That’s fine. There will always be some niche / industrial software that someone needs Windows for.

I don’t “get you” because your argument is non-sensical.

You’re saying that you want a legal system where everyone receives the same treatment but then in the same breath arguing that an exception should be made for Luigi because Trump hasn’t been punished.

Because I’m not concerned that the google hardware constitutes a security risk.

It’s trivial to monitor packets a device is sending over the network, the Graphene team would absolutely be on top of this.

Nah. If it’s a choice between GrapheneOS on a pixel or an iPhone I’d take my chances with the pixel.

It would be pretty easy to detect if there was unexpected traffic with any google services.

You do you but IMO Graphene is your best chance in 2025.

On a phone ?

What’s the alternative?

If only there were some way you could kind of refer viewers to the primary documentation for the project.

It’s not that it’s uncommon, but slightly different for each project.

I collated library would be kinda cool.

That said, I don’t know how much utility this project would have.

you ‘equally’ refuse to allow the punishment of defendant by returning a ‘not guilty’ verdict

That’s not what equally means. The same law needs to be applied to everyone. Making exceptions creates inequality.

Luigi was acting in self defense

If that is Luigi’s legal defense then the jury needs to weigh the evidence of that claim and if supported of course they would return a not-guilty verdict. That’s not jury nullification.

‘not guilty’, regardless of the letter of the law.

This is, quite obviously, a corruption of the legal process. If jury nullification is an intended feature of the legal process then why aren’t jurors instructed to find the defendant guilty, not-guilty, or exempt? Why don’t defense attorneys tell jury’s that the application of the law in this case is unjust and therefore they should find the defendant not guilty?

Your fixation with DeSiGnInG RoBuSt sYsTeMs is absurd. It doesn’t support your position in any way. I could just as well say that you obviously don’t have a job that requires much thought or requires you to consider complex problems with unquantifiable ethical aspects.

You thinking about this for a long time also does not support your position in any way. People can believe in all sorts of nonsense their entire lives. The inflexibility and inability to support your position is a pretty good indicator that you haven’t really thought about this but merely like how the concept feels.

If you actually read the wiki page, you will find it supports everything I’ve said.

Juries decide whether defendants are guilty of the charges against them. They do not decide whether the law ought to apply. If you don’t understand the difference then you’re right… I’m not going to be able to put an argument before you that you’ll be able to comprehend.

It’s patently obvious to everyone that a fair and just system of laws needs to apply equally to everyone, even in cases where we dislike the victim.

You’re correct in that the jury prevents a corrupt government from convicting innocent people.

That’s why a jury’s role is to return a verdict of guilty or not guilty. You will note there’s no third option for a jury to return a verdict of “guilty but exempt”.

Do you really want a court system where 12 idiots decide whether the law should apply? That’s the antithesis of a fair and just legal system.

Yeah well, it wasn’t intended to be all positive.

I migrated all my stuff (small business) to mxroute because I couldn’t justify the cost for fasmtail.

It’s the server that matters, not the domain.

If you do this it’s good to use something like mxroute as an SMTP server so deliverability is their problem.

Can I ask what client you prefer?

I dislike thunderbird and roundcube.

I was with fastmail for more than a decade.

They’re the best platform.

Their spam protection is so-so. Not as good as Gmail but better than some others.

Their pricing is egregiously expensive.

Their tech support is painfully slow for anything above chatGPT level.

Click the column header to select the column, then click and drag the selected cells to wherever you want.

Note that dragging cells in this way is the same as copy & paste, so it will not insert the column at your destination and move the existing columns along, it will leave a gap where you dragged it from and overwrite the column wherever you leave it.

I could say the same to everyone who has replied to me in this thread.

Please continue believing that things would be better with a vibe-based legal process.

Also godspeed is one word.

I guess this is the core of the issue.

I find it bizarre that anyone could honestly think that a broken system could be improved by allowing 12 random people to make exceptions in exceptional circumstances. Sorry but it’s difficult to say anything charitable about that opinion.

Every case is exceptional, and we have a complex process for weighing the circumstances and determining the least-bad outcome.

You can look at Luigi’s case and say “this victim deserved to die therefore Luigi should not be punished”, but what is the consequence of that? How many people will be murdered that don’t really deserve to die? How many murderers who deserve to be punished will not be?

I can’t believe I have to say this but, you can’t expect consistent application of the law while arguing that exceptions should be made when you like the perp.
