Both jus soli (citizenship by birth) and jus sanguinis (citizenship by blood) exist more for historical reasons than because one is better than the other. Both are simply a way to try and make citizenship a more clear-cut thing, because it’s as close to being a made-up thing as you can get, especially in cases such as parents having a different nationality to the child (which is even more confusing when both parents are of different nationalities).

Jus soli is more common in the Americas due to various factors, including an incentive towards immigration from richer countries during colonial times and the various movements towards emancipation of the enslaved peoples a few centuries later, but the fact remains that neither system is any more arbitrary than the other. Jus soli is often favored because it simplifies things like immigration and asylum seeking and reduces statelessness, which is still a significant issue that affects millions of people worldwide, mostly around war-torn areas.

As mentioned in another response, enfranchisement is also a very important issue that jus soli resolves, although a significant part of it is also due to other, unrelated citizenship laws that may not necessarily conflict with jus sanguinis.

I feel like it’d be wise to wait for further developments. Valve is notorious for being horrible at communication, but even then it’s rare that they do something like this without some sort of reason. It still sucks that Valve shut this down after 8 years, but it’s hard to know anything for certain until either side comes out with more information, especially with how stupid Valve’s legal team can be sometimes. Could be that they just backpedal and say it’s alright in a few days, who knows.

Of course, trusting Valve is always as risky as trusting any other corporation, given they have a bit of a track record with tolerating and even outright allowing gambling with skins, but this could easily be their legal team being overzealous yet again as well.

Seems a bit early to tell if this will have much of a lasting effect. So-called economic “shock therapies” have a long history of working for a year or so, and then unraveling later. And especially for Argentina, the cycle of decades of growth followed by decades of recession has been going on for a while now. I’ll be genuinely impressed if he manages to actually fix the economy long-term, but that still remains to be seen.

I don’t know of any graphical tools that let you do this, but generally, if you want to search for specific terms/times/commands or anything of that sort, piping journalctl into grep (and optionally grep into less) is pretty effective at finding stuff.

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

The whole capitalization of pronouns thing was pretty much entirely made up around the 19th century anyway (as well as the capitalizing the word “Lord”, which the King James version invented outright), so you can argue that protestant churches are following a woke plot to change the pronouns of the christian god as well.

Simple, effective, doesn’t make my home folder any more of a mess than I already left it as.

Needs more red circles

I wish tbh, been diagnosed for 3 years and still haven’t found meds that work. I suppose that’s inevitably part of it, but it sucks to just not be able to do things because my brain doesn’t want to give me good chemicals.

You’d be entirely correct, and that’s exactly why there’s an ongoing debate in physics and cosmology as to why there’s so much matter, and so little antimatter in the universe.

Sometimes you really have to stop and ask yourself what the fuck is going on at Mozilla’s HQ. It’s insane how they manage to shoot themselves in the foot at least once a week.

Isn’t the entire point of the Rome Statute that the country accepts the court’s jurisdiction involving international crimes and crimes against humanity as higher than that of any national court? I’m not an expert, but I imagine this defeats the point of signing the statute in the first place.

Nah, some people just really suck at being assertive (and/or have really bad social anxiety).

I really don’t see how supporting Manifest V3 is a problem. It’s still going to be used by many extension developers, and there’s no harm in its availability as long as you can still block WebRequest, which is currently the case. On the Mozilla taking Google’s money point, sure, that’s true, but it doesn’t seem to have affected too much of the browser, other than search defaults abd a few other things that can be very easily turned off or removed entirely. I wouldn’t say the chances are particularly high for Manifest V2 to be completely removed, personally.

Sounds like the person you’re married to is kind of a dick, honestly. Thinking less of other people for not understanding your own unclear language just shows a massive lack of introspection. As a local autism, though, I definitely disagree with the last point, as a significant difference between someone who has autism and someone who doesn’t is that language is understood differently (I would know), and that means you can both understand and be understood incorrectly very easily. This post is kind of deliberately divisive anyway, but I believe the point of saying something and being misunderstood, despite your best efforts (hopefully), still stands.

That it may well be, but it definitely falls on Cloudflare that they were able to take advantage of this for so long, and that the “unlimited traffic” was displayed as one of the perks in the Business plan (although I haven’t seen any evidence that that was listed). The decision to charge $10k a month would seem fairer if they weren’t insanely aggressive, and claimed there were violations of ToS where there don’t seem to be any.

I wouldn’t say that’s particularly surprising. Most people in Lemmy and similar platforms have been here since the mass exodus from Reddit, or are programmers themselves. These groups are usually more privacy-minded, and see this as a significant privacy issue. This doesn’t really necessarily mean it’s an echo chamber though, I’ve seen a lot of people talk about how they use and like Windows, and I think the reason why they downvoted your comment (making an assumption here, I don’t see downvotes in my instance) is because it seems to be completely unprompted by anything or anyone, and a bit abrasive.

What does that have to do with echo chambers, exactly?

(Do note I’m not an astrophysicist, so this may be a bit wrong, but I think the main part of it is right.) Not exactly. Everything in the universe is constantly drifting away from everything else. The reason it is pretty much only visible at the scale of galactic clusters is that literally every force in the universe overpowers this expansion, unless the distances between the objects are truly absurd, in the range of millions or billions of light years.

Why are you blamimg the developer team? It seems like management would be more to blame, given most of the time, they are the ones that overpromise on stuff like this, then work the developers to the bone until they inevitably fail to deliver on the absurd expectations set by their higher-ups. I’m not entirely familiar with the details for this case, but I know Take-Two are the exact kind of company that pulls this idiotic stunt with every dev team they have under their belt, as has been shown time and time again with so many games they publish.

Edit: Having done a bit of due dilligence, it seems that Intercept Games was created as a part of Private Division after they were bought out by Take-Two, which in my opinion just reinforces the perspective that the dev team had little to no say in how the game was marketed or released.
