On an X1 Carbon Gen 9 (11th-gen i5/Iris Xe), FreeBSD not booting is usually one of two things: (1) bad USB image/write method or (2) UEFI settings (Secure Boot / Intel VMD-RST).

"Well then, I guess I'm a dying breed!" World citizen. Language and System Analyst. Technology as a tool for cultural development. Ontology and language analysis help to edit, clarify, negate the flow of information, and to formulate an opinion – as a human being, as a citizen. The fight against stupidity and nationalism, every day.

It is just another "Trump is playing the public", like: "It's not meee! - It's the others!"

The "Forbidden Planet" was published under the name W. J. Stuart (a pseudonym of Philip MacDonald).
In Forbidden Planet, the godlike capability is primarily from a planet-wide (underground) machine, not one handheld item per protagonist. It’s common for recollections to compress that into “devices” (e.g., personal access/controls) because the machine effectively makes thought into reality at planetary scale.

"Right now, there is a strategy coming from the White House. Here is how that strategy works. You witness so much wrongdoing that your ability to be shocked begins to erode. You are hit with so many scandals that the details blur together. Eventually, the effort required to stay informed becomes so draining that tuning out feels like the only option left. That is not a failure on your part. That is the goal."

I hope you opened the New Year with cheer, Donald Trump and Nicolas Maduro notwithstanding.

Edward R. Murrow: “We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.”
What is a "Kavanaugh Stop"?
#Kavanaugh believes that the citizens and #immigrants who were illegally detained likely could not sue because “what matters is the ‘reality of the threat of repeated injury.’” Somehow, Kavanaugh decided that the plaintiffs have “no good basis to believe that law enforcement will unlawfully stop them in the future based on the prohibited factors - and certainly no good basis for believing that any stop of the plaintiffs is imminent.”
“The disconnect between the Trump administration and what’s really going on in the oil world, and what American companies want, is huge,” says Lorne Stockman, an analyst with Oil Change International, a clean energy and fossil fuels research and advocacy organization.
Nothing has changed.
#Trump Model Management, has profited from using foreign models who came to the United States on tourist visas that did not permit them to work here, according to three former Trump models, all noncitizens, who shared their stories with Mother Jones. Financial and immigration records included in a recent lawsuit filed by a fourth former Trump model show that she, too, worked for Trump’s agency in the United States without a proper visa.

MICHIGAN: Police arrest protestor of Trump’s attack on Venezuela while she’s live on air 🤔🇺🇸
The trappings of law await Nicolás #maduro at the courthouse at 500 Pearl Street in lower Manhattan. There is an indictment. There will be prosecutors and defense counsel, a judge and briefs. In the end, when all is said and done, and if the #trump administration does not colossally bungle this case, there will probably be a conviction and a hefty prison sentence.
But we cannot lose sight of what has brought us here ...

149,070 #arrests by #ICE in 2024
by the two operational branches of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in fiscal year 2024. That includes 113,430 administrative arrests (76.1% of total arrests) conducted by ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, as well as #criminal arrests: 3,032 by #ERO and 32,608 by #Homeland Security Investigations, the transnational criminal #investigative division of ICE.

![While criminal investigations and arrests are part of ICE’s mission, it is the administrative arrests made by ERO that are the focus of this page. ERO enforces immigration law — not criminal law — in the US interior, administratively arresting people outside the border regions who are in violation of the law (the border is handled by US Customs and Border Protection [CBP]). Only noncitizens (also called aliens in US immigration law) who have civil immigration violations are subject to administrative arrest, a key distinction from the HSI arrests that target citizens and noncitizens alike for alleged criminal conduct relating to transnational crime.
ICE made 102,410 administrative arrests from January to November 2024, putting them behind the 10-year (2014–2023) average of arrests through November, and behind the 2023 arrest numbers.

Writing “Merry Christmas” feels heavy when my family is listening to explosions in Kharkiv.
Still, I believe in good — and in the small ways we choose it and share it with others.
So… Merry Christmas.
