  • considerable checks and balances on executive power

    Lol. The 'Muricans use to boast about theirs too. Not anymore, do they?

    At the end of the day those are only words written in a piece of paper and can't do anything if the gang of thieves (politicians) with a gang of thugs (forces) decide to wipe their asses with it.

    As I said, I'm not an expert in law, but for what I've seen when someone tells me their country (or maybe not theirs but one they have idealized) is different, it ends up not being true. Usually it's just luck they're wealthy enough and shit hasn't hit the fan yet.

  • Which ones are these 'non-shithole' countries? I'm not an expert (either in law, or in shitholery) but as far as I'm aware these pardons exist in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Canada, Australia, Poland, Morocco, Ireland... so I'd bet that places where 'leaders cannot randomly pardon people' are, in fact, the exception.

  • I understand the joke, mate. My comment was about the l word, see my answer to the other commenter (so I don't have to repeat myself or pollute the thread copy-pasting it).

  • I mean the word 'libertarian' doesn't mean what op, or (most) Americans, think it means.

    Not an exhaustive list, but someone's NOT a libertarian if they're a bigot, they 'back the blue', defend or support not only billionaires but any other kind of exploiter (this would include 'employers', landlords, investors... and anyone profiting from other people's labor), enlist voluntarily into the armed forces...

    The link is the site of an actually libertarian workers union.

    Bit tired of fascists appropriating it, even if they smoke weed.

  • There exist an archaic law like that, but it doesn't include all booties, only 'Royal Fish', and imho it would be a stretch to consider bananas as whales or sturgeons.

    This case would be under maritime law. Iirc the cargo still belongs to the shipping company if it fell, but would be a 'finders keepers' if they threw it overboard. But I'm not a lawyer (sea lawyer?), I think this is for recoveries at sea, when it's already on shore local laws might apply instead, idk...

  • Consolidating resources to be used for mutual benefit is what government is for

    Is it? Since when?

    I would rephrase it as 'consolidating resources, taken from the poor people's labor, to be used for the benefit of the state and the powerful is what government is for'.

  • I don't know what's up with my fellow millennials in the comments. I do order food once or twice a week.

    About the fees, there's none if you order directly from the restaurant, and the apps/services that apply them (usually just one) take it out above a certain threshold, or looking into your email spam for of their 'discount offers', but the prices of the food are higher anyway (which I find more dishonest than simply charging a delivery fee).

    Also, I only tip if it's rainy or super-hot (the weather, not the food or the delivery person), because Europe.

  • Motorola ignores EU regulation on security updates for smartphones. Will this end well?

    Jump

  • That iPhone 8 (plus) was like 750. So like a hundred a year. I literally am the person than spends less on phones out of my entire social circle.

    Edit: also I've had three android (not so) cheap phones—one handed down to me, previous to the iPhone 4, that I had for a few months. And my current and former work phones, provided by my company—and hated (still hating the current one) the hell out of them, utter trash full of ads and uninstallable spyware.

  • I ain't no apple fan, but my old iPhone 8—which is now my sister's work phone since one year ago—just received a security patch a couple months ago, eight years after it was bought. And yes I went with an iPhone 16, because only two phones in 14-15 years (iPhone 4, 8, and now 16) is something no other brand can currently compete with. Unpopular here, I know, but I don't care about a jack port (my android work phone has one and its only function is to build up pocket dust), or sideloading (I don't even 'sideload' much in my laptops, almost everything comes from the official repositories).

    I really hope the phone landscape changes and, in six years or so, I can buy a proper FOSS phone, but I'm not holding my breath.
