There is no defense during a grand jury hearing. The prosecutor and police just get to tell whatever story they want.

n 1985, Sol Wachtler, then the chief justice of New York’s Supreme Court said, “Any good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.”

If they’re unable to get an indictment it’s almost certainly because the accused did nothing wrong. Yet they’re still holding her in jail anyway.

It’s harassment and bullying.

Maybe. But the time for Jon Stewart was 2024. There wasn’t a single person alive in a better position to take down Trump.

They might. It’s political suicide to turn on him one at a time. But they’re not all idiots.

If some of them see an opportunity, they might turn. It just needs to be coordinated and effective. Because if you take that shot, you better not miss.

I wonder why she couldn’t tell the difference. South Park again more on point than expected.

The red states are much more gerrymandered than the blue states. They have less room.

I wonder if people complained about the German defaultism in 1911 or 1936.

You’re running closed source software that has permissions to read your keyboard input to other applications (other than apps running as admin), they can access your files, and and they can communicate over the Internet.

You’re inherently trusting these publishers if you’re gaming on Windows. Who is the publisher of Darkest Dungeon or Deep Rock Galactic or Lethal Company?

If you really want to be secure, you can’t do gaming on the same machine as your security sensitive stuff. It’s not limited to these anti-cheats.

Tell me how any other app uploading your entire documents directory is okay then. “Into the kernel” is largely fear mongering. Other, less trustworthy apps can do plenty of damage, and you don’t seem to care about those.

If you really want to be secure, you can’t do gaming on the same machine as your security sensitive stuff. It’s not limited to these anti-cheats.

These games won’t run on Linux.

They do this to prevent cheaters, and it is effective. Some people who have no problems running any other executable that can do just as much damage believe this load on boot style is too invasive.

I wouldn’t mind this feature dying so I could play on Linux though.

It is nice to have the smoke detector communicate out its status. I sure like to know when my house is on fire, even if I’m not home. And a notification about a battery being low is much nicer than incessant beeping.

None of this replaces the primary local, physical functionality. You don’t depend on technology for the thing to work; it’s just an addition.

Be slightly vague. If your target audience doesn’t get it, then I don’t think they were going to do much anyway.

The issue is less that you’re being objectionable. The issue is that you’re trying to shove other people in front of you (admins) for them to be objectionable.

And it’s not that hard to follow the rules while still making your point.

I hope the military guys getting deployed to US soil are talking about what they’re gonna do when they get illegal orders.

I hope officers are taking the risk to talk to their troops.

And we should all be aware that one of the upcoming steps will be to make the troops afraid and angry. Most likely there will be a false flag attack on the military while they’re standing around doing nothing. Because the best way to provoke the military into actually being violent on US soil (which they’re currently against), is to attack them.

Talk about it without brushing up against laws. Talk about it like you have a brain.

The guy with the huge post talked about it and it’s not objectionable at all.

Lemmy is a free service and admins are just trying to stay clear of trouble. Surely you can understand that.

If the tech issue is real, it’s because they were changing these annotations to basically the same effect, downplaying or deleting these sections of the constitution. (Not currently capitalized.)

Granted, they were going to send in the goons no matter what. Don’t be surprised when ICE is called on to use that ridiculous budget for things like this.

Hold on let me look up what “brown shirts” were.

To be fair, ambushing anyone on the street, out of context, is extremely likely to get a dumber answer than normal.

This would make a good study, actually. Ambush people on the street and quiz them. For the control group, quiz them immediately, on the street. For the experimental group, take them to a more relaxed location, allow them to sit, give them a minute or two to get collected, quiz them and measure the difference from the control group. You can do it with easy, medium, hard questions.

I would almost certainly own a Tesla right now. Instead, I’m really enjoying my Ioniq 6.

Also I get all the self driving features I need without having to pay out the ass for it
