Slow down. I merely clarified the matter being discussed. You might have a clear opinion on that matter, but that doesn’t change the fact that this is a dilemma without a simple answer.

Also note that the US was attacked and got directly involved in the war mere months after the lend-lease act was signed. That is what NATO is trying to avoid. The difference is that the Nazis did not have nukes and were already fighting a two-front war, so they had little power or incentive to escalate.

That analogy is faulty. It’s undisputed that Ukraine can use its own arms. The question is about whether they can use the other arms given to them by NATO countries for there purposes.

Why do you keep posting articles from CIA-funded outlets?

“Safe” being defined in a user-hostile manier, i.e. with unmodified Google components and not rooted.

“Google-controlled” would be a better word.

“I dropped my fair share of hard Rs back then”

Such is the fate of hypercentralized spaces. The fediverse fixes this.

Would there be any evidence that could satisfy you, or are you just looking for a reason to dismiss this?

I don’t see how this is so difficult. Given the choice between a narcissistic billionaire or an independent, accountable government commission that’s bound by the rule of law, I’ll choose the latter every time.

Wat ik me kan voorstellen is dat als je “enkel” een huis erft dat je dan opgezadeld wordt met belasting die je niet kunt betalen tot je het huis hebt verkocht;

Daar zijn al regels voor. De termijn voor het doen van aangifte voor erfbelasting is ten eerste erg ruim (8 maanden). Daarbovenop kun je nog uitstel krijgen (4 maanden standaard, of zelfs meer dan een jaar als je een woning erft).

They are not above the law, because these is no law in the US that regulates how social media platforms should be moderated. This is new territory. The EU only recently passed the Digital Services Act that broadly deals with this topic.

With this approach you would lose the subvolume structure and deduplication if I’m not mistaken.

Protesting IS exactly that. Keep licking that boot.

Obviously acquiring publicly available data is legal

Under the EU GDPR it is often not legal. Controllers need a legal basis, which only exists if there is an appropriate relationship between the controller and the data subject.

If you genuinely don’t see that as a problem, I’m concerned for the safety of women around you.

Deliberately taking the most negative misinterpretation of what was said. It almost feels like Reddit again.

No, they’re just piles of general waste. You know, the same stuff we throw in rivers or elect as president.

No, you got downvoted because you were insulting and incorrect.

There are enough mundane explanations for why a satellite can, in fact, burst into 100 pieces.

Law is more complicated than quoting bits of text that you like. You actually have to consider other texts (the fourteenth amendment made the bill of rights applicable to states) and case law (Everson v. Board of education confirms that states and school districts can’t support specific religious activities).

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
