C has undefined behavior for that.

with obvious political agendas

On the case of Brazil, I think it has economical reasons. Meta sells stuff that compete with the social infrastructure it was trying to destabilize.

I would really like to see some laws against media concentration. It’s not even important who the media is. Instead, we have some laws that are the opposite of that, so if we solve the Meta problem, something else is due to break shortly after.

But hey, it’s entertaining anyway.

The line of “ready to move” drivers behind you will make sure any fire truck stays way back and is unable to show up to the first car closing the street.

Apparently, Meta has just taken part in a huge destabilizing propaganda campaign here in Brazil. The kind that criminal law has punishment for.

It will certainly take a while to gather all evidence and verify it, so I’m saving the popcorn for later. But I just ensured I have enough kernel for a US-sized portion…

The role they play on the court is bad, and shouldn’t exist. A criminal court shouldn’t be “the State against X”, it should be X defending themselves, and the State looking for what really happened. Nobody should be “against X”. The State goes against specific people in kangaroo courts, not real ones.

And yeah, names don’t always matter. But on this case they seem to reflect the reality almost perfectly.

On “District Attorney”, they don’t defend the district on courts. But this one name seems to not matter.

Also, honestly, I don’t know how your rules for confession aren’t constantly questioned on international courts for violating human rights. You can’t just take a defendant’s word that they did it.

Anyway, none of that is “corruption” exactly. It’s a different problem. Don’t expect the remedies that exist for corruption to work with it.

It’s way less innocuous than you think.

But yeah, it’s only the stuff that you’d expect it to send. And only the stuff it needs to send. But the thing is, the valuable data those social networks gather is almost exactly that. They will invade your privacy and get everything they can, but the real value is on that and what you read. (What you read isn’t shared here.)

Lemmy doesn’t have the censorship and speech-control from those platforms, but it pretty much distributes your data widely to anybody that asks for it.

All courts work the same.

They don’t. And the way the US courts work is almost exclusive to them.

Even that “prosecutor” name is bad.

The State is there to find and punish the right people, not to go after a random person they selected.

On most countries, the equivalent to a prosecutor will insist that the police works correctly, and will throw away cases if some evidence appear that the suspect is innocent.

Hum… The first one doesn’t seem designed for that. It’s just an afterthought use China added after it became popular.

And the second one is probably designed for apathy and “productivity enabling”. It will certainly get a redesign now.

Meanwhile, some people seem to not want the apathy and “productivity enabling” apps from the US. Too bad there aren’t many alternatives.

Yeah, that’s probably how they’ll solve it.

Does it spark as much as a Star Trek high-tech panel?

If not, it’s not futuristic enough.

you can obviously change the settings

And pray the settings don’t change further.

Because they will. I have no idea why or when they do that, but those numbers will always corrupt, there was never an alternative.

I wonder if they will extend citizenship to all the new areas they annex.

It is indeed a simple and very smart solution to the problem of illegal immigrants that the guy promised to solve in his campaign. I never expected smart solution from him in particular…

I’m not sure China wants westerns using their internal propaganda app. Mixing the internal and external propaganda quickly leads to absurdities.

I’m divided between saying it’s really great or that it should be a book and the man page should be something else.

Good thing man has search, bad thing a lot of people don’t know about that.

Well, with the added detail that the censorship would only apply to Chinese people. You won’t get a good real-world metaphor.

It’s still quite messed up, and if ml mods dislike the other instances rules that much, they should just defederate them.

The “active” status.

Any project with it set is active, any project with it not set isn’t. And you set them all to active when you create the toggle.

If the users complain, you make them tell you an specific rule that can you can use to auto-change a subset of the projects in a cron job. Expecting anything like this to have a complete objective definition is delusional.

Every time I see a “US eagle” with a speech balloon…

Well, when a bald eagle is depicted on TV, it’s usually “dubbed” by a hawk. I’d recommend anybody to search what those eagles actually sound like, so you can laugh too.

Nah, it’s in the past.

But people, if you are writing a command that detects a terminal to decide to color its output or not, please add some overriding parameters to it.
