That the US law forbids such acts is a no brainer. But it’s still “Telling the truth”. imho this qualifies him for the nobel peace price rather than incarceration.
He isn’t being pursued for sharing the info but rather in directly committing crimes to get the info.
Debatable. But even if he did, that means he helped uncover the human rights abuses of the US and it’s allies and their unbelievable collateral damage(~60% of deaths in Irak where civilians). Again maybe legally wrong, but ethically it was the right thing to do.
He’s also now a Russian stooge so probably
I don’t know where you get that info from, but if I had messed with the largest military industrial complex on the planet, I’d be looking for friends in other contries aswell. Snowden understadably did the same.
probably deserves nothing other than what the US prison system will give him.
I wouldn’t even want my worst enemy to experience US prisons. They are inhumane and they torture prisoners (extended solitary confinement) on a daily basis as a form of coercion. How could you wish this on anyone?
Only if they think they aren’t stupid themselves. I think everybody, including me, in past and present (and most likely in the future) is stupid.
I mean we’ve got more or less the same brain people in the stone ages had and are trying to solve problems in the microcomputing age. Of course we’re going to make mistakes and most ideas we have about the universe or society are probably wrong. And of course we’ll repeat the mistakes of our ancestors.
So I don’t think thinking of someone as stupid is bad, just assuming you’re less stupid is.
Sorry I get equally worked up over the assumption that people aren’t stupid.
Yes I’d say so. I get where you’re coming from but I don’t think it’s an excuse not to make decisions. Quite the opposite in fact.
I think of it like this: if you think you’re smart, you expect to make best choice for every decision. So in tough situations, where there is no “right” choice, you beat yourself up about not doing better. If you accept you’re stupid, you’re willing to settle for the least wrong and accept failiure.
The same goes for interacting with others. Don’t expect others to make the best choice, as they’re stupid too, so you might find a better solution. But if you did not find one and they didn’t, well, they’re stupid, so of course they did not. Can’t blame them really.
I’m no native speaker so perhaps stupid and smart are the wrong words in this context. Perhaps fallible and infallible are better suited.
They also feel they are less slippery when it rains and allow rainwater to seep into the ground directly rather than direkt it to the sewers. This unburdens the sewer system and the humitity in the ground helps cool cities.
What helped me minimize my reinstalls was enabling ssh on my PC. If my UI goes pear shaped I can go through the logs on my phone or my laptop. I can also recommend COW-filesystems liks btrfs or zfs for snapshots and rollbacks.
That depends on the distribution. In archlinux the server is disabled by default. If I remember correctly some distributions distinguished between the client and the service package, which arch doesn’t, so it could be standart to enable it if you install the server.
Also usually I can access the tty but sometimes a reinstall is easier than figuring out how to fix it.
Yes, true and most of the times it’s quicker to reinstall. It’s especially annoying if you haven’t used your system in a while and have no idea what you did last.
Always a pleasure to help :) Yeah took me a while to get it right to, but fortunately there are many guides to secure it properly.
ssh is so amazing. With X11 forwarding you can start graphical apps aswell, so via ssh you can run everything you would on your host but via lan or the internet. I used it to edit documents directly in libreoffice on my host and I have an app on my smartphone wich emulates a mouse.
For older models(Pi<4), no but kinda: Afaik oder models could only boot from SD-cards. But that only means the bootloader has to be on the SD-card. So you can copy everything but the bootpartition and change the entry in the /etc/fstab to the new root on the SSD.
I just did some more research and aparently my intel was a bit outdatet (from arount 2020). The guide should still work, though booting from SSD should be working by default and does not require any eeprom-updates. So you can probably start with step 4.
If the descentralization of social networks continue, we will have to prepare for the eventual rise of the instances wars, where people will start to fight about which instance is better and which one is weird to be in and so on, but that’s for the future of us all.
Yeah, but honestly i think both are kinda stupid. we should use something sensible like base 16(easy conversion to binary but better readability) or base 12(easily divisible by 2, 3 and 4).
I have yet to experience a breaking change in about 5 years with arch as my daily driver. The only "critical" thing that broke was the ms-teams flatpak app right before a meeting :D The reason was probably the shitty app itself and not arch though.
Hey Lemmy! I have a rather unusual request that requires your creative thinking.

Bonus points if the food also makes me sweat. Let's make this a memorable...
Personally, I prefer Lemmy over Kbin because I hate karma and reputation points. I do not want to worry about downvotes, and Lemmy feels so fresh. I can post things that will receive lots of downvotes and not need to worry about losing karma.
But it influences the community itself, doesn't it? If you have a bunch of parrots saying what they think others want to hear suddenly you have a lot less real interactions and way more "reddit moments"... I like how mastodon did it and maybe lemmy should also provide the option to hide likes/dislikes alltogether.

If Lemmy and Mastodon continues to get popular, we will eventually get Instance wars.
If the descentralization of social networks continue, we will have to prepare for the eventual rise of the instances wars, where people will start to fight about which instance is better and which one is weird to be in and so on, but that’s for the future of us all.
Why do we use base 60 for time and base 10 for everything else. Why has no one decided to integrate it.
Thought of this in the shower this morning, if anyone has an answer I'd be very interested!
