You literally made up an argument no one made in this thread.

The fact of the matter is that it is unwise to have both secure and insecure messaging side-by-side. Depending on where you live, this could translate to a simple mistake resulting in imprisonment or worse. It's very important that a "secure messaging app" only allow secure messaging.

You, like myself, probably live in an area where accidentally sending a message critical of the government over an insecure message would not have any tangible consequences, so perhaps you're weighing the convenience as more important due to lack of perspective.

I think the link blog post author's point isn't that there can't be interoperability, only that there's no standard for that. You have to seek out each implementation and ensure that your implementation interoperates with theirs, on a case by case basis for every implementation.

I am concerned that the location of the trial guarantees a mistrial.

I loved the game, myself, but I don't often recommend it to people because of all the controversy around the creators of the game being fired and no longer having any control over the game.

However, there was recently an UpIsNotJump video reviewing (I guess?) the game and it goes above and beyond. I've used his videos to convince people to try out games before-- maybe it would help you convince your friends to give it another try.

A federal government being willing to enforce the law Reconstruction style and send in federal troops to effect the arrest of these traitors and the unconditional surrender of their government. Anything less is just giving the anti-democratic forces time to get stronger and chip away at more of our society.

At first I was writing a comment to say the Posse Comitatus Act wouldn't allow this, but it seems like the Insurrection Act of 1807 is an exception, and would apply in this instance.

Specifically:

10 U.S. Code § 253 - Interference with State and Federal law

The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it—

(1)so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or
(2)opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.

In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.

Edit: I feel compelled to point out that we're not here yet, because the SCOTUS order has a review process for the new voting maps, and if a judge rejects them, the judge can authorize a third party to draw the maps for Alabama. If the Alabama government rejects those third-party maps, then shit gets real.

I am really digging Strange New Worlds. It feels like Star Trek to me. (As opposed to Discovery, which-- well, let's just say I'm not a fan haha.)

Raised by Wolves was pretty bizarre. I loved the first season, up until the weird flying worm thing, and second season just seemed off-the-rails batshit insane. haha

I was definitely intending to watch season 3, though I didn't really understand what was going on. I'm not completely surprised it was canceled.

He's probably laughing his ass off at this form of "protest". It's functionally equivalent to when people get mad at a company so they buy their product and destroy it on social media.

Think about what Spez wants, and do the opposite.

I feel like Spez doesn't give two tiny rat shits about anything but the fact that this counts as more engagement, which he can leverage to call Reddit more valuable.

It should be one giant fediverse ad.

I'm pretty far away from an expert, but I'm pretty sure your example isn't a "real" sentence. It implies the subject and the verb. (I, like).

[–] effingjoe@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

A sentence needs a subject and a verb, if I remember grade school. Fun fact: "I'm." is a sentence. There can be an implied "You" in there. Like "[You] Stop!" or "[You] Go!"

Sorry, I didn't mean to give the impression that I thought all actors were the mega-rich ones; only that if acting pays so little, it's the second job, if you ask me.
