The core of the story has to be technology focused.

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

So presumption of innocence is officially dead (along with rule of law generally).

Also dead:

  • Privacy
  • Probable cause

When did non-white people ever have those in america? Those are privileges afforded to those of a certain melanin composition, not all americans equally. People who thought they benefited from so-called 'universal' liberties are quickly finding out that it was never universal to begin with. "Rights" have never been "universal" guarantees for American people. Not once in the history of this nation have rights been 'universally' applied. They have been case-by-case applied, and often people of a certain melanin composition benefited from the 'universal right' while others don't have the 'universal' aspect of those rights applied to them. This is not a coincidence and it is beneficial to no one to think it's just a coincidence—well at least it's not beneficial to anyone worth benefiting.

"All men are created equal"... except those ones over there

  • Free speech and free expression.
  • Press freedom.
  • If this incident is a sign of things to come, and they start going after Linux phones or tablets and Linux or BSD desktops or laptops next, device ownership.

Hey, I have no sympathy for people who do BSD to each other. That's just vile sexual abnormality! 🤢

[–] DFX4509B@lemmy.wtf 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

You know full well what BSD I meant...

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Not only that, I wouldn't know what it could mean otherwise 😅

[–] A_be_seedy@beehaw.org 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't know what it means in either context tbh. #justsweetsummerchildthings

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It's an operating system. macOS is based on it for example.

[–] A_be_seedy@beehaw.org 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

And what's it mean in terms of sex things?

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 1 points 4 hours ago

Nothing, don't know. Dumb joke on BDSM vs BSD

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 11 hours ago

It's okay, we're still afraid to fuck off and die. They just don't say that part out loud because the dead can't pay taxes.

As I've said before, welcome to the Reich.
