  • I guess it means "full mask off". Wait, that's what they've been doing for the past years anyhow. Hmmm.

    Also how would that be retaliation against France and the UK? It's like any tough movie criminal's favorite trick: I will torture not you, but this person you feel for until you give me what I want!

    But seriously, my octogenarian parents would probably gobble it up and blame anybody who recognizes Palestine for being too confrontational, thus making lasting peace impossible. I kid you not.

  • Trump and his Republican stooges in Congress apparently anticipated this. Hidden inside their Big Ugly Bill is a provision intended to block the courts from using contempt to enforce its orders. It reads:

    “No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued …”

    Translated: no federal court may enforce a contempt citation.

    The measure would make most existing injunctions – in antitrust cases, police reform cases, school desegregation cases and others – unenforceable.

    “This would be a stunning restriction on the power of the federal courts. The Supreme Court has long recognized that the contempt power is integral to the authority of the federal courts. Without the ability to enforce judicial orders, they are rendered mere advisory opinions which parties are free to disregard.”

    In other words, with this single measure, Trump will have crowned himself king.

  • Onnetomuuksien lisäksi suurin ongelma on niiden paljous (kaupungeissa) ja järjetön pysäköinti. Toivottavasti tämä auttaa siihenkin.

  • I recently learned about the horrors that went on around systematic child abduction & abuse in Korea. Went on well into the 1980s. Sorry I don't remember the name of the podcast/docu. And yes, South Korea.

  • Make it make sense!

    Just kidding. It makes perfect sense. All signs point to totalitarianism.

  • Those pesky "We have updated our privacy policy" emails. And "by ignoring this message you have signaled consent" (paraphrasing).

  • Google is clearly experimenting with baking ads into the delivered video streams, YT Premium members get served different endpoints already in preparation.

    Enshittification is guaranteed even for the paid tier.

    Maybe there'll be silver, gold and platinum memberships next. How long til you realize you've been had?

  • Sort of hard to exist without interacting with Google at all

    I explicitely did not claim that.

    And as the other guy said, you don't need a G account to watch youtube.

  • The article makes a point about a certain type of workplace vampirism - which also finds its way into the finished product - but also points out that there are different types of complexity and they aren't all "bad". It's a little confusing to read imho.

    But I get the point. I am by no means an IT person but I just took over a blog theme and I'm apalled by the minified CSS framework the whole thing relies on. Looking at the margins for some divs, they are defined and overridden 4 times before their final value, and only the 5th time could have been avoided had the original developer known a little more about the framework they were apparently eager to use.

  • Yeah fuck Google. Delete all Google accounts before it's too late. Plenty of alternatives exist and you can still benefit from their rankings and whatnot, if your business depends on that.

  • Yeah there's something very ironic about this quote:

    "I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him," Trump said.

  • This is what Trump does: the wildest takes non-stop, beyond of what anyone considers decent, but if the polls clearly show that he's falling out of favor, he's always ready to make a U-turn, and brag about it.

    Fuck this guy. I'm glad he did in this case, but this is no way to run a country. Also, he's still shitting on Zelensky.

  • Kannustan.

  • I deleted my main reddit account as soon as I switched to lemmy. I didn't want some sort of karma regret to kick in.

  • This only happened to me the other way round: I couldn't join a sub because I was subscribed to other, opposed subs.

    I kinda understand why reddit mods do that, but I hope feddit/lemmit won't ever get to this point. There must be a better way.

  • I was banned from r/therightcannotmeme because my profile pic (same as here) is somehow bad. Had to pester the mods to even get an explanation, and they replied with one of those fancy terms marxists use. Imperialist? Reactionist?

    Then - much more influential to me - I got kicked out from modding a sub (the only sub I ever modded) because I asked the head mod too many questions, or questioned their way of modding. Powertripping that person was.

    I don't like when people shit on mods, because moderation is necessary. But that person basically proved all the haters right for me. And the silence of the other mods in that sub.

  • Yes, that's a given. I just wanted to hear other people's squishy feelings about it. It seems most (some who've been here for years) don't see it so dramatically.
