@jonte tack, bra att veta.
@peter thanks!
I'm thinking that on one hand it would make total sense for all US military personnel to quit their jobs at this point, because they don't want to participate in war crimes and the current commander in chief (trump) is clealy insane and has no problem commiting war crimes. But on the other hand, that's easy for me to say, it's something else for someone who depends on their job in the US military to provide for their family. It's a really shitty situation for them.
@Foxboron I'm sorry, it was an attempt at making some kind of a joke.
> refusing an illegal order is a requirement under the uniform code of conduct
Interesting. Does that apply on all levels, not only for generals and admirals but all ranks all the way down to the private soldiers?
@svenskavanor.se det heter dammsugare.
@Foxboron you're so old-fashioned adding signatures to things!
In our bright future, I expect that signatures will be meaningless since every statement will be auto-generated plagiarism+bullshit. Concepts like "authorship" will be irrelevant, nobody will care or even understand what it means.
> hold generals and admirals personally accountable
What is the appropriate action to take for a general who gets an order like "sink that ship now" from the commander in chief? What exactly is the right thing to do, and are there examples of people who did the right thing in that situation?
I suppose the general should say "sinking that ship in the way this order says would be a war crime, so I'm not going to do it." If a general says that, then what happens next?
@jajo det kanske var bra på det sättet att det fanns vissa saker partiet stod för.
@gedankenstuecke yes, I also avoid going into the asylum.
@johank76 jag tror att poängen med systemed med "Akademiska hus" är att staten kan säga "vi satsar såhär jättemycket pengar på forskning och utbildning, titta bara på vår budget för det!" och sen snurrar pengarna tillbaka till staten genom det statliga "Akademiska hus". Så staten kan få det att se ut som att det satsas mer på forskning än vad som verkligen är fallet. Det är buffel och båg, fiffel med bokföringen.
@gedankenstuecke github nowadays very often refuses to show me stuff due to some buggy "rate limiting" bullshit.
@jajo menar du att det fanns en tid när moderaterna var något bra?
@ChrisWere thanks!
@ChrisWere I want to try to avoid spoilers, just want to know, is it a good series? Worth watching?
Looking forward to work with #modemmanager upstream on improving dual SIM support in our #LinuxMobile stack: https://nlnet.nl/project/Linux-MultiSIM/ .
Thanks a lot to @NGIZero for supporting this!

the question you should be asking yourself is not “what's the best way to verify the age of every single computer user on earth”
but rather “why the fuck are we trying to verify the age of every single computer user on earth????”
and the answer to that is: fascism
