There is a not insignificant (at least by noise level) portion of the Iranian Diaspora that want the US to invade specifically to install Reza Pahlavi as King. I know because they are harassing my wife on social media when she posts her position which is as you described. You are right in that the majority don't want a war like this, but Royalists specifically (including the prince of nothing himself ) seem to actually believe that this would be a good thing.

You only have to look at what happened around Huda Beauty, when their Iraqi owner said the same thing you are saying.

Yes. Those are not supported in mumble. For those we'd probably pop up a jitsi session.

My gaming friend group is 8 or 9 people. When you want to hang out digitally, you just jump in our discord and see who is currently playing. You jump in the channel, join the conversation. If the others are currently in a match that can't be hot joined, someone will put on a stream for you, so you can watch and have an easier time joining the conversation.

Sometimes a friend is playing a game that you don't own or they want to show you. Easily done with a stream. Streaming on Discord is very useful to us.

We use the webcam feature for our Tabletop Roleplaying Sessions.

One "feature" that Discord has that will be missed by our small community: Being able to see who is in a voice call without having to join it.

We have spent the last week exploring alternatives and it looks like we will be using a combination of self hosted matrix and mumble unless self hosted stoat gets voice very soon.

It opens the door for arbitrary enforcement. In the theoretical world where these guys may have to justify themselves in a court of law, they can say "he was in the domestic terrorist database, so we were justified in pinning him down with 5 guys while another guy shot him in the back after disarming him."

Specifically where it relates to violent crime.

Essentially it is supposed to make statements like the following a rule violation:

"If someone murdered [fictional person] they would totally get acquitted because any jury would just nullify the charges."

While the following sentence would not be a violation of TOS:

"The murderer of UHC CEO Brian Thompson should get acquitted via Jury Nullification because [reasons] and this is super dope."

The first example could be read as a call to violence, while the 2nd is not calling for a crime.

As I understand it "All future jurors in money laundring cases should nullify, because tax evasion is... like... super cool" would also be legal, because money laundring is not a violent crime.

The toolset they use to run their containerlike system wrapping the games is called "pressure vessel".

I'm not going to tell you that you're managing your information wrong. I would physically die if I had ever more than 20 tabs (my ADHD couldn't handle it).

But I think you might be using the wrong tool. A browser (like Firefox) is not really designed as an information manager. It's primary purpose is navigating and visualizing web pages. So when you talk about "a few megabytes of text and images" thats not what your browser sees. Your browser handles more than just the text and images. It also handles fetching and prefetching, a browser history for every tab, a JS context and much much more.

What you want is some kind of personalized archiving system that processes websites into machine processable (ie searchable) structures. Firefox is not that. Maybe data hoarder communities will have the answers you seek.

Yes. But the state still has to prove that what you did was a) a Nazi thing and b) that you either knew or should have known it was so.

So if you show the Hitler salute, you'll be arrested and fined. If you give a speech in which you suggest that immigrants need to learn "the liberating power of work" (referencing the Motto of Auschwitz "Arbeit macht Frei" "Work makes Free") that is totally fine.

It gets better. He resold one of the paintings in question for a profit of 320 million$. He is suing because his speculative profit wasn't big enough.
