The wording of the article here, 'can't rely on beliefs' is doing a lot of work, first it frames legitimate concerns about climate change as 'beliefs', and second of all it implies that people are somehow dodging criminal damage charges based on their subjective feelings, which isn't what's happening at all. Instead, the UK government is stripping away a layer of legal protection for protestors which was established in the Criminal Damage Act of 1971 (for more info google 'the consent defence').
The UK has been drifting into authoritarianism for a long time, but in the last few years, the repeated attacks on people's right to protest have become far more transparent. There is a high-ranking UK judge called Silas Reid who became famous for forbidding mentions of climate change in his courtroom, and recently threatened a jury with prosecution if they acquit a group of climate protestors.
It's sad to see newspapers spin this into such neutral language. This is a brazen assault on human rights.
this is why i haven't taken my kid to get his supposed 'broken leg' fixed. sorry kiddo but i have thoroughly inspected it and determined that the bone angles are within tolerance
in my opinion this is very straightforward. the people working directly on power, water and materials don't have any control over how those things are used and often don't/can't know what they're being used for. however, at some point, a decision is made - for example, someone at the company that makes the steel alloy decides to sell it to raytheon - and so whoever made that decision is responsible.
and yes, if you work on a weapon safety system, you are working on an essential part of that weapon and so are responsible for its use
i mean, i probably wouldn't resent you for mopping the floors at BAE. but if you actually design or build the missiles, yes, that is unethical
a lot of people are using the example of ukraine to say 'sometimes the missiles are for the greater good', and while i would agree with that specific example, you don't have control over where your missiles go. russian tank, yemeni refugee, etc
i also think saying 'the parts will be made anyway' is kind of a dodge, the question isn't whether the parts will be made, it's whether you will make them
as nin albums became less driven by chunky 80s synthesisers and more driven by guitars, they got worse. however, the quake soundtrack and ghosts I-IV are excellent, in my opinion.
I think I'm a bit of a dinosaur, but I've been making all of my notes in Zim for over 10 years. It's not much to look at but I find the hierarchical wiki structure easy to navigate, and most of the functionality (todo lists, equations, version control integration, etc) is implemented by simple plugins.
in my opinion, a lot of these programs are too complicated - I tried Joplin for a while but I ended up spending more time organising my notes than I did making them.
the same organisation makes both, they just release a subset of their work as the open source version of WordPress. it's a pretty standard business model for this kind of software
The geoblocking is in place to prevent people from buying keys in one (cheap) region and activating them in another (more expensive) one. It's about both, you dolt.
Hopefully I'm not too late to say this: I would strongly caution against buying a Fairphone. My mum got a new Fairphone 3 in early 2021. Earlier this year, just after the phone went out of warranty, the USB-C port stopped working. The replacement bottom module was out of stock, it's been out of stock for months, and the forums are full of people complaining that it's been mostly out of stock since 2021. Fairphone claimed that they would have stock back by the end of August, and as of today, that is not true. This phone was supposed to have spare parts available through to 2025.
