Ah, I see what you mean now.

Not exactly at gunpoint and, as always, all the evidence for the claims is circumstantial but here it is:

Senator for Veracruz, Miguel Ángel Yunes Márquez (the one who “flipped”), is currently being investigated for falsifying his residence documents when he attempted to run for mayor of Veracruz in 2021. He then accused the current government of Veracruz (MORENA) of political prosecution and denounced the local courts for being under MORENA’s controll. He claimed it was an attempt to stop him from becoming senator. (sorry, dont know the technical terms in english)

An arrest warrant was issued against him in july since he was out of the country and they declared him as “fleeing”. He appealed, claiming he was outside for medical reasons and the warrant was suspended.

He had stated that he would vote against the reform as it is the position of his party (PAN) then 3 days ago stopped all comunications with his party and yesterday his father went to the senate as his representative to present his vote in favour of the reform, since he is apparently still to sick to attend the senate himself. Later that night, or quite early this morning, he was seen alongside his father when leaving the senate’s session.

But the plot thickens!

His father and former governor of the state of Veracruz (2016-2018), Miguel Ángel Yunes Linares, is also being investigated for corruption as during his administration a millionaire security system for the state was installed in the state of which several cameras dont work and many others were never installed in the first place.

He is also being investigated for a very similar crime, “Illicit enrichment”, when he was director of the “Institute for social security and safety for state workers” (ISSSTE; mostly public healthcare for state workers). Apparently the institute paid for several medicaments, equipment, and services that were never recieved during his administration.

But wait! Theres more.

His brother and former mayor of the city of Veracruz, Fernando Yunes Márquez is also being investigated for electoral crimes during his administration as he allegedly forced city workers, under threat of unemployment and blacklisting, to support his brothers candidacy (when he attempted, and failed, to run for mayor of the same city)

And for the cherry on top, his wife, Patricia Lobeira Rodríguez, is the current mayor of that city (Not that it really matters since there are no accusations against her but I always get uneasy when a whole familly is in the government)

The claim of “wrangling votes” is that they offered him inmunity for himself and his family if he changed his vote; Which MORENA can totally do when the courts fall under their control now that the reform has been aprooved. (It still needs ratifying but everything points that it will be soon)

Also worth noting is that the Yunes familly and MORENA (AMLO included) have been very “critical” of each other for several years so this seems like a very strange and unexpected “change of heart”.

I can post some sources if you want but they are in spanish.

It seems fine to me. What part do you think is not neutral?

The Afghan Central Bank money,

Thats what Yoshis are for. Its scientific name is “Doublejumposaurus Super”

I’ll check it out too. Thanks again!

I see, at least they give some functionallity.

Thank you very much for all your help. ^.

Havent heard of ondsel, I’ll check it out. Thanks! ^.

Damn you proprietary software!!!

Thanks for the info. Seems like it would be safer to use librecad to create and autocad just as a reader/converter. Why people accept this, do this formats offer advantages over the open ones?

Edit: Sorry if im asking too many questions

like sending models/drawings to other companies/clients or whatever.

How can they tell if a document was made on a pirated copy? And how might one avoid that detection

I recently pirated autocad for a friend. While i was looking into it I saw a couple people who recieved letters telling them to stop and one even claimed they required them to scan the pc with some software and send them the results. Also, according to some redittors, other programs on the pc, even those not made by autodesk may snitch on you. So we started looking to foss alternatives, which there are some good ones btw, but in the end we just said “fuck it” and pirated it anyways because we needed to open .dwg files and autodesk had the brilliant idea of making it a proprietary format so they gave us no choice. What were they expecting us to do? Pay? lol

Its been about a month since, no problems so far.

Agree to disagree.

They explicitly said “I prefer to share the bad news” not that it was their only interest and, as I already pointed out, theres a legitimate reason as to why that could be.

Nothing of what ozma posts and comments makes me think they have a pro-trump agenda. I believe your personal opinion of Ozma is influencing how you interpret their words and their banning is based solely on the your assumption of what they meant.

All this said, I could be wrong to since im not inmune to my opinions shaping how I see things but even if I thought they were pro trump, i think the comment in cuestion is not evidence enough of their agenda (or lack there of)

I still cant see how Ozmas posting was in bad faith. Obsesive? Sure, it could be seen that way but it says nothing about their intentions other than they were prioritizing negative/critical news of biden and the dem. party, and I can see why, since theres a strong push back on the fediverse against those types of news.

Sometimes the accusation is just cowardly implied, as mozz is doing here.

PS: But for some reason is Ozma the one arguing in bad faith.

Nice argument; So im some sort of shill/bot/alt now? I guess this conversation is over then.

Thats an ok conversation I guess. But, in order to make your defense, you had to willfully ignore the fact that biden (and both party leaders) have a very pro israel/netanyahu stance and all of them are sponsored by pro israel money which, I believe, is what the comment you replied to was saying, even if this specific issue wasnt directly related to biden Thats what I would call blind/dishonest support for team blue.

The whole board is full of people giving Biden shit

And more often than not is followed by a variation of “vote blue no matter who” or its heavilly downvoted or gets several replies all telling them how dumb and wrong they are. Thats what I meant, but I admit that it isnt as one sided as my comment might imply.

Anyways, I dont think their descicion of only sharing negative news about biden is not inherently in bad faith. In fact, I believe them admitting to doing so proves the oposite, they were telling people directly what types of news they are sharing and what their view of the situation is, instead of pretending to be objective when theres clearly a bias.

How is that in bad faith?

Theres lots of blind support and promotion for team blue on here that I think Ozma was providing a needed counter balance. You say you dont want an echo chamber but I think this acomplishes the opposite.

So whats the ratio of good to bad news that we must share in order to not be banned?

Same story

it’s highly important to minimize the extent to which such platforms can be used to manipulate the outcomes of elections.

But this isnt doing that. This is only changing who is allowed to manipulate the public through propaganda.

The threat of violence.
