  • "What you say disagrees with my world view, so I'm just going to pretend you're crazy and your words don't make sense."

    I've had this exact tactic used against me - it's very transparent when used and weakens your position.

  • I get what you're saying, and yet it exists and a term exists for it.

    I know there's no "nullification" verdict and the binary guilty/not guilty are the only recognized options, but nullification is used to describe the not guilty verdict despite any charges and evidence in a trial, which I'm sure you understand.

  • I don't think her decision to take the deal took into account whether jury nullification exists or not. The way you explained it sounds like retrocausality, though I don't know if that's the way you meant it.

    Jury nullification isn't about fair outcomes, I should clarify, but about whether the law itself is lawful, representative of the people, or applied lawfully. Maybe that fits into the definition of fair I had in mind, but I was thinking on it more objectively, not subjectively.

    There are proponents and opponents within the United States, true, but if a legal system does not permit punishment of jurors, then jury nullification is a logical byproduct of the system. And an important one I would argue. It fits into why trials by jury are important in a democratic legal system - the people have the final say, whether they realize it or not.

  • Whether a jury feels a charge is fair is the whole reason trial by a jury of peers exists.

    It's a feature of the system, not a bug.

  • ICANN approves use of .internal domain for your network

    Jump

  • That I agree with. Microsoft drafted the recommendation to use it for local networks, and Apple ignored it or co-opted it for mDNS.

  • Macs aren't the only thing that use mDNS, either. I have a host monitoring solution that I wrote that uses it.

  • Yeah, that's why I started using .lan.

  • I was using .local, but it ran into too many conflicts with an mDNS service I host and vice versa. I switched to .lan, but I'm certainly not going to switch to .internal unless another conflict surfaces.

    I've also developed a host-monitoring solution that uses mDNS, so I'm not about to break my own software. 😅

  • I consider it a big deal. I'm clicking "Not Now" buttons all day when I just want to use a piece of software for its main purpose. And then because it says "Not Now" I get asked again and again and again.

  • Thank you! I was struggling to remember the proposal name.

  • Google was working on a feature that would do just that, but I can't recall the name of it.

    They backed down for now due to public outcry, but I expect they're just biding their time.

  • What's the best affordable pre-built mini server?

    Jump

  • It depends on the model you run. Mistral, Gemma, or Phi are great for a majority of devices, even with CPU or integrated graphics inference.

  • Now the question is - are they open sourcing the original Winamp, or the awful replacement?
