I mean he is a joke. He is a caricature of a bad former president, bad businessman, bad family man, …

Honestly the more I think about it, the more I’m scared of a mistrial.

They only need to have 1 maga hat that slips through voir dire that blocks the deliberation, and if it’s on unanimity the jury would be in a deadlock.

Ok so I’ve looked into various sources, and it looks like the police is concerned for the safety of ppl at the DiEM as well as civilians around it.

Because of that, they prohibited specific inflammatory and incendiary words and language as to prevent the discussion from escalating into violence in Berlin.

Listening to some of the things that were said before they issued the ban, it is clear that some of the speeches were radical or very much pushing the envelope.

Now there is some confusion about where the ban on specific language came from - police refers to the Senate, Senate refers to other parties (and that’s not great), but it’s not as if the police just felt like it or as if there was some shady stuff going on behind the scenes.

I am a German from Berlin, so I am very concerned when I hear stuff like this, and that’s why I had to look it up and dig into it to some degree. I wish the international press did a more thorough job, because if it didn’t take me that long to find a different account, that means they didn’t do their job and I don’t like that.

Yeah it was aight for like 6h and then I kinda had nothing new to see so I gave up. Sad for the developers, but I gotta be realistic, the game was boring.

That’s the best way to tackle it. To use personal stories. Of most of the Democrats come out with stories about abortions, it can’t be denied and Republicans will struggle to deny it.

It was worth more than my initial 70$

What an absolute donkey. Maybe he doesn’t realize, but 70$ can be the difference between a healthy meal every day or not.

There’s games I would pay 60€ for (I can count them on one hand), and I can assure you that the rest is usually worth way less. Ain’t no way I’m leaving an additional tip. What the fuck.

If he likes tipping so much, maybe he can tip the game devs this money directly, considering he likes their game so much. He should start with his own.

We call this vertical integration. Basically looking at any process you can make a table of different services for the process on the y axis and different providers of those services on the x axis.

The more width you get, the better. It means high competition, and that’s healthy for a market now if it looks like a needle vertically, you got a problem. This is when we move closer to Monopoly, where a process can only be down by one chain of services. No competition. This means, that one provider can do what he wants, as people are bound to this provider and have to make do. Cue price increases.

Vertical integration means making your services interoperable to a degree where other providers can’t keep up. If there’s no other providers, there’s no competition. Now you got a monopoly. That is what vertical integration is in it’s final form.

A lot of ppl just pretend that the Supreme Court already made up their mind, but honestly I’m not sure.

No honor among thieves.

Trump is now on the other side of the power imbalance and if they stick to Trump they can’t trust him and might eventually go down with his ship.

There’s a good chance they say “fk it, let’s get rid of him” so they can formerly make it look like they actually wanna be neutral and just stay in power, which in my opinion is the better move rationally (thinking as a psychopath).

So for me, there is a real choice to be made and I will stay invested. Also, the bond issues on his civil trial still stand iirc, so he’s got very slippery pockets and a few vultures are getting acquainted with his situation.

Always easy to say this in hindsight.

IRC is considered unsafe too to a certain degree with pirating folks.

Also let me emphasize this: for every discord server shut down like this, there are 100+ servers with almost the same purpose that still exist and will continue to for at least the next 3y.

If you are doing development as a hobby, you just don’t have the time to use a different system, get used to that system, and then critically convince everyone else to go there too. Just look at Lemmy, I want it to be great as well but we have to accept that a few tiny steps more in the day to say usability of a system can be the difference between Twitter and Mastodon. And before ppl are saying “well Twitter was there longer”, sure but that doesn’t mean we cannot see the trend for growth that does or doesn’t exist.

As is standard procedure. From the trial coverage I have seen (mostly tweets out of the court dates and any filings) I am fairly sure they have no appealable issue, much less argument. In fact, considering the witness tampering and his absolute non-existent remorse, his sentence might be on the lower end of his sentencing range.

Very likely just a waste of time.

Unlike block chain, there is a solid chunk of new use cases to be conquered with AI. These might be very technical in nature, but for example, text suggestions on smartphones might already be done with AI, depending on your OS.

Ppl tend to sugarcoat Linux to new users, so let me make a reality check: gaming is possible on Linux, but in a limited sense, and it might cost time and sanity.

Some games work natively, some need a workaround, some require you to craft your own solution, and some straight up won’t.

The percentages shift, where there’s slightly more games working natively or requiring a basic workaround, but the baseline is the same.

Well that’s dumb. Shouldn’t rescind it over a very nuanced conflict. Imagine trying to be an arbiter for such an old and complex conflict. If the scholar didn’t make clear anti-Semitic remarks, then there’s no real basis. Honestly this might be illegal in Germany.

This is a big step. Finally prioritizing putting things right with Israel is historical. Let’s hope he goes further down that road and looks at sanctions.

No I don’t think so

No need for snark. I genuinely didn’t see this before.

What the fuck

I can give you a mixed answer to this: New York usually doesn’t broadcast trials, BUT: the reason for broadcasting trials publicly is because the public has an interest in transparency, and this trial is the one where this is arguably the strongest. I would say there’s a good chance.

And if not, you can just buy the transcript. Should be fun too. Thinking about it, we could crowdfund it probably…

But it doesn’t.

If you don’t have a deal with the carrier, don’t automatically connect to it. That is so dumb, (and it also smells illegal to some degree) cause in some cases it can happen on accident, and paying for things you specifically don’t want is a really shakey basis in law.

Yeah that one was funny and quirky

I would say the easier explanation might be the right one: they got the formula down, it’s straight forward, and everyone else in advertisement basically does the same, so why bother.
