Thanks to Obama, Elon is theus governments special boy that can do what he wants

Try monotherapy!

Why are you telling us to kill Palestinians?

Holy shit. I interacted with you months ago, and can’t believe you’re still just out here telling removed to kill themselves

Oh shit. Nobody tell congress or else they’re gonna ban linux

On the hardware level, it will take a while. In the software level, I don’t think it will ever happen.

I’m no computer engineer, but this seems like a silly take. Hardware requires supply chains and some of the most closely guarded technology in the world. Software requires programmers and time.

the Linux Kernel, the GNU stuff, the systemd stuff, the Freedesktop specifications, Xorg if they still use it, wayland protocols and wlroots, are all developed by people from The West,

Literally anyone can download those things and fork them. And I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s already chinese contributors. And if China really wanted, they could even ignore the GPL and not publish their changes to the source code 😲

Not everyone can download extreme UV lithography.

Because of propaganda, people find it easier to imagine the end of the world before the end of capitalism. Just the same, theres lots of commenters here that could imagine the end of the internet before they imagine the end of advertising on the internet.

Pay executives less. Focus on grants and PBS-style ‘underwriting’. Subscription services like email and VPN.

Getting into advertising is just jumping into an intractable conflict of interest.

just think this is an incredibly irresponsible and flagrant way to phrase the title specifically. Data doesn’t support it, the sheer numbers don’t support it either. Like the actual number is 0.000004% percent of the US population have been sentenced to death, and executed in the US since 1976.

You’ve completely lost the plot, mate. Nobody is saying that a significant percent of the population is being executed.

How many people have been executed on Putin’s orders? A hundred? So that’s only like 0.00007% of the Russian population. no big deal then.

The VAST majority of that coming from the south.

I wonder why.

because we’re talking about a specific state, exercising independent rights over capital punishment,

Independent rights granted by the supreme court. AKA the federal government. The 9 robed, tenured individuals are part of the regime. You’re just uncritically accepting the federalist society’s position here.

Did you know there was once a moratorium on all executions in the US? But you seem to think of it as a natural law that Missouri has the right to execute whoever they please.

The title reads as if the “US government” (an entity, which is not an appropriate description) solely and single handedly murdered a guy

You’re inferring way too much here. Nobody said or implied that the US federal government was solely responsible for this execution. When a headline reads that the Russian regime assassinated a political dissident, do you take the time to point out the federated nature of the Russian government? Would it matter that the evidence points more to an official act of the Dagestan government instead of a direct order from the Kremlin?

Obviously this isn’t a perfect analogy. But the “US government” (the entity, which is an appropriate description) has given the greenlight for these executions. The supreme court has approved these punishments, and the executive and legislative branches have done nothing to prevent it.

suddenly, that lone state speaks for an entire population of 330 million people.

When someone calls a government a “regime” they’re usually implying that the government doesn’t accurately reflect the will of the people.

this wouldn’t even be a regime at all judging by modern contemporary definitions.

I’d like to see the definition you’re talking about. The dictionary definitions definitely fit. Sometimes the definition doesn’t even have negative connotations. You’re just offended because someone used a word reserved for enemies of the US to describe the US.

This. (although I follow the directions here, which is a little more than apt install). The only thing I couldn’t get on Debian stable is the latest gnome. But when I tried debian testing, it was slightly broken anyway. And gnome extensions could get most of the functionality missing in my older gnome version. Debian stable + flatpak + anaconda + adding repositories (like for firefox) is a perfect compromise.

What’s nice about a stable distro is you can update the things you want to update, and your OS isn’t constantly changing a million packages a week that you don’t even know the function of.

I think that’s why they included the “fuck you, official act” part.

Gotta wonder how many state actors have been using it for years.

The passive (or exonerative) voice in that article is infuriating. Police tackle the suspect, but the bystander was just “shot in the head”. By whom? Hard to say when you’re licking boots.

An anarchist would take off the capitalist mask to reveal hierarchy

Yes! The whole “lawyers are evil money grabbers” is a corporate psy-op. They want you to think it’s unreasonable for a person to sue a corporation when the corporation’s actions are harmful. They also want you to think defense attorneys are people who just look for technicalities to free guilty people.

They created armies of lawyers for themselves, while making americans distrustful of the ones fighting for normal people. We used to think of lawyers like Atticus Finch or Perry Mason. But now we just think of Saul Goodman and Lionel Hutz.

But you still post in lemmy.ml/privacy?

Yeah, I’m trying to convince everyone to start using signal before the slide towards fascism turns into a drop
