Your freedom ends where the freedom of others begins.

This is pure and obvious defamation and is illegal in many civilized countries. That's how it has to be.

Only in the US people are so obsessed with 'free speech' that they actively protect hate speech.

Without this delusional interpretation of 'free speech', what Trump is doing most of the time wouldn't be acceptable or possible.

Of course it is too late when you already have a fascist, authoritarian government.

But to such a government it doesn't matter anyway. They will do whatever the fuck they want. They will introduce new laws if they feel like it. Putin had no problem to introduce a law which effectively lands you in jail for calling the war in Ukraine a war.

So I don't buy the implication that even hate speech has to be protected as free speech because the government could abuse it. The real world shows us very clearly that such governments do whatever they like, so that's just propaganda and wishful thinking at best.

Is that your 'freedom of speech', America?

This right there should land you in jail.

I've never noticed until now that Zuckerberg looks like a giraffe.

No, it's the UK where children can go to school as young as 4 years old. So this is way less alarming than it sounds to people from other countries, where indeed children are already 6 when they go to school.

They only have a problem with the 'walking around armed might provoke law enforcement to shoot you, so don't do it' narrative.

They don't like telling people not to carry guns. That's all.

Erm, you can soil yourself in panic and excuse yourself to the bathroom. Works every single time.

Only during COVID...

For me it is 'someoe using Excel (at all)'.

Seeing people bragging about cool 'apps' and 'databases' they created in their department only to find out it is Excel. Oh the pain...

Is there a Lemmy version of r/woosh?

Haha, okay but that's more like Darth Vader.

The syntax is a little weird IMHO. I can't help but read it as 'NOT code_review@programming.dev' ...

It is shaping up very nicely! One more nitpick: cloud that button say something like 'Join Lemmy (instance name)'?

So that any fool understands what it does. Join instance name has the potential to confuse some people, because they don't know what joining instance name means - especially if some instance is chosen which name is more on the cryptic site.

But anyway, very nice!
