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.

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

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.

Notably absent from Walz’s speech was any real substance on foreign policy

It’s not the VPs place to introduce policy proposals, that’s the job of whoever is at the top of the ticket.

That said most Americans rank Gaza low on their list of priorities, so expect Harris to focus on issues they find important like women’s rights and housing.

Great news!

Apropos nothing:

The Republicans are falling in line with disgraced ex-president Donald Trump’s personal hatred of Ukraine—and equally personal fondness for authoritarian Russia. The Republicans’ allegiance to Trump—and therefore to dictators and military aggressors—wasn’t an issue for Ukraine until they narrowly gained control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the November 2022 elections. When earlier funding for Ukraine ran out in late December, Rep. Mike Johnson—the extremist House speaker—refused to put additional aid to a vote.

The direct language is a pleasant surprise, and honestly more than I expected from FORBES. Have they always been this willing to call out Trump and his enablers?
