your worldview is so black and white.

yes, lynching can be fine in some niche circumstances, like this one.

killing can be acceptable depending on the reason. most lynchings are horrible and evil, but this is an obvious exception.

when keeping slaves was legal, if some slaves rose up to kill their master, would that be acceptable? I say obviously yes, you would say “well what they were doing is legal so this is a lynching and therefore immoral!”

was the american revolution immoral? They murdered a lot of people! If someone is depriving you of your human rights, such as healthcare, killing is justified.

so no, lynchings are not universally evil. Killing is not universally evil. There are some universally evil things, but some evil things can be justified. Killing is one of those, there is nuance, and every case must be looked at individually.

Was there even a shred of a doubt that he wasn’t guilty of mass murder? Does anyone doubt that this person was in charge of this mass murder?

Is there even a 1% chance that he isn’t guilty of mass murder?

Beyond all reasonable doubt happened, this is no less legitimate than state-sanctioned violence. Again, i’d prefer the courts handle this… but this type of mass murder is perfectly legal.

The only question is, does this count as murder? and the answer is obvious, he’s killing people for more money, it should.

Lynching is bad, but there are exceptions for every rule, and this is an obvious exception. In this case, he killed to help save lives, so, there’s nothing wrong with that.

but this man hardly was the sole reason his healthcare company chose this policy

He was proud of it and could’ve done anything to prevent it. This company leads in false denials over all others.

You are blaming an individual for institutional issues

An individual at the top of an institution that does it with literally no remorse.

If he was not willing to implement them he would be removed.

Then get removed and work in another industry.

But this is hardly relevant, this is, from a legal standpoint, murder, and thank God it is, since no sensible person would want to live in a society where someone can just murder anyone because of ideological convictions and political goals.

No, in a sensible society what he’s doing would legally be murder, so, we wouldn’t have to do anything like this in the first place.

But from a moral standpoint this is, of course, still murder.

Justified murder, an act of defense of others.

We denounce the use of the capital punishment on the most horrible criminals, but when a CEO is murdered on the street, without trial, suddenly death is perfectly fine as a punishment.

He’s one of the worst possible criminals and deserved the death penalty. This country just doesn’t believe that mass murder is wrong as long as you’re making money off of it.

This is not “defense” of anything.

It’s a rejection of the notion that these CEO’s aren’t mass-murderers. They are, vigilante justice had to happen because there was no justice happening elsewise. If the courts were planning on doing anything, planning on doing a trial against this obvious murderer, then you’d have a point.

It’s not murder if you’re defending someone, this was a defense of countless against a mass murderer who planned to continue killing without remorse

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary

Element x is pretty solid but not perfect, matrix-rust-sdk needs to have desktop clients, servers need to support all the new stuff, I give element 5 years before it’s a top tier messenger

Exactly what I was here to write, had so much fun with that

I used mine all the time because I hate using bluetooth even though I have expensive bluetooth headphones, I have now cancelled you out

How?

it’s essentially a federated messenger, just like lemmy is a federated reddit.

It’s likely you can get that proprietary software working, if you want to try.

Honestly, your usage of linux since 1999 is why I don’t trust you know what’s best for beginners. I give tons of people linux, mostly the elderly, cinnamon has been an absolutely terrible experience for them. You’re highly experienced and used to something that works for you, the best choice for beginners changes more than you do.

but what it does, it does well.

Can you not say this about fedora/bazzite?

The same can not be said about other distros in conjunction to care-free users.

The very purpose of an immutable distro is to stop carefree users from doing exactly that, until mint makes an immutable distro, it simply isn’t the best choice for beginners.

Do they not care about mixed refresh rate displays, mixed dpi displays, the security issues involved in x11, etc? I think they will prefer if those things just work. Mint doesn’t have that, sure what works works well, but that’s true for fedora/bazzite too… and more works.

i don’t trust them either but from what i have seen most don’t care

They get this benefit for free on KDE. Even if they don’t care, it’s still better for them.

this is a bit of a stretch

I don’t see how it’s a stretch, someone was posting with basically this exact problem on one of the linux forums on lemmy like, last week. I don’t feel like digging up the post but this happens sometimes.

i don’t agree on everything and maybe you’re right i still don’t get why they dropped support for kde but still support MATE

Makes absolutely no sense for a beginner distro.
