It would obviously be the government of the country of origin.

Starlink was designed, built, and deployed from the United States, by SpaceX (a US company) which is owned by Elon Musk (a US citizen), and launched from US soil. Obviously all that junk and and people are subject to US governance, so when I say this specific stuff should be seized by eminent domain, I mean seized by the US Government.

Other junk in other countries built by other people of similar magnitude and ability to interfere with global conflicts would be subjected to those other governments. I wouldn't expect the US Government to seize, under eminent domain, foreign owned stuff in other countries.

Any system capable of manipulating the outcomes of international conflict needs to become property of the government via eminent domain...especially if that system is used...especially if used by an entrepreneur operating without oversight.

One big problem is that it makes enforcement of real abuse impossible. If there is an explosion of that kind of ai generated content and it gets good enough to be confused for the real thing, then real abuse will slip under the radar. It would be impossible to sift through all that content trying to differentiate between ai generated and real if ai generated were ever allowed.

Well, to keep up the analogy, it wouldn't be the gun manufacturers advertising that...that's more the realm of the ammunition manufacturers. For a given gun, some ammunition is designed to be lethal, and some ammunition is designed to be non-lethal.

Because it sets a precedent that has ludicrous outcomes where the manufacturers of any product that are used for wrong are liable for the damages caused by their use and suddenly nobody wants to manufacture screwdrivers any more. PC manufacturers are now responsible for the actions of hackers and so no more pc manufacturing, auto manufacturers are now responsible for vehicular homocides so no more auto manufacturers, etc, etc.

Rewritten with synonyms that are more understandable:

Peter Piper selected a 2-gallon quantity of pickled peppers.

...probably at the market. The peppers were already harvested and pickled.

Don't forget that chrome is also censoring saved bookmarks and purging bookmarks to URLs that are on their naughty list - right now that's mostly piracy related things, but the precedence is set.

From the article:

Over 400,000 Russians arrived in Phuket between January and July this year

Wow! Almost half a million. The native population of Phuket is only 140,000.

Are they political activists, pacifists, or just cowards? Probably some from each category, but I'd wager most of them aren't actual political activists protesting the actions of their government.

Your entire argument hinges on whether the organization had a role to play

Well, let's be real here. It's the prosecution's argument. And they obviously believe the organization played a role or they wouldn't have named those individuals in the indictment.

After reading through it, it does appear that the prosecution believes that senior individuals inside the organization were promoting the illegal behavior without actually getting their hands dirty.

RICO is intended to prosecute wealthy and powerful puppeteers who hide behind their disposable pawns to do their dirty work. If this case was only about lawful protest, you have a reasonable argument, but it wasn't, and you don't. The fact that they broke laws and harmed innocent bystanders and took action that could have harmed more is OK for you because they did it in the name of a cause you happen to support. Call me whatever you want, you aren't going to be able to justify the coordinated misdeeds when it infringes on the rights of the innocent.

They created booby traps on public property and took at least one completely innocent nonrealted person hostage at gunpoint. Get the fiuck out of here with "egregious abuse of power". Right to protest doesn't give you a blank check to maim other people or hold them at gunpoint and it doesn't threaten democracy to indict them for that.

loosely organized

Did you even read the indictment?

They were organized enough to form a 503c charity and then funnel money in and out of it, track expenses and receipts, and perform reimbursements for supplies for conducting what amounts to traditional terrorism. They also established both on-grid and off-grid communication networks to organize and strategize. They also created and internally published their own educational materials to indoctrinate new recruits to the inner core of the cause.

You and I have very different definitions for "loosely".

Are you considered a dependent minor in whatever country you are in, and living in your parent's house?

If so, then I don't think you have a legal reasonable expectation of privacy.

You might get away with a physical barricade (like a door jam, or one of those anti-break-in bars - if your door opens inward), but your mom could escalate and just have the entire door removed if she wanted to and felt it was important enough.

and what I read was that it can cause feelings of suffocation

That is contrary to everything I have found (including veterinary use for euthanasia).

I hope you don't expect lemmy users to be more tolerant of such an obviously clickbait title and community rule breaking.

It's notepad for the insane people who need to see their text in comic sans.

I'd be happy if we could just cease having the exact same post show up 2 to 5 times in a single community. I'm seeing the same article linking to the same URL showing up in news, for example, today, 2 days ago, 4 days ago, and 6 days ago.

As far as seeing the dupe across different communities, if you are subscribed to the same community on different instances, then I'd recommend picking one and unsubscribing from the rest. The only way a single community can become the most popular across all the instances is if people leave those other communities and settle on a champion.

Any movie by M. Night Shyamalan.

Because nitrogen is already the dominant gas in breathable air. Because it is plentiful and readily available. Because lungs don't detect it as anything different than regular air. It has no side effects and no toxicity. It isn't the nitrogen that kills, it's the lack of oxygen. What humans detect when suffocating is excess carbon dioxide, so as long as that'a removed from the nitrogen enviroment, people will just blissfully slip into unconsciousness and then experience brain death from oxygen deprivation - while in a euphoric state the entire time it happens.

The article title is sensationalist clickbait at best, and outright disinformation at worst.
