Its range is also only 180 miles. The smaller battery definitely helps keep the cost down.

This car might not be for me but I definitely see its value and hope they’re successful.

I see three possible reasons:

• He’s dead

• El Salvador and the US don’t want anyone to speak about what’s going on in the prison

• Trump wants to use this as a test. If he can get away with this, he can get away with sending most anyone.

Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

Yes.

But they didn’t say they can’t get him back. They said they won’t get him back. The Trump administration argues that the courts cannot order them to bring him back to the US as he is not on US land.

My personal guess is that he’s already dead. They put him in a prison with the same people who wanted to murder him.

That’s not even recent. Russia has been astroturfing Reddit since at least 2015.

I remember reading /r/politics pretty often back then. All of a sudden, half the posts were from RT talking about Hillary and the DNC. Yes, what they did to Bernie was bullshit but the point was clearly to either get people to vote for Trump instead or to encourage people not to vote.

Now, like you said, it’s about the war. All of a sudden, every single post about the invasion has dozens of people who are totes Ukrainian and think that Zelenskyy is a monster who refuses to end the war. Yet they either have a rather bare post/comment history or never mentioned the war before.

And, if you go to the profile for any user who identified themselves as Ukrainian years ago, it’s crazy but they’re still in favor of the war and protecting Ukraine.

This is what propaganda is. It’s not just the government putting up posters saying you should listen to them; it’s convincing you that your views are extreme and unpopular.

Haven’t gotten banned yet but it’s definitely gotten to the point on Reddit where you are aware that you can’t discuss some topics.

Like mentioning Luigi could get you shadow-banned. Redditors acted like they were going to stand up against this and yet there’s nothing. So the censorship is working - either all the comments are getting removed or people are too afraid to talk about it.

I’d argue Lemmy and other decentralized platforms are the last bastion for free speech instead of Reddit though.

Lemmy is kind of forced to be, too.

Horrific speech can be removed from the site. But if you want to see it, the admin logs are open to the public. Other instances also aren’t forced to play along with the views of one instance. And each instance can choose whether they want to connect with others.

So you could create your own Christian Nationalist and White Supremacist Lemmy. But our instances don’t have to federate with it. And if they choose to do so, we can leave for a different one or the users can block it entirely.

Lemmy lets anyone have a platform and, simultaneously, it doesn’t force anyone to listen to you just because you have your own platform. Basically, everything that makes Lemmy a decentralized platform also makes it good for moderation without harming free speech.

There was that peak time back in the 2010s. Right after they got rid of all the worst hate communities but before they were taken over by astroturfing.

Maybe like 2014-2015ish?

I mean, Washington wanted 2 terms to be the norm.

He didn’t, that’s just a whitewashed version we tell ourselves.

He just didn’t want the President to be viewed as a monarch or a lifetime appointment. He turned down a third term because he feared he would die in office and the public would believe that’s the norm.

It’s not a guarantee, though, but it should be. If you serve for, say, 5 years and have not been dishonorably discharged, you should be automatically eligible for citizenship.

As of now, serving only exempts you from the continuous residence and physical presence requirements. You still need to be a permanent resident, know English, understand the US government and history, and demonstrate “good moral character” for at least a year out of the military.

Permanent residency shouldn’t be mandated for soldiers. They’re choosing to serve for the US - isn’t that enough? The English and US government/history requirement should be waived under the assumption that they understand all of those well enough after training and serving in the military. Good moral character really is just that you haven’t committed any serious crime which is fine.

I quit a long time ago without even meaning to.

There was just less and less content to keep me interested while more ads and “recommendations” kept taking their place. At some point I was just forcing myself to open the app each day and just stopped.

If an app, website, or game won’t respect my time, why should I give it any?

WebRTC could be used to provide peer-to-peer streaming. The load on the servers would be very minimal since the feeds would be sent directly from the host to the viewers. A lot of live streaming and video conferencing apps already use it to keep their hosting costs down.

The downside is that the IP address of the viewers will be exposed, even over a VPN unless precautions are taken by the user or the application.
