your statement is true however that doesn’t mean that correlation does not imply cause… the cause is fucking obvious to anyone that has more than 2 brain cells to rub together

don’t give him fame. don’t mention his name, don’t post his pic, try not to talk about numbers to turn it into a “high score”. he is anonymous

breakable for the NSA doesn’t mean the police have access

also the current issue is with moderation: telegram is refusing to take down CSAM channels etc

and this is called the slippery slope fallacy and is either a flaw in your logic or a way of arguing in bad faith. either way, it’s just fearmongering. if that’s all you’ve got then i have nothing more to say

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope

you think they’re going to link to still available (that’s the point - they’re still available) sources of CSAM?

if that’s your burden of proof then buddy i’m sorry to say there’s no way anyone’s going to convince you, and that’s not a good thing

we don’t disagree about that: governments don’t like that telegram doesn’t cooperate; that’s not in dispute

where the disagreement comes is the part after. telegram (and indeed meta, google, etc) have that data at their disposal. when served with a legal notice to provide information to authorities or shut down illegal behaviour on their platforms, they comply - sometimes that’s a bad thing if the government is overreaching, but sometimes it’s also a good thing (in the case of CSAM and other serious crimes)

there are plenty of clear cut examples of where telegram should shut down channels - CSAM etc… that’s what this arrest was about; the rest is academic

free speech can be good. free speech can also be bad. overall, it’s more good than bad however society seems to agree that free speech has limits - you can’t defame someone, for example

free speech absolutism is fucking dumb; just like most other absolutist stances

this also isn’t even about free speech - this is about someone having access to information requested by investigators to solve crimes, and then refusing to give that information

also, if it’s the australian marsupial that it looks like… “Wallaby”

But yous get taxed on working abroad 😂😂

not american, but i believe this only applies if you pay less income tax in the country you’re working in than what the US would tax, and given the US income tax is relatively low compared to the rest of the world it rarely actually kicks in

and, it actually kinda makes sense IMO - the US is one of the most global countries in the world: as a US citizen you benefit (???) from the USes extensive international presence (eg if you’re held for ransom in a developing country, or in danger the US state department or military could intervene and probably do the most out of any country) even if you’re not in the country… and all that costs money, so it kinda makes some amount of sense

the “new” hotness is grid layout

performance is basically irrelevant… when you’re a professional software engineer, ease of maintenance - adding new features, bug fixes, keeping bugs out of the code base - is paramount… you can always throw more servers at it, because they’re cheap compared to labour and mistakes

i’d probably go second… it’s useful to have a housing surplus that’s financed by private entities so that you can have a house while working for your first house

but anything more than providing shelter with some small reward to encourage civic responsibility (ie building houses rather than owning stock) is complete idiocy

okay, but the US is kiiiinda terrible, but if the US loses here then china/russia/iran win…

so its not like the US just goes away; the US is replaced by full autocratic

you work with what you’ve got until you have something better… right now, you have a vote between 2 teams… get the fuck over it and vote, and in between work for something better

but right now, in this moment, in november

YOU FUCKING VOTE AGAINST THE MOST FASCIST

i’m am not an american

i live across the other side of the world

we have to live with the consequences of your decisions

we don’t get a choice in the matter

you’re not entirely wrong, but this is the current standard/accepted advice for local development - probably what we’re talking about given this thread is about git commits - because the chance of exploit via this mechanism requires local access… with such access, you’re pretty screwed in far more ways

python makes solid backends - especially ones that deal with things like 3rd party APIs and data munging, which makes it a pretty good choice for a lot of web-based privacy apps like alternative front-ends

in the context of privacy the distinction could be interesting: typescript is a microsoft project; foss as it may be… and that might (or might not) have significance

yes but crimea was occupied by russia in 2014, and they shouldn’t have to give it up - and i don’t think anyone’s asking them to - except obviously russia

i mean that’s still not even… ukraine has a country to rebuild and even stevens would include reparations for both loss of life and rebuilding

a compromise is russia gets the fuck out of ukraine and ukraine begrudgingly accepts that this is better than more war and then starts dealing with the consequences of russias aggression

isn’t ukraine asking for the 2013 borders? i believe “the west” is literally saying it’s up to ukraine to decide and we will support them
