Well the US made a sovereign country president plane land with a threat they will shoot it down then grabbed out the president of a sovereign country from his plane and searched the plane for Snowden. There are probably 3 countries in the world the US wouldn’t do this to: China, Russia and Israel. So no, Snowden didn’t have much choice.
You are delusional if you think that elections are not just a horse race for the rich and that common people have any power. If common people interests were what drives elections you would have had free healthcare, free education, worker right and more like a century ago.
Why does he need suicide watch uniform? Are they planning to Epstein him?
It’s insane even for “less civilised countries”.
You say it like it’s okay to do if you are not fucking massive.
Didn’t you need new laptop for MacOS as well?
And it changed the Internet, for good and a lot.
That monitor looks so sexy.
If I didn’t visit Lemmy, I wouldn’t even know how many people dislike them
“Many” is probably an overstatement. Lemmy echochamber is probably like 1% of ultra-leftwing Americans. Even among their country left wing is a minority. And overall the US is less than 5% of the world population. So for every person hating Musk you will probably find ten thousand who adore him. Just not on Lemmy.
Actually, no. The 22 amendment says that a person can’t be “elected” as President while the 25 amendment says that the Vice President shall become President in case of resignation. No contradiction here. So while Trump can’t be elected anymore he can still become President for unlimited terms.
Can’t someone run for President, name Trump his vice, then resign?
What’s good exchanging one bad service for another bad service? Elon can just buy it.
It’s actually disturbing that Thunderbird is the only good smtp/imap client available and it’s not receiving that much funding.
There’s plenty democracy in the world still. And your election seem pretty democratic if you count modern elections where oligarchs controlled media tells you who to vote for as democratic.
But would those 10 people make other 10 posts when they are overrun by posts unrelated to this community by people who don’t want discussion and just want to vent their anger?
my Lemmy feed has been absolutely FLOODED with US political news for MONTHS
Damn I’m so glad that propaganda flow that for some reason was even allowed in most of Lemmy will stop now.
Well she did have a decent chance judging by results. It’s not like it was a crushing victory.
They weren’t just random Russians, they were working for companies under sanctions.
That’s just false. First, nobody in the maillists claimed those specific people were working for sanctioned companies. Second, at least one of the banned maintainers, when advised to contact their company’s lawyers, said he isn’t working for any company at all, just freelancing and doing free work for the community.
What were they supposed to do? Ignore the sanctions?
Yes. It was(and probably still is) literally written on the Linux Foundation website that the US sanctions do not concern open source community. It goes against everything open source ideology is, that is code and contribution is all that matters.
And what’s worse it raises serious concerns what other malicious actions to the Linux kernel and other projects Linus and LF had to take on demands of the government that likes to install backdoors in software.
Yeah, it’s literally whether the publisher wants to install malware with their games or not.
Talking about steam, steam-powered things are 2 thousand years old at least and we still use the technology when we crack atoms to make energy.
