  • The authors argue:

    • Nitrogen execution forces prisoners to participate in their own death, which they consider cruel
    • Delivery by mask is unproven and could lead to problems (like CO2 buildup).
    • the protocol is heavily redacted and many other executions have been botched before, which does not inspire confidence.
    • a lack of oxygen can lead to convulsions, which can prolong the execution if the airways are affected
    • in case of a failed execution the prisoner is entitled to medical help. This could be difficult or even dangerous to administer in an environment of little to no oxygen
    • mice did show a fear response when executed with nitrogen

    While I do agree with those points and oppose lethal punishment myself, I would not expect the arguments to make a big legal difference. All of them do apply to other execution methods as well, and usually much worse. Personally, I would prefer a death by nitrogen to any other method on offer, if there is to be an execution.

  • I would have been happy to pay to get API access for 3rd party apps on my account. Maybe 1 or 2 dollars per account and month would have been reasonable to cover the costs without ad revenue. Double it to please greedy shareholders.

    Instead they asked for such ludicrous amounts from 3rd party developers, basically telling them to fuck off.

    Either they were mad for control or got greedy over their „golden data“ for AI training. Or both. In any case, they never were interested in finding a user friendly solution so fuck them.
