  • I kinda get it as a policy decision. I don’t like it, but I understand the risk and I can empathize.

    What really bugs me though is this announcement right here and then it just… didn’t happen. It feels kind of dishonest to have a big announcement welcoming them back and then nothing comparative saying that they apparently changed their minds immediately. Feels like there should at least be an edit/addendum to this announcement being like ‘psych, fingers crossed!’. Trying to defuse with humor, I do know any statement would invite discontent from the userbase, but I feel like the complete lack of one kind of kills our trust in the admins here even more.










  • It’s just for-profit prisons but now in El Salvador:

    Bukele later confirmed the agreement with Rubio on X, saying in a post, “We are willing to take in only convicted criminals (including convicted US citizens) into our mega-prison (CECOT) in exchange for a fee.”

    El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, commonly referred to as CECOT, is the country’s largest and newest prison, with a maximum capacity of 40,000 inmates.

    “The fee would be relatively low for the US but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable,” he added.

    Primary goal is stated as holding deportees, but the option of holding US citizens was floated by El Salvador as well. Deporting US citizens in this matter should currently be illegal.

    I used to have a job supporting devices like these. You don’t need a lot of power to run these and you can get a used device exceptionally cheap that can probably do the job most of the time. You can get really old too if the resolution on the image isn’t too high, probably not actually older than ARM, but old enough where you wonder how close it is for a second.
