Yup totally get it. This is a point far beyond rehabilitation to me, where the only sane solution is to never allow that person to interact with the public again.

I have zero ability to comprehend any of their “reasoning”, and even if they change their behavior, I don’t see how it could possibly be worth the risk to the public to ever let them be free.

Its just… So far beyond anything understandable to do something like this.

Unfortunately true. And the reason I personally land with prison is that enough innocent people end up there that I can’t support the death penalty. I actually just referenced a convicted murderer just a bit ago, whose conviction was overturned in no small part due to bad police work.

The best prevention, IMO, has nothing to do with the justice system, and a lot note to do with better social services. Counseling before something terrible and irreversible happens, better support for single parents, or even social workers/police/etc doing their job in this case, would have improved things drastically - a little girl would still be alive.

I can’t think of a better option than that.

Can someone like that actually be rehabilitated

I doubt it. Which is why I’m a fan of letting them disappear forever in a prison, and never have the opportunity ever again to harm a child.

or can they serve as an example of what happens to monstrous pieces of shit like that?

Also doubt it.

These sort of people will not recognize their own actions as being wrong, and they also wont “learn” from the punishment of others.

So the only thing public torture would do is provide a spectacle for those who enjoy it. It won’t deter anything. There used to be public hangings, stocks, etc - which also was not stopping the crimes from happening.

Yup, debian is where I was before Ubuntu, and where I went back to. Still what I run mostly, plus a few different flavors of it (proxmox for example).

Though I’m also running an arch desktop on one of my play machines, kind of reminds me of having to write my x conf out in the 90s! Not bad overall.

(Never giving up my deb stable servers though!)

Yes, and I don’t consider that an “easy to disable” option for regular users, but that’s just my opinion.

“Easy to disable” is also the wrong approach, IMO. It should have been “easy to enable” - stuff like this should always be opt-in, not opt-out. Opt-out, to me, demonstrates a company’s motivations more than anything else.

Well, spoke to soon. I was banned for being ‘uncivil’ on the .world vegan community for calling out this same behavior, and hoping the community ended up somewhere other than on that particular instance.

Sooo… yeah I’m keeping the block. Maybe expanding to some mods there would be sensible.

Edit: There, all set now.

Ehh… not at first. That was a later release.

I’ll have to unblock, so I can do that later on, sure. Working so not paying much attention to Lemmy at the moment.

Edit: Sorry, my mistake, not a mod. An admin on the instance recommended / linked to in the side bar.

When some of those mods are perfectly fine with lgbtq persecution, and make it out like vegans have it worse, or dont care because they wouldn’t have to see it personally…

I’m just going to go ahead and consider it a toxic shithole. Worst part? Different mod, but they seem to be all over the same vegan communities, so none of them become worthwhile.

I personally don’t care if they ban me since I’ve blocked the communities anyway. Just unfortunate as I really enjoy seeing some of the recipes, as there are a decent number of them that are gluten free (which I need to be).

I’ve definitely trimmed some artists from my personal music library over their politics.

Here’s my tip - subscribe to a bunch of things of interest, and set your subscribed feed to top for the day. You’ll likely see a bunch of interesting posts.

Then browse all, top for 6 hours, and you’ll see some wide variety (except for days following a debate like today, that’d going to skew political heavily for obvious reasons).

You’ll find new and interesting communities to subscribe to, and make your subscribed feed all the better.

Personally I have different accounts for different interests, and for a few of them I rarely leave the subscribed/top for the day. They are more focused, and without a good multi-community feature that’s universal, its the next best thing.

Hope you enjoy it here!

You dont know the ones who don’t talk about it constantly.

Applies to both Linux users and vegans.

Oh absolutely.

I’d just find it hilarious for her to respond, but leaving the idiot alone is absolutely the best course of action.

I hope her response is just “Ew. No.”

Though its more likely she’ll just ignore him.

Honestly don’t remember the names, its been… Quite a while. I’ll have to open and check.

Iirc it was also some I stored as gifts that became unknown or something, and I wasn’t able to send them.

The bigger issue to me are games that were removed from steam and I can no longer get.

Which is why I don’t bother buying on steam anymore. If I’m buying, its DRM-free only.

Part of why I’m collecting up whatever ones I find to use for my small electronics projects… Even saw someone recently use about 50 or so to make a nice battery bank (was posted here to Lemmy)

I’ve been using them as the overnight batteries for solar powered projects (like wled controlled lights). I’ll be happy to get batteries elsewhere instead and reduce the massive waste.

Yup, xmpp is the way to be still IMO.

Yes but it wasn’t marketed that way. Which is why there is more interest.

Apple has been blatantly obvious that they want it to remain proprietary and exclusively on their hardware.

Because imessage is proprietary and apple is against it being publicly available and a standard.
