The Trump administration deported a 31-year-old Salvadoran man minutes after a federal appeals court barred his removal while his case proceeded, the government admitted in a court filing this week.
In its filing, the government denied that it had violated the order from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in New York, instead blaming “a confluence of administrative errors.”

I feel like tech has gotten smarter, and I've gotten dumber. My Roku Ultra says it does Miracast (on the website) but in my settings I see only Airplay. And my phone (android) does not see it when searching. So does it not do it or am I doing something wrong? #feelingold

There's power in words. Incredible power. It's the closest thing to magic we come, I'd say. The words you select will bring images to life in another person's mind. You can bring smells into their life, touch, feelings. You can enrich or you can scare. Make people laugh, cry, learn.

Omfg, as much as I have mixed feelings about setting up ecommerce stores of any kind, Freewebstore is another level of nightmare.

UX that treats me like a toddler while trying way too hard to upgrade me to a paid plan.
Oh, and of course. AI. AI this, AI that 😓 😡
Never, never, never again.

I propose the following contest for the Apple designers and engineers working on the UI:
Round 1: create a folder with two apps
Round 2: after placing the folder at one the side of the screen, add two more apps to the folder.
Round 3: add four more apps to the folder but on the second screen of the folder
Round 4: move top left and 3rd icons from the 2nd screen to another, new folder
Each round should be timed.
If you are proud with your result, all good.
