an inalienable concept as free speech

Free speech is not an “inalienable” concept. To be honest, the adjective “inalienable” doesn’t well describe a “concept”, more “right” or a “privilege”. Nobody can take away a concept from you, only the exercise or realisation of that concept.

That said, the Lemmy dev’s code of conduct is not a binding document, and given their political views, I wouldn’t even bother opening it if I was adminning my own instance. And nobody owes you your freedom of speech - if an instance decides to enforce the rule “no talking about politics on Wednesdays”, nobody has any right to anything else. Preference, sure, but right? No.

I genuinely scrolled up to double check the post wasn’t about an Oniom article or something. Unreal callousness.

Rent free, it’s incredible. There are plenty of places to shit on the nightmarish US prison system. This thread is for shitting on the nightmarish Chinese prison system.

Waking up to a broken nextcloud (overnight! Look, no hands!) was the single reason I finally got acquainted with docker containers

Very fair. I’ve noticed that google maps really nails the zoom level when you slow down and speed up, to show you the right amoynt of information, whereas Magic Earth doesn’t. I’ll be zoomed in on the motorway at 120 and later zoomed out in a city centre at 30, those two are incompatible.

Magic earth has been good for directions, ime.

Hamas just rejected a ceasefire that would have seen around 800 hostages held by Israel swapped for 40 hostages held by Hamas. Hamas have probably murdered/brutalised their hostages, thus negating their usefulness in swaps of this kind. Fuck Hamas and their leadership’s willingness to hole themselves away in Qatar and prolong the Palestinian suffering. The IDF should clear out and stop bombing every vaguely upright structure. It’s a lost cause, fuck colonising vultures and developerd. The IDF needs to realise you can’t kill and idea amd concentrate on just defending themselves, not trying to eradicate a terrorist group.

Mmmm royal boot.

Kick these benefit cheats out, no more welfare scrounging.

I think she should get NHS treatment. I’m quite sure she’ll be getting cutting-edge private treatment partly paid for by my taxes thay are gifted to her for marrying the right guy.

I’m sure she’s getting the best treatment on our dime, the parasite. I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone.

Bots are a fact of life, unfortunately.

Classic whataboutism.

Fleeing war and poverty… in France?

I guess just war until the Russian colonisers are expelled, putting an end to the imperialist invasion. Stop the expansionary push to exploit weaker, foreign countries. It’s pretty clear-cut.

Great whataboutism, tankie scum. No shit the US does some truly fucked up shit. Nobody realistically thinks their government is a paragon of virtue. Just that the Chinese government does fucked up shit as well. Both can be true, bootlicker.

I’m also interested in that, please

I don’t think that’s what a davit is, tbh. It refers to the shape of the pole itself, but not any type of locking mechanism on whatever type of security is in place on whatever type of access/inspection door has been fitted.

Edit to add: I found good results searching for a Knipex universal key and going from there.

I can’t find helpful/relevant results when I search for davit doors, or even just Davit. Could you give me some other keywords to read up on?

The negative interest rate, for example, is very much not one of “three random things”.

See this 2020 ECB working paper:

“Nevertheless, since a run into CBDC would be easier, it would be recomforting to have as extra tool the ability to impose negative rates on CBDC.” [CBDC = central bank digital currency]

or this 2018 BoE working paper:

“Under this regime any nascent increase in the demand for CBDC can be eliminated by a drop in the interest rate on CBDC. But there are potential limits if this requires a highly negative interest rate, and if further reductions of the interest rate below this level become politically difficult.”

Hopefully the hedging of that language is easy to remove. They talk about thresholds and limits and tiers, but the upshot is, maybe they’re kind enough to grant you a pittance on the first couple thousand, after that it’s zero or negative, because central banks tend to agree that what they DON’T want to create is a store of value, and so they will do anything they can to make you spend your CBDC as soon as you get it. In general, the “economy” does not benefit from you having a nice store of money saved up somewhere. Politicans and bankers want you money moving through their system, that’s how workers are kept desperate/subservient and the élite can continue to skim some cream off the top of each transaction.

We live in a deeply unfair and very carefully rigged system with hostile operators. Do your best to survive them.
