(Translation: The American side lined up requests to review Japanese automobile safety standards, but there was no confirmation of whether there was intent to drop the 25% automobile tariffs, and no indication of where the negotiations with Japan would lead.)
(Additionally, the US negotiators rattled off a list of products they requested to expand their exports to Japan of as well as to remove regulations/non-tariff barriers. This included beef, rice, seafood and potatoes.)
赤沢大臣はこうした指摘に「優先順位をつけて示してほしい」と述べたということです。
(In response to these pointers, Minister Akazawa stated "We would like these requests ranked by priority".)
So all in all, the US side seems to spend their time listing a bunch of grievances, the Japan side lending an ear to their concerns, but not sure where the give-and-take part of the negotiations is here.
There exist instances that have more of a free-speech "focus", but despite that most instances cannot tolerate intolerance, harassment, trolling, illegal or borderline illegal stuff. There is generally more tolerance for disagreement on Lemmy than other forums, where unpopular takes are heavily downvoted instead of removed.
A common sequence of events that happens with trolls or flamebaiters:
Troll says something unpopular, but not rule breaking (comment downvoted but not removed by mods)
Several other people respond/rebut
Troll continues a long back-and-forth argument that gets nowhere, or resorts to ad hominems, slurs or personal attacks (rule-breaking)
comments get reported
Mods remove the entire thread including the initial comment, and give out a community ban
Troll decries censorship of the initial not rule-breaking comment, when it was the follow up that was the problem.
So yeah, it's to keep out the jerks. Behave well, think of others as you speak, then you will find yourself able to say more than in places with professed free-speech absolutism. If you don't like that, start your own instance so that no one can moderate you in your own space, and watch the jerks, trolls and spammers roll in after a while.
We have great examples from a certain country, to show that "allowing unlimited money in politics = free speech" is bad. There will be disingenuous 'slippery slope' arguments to it but the types of campaigns that this rule is meant to stop is clearly defined and limited.
For administration, you have Group Policy, Active Directory, SAM, and various other things to read up on. Like others have said you can do everything in PowerShell but commands are super verbose. Microsoft does keep thorough documentation on it at least.
In terms of helping people with issues, you have the Windows Registry (kind of like dconf for GNOME), Backup Restore, Updates (most IT spend most of the time after fixing not working stuff, is convincing people to update their computers). If you can think on your feet, you'll be able to solve 90% of most workers' issues with some digging even if you didn't know Windows more than your average computer guy.
In terms of app development, tweaking and troubleshooting, there are a myriad of frameworks, like MFC, .NET, Electron, Microsoft Access databases somehow turned into a vital business application, etc.
Most app developers learn one of the various systems, then end up sticking with it causing Microsoft to support a hodge podge of 20+ year old native frameworks, while others import whatever newfangled crossplatform wrapper of the day is popular. So good luck if learning this is your goal.
"The lack of a criminal record does not indicate they pose a limited threat," according to Cerna's declaration. "The lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose. It demonstrates that they are terrorists with regard to whom we lack a complete profile."
The AI will have an easy job 'filling in the missing details' for the government.
Well, I do remember being worried about whether I could ever be within 2 metres of anyone else ever again...
That said, I have learned really that it takes an event that kills millions spread all over the world at essentially the same time for people and our legislatures to act. I thought nothing would ever get us to do anything seriously about the climate crisis but when we all stayed home for a bit we actually managed to reverse the upward trend in emissions for a time.
While I'm not sure how you came to all the conclusions you did, your advice for the next person who might try to get in contact with the next person at CECOT is sound.
Every single photo and video from CECOT is staged. We already get a sense of what it is like in the actual prison from stories, photos, even the staged videos. It's a concentration camp, and maybe even a death camp, it's no hotel and these photos aren't fooling people on that.
The fact... says he met with Garcia and Garcia is alive is proof
Doubters would be asking for real proof left, right, and center rather than second-hand.
These pictures don't prove anything, Garcia could be dead in those pictures and they could have taken him to a goddamn taxidermist and posed him.
I don't know what you would want from the Senator. If he was talking to a stuffed corpse, once he leaves El Salvador, there's nothing stopping Sen. Van Hollen to say so or at least tell his wife in confidence.
245% tariff, 345% tariff, 1200% tariff, it's pretty much meaningless at this point. There's no message sent by hiking it more other than you learned a higher number.
There were likely a few preplanned and staged pictures the Senator was allowed to take of Abrego Garcia at all. The Senator wanted to prove that he was alive.
We're essentially at the point where the Israeli government could justify the Holocaust as long as the Nazis said "Hamas officers hiding among them" before killing people. The genocide is not only cruel but a callous waste of life, hope and talent.
I'm not an admin, so I can't stop you from doing that. I'm not sure why you're asking for my permission.
