  • I'm saying they are tracking everyone they can, which is just about... everyone. Even if you do the best you can with encryption everywhere, running your traffic through proxies, and whatnot, your communications are still likely to be saved until decryption algorithms/compute catches up. Nevermind metadata which is probably all that would be needed to identify the average Lemmy account.

    Do border agents have access to that? Probably not directly, but I would presume any visa application to be routed through intelligence services. And while those may not have reported a missing social media account before, you know with that not being a requirement at all, they sure might under this administration.

  • I didn’t ignore it. It specifically means states can’t make laws that go against the treaties. That is all. It does not mean they are laws like any other law. Congress passes laws to say things are bad. Not everything that is technically a law is the same as something that a person can be put on trial for.

    The part you ignored is where international treaties are called "International Law", and "supreme Law of the Land"; They are therefore a law in a general sense of the word. As in "a piece of text defining rules of conduct".

    Also they are ratified by Congress (the Senate specifically), and are enforced by the contracting parties inside their own jurisdictions; So they are technically equivalent to a federal law (not just in the US, in most jurisdictions I'm aware of), insofar as de jure they have to be treated like one by the executive and judicial branches. So not sure why you are even trying to make up this distinction without a difference here.

    But speaking of things being ignored. You ignored that congress has refused to approve any of the updates to the geneva convention.

    Yeah I ignored that because it's irrelevant and also incorrect. The US ratified Protocol III from 2005.

    So you would have to check if the things that were done are even in the part they ratified.

    The rule in question is derived from Article 12 of the Second Geneva Convention from 1949, which the US also ratified. Also you seem to be suggesting that the DoD released a manual discussing rules which don't apply to them, which seems bonkers.

    Even if they are, by not ratifying the updates, they have made clear they no longer support it.

    Not how this works. If you want to no longer be bound by a contract you cancel it. The US did not do so. They could, but they did not.

    So again, it is highly questionable as to if the things they did ratify can be considered laws like normal bills that are drafted and passed by congress.

    To you maybe.

  • Right, just ignore that "treaties" are "the supreme Law of the Land", which was the entire point of this quote.

    International treaties are in fact of the same rank as federal law and the constitution in the US as per this article, which is even broader then the mere "ratified treaties are law" statement I made earlier, which I was trying to prove here after you called me stupid and confidently incorrect for it.

    Dude, at this point let us just agree to disagree, because from my point of view you seem impervious to reason; As I probably do from yours. So let's just cut our losses and part amicably. Good bye.

  • I get that you don’t understand subtle differences. Ratifyng a treaty is not the same as passing a law. In your head it is, but in a lawyers head it most certainly is not. [...]

    The manual of course is an interpretation by the administration. Not a judge. So the judge can feel free to completely ignore any and all of it. They could litterally write that by thier interpretation, they don’t believe we need follow the geneva convention. Nothing stops them.

    Oh yeah? Well the constitution seems to disagree with you (article VI):

    This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

    You are way off in your understanding of these things and are confidently wrong on a lot of them.

    Huh.

  • White House throws commanding admiral under the bus in killing of alleged drug boat survivors

    Jump

  • It being law in the US is highly questionable.

    What? How so? Do you not know how international law works? The US legislature ratified it, which makes it a law in the US.

    But again, the op wasn’t talking about the geneva convention, it was talking about the manual.

    What law do you think the "Law of War" manual is referring to? It's the Geneva Convention.

    And while the manual is “A” interpretation of international law, it isn’t the only one. So he can’t be tried for going against the manual.

    This is getting a bit silly. The manual is basically all former US administrations since the ratification of the Geneva Convention specifically stating that what the current US administration did is a war crime under it. Since at the time of the incident the Geneva Convention was applicable (as it still is now since the US didn't withdraw from it) the people involved in the incident could be tried under it, possibly by the next administration.

    If someone wants to claim he violated the parts of the grneva convention that congress agreed to, which is not all. That would be different. But that isn’t what the post was about.

    That is exactly what the post was about. What the hell are you talking about?

  • White House throws commanding admiral under the bus in killing of alleged drug boat survivors

    Jump

  • The manual is just giving an interpretation of the obligations arising from the Geneva convention, to which the US is a signatory and which it has ratified, so it actually is a law (the prohibition on killing helpless survivors, not the the Law of War manual). Also the action happened inside the US, since the action in question when talking about Hegseth is the alleged order to not leave any survivors.

  • Can confirm. In German a wheat field like in the OP would be called a Kornfeld, immortalised by Jürgen Drews in his song "Ein Bett im Kornfeld" which is about two people fucking in a corn field.

  • There are quite a lot of packages running it through wine, on AUR, as snap/flatpak, and probably more I didn't see in my cursory search. So the question is does this exploit work on wine I guess.

  • The (successful) end of the kernel Rust experiment

    Jump

  • Many popular projects written in Rust, including the UUtils core utils rewrite, are MIT licensed as Rust is. There have been people that purposely confuse things by saying that “the Rust community” is undermining the GPL.

    How would that ever be a problem in any case? I mean I'm not that versed in licensing stuff, but MIT explicitly allows sublicensing, so if in doubt just slap a GPL-sticker on the MIT code and you are good, no?

  • White House throws commanding admiral under the bus in killing of alleged drug boat survivors

  • No you are still not following. I think if Hegseth was indicted it wouldn't be by a court-martial, because the Secretary of Defense is technically a civilian elected to an office and not an enlisted member of the armed services.

  • Hegseth Says He Did Not See Survivors of First U.S. Boat Strike, Citing “Fog of War”

  • Apparently he does:

    During a Cabinet meeting at the White House, Hegseth said he did not see any survivors in the water, saying the vessel “exploded in fire, smoke, you can’t see anything. ... This is called the fog of war.”

  • I had to go to a different source, but here is the actual quote:

    During a Cabinet meeting at the White House, Hegseth said he did not see any survivors in the water, saying the vessel “exploded in fire, smoke, you can’t see anything. ... This is called the fog of war.”

    So yeah, he thinks "fog of war" means literal fog...

    Jump

  • Depends on the accused, in case of the general it would probably be a court martial. But for the Secretary of Defence I'm not sure, might be a civil court in that case. Either way I was talking about US courts deciding on this violation of international law. There never were international courts the US would obey.

  • White House throws commanding admiral under the bus in killing of alleged drug boat survivors

  • I doubt any court would agree to that line of reasoning if this ever goes to trial. The real problem is the administration is just openly ignoring the courts that don't rule in their favour. And again, Trump has pardoning power for federal crimes.

  • Guessing you mean getting the text under the bullet points to be part of the list, there is a trick to it. Well two actually.

    The first is ending a line with two spaces, this tells the markdown interpreter to do a line-break (which it normally ignores) and prevents the list from breaking. Example 1 below has spaces at the end of the list and the first text line, example two doesn't.

    The other is indenting the paragraphs 4 spaces (or 8,12,16,... if you are deeper into a cascading list). Example 3 has the indent, therefore the list doesn't break and example 4 is numbered correctly. But example 4 has no indent, therefore breaks the list, and the ordered list numbering starts over from 1 in the next list item.

    I used an ordered list here for demonstration purposes, note how it automatically increases numbering until the last point although the source text always says 1. But the principle works the same with unordered lists (bullet points), unindented paragraphs will break lists.

    So this source text:

     md
        
1. **OL 1**  
text preceded by 2 spaces and a newline  
text preceded by 2 spaces and a newline
1. **OL 2**
just newline, no spaces
just newline, no spaces
1. **OL 3**

    New paragraph indented by 4 spaces

1. **OL 4**

Unindented new paragraph breaks the list, note the numbering resetting

1. **OL 5**

    Will turn into this list:

    1. OL 1text preceded by 2 spaces and a newlinetext preceded by 2 spaces and a newline
    2. OL 2 just newline, no spaces just newline, no spaces
    3. OL 3

      New paragraph indented by 4 spaces
    4. OL 4

    Unindented new paragraph breaks the list, note the numbering resetting

    1. OL 5

  • And I am willing to bet that nothing in it allows it. Not sure how that would be relevant though?

    You can't be held to a standard that didn't apply at the time of the incident, but the standard that did apply during the incident clearly forbade it. So it doesn't matter even if they change it now, because judgement would have to be made in the context of the rules applicable at the time. Of course Trump could just pardon whoever gets found guilty...
