrastinate. but i admit i mostly rely on some friends finding out about local events.
