If the state can prove that he undoubtedly did it, he should be punished.

If the state's case is weak enough to leave some lingering doubts, he should walk.

The defense doesn't have to prove anything. Their job is to cast doubt on whatever the state claims.

That's how our justice system works.

Are any of the photos from the crime scene?

Because if you find a guy who matches "photo of guy getting coffee", you still don't have evidence that he's a killer. You have evidence that he got some coffee.

It's $300 less, not $300 more.

No matter how much you are paying, you can afford to pay $300 less.

A discount of $60000 is not "nothing at all". At current rates, it's about $300 off your monthly payment.

Just google "foreclosure auction" in your area. Those houses will generally sell below market.

Nothing in ActivityPub says you can't move your content from one platform to another.

Your content in ActivityPub is linked to the home instance. So for example I can't move this post from lemmy.world to another server. I could copy/paste the content into a new post on another server, but it would be a broken piece of our conversation with no context or replies.

Also, hosting a ATProto self-instance is not as expensive as you suggest. This person did it for $150/month.

Regarding the alleged missing features of ActivityPub

There are significant differences in account portability. ActivityPub allows you to transfer your followers to a new server, but not your content.

only rich folks or those who are willing to accept money from venture capitalists

Or non-profits that are willing to accept money from supporters.

ActivityPub already existed when they started BlueSky. They chose to not make their protocol compatible.

Because AT protocol has features that are incompatible with ActivityPub, and those features are important to some users.

"Tesla is going down the toilet" is not insider information.

“The market is having trouble digesting the multidimensional chess that Trump and his team are playing,” said Michael Block, market strategist at Third Seven Capital. “This multidimensional chess game is not going well for the grand master.

LOL, you aren't playing 3D chess when you flip a chessboard.

Of all the news in the past weeks, "5% of Democrats join Republicans in an inconsequential vote" is the least of my concerns.

The first line of your link:

Being part of the Kingdom of Denmark

Not the Netherlands.

The Netherlands does not in any way control Greenland...

Why is Greenland bound to a treaty signed by the Netherlands?

Nobody promised Trump would end up in prison. There was a very good chance that a cultist on his jury would have refused to convict. Or he might have been found guilty only on lesser charges and ended up paying a fine. Juries are unpredictable and often disappointing, from OJ Simpson to Kyle Rittenhouse.

It sounds like you expected the judicial system to do what voters failed to do. But the judicial system can't stop Trump from being elected president. That was our responsibility as voters. Don't blame judges when they can't clean up our mess.

Trump has lost several court cases already, and many are just getting started. For example, today Cathy Harris was reinstated to the Merit Systems Protection Board.

If you expect the judicial system to broadly restore the status quo under Biden, then you're probably going to be disappointed. Any victories will be on a case-by-case basis. That's literally how the judicial system operates.

All arrests end with an appearance before a judge. If it's obvious baloney, the judge will dismiss.

There is no need for judges to target anyone yet, because the Trump admin hasn't been found in contempt.

Again, judges are used to threats and I don't think they would find "domestic drone strike" to be a particularly credible response to "pay your workers or I'll write the check myself".

Because that's what we're talking about here: paying people. If you expect judges to completely reverse what Trump is doing, you're going to be disappointed. They can't do it.

And yes, part of the legal process is that lawyers are allowed to delay and judges have to put up with it. But they aren't allowed to openly defy the judge. And so far, no Trump lawyer has done so.

Trump can't pardon employees who are found in contempt of court. Trump might not lose sleep, but the employees will. Most employees, even Trump supporters, won't take an assignment that will lead to losing their life savings.
