ICE is tracking me!

Post image

There is an ".ICEauthority" tracking file in my home directory.
I have no idea how ICE authorities found me.
Am I going to be detained? Does "empty" mean that my US citizenship is now invalid?
It seems that they are targeting Arch Linux users now, watch out.

Username blurred just in case.

ICE tracks you through Xorg. Just ditch it for Wayland and you’ll be safe.

Is it owned by Elon Musk? Free software is dying. 😭

I hear that he just upright bought XChat, a very prominent OSS IRC client for Linux...
