I see three possible reasons:
He’s dead
El Salvador and the US don’t want anyone to speak about what’s going on in the prison
Trump wants to use this as a test. If he can get away with this, he can get away with sending most anyone.
Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
Yes.
But they didn’t say they can’t get him back. They said they won’t get him back. The Trump administration argues that the courts cannot order them to bring him back to the US as he is not on US land.
My personal guess is that he’s already dead. They put him in a prison with the same people who wanted to murder him.
There are only two places in the world that can make that specific shade of red: Kodak Labs and the CIA.
That’s not even recent. Russia has been astroturfing Reddit since at least 2015.
I remember reading /r/politics pretty often back then. All of a sudden, half the posts were from RT talking about Hillary and the DNC. Yes, what they did to Bernie was bullshit but the point was clearly to either get people to vote for Trump instead or to encourage people not to vote.
Now, like you said, it’s about the war. All of a sudden, every single post about the invasion has dozens of people who are totes Ukrainian and think that Zelenskyy is a monster who refuses to end the war. Yet they either have a rather bare post/comment history or never mentioned the war before.
And, if you go to the profile for any user who identified themselves as Ukrainian years ago, it’s crazy but they’re still in favor of the war and protecting Ukraine.
This is what propaganda is. It’s not just the government putting up posters saying you should listen to them; it’s convincing you that your views are extreme and unpopular.
Haven’t gotten banned yet but it’s definitely gotten to the point on Reddit where you are aware that you can’t discuss some topics.
Like mentioning Luigi could get you shadow-banned. Redditors acted like they were going to stand up against this and yet there’s nothing. So the censorship is working - either all the comments are getting removed or people are too afraid to talk about it.
I’d argue Lemmy and other decentralized platforms are the last bastion for free speech instead of Reddit though.
Lemmy is kind of forced to be, too.
Horrific speech can be removed from the site. But if you want to see it, the admin logs are open to the public. Other instances also aren’t forced to play along with the views of one instance. And each instance can choose whether they want to connect with others.
So you could create your own Christian Nationalist and White Supremacist Lemmy. But our instances don’t have to federate with it. And if they choose to do so, we can leave for a different one or the users can block it entirely.
Lemmy lets anyone have a platform and, simultaneously, it doesn’t force anyone to listen to you just because you have your own platform. Basically, everything that makes Lemmy a decentralized platform also makes it good for moderation without harming free speech.
There was that peak time back in the 2010s. Right after they got rid of all the worst hate communities but before they were taken over by astroturfing.
Maybe like 2014-2015ish?
They’ll sometimes have issues but I haven’t ever heard of an actual attack against any of them.
You’ll need a Usenet server but at least two is preferable - one following DMCA and one following NTD.
Then you’ll need indexers. There’s no limit on these that you’ll want. Each will have different content and you can use some services to track how often you actually get good results from them or how much overlap there is.
Then get a download client. I like SABNZBd.
After that, you can automate it. Sonarr is gold standard for TV shows and Radarr for movies. Lidarr exists for music but it’s pretty hard to automate good music since there are so many different versions - radio edits, DJ, live, samples, remixes, etc.
Best part about Usenet is that it’s much easier to get what you want. With Torrents, you’re relying on seeders for each file you’re downloading. These mostly end up being newer media and usually the shittiest quality someone can produce (looking at you, YIFY).
With Usenet, it’s all coming from the servers. If it’s been uploaded, it’s almost always still there and you can usually download it as fast as your Internet connection allows. Sometimes you’ll find missing parts, almost always due to either DMCA/NTD requests or because the uploads were old and not downloaded recently enough. The former is the reason I recommend at least two servers. However, you’ll still usually have multiple other versions of that file uploaded elsewhere. If you’re using Sonarr/Radarr, they will mark it as a failed download and try another matching item instead.
No - the US and Europe developed two different methods for handling salmonella.
Starting in the 1970s, the US chose to wash the eggs. The upside is that it eliminates virtually all risk. The downside is that it requires refrigeration throughout the entire supply line, but since they are refrigerated, US eggs last a lot longer; unrefrigerated eggs last about three weeks while refrigerated eggs last about 50 days.
Large portions of Europe didn’t have the infrastructure to support this so the regulators instead chose to vaccinate the chickens. The upside is that no extra steps are required and no extra equipment like refrigerated trucks. The downside is that they don’t last as long.
Both methods work about equally well and are both considered acceptable.

It’s not a guarantee, though, but it should be. If you serve for, say, 5 years and have not been dishonorably discharged, you should be automatically eligible for citizenship.
As of now, serving only exempts you from the continuous residence and physical presence requirements. You still need to be a permanent resident, know English, understand the US government and history, and demonstrate “good moral character” for at least a year out of the military.
Permanent residency shouldn’t be mandated for soldiers. They’re choosing to serve for the US - isn’t that enough? The English and US government/history requirement should be waived under the assumption that they understand all of those well enough after training and serving in the military. Good moral character really is just that you haven’t committed any serious crime which is fine.
I quit a long time ago without even meaning to.
There was just less and less content to keep me interested while more ads and “recommendations” kept taking their place. At some point I was just forcing myself to open the app each day and just stopped.
If an app, website, or game won’t respect my time, why should I give it any?
WebRTC could be used to provide peer-to-peer streaming. The load on the servers would be very minimal since the feeds would be sent directly from the host to the viewers. A lot of live streaming and video conferencing apps already use it to keep their hosting costs down.
The downside is that the IP address of the viewers will be exposed, even over a VPN unless precautions are taken by the user or the application.
Back when it was 90% junk, 5% okay, 4% great… But also that 1% that was absolutely worth it.
Back when Schwarzenegger and T-Pain were basically the highlights. Victoria running the AMAs - I mean that had to be one of the biggest losses. That bird scientist dude and then the drama after he was caught alt upvoting.
Its range is also only 180 miles. The smaller battery definitely helps keep the cost down.
This car might not be for me but I definitely see its value and hope they’re successful.
