I mean we're lookingdown on Wayne's basement, onlythat's not Wayne's basement.

  • As I understand it, anarchism is less about eliminating laws and more about eliminating hierarchy. It's bottom-up governance that requires lots of participation from everyone involved. You and your peers can establish laws for your neighborhood/town/etc., but everyone affected by that law needs to directly participate in its writing and there must be broad consensus before it is enacted. Law enforcement must be communal; you cannot outsource it to a police force, lest the police become oppressive.

    When I think of anarchism I sometimes think of colonial New England: small towns that are largely autonomous, where communal decisions are made at town hall meetings and the locals manage themselves. It's not a perfect analogy since there were higher levels of government, but day-to-day governance was very grass-roots.

  • Toasty!

  • https://icelist.is/

    Though I'm having trouble loading the site. Hopefully it's being heavily used by legit users, and not being DDoS'd to prevent access.

  • Meaningless legislative theater. It'll never pass the House. If it did Trump wouldn't sign it. And even if those things magically happened, the scope is too narrow. Congress needs to take back its constitutional war powers that it's ceded to the executive branch long ago.

  • Correct. I was thinking about the presidential chain of succession and didn't mention the Senate. A simple majority in the house is needed to pass articles of impeachment. Then two-thirds of the Senate must vote to convict and remove the president.

  • The Democrats win a majority in the House and appoint a half-decent Speaker, then impeach and remove both Trump and Vance. The Speaker of the House then becomes the President and they can appoint a whole new cabinet.

    If all the Dems can do is remove Trump then we get President Vance, and all the cabinet positions stay the same.

  • As we have seen in the past, impeachment is meaningless if we can't get a proper trial in the Senate. And it would take one hell of an election night for the Dems to get enough seats in the Senate to possibly remove Trump from office.

    As much as I want Trump to face consequences for his actions, I'm not holding my breath.

  • I was referring to the fact that hypothetically one lemmy.world admin could essentially make people disappear.

    Which is what ICE is for.

    Are you seriously comparing being banned from a small social media site, where you could simply create another account in 5 minutes, to being arrested and imprisoned by a government agency?

  • All of it.

  • Would you rather give up oral sex or cheese?

  • This is a greenwashing PR stunt, not a serious product that will ever see the light of day.

  • In the broader world of politics, "liberal" usually refers to "classical liberalism": representative democracy, a capitalist market economy with limited government involvement, and an emphasis on individual liberty over communal well-being. This is the ideology the US was founded upon (for white people, at least) and that it still largely embraces. Both major US political parties are liberal parties.

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

    Within the US, the use of the term is very different. Republicans use "liberal" as a pejorative to describe anyone even slightly to their left. You could be a progressive, a social democrat, a communist, an anarchist, or simply a pragmatic individual who wants to fund libraries and public schools, and you would be branded a "lib."

  • The infidelity will continue until morale improves.

  • Not if he complies.

  • This is not a lemmy.world issue. All Lemmy instances do this, assuming they're running up-to-date builds. The devs added it to the Lemmy code base earlier this year:https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5318

    If you don't like it, then move to a PieFed or mbin instance. Then you have access to all the same content without any connection to dessalines or nutomic.

  • Ditch the web interface in favor of native desktop apps. AI queries will be distributed among logged-in users' PCs, turning the Lemmy user base into a distributed data center. Users will have post, comment, and vote rate limits tied to their computational contributions, incentivizing participation and the use of higher-end hardware.

    Since mobile users will have drastically reduced compute capabilities, they will contribute to the community differently: mobile apps will include telemetry and ads. Money raised from mobile ads will go directly to the Lemmy developers.

  • Sitting at a desk all day, starting at screens, can become so banal. Variety is the spice of life, no? If you aren't using black-market RPGs to blast vaguely identified boats from the open side of a Vietnam-era helicopter then are you even living?
