LufyCZ ,

Your bones are broken then, because that’s just straight up not how it works.

Trump was fined because it was a civil trial that he lost. In this instance. His criminal trials are ongoing.

SBF is getting locked up because it was a criminal trial that he lost.

LufyCZ ,

A bunch of text, all of it unrelated to the question.

Trump lost a civil trial, SBF lost a criminal trial.

You can’t be sent to jail for breaking civil laws.

LufyCZ ,

Your comment proves you don’t understand what’s happening. At all.

Trump defamed someone. That’s a civil issue. He was put on trial. On a civil trial. Because it’s a civil issue. He lost. He got fined. Not sent to jail. Because it’s a civil trial.

LufyCZ ,

Oh yeah, we’re talking about the New York Trump corp trial :)

In that case, here’s a nice explanation why a criminal trial wouldn’t make sense and why a civil one is much better for everyone

LufyCZ ,

My bad, of course, not sure why the defamation trial was still in my head.

SBF engaged in things like securities fraud as well, which is harder to spin into a civil thing I guess.

My bet on why they decided to go the civil route is that Trump has the money to make things right (if he will that’s another thing), and SBF has nothing.

So they’ve just decided to go the “better for everybody” route, since, well, it’s better for everybody.

LufyCZ ,

Going by that logic, hasn’t Trump defrauded big banks rich people have huge amounts of assets in?

LufyCZ ,

Poor chap, imagine training your whole life just to be shot down by a friendly.

Nice shot though.

How responsive is your Nextcloud?

My Nextcloud has always been sluggish — navigating and interacting isn’t snappy/responsive, changing between apps is very slow, loading tasks is horrible, etc. I’m curious what the experience is like for other people. I’d also be curious to know how you have your Nextcloud set up (install method, server hardware, any...

Not in this context. Bare metal means all packages and services installed and running directly on the host, not through docker/lxc/vms

LufyCZ ,

Have you read my comment? It’s about where the packages and services are installed.

In this case, they’re installed in the container, not on the host

LufyCZ ,

It’s just what it means in this specific context.

They’re not running directly on the host, with directly meaning directly.

If you go by definition, I agree with you, but the definition is not always the thing to go off of.

LufyCZ ,

Words evolve, and sometimes, they gain new meanings. “Bare metal” is not a scientific terms, and so it can be bent depending on the context.

You can either accept that or not, it doesn’t change the fact that that’s what it now can mean.

LufyCZ ,

You could actually run an actual legit miner on the thing, but yeah, you’re not getting ahead your electricity usage.

LufyCZ ,

In that case I’m sure they’re enjoying their 60 cents per month

LufyCZ ,

Yeah let’s go scorched earth on one of the most important military contractors.

LufyCZ ,

Of course it’s a choice, it’s a settlement. They could’ve refused and gone to court, where they probably would’ve ended up paying a lot more in fines (and legal fees)

LufyCZ ,

It’s unfortunately not as simple as that, the government has to be really careful upsetting essential companies like defense contractors, as the military just straight up needs them (for new projects but also spare parts, fixes,…).

It’s not a good relationship.

Edit: I definitely don’t disagree with you though, stuff like this just shouldn’t happen.

LufyCZ ,

Thank the lawmakers, the court probably didn’t have a choice

LufyCZ ,

Yes, they interpret what the lawmakers have written. If lawmakers made a law saying minors shouldn’t receive healthcare, that’s what the court should say.

Not taking sides btw, if I was I’d just get mad at the state of US politics

LufyCZ ,

Because laws tell them what to decide. The courts are there to make sure the laws don’t infringe on constitutional rights, on federal laws etc., but they don’t create rules.

LufyCZ ,

Does the constitution say that though?

LufyCZ ,

You’re making massive leaps

LufyCZ ,

Where they constructed a right for healthcare out of the word liberty.

LufyCZ ,

The law on the ban for youth care was challenged in court, the courts decided the law is not against the constitution, and so it can take effect.

LufyCZ ,

Right to healthcare or the right of privacy in healthcare?

LufyCZ ,

Let’s take it from the other side.

Should I have the liberty to not pay taxes? The liberty to dump my garbage into a lake? The liberty to burn a forest down?

You’re flexing words into meanings that suit you, but if they actually were possible to be interpreted this widely, it’d be chaos.

LufyCZ ,

If a court decides to interpret a law some way or another, it’s because the law’s wording allowed for some leeway.

That’s on the lawmakers.

LufyCZ ,

But that’s an opinion, isn’t it? We all don’t have the same opinions, that’s why politics is a thing?

Maybe transcare hurts someone’s feelings, you might not agree with that, but we live in a world where their opinion matters, too, for better (or in this case) for worse.

LufyCZ ,

Not sure how that’s a gotcha, sure, a court, has the same weight either way

LufyCZ ,

“cannot possibly” is your opinion, it’s just not a fact. Look at how hard they’re trying to ban it, it clearly matters a lot to some ppl for some reason

French Senate approves a bill to make abortion a constitutional right (apnews.com)

France’s Senate on Wednesday adopted a bill to enshrine a woman’s right to an abortion in the constitution, clearing a key hurdle for legislation promised by President Emmanuel Macron in response to a rollback in abortion rights in the United States....

LufyCZ ,

But displayport exists, is widely used and is free?

LufyCZ ,

That’s not the point of my comment, the point is that whatever hdmi is, it’s got very healthy competition, so there’s no real reason for anti-trust stuff

LufyCZ ,

Doesn’t mean displayport can’t be used there.

If the tv maker wanted to not pay licensing fees, they could put a displayport on the thing. But they don’t. Their call.

LufyCZ ,

Oh I know, but I do think anti-trust would require an erection of some sort of barrier. Say, if HDMI required that if HDMI is present, displayport cannot be.

Right now, tv makers are complete free to choose.

LufyCZ ,

That’s on the tv manufacturers though, it’s their choice.

LufyCZ ,

I had no idea, thanks for the info

LufyCZ ,

I’m pretty sure that’s kinda exactly what happened though, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just that no one thought to add a logo because engineers don’t care about shit like that (at least a lot of them don’t)

LufyCZ ,

It’s not like that makes the whole thing go away

You Don’t Need to Use Airplane Mode on Airplanes | Airplane mode hasn't been necessary for nearly 20 years, but the myth persists. (gizmodo.com)

You Don’t Need to Use Airplane Mode on Airplanes | Airplane mode hasn’t been necessary for nearly 20 years, but the myth persists.::Airplane mode hasn’t been necessary for nearly 20 years, but the myth persists.

LufyCZ ,

I don’t think even the combined power of all the phones in the plane would be enough to cause interference for anyone

The phone’s modem is not powerful enough, it takes a couple watts at most, which is tiiny compared to what a cell tower can output

LufyCZ ,

Yeah it’s not ironic at all, they won’t be conscripted in Israel

LufyCZ ,

You don’t, but they do. It’s a no brainer for them, which the parent comment expressed quite clearly

LufyCZ ,

Every single post in this comment section is proof people don’t learn.

Corporations never do something on a whim. A drastic change like this studied, in detail, by experts, who determine the possible PR impact, possible revenue increases etc.

Netflix is a great example. Everyone and their mom was saying how they’d lose money during the password sharing crackdown. Yet somehow they had a massive increase in subscriptions that quarter.

LufyCZ ,

Not a lawyer but wouldn’t it then be a federal issue?

It then depends on what the federal courts think about the embryo=child issue.

Maybe the state could still prosecute you for possible state crimes, but dunno

Man who intentionally drove his truck into a Muslim family, killing 4, gets life sentence in Canada (apnews.com)

A man found guilty of using his pickup truck to kill four members of a Muslim family was sentenced Thursday to life in prison as a Canadian judge ruled that the actions of the admitted white nationalist amounted to terrorism....

LufyCZ ,

Damn all the muslims for causing rime rates to go up! ^/s

LufyCZ ,

Going all out in the beginning can backfire, there’s a lot you have to think about. A couple things that come to mind:

  1. You lose leverage, the threat of more sanctions goes away if there’s no way to add more sanctions
  2. There’s a possible threat to American businesses who at least partly benefit from trade with Russia. Gotta think of how it impacts US citizens as well
  3. You don’t want to sanction people who haven’t done anything wrong (yet), since it disincentivises being “good”. Why bother doing the right thing if you’re getting punished regardless?
