Unless you go in and specifically turn them off they are on by default in some email systems like Google’s (and I think Microsoft’s).
Never ever ever rely on the oppressor or the network/platform of the oppressor to get information to the oppressed.
Found Sweeney’s Lemmy account! /s
They removed native Linux ports from games and updated others so they would no longer work on Linux or in proton. They made it this way.
Except that I don’t think we should be executing people at all. I don’t know if better is the right word. Especially since the people ordering the execution aren’t the ones carrying it out.
When you fire a weapon with a blank there’s less kickback (to the point where you’d notice the difference in recoil based on what you braced for vs what you got). At least, on all the weapons I trained on. Could depend on the weapon I guess though.
I didn’t mean to say it wasn’t a thing, just that given what I have experienced I feel like you’d know if you’d shot a blank or not. It might psychologically make pulling the trigger easier but I don’t think it changes the end result.
In my experience, firing a blank doesn’t feel like firing a live bullet.
Historically that’s also why we moved away from execution methods like hangings.
We kind of distilled down a way to remove people from the equation as much as possible to both I guess spread responsibility (making a large group of people have a hand in the execution to the point where no one person is singularly responsible), but also we seem to have gone out of our way to automate a lot of what goes into an execution to sterilize it of guilt as much as possible. This is at least part of why I don’t believe in it.
I feel that execution is vengeance based. It’s not about making the person pay for their crimes (because very often prison is a worse experience than death).
Justice is about repaying a debt to society and being rehabilitated. If rehabilitation is off the table then the next best thing is to incarcerate a person so they can’t be a threat to themselves or others.
The US is terrible at both somehow and I don’t like or believe in our justice system but for a bar that was already in the basement we sure did find an elevator headed down didn’t we.
That doesn’t take into consideration the damage it does to you as an individual when you have to be part of a firing squad. Part of the reason they fell out of fashion was because of the psychological effects on the people carrying them out.
That’s not even to mention the fact that they can be botched (just like lethal injection), and I don’t believe that being shot several times is humane in any way.
Hope you still have to pay out on all the lawsuits against you for lying to customers and the fines from governments for lying about the product you were selling and how unsafe it was, Tesla.
I already don’t believe in the death penalty, but this shit is absolutely wild to me. Why are we using a firing squad in 2026? Who the hell decided to bring that back?
Where would she have gotten the idea that the chat was impossible to read? I’m asking an honest question here, this isn’t a gotcha.
Can I just ask, if you were trying to defend her in court (I am assuming you aren’t a lawyer, but that you have an argument for why what she did shouldn’t be considered a criminal offense under this law) what defense would you mount for her?
The items that I own from them are fine. I don’t really buy into all the like… Home improvement side of their business stuff. No vacuums, power you whole house power supplies, speakers, ear buds, etc. I’m probably missing a lot of the picture as far as their brand enshittification is concerned.
Nah. I don’t need to know that when I can make my own inferences about where they got this information from.
I have a tile bathroom. Hanging stuff in there is a nightmare. I also have used those adhesive strips to mount things to the back of my TV and to my toolbox.
My brother loses/breaks chargers like it’s going out of style so I buy him on every few months.
The lack of information there is kind of weird given how old the account is. I was expecting a lot of stuff and got basically nil. Granted it’s not like I use the account much, but I’ve had it since college when you could buy used books there.
Hilariously I apparently am big into adheasivly mounting things and also buying batteries. Nothing about my buttocks, sadly.
Oh. And I prefer Anker chargers.
Look at this another way. People intend to do one thing and do something else entirely all the time. They’re fallible. They make mistakes. The fact that it is a mistake doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences. The law is poorly written (the transmission part in particular should involve knowingly transmitting that threat where a human could be expected to read it) but she did pretty much exactly what the law says is illegal (assuming that the evidence against her is credible which would need to be investigated and proven).
If you have a written diary and you happen to have the cleaner find it and read it and they report you to the proper authorities for it, your intent wasn’t to have it read, but the actuality is that it happened.
A threat you mumble to yourself out loud under your breath is heard without your knowledge? It’s still a threat and can be reported as such. You can still be prosecuted for it.
