We need some kind of dashboard online with an overview of all the events on a timeline, just like you created.

Or a smartphone app that only pushes trial news and updates.

If he gets arrested later when he surrenders, beside a mugshot, do they also weigh Trump? Measure his height?

It’s not an AUTOMATIC disqualification, it still needs to be adjudicated

I might have mistaken what was written, but the scholars in the paper explicitly point out section 3 is ‘self-executing’. ~Which means it does not require adjuducation.~ I was mistaken, see comment below.

If it happened before, that doesn’t mean it was necessary.

For those who are interested: MSNBC publishes a podcast called “Prosecuting Donald Trump” and the episode dated August 1st features former federal judge Michael Luttig who is interviewed about various subjects, including his tweets concerning the standpoint of Eastman in January 2020 that implied Trump could have Pence declare the election invalid. Which was nonsense.

Just to be sure.

Nobody thinks it’s a good idea to improve education, medical care, urban problems, rural poverty, transportation, Medicare, Medicaid and labor unions? Right?

I’m asking for somebody else.

What will Apple do if they if the EU continues their plans with regard to client side scanning? That’s not one country, but many.

Apple previously planned on introducing client side scanning, but backed out after they received a high amount of critique.

Apparently, Kbin users can also see what Lemmy users upvote them. Is that correct?

You don’t need to allow other people on your server.

If you start your own server, you moderate yourself.

Whether others want to federate with your server is up to them.

The best way to get a quick understanding I think is to listen to episode 561 (2015) of This American Life about NUMMI in California:

https://www.thisamericanlife.org/561/nummi-2015

Toyota was more or less forced to start building cars in the US in the early eighties and did so in an unlikely joint venture with General Motors. GM was very interested in learning how Toyota build their cars. Bottom line: the Toyota Production System or TPS is mostly a way of management thinking that is completely different from the way most companies in the world manage people.

It is based on trusting employees, enforcing employees by training them, allowing employees to report errors as soon as possible, viewing the production proces as a manager with your own senses, understanding the production proces, truly following a vision and more.

Toyota actually does what most managers learn in management schools but don’t practice. Most managers outside Toyota want to be a boss and not a leader. But Toyota wants leaders that are being followed by employees based on intrinsic values.

Interestingly, the Toyota Production System is heavily influenced by the Training Within Industry program developed by the US Army during WWII and taught in post-war Japan by the US. And statistician W. Edwards Demming who showed Japan what true PDCA looks like.

Although an initial success, the production plant ultimately stopped operating. It was purchased by Tesla, and AFAIK, as of today Teslas are being build in the same plant in Fremont. But I highly doubt TPS is used to build Teslas.

Really? Didn’t know that was possible but it’s great to hear that.

This is a good question, because it never gets a proper answer.

I think most people consider it a way to approve or disapprove an OP or comment, but it’s completely unclear why.

Let’s say you post an OP about basketballs in the community!basketballsarecool@someinstance. If your OP describes all the cool things about basketballs, you’ll receive upvotes. If your OP describes basketballs are useless, you’ll receive downvotes. And it probably will be the reverse in the community!basketballsareuseless@someinstance.

Lemmy could at least stand out if the development community would remove downvotes. It’s an unnecessary polarizing passive aggressive way to disagree with somebody, that leads to all kinds if unnecessary negative emotions.

But it would be even better if the whole upvote / downvote system can be disabled. You don’t know who is upvoting / downvoting and what does it say?

What platform? Windows? Unix? Linux?

It’s not very different than Reddit. Either browse communities or browse all posts and try to discover communities you like.

Might I suggest you download and install wefwef (which was renamed to Voyager recently)?

Wefwef/Voyager is a progressive webapp or WPA. You don’t install it from an app store, but install from within any browser. It’s much easier to navigate Lemmy with wefwef/Voyager, but there are more clients that you could try as well.

It returned to nature.

But it’s still pretty amazing to me: it’s like using Twitter or Instagram to read and reply to Reddit!

It’s probably amazing because everybody is used to social media platforms blocking access to and from other platforms. The point of these commercial platforms is to reel in as many users as possible and keep them in the ecosystem. No export possibilities, no federation or standard protocol.

It’s like a large company inventing e-mail and not allowing people to e-mail to an e-mail address registered to another domain. Nobody would think that’s logical, but most have grown accustomed to commercial social media locking every account in.

If an administrator thinks it’s appropriate to block another instance, then who am I to complain if I use the instance free of charge except perhaps donations?

You’re completely right there can be such reasons for administrators to block other instances and that’s up to them.

Which, by the way, is also a great way to verify certain people. If a Lemmy account is registered on a server with a domain that is owned by a large broadcast company for example, it’s easy to check whether the user of that account is who that person claims to be.

The municipality of Amsterdam set up their own Mastodon server registered to amsterdam.nl, so it’s clear their Mastodon posts are genuinely from the municipality without any external verification schedule. If the mayor would want to post herself, she could simply get an account on that server and everybody knows it’s genuinely her.

Copy/paste from a comment I happened to have submitted a few minutes ago.

From a functionality perspective there is no difference. I’m registered to a Dutch server with this account and can comment on all OPs that are visible to me.

The administrator of a server (domain or instance) can block other servers (domains or instances) however. So if Meta not only starts it’s own Twitter-like platform, but also it’s own Reddit-like platform, it could be that administrators block access to the Meta server.

The best example for Mastodon (which uses the same federation protocol as Lemmy) is the Truth Social platform on which former president Trump publishes his posts. The administrators of Truth Social blocked access to all other servers on the fediverse, so Truth Social doesn’t federate at all. And I presume administrators of many other servers block access to Truth Social.

So from that aspect, you might think through on what server you register. Might the administrator block access to certain servers? Do you want that or not? etc.

But you can also take location into consideration with regard to legal questions. I personally do not want to register on a server in certain countries if for example the GDPR is not enforceable.

OK, but how do you get rid of gorillas?
