Well said.

Absolutely.

All fair.

I prefer pots, tbh.

There will always be something to pick at, and with the number of trolls on here to inflame and manipulate any legitimate concerns, i highly suspect the troll farms and related pawns would find something to bitch about.

The fact is, not everyone has the EQ to state the issue perfectly clearly in terms everyone can accept.

“No, do you really expect me to look past what Russia is doing? Absolutely fucking no,” is basically reasonable.

I mean, do you? This is a violation by Russia of another sovereign state. Thus, everyone in Russia is affected by the consequences of that action.

The Russian kernel coders, no matter their innocence, are subjects of a nation that can compel them to misbehave.

Now, if they were leaving Russia and defecting, that’s another matter, where they are pulling their individual sovereignty away from the Russian state.

He followed legal advice from lawyers and removed some russians from being kernel maintainers to comply with sanctions.

Ooh, typo. I’ll edit it so that those who fulfill these kinds of things know not to glass your home.

Trilium. You’ll be glass you tried it.

It’s not about punishing Russia, is admit preventing vulnerability to a country that has an ongoing effort to compromise infosec.

Not at all saying Israel doesn’t suck balls right now.

What was that old adage: “i may not hold the opinion you do, but I will defend your right to hold that opinion.”

I suppose my view on it is similar:

If you believe that a psychological stance should be punished physically, it might behoove you to realize that you are only permitted to hold that opinion by the good graces of those who, rightly, stand ready to destroy you if you try to enforce that view physically.

Clearly they watch it because they enjoy causing terror. They’re basically putting themselves in the shoes of the antagonist, and these movies make our more likely that they will take action on these impulses.

Physical crimes need to be addressed physically.

Psychological crimes need to be addressed psychologically.

Your psycho-pass is clouding, and your crime coefficient is well over 100.

It’s not that we had enough power to guarantee we would make an impact. It’s that we had enough power that we should have tried.

OK, be annoyed with me then.

What I’m saying is “if the state is going to execute people, then nitrogen asphyxiation is an excellent and humane choice, provided that the state performs the execution properly.”

I am not saying anything beyond that. I’m not saying that this specific execution was performed properly. I wouldn’t really trust the state to say it was done right, or a reporter to day it was done wrong.

People (and animals) can jerk and twitch when they die. They can gasp and breathe heavily even, sometimes. They are unconscious by that point if asphyxiation is done right. Look into hypoxia, there’s a ton of documentation on it, video and otherwise, including direct accounts.

The only thing we can do to make it more humane is a: ensure the method is implemented correctly, and b: provide a choice of methods to the person to be executed.

Of course, that’s aside from the question of whether the state is capable of correctly evaluating who should be killed in the first place.

Firstly, death causes twitching. And it’s not fucking pretty. Most animals, humans included, have a very wide array of stuff that their body does even after they are fully unconscious. It’s not at all surprising that bystanders were freaked out, even in ideal circumstances.

You should really look into apoxia. When done right (and I’m not arguing that the execution in the article was done right), it’s a minute, maybe two. And that’s probably less time than you’d spend on a firing line.

The reality is that there simply is no “perfect” way to kill someone who doesn’t want to die. We could give them a choice, possibly, but will they even choose?

Nitrogen asphyxiation, done right, is humane. There is no pain. But one way or the other, the person’s gonna know it’s happening, no matter the method used to execute them.

Again, none of this is to condone execution as a consequence of crime. I don’t think the state is qualified to make the call.

Ah. Bad title, then.

I just learned about the fans, and my plans to get a framework next time tanked.
