All my life, I have felt a strong affinity with Jewish people, but now that my employer, Columbia University, has adopted the IHRA definition of antisemitism, I suddenly find myself labeled an "antisemite" because I oppose Palestinian oppression.

I think far too many people are being critical of @defcon for doing events outside of the US. The reality is, DEF CON is impossible to access for far too many people outside of the US because of US visa restrictions. This has always been a problem, but it has become a much bigger one lately.
For starters, the US has one of the world's most expensive visas. It now costs $424 per person (since the addition of the new "Visa Integrity Fee"). Additionally, the US requires in-person interviews to issue a visa, and these take place at a US embassy or consulate. Unless you live in your country's capital, you'll have travel expenses on top of it.
Then, of course, there are the delays for interviews. These can take months or even years. It was starting to get better, but the federal government laid off a large number of people who process visas, immediately resulting in extended delays. If you want to speak at DEF CON, and you're a foreigner, it's highly questionable whether you'll get a visa in time.
Finally, there is "extreme vetting" which is taking even more time. Suppose you're selected for "additional visa processing." What triggers this? The criteria are a secret, but there is a strong correlation with things like being a known hacker traveling to DEF CON.
Finally, the US is denying visas for what they perceive as political speech (or expected political speech) that opposes the Party. This isn't unique in the world; other authoritarian countries like China also do this, which made it difficult for DEF CON to operate there.
DEF CON isn't unique in facing these challenges. The United States is closing the door to foreigners, limiting international collaboration, and limiting political speech. The only question is how to respond. Hosting DEF CON events in other locales, which guarantee research freedom and welcome international collaboration, is an entirely reasonable response.
I am an American, and I will warn you -- Do not come here!
We've locking up people who have Visas, who paid the fee, who passed the interview, who have never once wished us harm, or spoke out against any political party.
None of that matters.
You can be locked be for just being brown. Or can be white, and still be locked up, because the person checking visas is in a bad mood. Or, in the case of a recent Canadian, didn't respond well when someone was trying to flirt with her.
And once locked up, you can pretty much vanish in the system for days, weeks, or even months without a phone call.
Do not come here.
This is not the United States you know, or thought you knew. We're a nation gone insane, and it is not safe to come here.
Some of us would love to leave here, and we would if we could.

Funny #mastodon search interaction. I was looking for something about MIT (the US University). But there’s a lot of German speakers who use the word “mit” a lot. (It means “with”)
No problem, right? I can search for “language: English”. And that’s when I find all the bilingual posters who post German language in a post labeled English. A lot more than you’d expect.

Please, there is still a little time left for us to go to the store and get something for dinner. Can anyone help us out? We have 2 kids and 2 adults to feed, but we only have $9.
Thanks for any help you can give. Please boost whether you can help with cash or not. Every little bit helps!

Even at 8GB/s a "I installed this Windows Update and then SSD dead" would be a strange report unless the user let it spin for 20 hours 😛
