Was it sold as pure NaCl? Probably not…

I’m sorry, I have no idea what point you’re trying to make.

I’m not talking about a “sense of duty,” I’m talking about actual responsibility. Lemmy users don’t have a high level of responsibility for the server they use. Admins and mods do.

You are the instigator here, don’t twist the facts.

You are literally inventing things to be outraged about. Do you just really enjoy conflict and drama?

Police have a duty to enforce the law, and when they ignore other officers breaking the law they are failing their duty to society. Do you think ML users have a duty to control what other ML users post? That’s the mods/admins job, regular users don’t have any special privileges on Lemmy.

This right here is why ML has the reputation it does.

Thank you for your service. 🫡

Leave it to a .ml user to ignore all context…

The US currently employs “volunteer” troops, but also requires all male citizens to register for a future draft. Many living veterans were drafted. And many others were in vulnerable situations that recruiters recognized and preyed upon. Once you join the US military, it’s a crime to quit.

There is clearly some nuance needed when taking about US war veterans.

I don’t think any cops have been drafted into police service. They also don’t go to jail if they quit their job. And I haven’t heard of police recruiters using predatory tactics and targeting disadvantaged groups. The military does, or has done, all of those things to recruit troops.

Mobile operating systems (Android, IOS) don’t give the user enough freedom to understand how the system works, the best you can hope for is an understanding of how to use the technology. Knowing how technology works is very different from knowing how to use technology.

Your other post really makes it sound like you think people use GrapheneOS to hurt Google’s business model.

GrapheneOS runs Google play services in a sandbox (rather than as a system level app) and randomizes the advertiser ID, IIRC.

People don’t use GrapheneOS to avoid giving Google their money. They do it to protect their privacy.

That’s a new one, kids called it “paper view” when I was growing up. It’s pay-per-view, and you could get it on cable and satellite too.

Same girl?

I’m not a lawyer, but I know they can put enough leins on a property to take possession of it. I’m pretty sure police will also forcefully remove someone who’s violating civil trespassing laws, but again, not a lawyer.

Local ordinances can also make things like camping on private property illegal. That would be at the city level, but really an HOA is just another form of local government so I’d argue that counts too.

Local ordinances and HOA CC&Rs can make it illegal to live on your own land unless you meet certain requirements, like having a specific type of permanent building (eg. no manufactured homes).

Now that’s jive
