Mohamed@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•DOJ announces plans to prioritize cases to revoke citizenship2·5 days agoSadly, probably true. But my idea is also that making it only decidable by the Supreme Court means it will take a long, long time to revoke someone’s citizenship.
Mohamed@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•DOJ announces plans to prioritize cases to revoke citizenship13·6 days agoI think that revoking a citizen’s citizenship should only be decidable by the supreme court, and there needs to be a new trial for every single time the DOJ tries to revoke the citizenship of a citizen.
I think that because that means every triaé must be taken very seriously, and there cannot be summary revocations.

Mohamed@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your advices to cool homes without AC ?7·9 days agoPassive or Active Ventilation. The idea is to encourage air to pass through the home, which helps with removing heat from inside. Passive Ventilation would be opening windows, using wind catchers, etc. This depends on the design of your home, among other things that you probably don’t really have control over. Active ventilation is the same idea, but you use strategically placed fans to induce good airflow. For example, if you have two windows that are opposite to each other, you can place a fan at one window to intake air, and a fan at the other window as exhaust.
Mohamed@lemmy.cato Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•By Limiting Nationwide Injunctions, Supreme Court Declares 'Open Season on All Our Rights'2·9 days agoIt’s stupid. Sure, one could argue that nationwide injunctions are overreach, but they are necessary to limit the otherwise unlimited executive order power. The real overreach that needs to be removed is the executive order power. Nationwide injunctions would not be as necessary if laws were actually created and voted on by congress.
Some do. I’m sure it is possible with terminal programs. In KDE, you do get authenticator pop-ups.
Mohamed@lemmy.cato Europe@feddit.org•Israel's attacks are not illegal, while Russia has violated international order by its war against Ukraine, says MerkelEnglish7·14 days agoAlso, the opposite is true. Israel is a big threat to Iran. Would Iran have been justified in bombing Israel first?
Mohamed@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•Societies grappling with a ‘silent but growing’ prison crisis | UN NewsEnglish21·18 days agoI think prisons have to be reformed in almost every country, including my own (Canada). Prison should fill one or both of these roles:
- Isolate criminals from society,
- Limit freedom as a deterrent for crime. Generally agree that imprisoned people should have the opportunity to rehabilitate.
My point that i want to make is that the punishment should not exceed simply limiting freedom. Prison should protect prisoners from violence. Prison should allow prisoners to live fulfilling lives while there in prison. Prison rape should not be a fact of life in prison. Prison should not dehumanise prisoners. Prison should guard all rights of prisoners (apart from freedom of movement). Prisoners can’t be forced to do work or even follow a routine. Etc.
Unfortanutely, it seems things are so fucked up that not many have time to seriously fight for prisoner’s rights (including me).
Mohamed@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•‘No Kings’ was biggest protest in U.S. history: data analyst7·18 days agoI think the statistic of 3.5 is more of a symptom rather than the cause of a regime’s fall. For 3.5% to protest means that:
- Anger has reached a high level in the general population (a lot lot higher than 3.5%),
- The state of affairs is dire enough and hopeless enough that the trust that the system can improve on its own is very very low.
Probably other reasons.
Mohamed@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•RFK Jr. to require placebo-controlled studies for new vaccines19·2 months agoI think it’s more that placebo studies of vaccines could be unethical. Vaccines are preventative treatment. A placebo study would mean that, say, we give the vaccine to 50, and a placebo to 50, and then wait some time (or, for much more unethical, deliberately inject people with the virus), and compare the results.
For something like the common flu, this might be fine, but for something as dangerous as measles, this can be deadly.
I am interested to hear from someone knowlesgeable how vaccines are supposed to be tested.

Mohamed@lemmy.cato Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•If you are a believer, then religion is based on where you were born not who's god is better than the other4·3 months agoYes, it is legal. There are many christians in Saudi Arabia, for example. What is usually illegal is public religious practices of religions other than Islam.
Mohamed@lemmy.cato Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Tribler - Is it any good? If not, is there anything as private as Tor for torrents?English3·3 months agoIt works very well for me. My evidence that it is private is that I download plenty (more than 1 TB per month) and I never get a copyright notice from my ISP. When I torrent non-privately I get plenty of copyright notices, sometimes several times for the same torrent.
It does have, however, some major performance issues. It can be very slow, and it can use up a lot of RAM and a lot of CPU. Its internal database, which saves state of downloads, frequently gets corrupted at which point it has to be re-generated, meaning the list of torrents (not the downloads) is lost. It can be quite a bit slower than other torrent downloaders, and sometimes torrents stall for a while as it waits to prepare the network, especially at start-up.
It’s been getting a lot better though with every update, which is quite frequent.
Not making sure the result even makes sense. There was a real example, where a ~2010 news article said that the number of crimes in their city has been doubling every year since ~1980.
That is not possible. Assume that there was one crime in 1980. In 2010, there must be at least 2^20 crimes.
Mohamed@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Team Trump Is Gaming Out How to Ship U.S. Citizens to El Salvador | Trump officials are talking internally about denaturalizing American citizens — and potentially sending some to El Salvador3·3 months agoThat’s it exactly. JBP, JD Vance, etc., play word games of rhetoric to get what they want. It’s like they are defence lawyers and morality is a legal system they are trying to game - they argue whatever just to win.
I dont think so, but I would love one

Mohamed@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there anything people on the internet won't claim they are an expert in?4·3 months agoOmg youre the expert I am looking for! I would like to DIY an internet router that can communicate with whales.
My guess is that the US is threatening to cut away school funding, and so schools banned their student government from boycotting Israel.
