StarkRG@myside-yourside.netOct 14, 2026, 7:11 AM@whitequark I wonder if this is related to the recent Ledger crypto currency device supply chain attack or if Trump just really hates espressif.

Oct 14, 2026, 6:00 PM@whitequark Global Entry has always been a contingent bestowal of official favor, to be granted or revoked at any time, for reasons that you don’t have a right to hear or meaningfully contest.
And it’s administered by CBP, which has had a, shall we say, *expansive* view of its powers for decades.
I’m not saying it’s good; just saying what it is.
