I know a guy who used to be a conservative, until he went to college. It wasn't "woke professors" that change him to a liberal, it was being in an actual city instead of the small town he grew up in.

Meeting more diverse people made him realize he was fed lies about others while growing up.

So yeah, if you ever wondered why the right wants to shut down education and universities, that's one reason.

We knew this was coming, but now the clock is running. From Privacy International:

"Yesterday the Trump Administration announced a proposed change in policy for travellers to the U.S. It applies to the powers of data collection by the Customs and Border Police (CBP)."

"If the proposed changes are adopted after the 60-day consultation, then millions of travellers to the U.S. will be forced to use a U.S. government mobile phone app, submit their social media from the last five years and email addresses used in the last ten years, including of family members. They’re also proposing the collection of DNA."

PI linked to and summarized a Federal Register entry describing the proposed requirements:

-All visitors must submit ‘their social media from the last 5 years’

-ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) applications will include ‘high value data fields’, ‘when feasible’
‘telephone numbers used in the last five years’
-‘email addresses used in the last ten years’
-‘family number telephone numbers (sic) used in the last five years’
-biometrics – face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris
-business telephone numbers used in the last five years
-business email addresses used in the last ten years.

The Federal Register entry says comments are encouraged and

@karlauerbach LOL. As I just said in the thread. They will not reciprocate. They haven't in the last 20 years

The US have been fingerprinting for over twenty years. Each time I complained about it, Canadians and Americans looked at me like "what are you talking about". And no reciprocity either because Europe is a bunch of cowards.

I need a new Apple Watch. I think I'm going to go for the SE 3, since it's cheaper, and see what happens this fall. If I really want the Series 12, I have a trade-in. If not, I have an SE 3 I can keep for a while. It only lacks ECG, blood oxygen, and hypertension detection, none of which I need or regularly use. The Series 11 is thinner, but I'm used to the Series 9, so I'm not losing anything there either.
