The President Can Now Assassinate You, Officially
  • The ruling doesn't even allow unrelated trials to use evidence that might be from official presidential business. Trump just requested his conviction in NY to be overburdened based on this ruling. So how it would not protect criminal acts when you can see in your own eyes this being used to get away from criminal acts. The other trials are also in jeopardy.

    As for the "decision made by trials court" that is insignificant as SCOTUS can override them.

  • The President Can Now Assassinate You, Officially
  • Sadly no. The way they turned it around was very clever.

    So they said that only official presidential business is immune, but were ambiguous what that actually means, so inevitably they made it so it would go through them to determine what is the official business.

    Second thing is that they picked up from their ass that Constitution also says that no official business can be used in any trial, even if it is unrelated. This not only jeopardizes all the indictments he had, it possibly will negate the New York trial.

    trump already submitted request to have it referred based on this SCOTUS ruling.

    This election might be the last free election we have. And even if trump loses it will still not be over.

    Please vote and make your friends and family vote. And not just for president but also for the Congress.

    Edit: I also recommend everyone a book "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the Twentieth Century" (there's also reading on YouTube) all the warning signs are present. The more people are aware what it is at stake the higher chance that this can be stopped.

  • So do I. Also the only time I had an outage in 25 years was due to equipment failure and, there also was a planned maintenance. It never took longer than a couple hours.

    Grocery bags cost like what? 50 cents? It encourages having reusable bags which are more practical anyway and don't break as often.

    As for gas, this is a problem with location. On one side we have ocean on the other we have mountains. This causes pollution to be trapped.

    This is why Los Angeles was infamous for its smog in 70s and 80s. Catalysts and specifically refined oil helped being it back to healthy levels.

    Also I don't get the obsession with the gas. If you look at prices the gas prices were static for nearly 15 years. It is ridiculous that this is still an argument to anything.

  • First time using NixOS. It's awesome.
  • It has an interesting approach in terms of organizing disk layout. That solves a lot of problems (dependency hell, immutability, reproducibility, automatic changes etc) and seems to be overall better, but it's a huge paradigm shift and step learning curve so many people get discouraged.

  • Sonia Sotomayor Is Trying to Warn Us About the Supreme Court’s Dirtiest Open Secret
  • You vote for the person who selects the people for SCOTUS. There are two very old members (Thomas and Alito) that will likely be replaced in the next 4 years. Are you willing to let trump replace them with 40 year olds and fuck us for decades to come?

  • I love "California disaster" arguments. I have some MAGA relatives that currently live in California, they decided to move and in 2022 in summer visited non-"marxist" states. And you know what? They ended up staying.

    I live in California for 25 years now and I love my state. The most opinionated about how shitty California is are people who never been here.

  • Biden’s debate performance sets off alarm bells for Democrats
  • 1st. He didn't win by 5 million, he won by 7 million. 2nd what you're talking about wasn't result of popularity, but how our election system is messed up, where some votes matter more than others. trump not even once won a popular vote. Even against Hilary he lost by nearly 3 million.

  • Biden’s debate performance sets off alarm bells for Democrats
  • Constitution only matters if it is being enforced. And 2017-2020 showed us that very few Republicans were willing to do that.

    Currently SCOTUS is debating whether president has absolute immunity (in other words, if he can commit any crime, including murdering his political opponents) something that is absolutely against our constitution, yet they have to debate it.

  • Fake Reddit comments generated by AI?

    So I ran Power Delete Suite as I periodically do. I have it configured to edit a comment and then delete it. It deletes comments that are older than 1 week old.

    What was unusual was that within minutes I got the red envelope. And looking at it there was a response to a comment that I wrote 2 years ago.

    So first thing is that as many were saying Reddit undeletes comments. I initially ignored that I saw some comments that I thought were deleted, but I assume it was because subreddits were locked and that's why they were invisible to Power Delete Suite, but this was on r/programming which was unlocked for quite some time (not sure if it ever was locked).

    Second thing is the response within minutes.

    So my 2 year old comment still exists and it's not showing up on my profile. I wouldn't even know about it is not for that response.

    Of course this could be a coincidence, the account that responded to me is 9 years old, the content of it seems normal, although I saw comments on r/ChatGPT.

    Though the timing bugs me off. If the comment is not from a real person maybe when Reddit restored it the AI code thought it was a new comment and responded to it.

    Another thing that contributes to my suspicion of chatbots being deployed is that I noticed since the API protest and after they unlocked subreddits is that I get more upvotes and more responses than I used to.

    Anyone observed something similar?
