Well with shoplifting, aren’t the penalties correlated with the value of the items stolen?

And if you then went on to do it again the next day, and got cought, I imagine the combined value of the stolen items would be considered in the case.

No shit…

It was obvious while it was happening. At the same time the US was electing Trump and a far right nationalist was gaining popularity in France. You weren’t connecting the dots?

Sounds like a charmer…

No?

I think you’re right about that. Apple’s policies around user privacy and security from authorities are generally pretty good, certainly better than average for tech companies.

And… Apple has kind of always been monopolistic, and that hasn’t changed a bit.

Then they should definitely all be Steve Apple.

What’s really crazy is that apple had this obnoxious attitude that “they know what users really want”, the users would disagree, they’d complain loudly, then they’d use the software and say “damn… Apple was right, this is better.”

But… That was all before 2010. I can’t think of a single software innovation the company has had since then. Apple used to deliver overpriced, outdated hardware and they only managed to sell it by packaging it with the slickest OS on the market. These days the situation is reversed, Apple is developing their own silicon, they have some of the fastest consumer chips around, and they need it, because their software is nothing to write home about and their prices are still high.

So, is there any way to do a global account ban or ip ban on Lemmy? I’m not actually clear on what the platform’s capabilities are like, or what that would require.

Honestly, since ICE agents don’t provide any kind of id when asked, we shouldn’t refer to them as ICE agents, because that’s really unconfirmed. It would be more appropriate to say “masked man dressed as ICE agent”, because we can’t actually know that they’re an official rather than a criminal in a costume. And obviously, the correct and rational response to being assaulted or harassed by someone in a mask is to treat them like a criminal, and defend yourself appropriately.

Ok, well at least they put the comma in the right place. But I definitely read that wrong the first time anyway.

"But how could it feed from a brown dwarf that far away?

…

Oh, I see."

No, he was saying that the remarks didn’t just dig at Trump.

He was saying, sure, they made a joke about Trump, but their comments also had more meaningful sentiments as well.

Can they not try him for multiple counts of animal abuse? In the US, for some crimes, you’d stack the charges, a sentence might be for 3 years, but with 4 counts of the crime you’d be looking at more like 12.

You’d be surprised. In some countries, especially in Africa and South America, people have a pretty different take on how to choose a name.

Trevor Noah talks about it in a chapter of his book “Born a Crime”, as a teen he had a good friend named Hitler, had no idea there was anything weird about the name.

Long story short, that’s probably his given name.

That’s the real issue, the main reason I didn’t have an electric car is that I basically never buy new cars, and the used car market is really still growing for electric vehicles.

Oh hell yeah! That’s classes it up a bunch!

I can’t wait for XBox Live: The Movie!

You got it, the second one.

Happened a few times.

Uh… What? That’s the part that just doesn’t compute for me…

Haha, you might want to move that last sentence to the top. I think people are rage replying before they get to the end. (I nearly did)

Oh my God, a developer that created a Photoshop clone in a week, that would be amazing! Of course I’d credit them, but I’d also credit the CEO of a company that was doing that. I mean, how many companies are going that?
