Not gonna lie, if this were a real product, I’d be tempted. You see, for Android phones, ESIM registration uses propriety Google code. A programmable device that can present to the phone as a regular SIM would be a boon.

While you’re correct that laws are created by the legislature the judiciary is where they are judged to be just. At least in systems based on English common law. Look up jury nullification for more info. Also, prosecutorial discretion is a thing. Basically if any law isn’t enforced either through jury nullification and/or prosecutorial discretion then it is vestigial and should be amended or repealed.
At the level of individual acts congress has no legal power due to the separation of powers. However, congress is sovereign and has the absolute power to make, modify and discard any law it chooses to as long as it’s constitutional (and they can amend that). This kind of power means that they have extra judicial influence and threats have real weight.
The whole no tax on tips is a bit of a head fake. You hear that and you think: “aw, that’s nice. Wait staff will get more money”. You’re not thinking about the millions wall street gamblers get in bonuses will now be classified as tips. A better policy is for wait staff to be paid a living wage and paying staff is a cost of doing business.
How powerful a tool X is depends on how much legitimacy it can gain. If politicians are leaving the platform it can’t be long before advertisers also leave. I’m old enough to remember Myspace. Even Facebook is a bit pacé nowadays.
I could imagine Labour HQ running their own Lemmy server for their MPs and staff.
It really depends how well maintained the instances are. This extra work may come at a cost. Which may exclude some of the opportunists.
Does this also apply to exit polls?
Yes, crypto assets is another thing the Democrats cede to the libertarian right. Their abstemiousness risks the politicization on factional grounds. Not every crypto holder is a Mises quoting, Ayn Rand reading, tax avoiding weirdo.
The linked webpage isn’t coming up for me Here’s the web archive version
For personal things, computer, phones, etc. Big corpos cover this by a EULA. EULAs also covers forums controlled by the companies. For public places like websites, you can control search engines by using a robot.txt file.
You could argue that’s what industry-millitary complex is already doing. Along with the media.
Had a quick glance at this study. Forgive any mistakes, but I have a few “faulting” observations:
That’s just the point. These failings are common. That means we all fall prey to these faults from time to time. Just remember when you point a finger, at least three get pointed back to you.
While I agree with you, at what stage would you find a job just not worth the carnage?
I think calling conservatives “dumb” is needlessly inflammatory, and what’s worse, is it’s incorrect. They just fall for a common human failing: confirmation bias, amongst other well known fallacies.
I think the difference be between Briana’s and George’s killing and why one got the limelight was two fold. One could have maybe explained away as an honest mistake or a bad situation. The other was pretty blatant malice. George being the latter. Outrage takes time to build and can dissipate quickly. It maybe the public had just reached a tipping point after months and years of unlawful killing by police of black people, mostly male, mostly young.
I think the offense people took with your reply is due to the historic “he was no Angel” excuse. As a way to justify the inexcusable, cold blooded murder.
I disagree. It’s an projection from positions in Project 2025, Trump’s own desire for presidential immunity, the No More Political Prosecutiins Act and his admitted wish to be a dictator (for a day).
Not so sure that will work. ESIMs are really convenient and cost effective for travelers and people who flit between countries. You can even load up an ESIM before leaving for a country. Your other option is to pay through the nose for roaming. Or arranging a pay as you go SIM in a country where you may not have a full grasp of the language.
