Is that a fact? Are you sure? Will you recant if it comes out that the police did, in fact, plant it?

Nitpick the lawyer’s phrasing all you like; it won’t actually change any of the facts of the case, whatever they may be. Myself, I’m not going to jump to “why bother having a trial? The police arrested him; he’s clearly guilty as sin” based on a Lemmy comment!

Almost like the lawyer thinks “they didn’t follow procedure” is an easier legal argument than “the police dept is trying to frame my client”.

Ah, gotcha, yeah, that makes sense.

My own city has pretty good bike lane coverage, but it’s similar – cars have to cross over the bike lane to get into the turn lane.

Basic decency…gah. Yeah, I wish. :(

Not sure what “American car centrism” has to do with Chinese traffic regulations tbh

I found this article. My takeaways were:

1. No driving in bus lanes during certain times of day.
2. No using the shoulder as a turn lane.
3. No using a bike lane as a turn lane.

I think lack of goodwill plays into this, too. A lot of smaller sites can get away with stuff like “OK guys, the servers aren’t free, so we need to run ads.” and then have people super thrilled with them if there’s an option to limit or disable ads for donors.

On reddit, I think the attitude would basically be “get fucked, spez!”

Ah, yep, def when they called it Firefox.

This was essentially my same reaction to that comment. All I can think is that they imagined that this post said something like “Firefox bad because DEI CEO!” and reacted without actually reading the post.

Which … I mean, given the world we currently live in, is probably being said somewhere. But on this post, it’s a HECK of a non-sequitur.

Ah, back in the Mozilla Phoenix days? Or shortly after the Firebird->Firefox rename?

no more to do with technology than CEOs of wood pulp factories have to do with literature.

This has me envisioning a literature community filled with stories like “Random House and Penguin merging” (I know, old news), “Layoffs at PRH”, etc.
