Not a lawyer, but I wonder if there a case to be made with letting a woman get an infection and die due to the fear of commiting a crime by killing the baby. In the end, two people died, but one could have survived.

Strong worded letter again. As long as they still come to work tomorrow, Bezos can use them as he likes.

Except if it’s free software.

I had to rewatch the video to make sure I got an exact image of what swiggity swooty means

Time spend undoing/redoing stuff and delays caused by clients should always be billed, and contracts should address that.

Did you ever stop and think about all the scientific and technical advances made since the invention of personal computers that allow you to send a turd emoji to random strangers?

He’s just seeing what Trump and the GOP are planning for the US and hopes he’ll be one of the oligarchs at the top in the end.

You seem to believe that Trump saying “fake news!” is enough to consider that something is actually fake news. Anyone with a bit of critical thinking can verify this kind of affirmation and decide for themselves whether Trump is right or wrong. There’s a difference between a truth and a belief, but your argument seems to equate the two.

If a judge in Brazil says an account should be banned because it spreads disinformation, I can go and check what was posted and decide if it’s indeed disinformation. Now I might not have time to verify every affirmation like this so I tend to trust the judicial system of any country by default, unless I have reason to believe they can’t be trusted.

Maybe the only way to avoid a large scale long-term climate crisis is to sue the hell out of those responsible.

I think there are a few simple criteria to discriminate between legitimate opponents and others: spreading disinformation, bad faith, populism, the absence of a coherent political discourse, etc. If a government identifies illegitimate opponents based on these criteria, I’m ok with that.

So, what makes you think these accounts were legitimate political opponents?

So the X accounts belonged to legitimate political opponents, they weren’t spreading disinformation?

I don’t know about the judicial system in Brazil but they don’t seem that corrupted…

He doesn’t care, he thinks he’ll get a presidential pardon after Trump gets elected.

(…) you’re a racist AND dumb.

To a large extent you’re racist because you’re dumb.

For the last few months they’ve traded their dog whistles for blow horns. More and more hatred is being normalized.

A steady stream of bullshit, just like before the 2016 election. Trump won, so it’s not surprising they consider this their winning strategy.

Oh you sweet, summer child.

Exactly. In any semi-functional democracy the government isn’t some abstract entity you have no power over, and it’s not monolithic either (you have municipal, regional and national levels). You vote for the people in it and they represent you.

Deadnaming her would be calling her “Chris Cocker” and ignoring her new name. They are just saying what her identity was before she became Cara Cunningham. Makes it easier to understand the story.

The fact that they didn’t even try to hide their ssid (or at least, the report doesn’t say they did) shows how stupid people can be with cybersecurity.

We need a kind of everybody union.

In a democracy, that’s called a government.

Might be the American way, but it’s mainly Europe that will take the heat in an all out war against Russia.

Also, how does it end? Anyone really thinks Putin will surrender after 3-4 missiles hit Moscow? Come on.
