  Idiot Trump now unable to be blocked by judges
Posted by: Lilith7 - 28-06-2025, 03:51 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (12)

He's managed to get the judge's power curbed & claims its a 'massive victory & will stop the barrage of injunctions 'against him.

So now, he can end birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented migrants & some temporary residents & visitors.

A judge who disagrees, Justice Sotomayor wrote that 'the court's decision is nothing less than an open invitation for the govt to bypass the constitution.'


There seems to now be nothing to stop Trump from doing whatever he likes. Poor America.

  Samsung hyjack
Posted by: colpol - 27-06-2025, 07:58 PM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (12)

Samsung Galaxy A25.
On ┬áprepay and donÔÇÖt use data. Connect through the internet. Thursday evening was browsing Facebook when a pop up came on and said I had 964 viruses. That was the start of a continuous bombardment of ads for all sorts of crap.┬á I go into the close apps and nothing there.
Shut it down and charged it to 100 %. Turned it on and within a couple of minutes it started with the crap. Unable to use anything on the phone. Left it for about 3 hrs and went back to it. It was hot and the battery was down to 25%. Searched the problem and all I get is how to close apps.
Any ideas from the gurus here would be welcome.

  Windows 10 exiles fear not, KDE is here!
Posted by: nzoomed - 27-06-2025, 11:46 AM - Forum: PC World Chat - Replies (14)

I love this page that has been put together by the KDE community.
Ive already seen a number of people jump ship to linux in recent months, win11 definitely has some impact on this.
I also see plasma 6.4 has been released which has many new features and extra refinements made.

  Kiwisaver 'witcheroo' to hit women, low paid workers hardest
Posted by: Lilith7 - 26-06-2025, 03:49 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - No Replies

Oops - switcheroo!


Well - of course it will. That, I suspect is the idea behind this.  Dodgy Angry

The long term aim of Neo Liberals does appear to be showing a tendency to want a move to a type of feudalism so obviously they'll hit hardest at those most vulnerable first.

If there's a more despicable type of politician - apart of course,from actual fascsists, hardline Stalin type Communists & the like, then I've not come across them.

  the McBishop, 'Weaponising the haka'
Posted by: Lilith7 - 26-06-2025, 03:41 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (14)

He really is quite repulsive Dodgy

And narrow minded & I suspect very immature as well. How many well balanced people tend to burn a book, simply due to it having been written by a former PM who also happens to be a woman - possible the real problem these idiots have..well, one of them.
