>You can be protected by safe harbour provisions, or you can editorialise your content. I don't think you should have both.

Hi. You seem to be confused or uninformed. Check out this link[0]. IT should help.

>You can be protected by safe harbour provisions, or you can editorialise your content. *I don't think* you should have both.

Personal opinion, not legal opinion.

Fair enough. But not very charitable (or helpful/useful to freedom of speech) to anyone who doesn't have billions in cash on hand to fight the hundreds/thousands of lawsuits anyone who doesn't like what the thoughts of others that you (or I) choose to host on our platforms, whether they be web sites, mailing lists or video comment sections.

Section 230 protects the little guy much more than it does Meta, Alphabet, Musk, etc. As they have the deep pockets to fight those lawsuits. Do you? I don't.


>Again, if you read the TFA, the entire thesis is that the insider trading is extra bad beyond corruption. The corruption itself only gets a passing mention.

I did and that's not at all what TFA argues. It argues that it's the corruption that's the problem, which is exacerbated by the lack of legal enforcement by the current administration -- mostly because many in that administration are either actively involved in said corruption, or happy to cover it up/pooh pooh it.

I suppose you might think that some folks who haven't read TFA might buy your analysis, even though it's pretty much the opposite of what Krugman argues.

You go, girlfriend!


>So, yeah. "Must earn their worth" may sound "Christian", but it's not Christianity.

Blasphemer! That's the primary tenet of the "Prosperity Gospel"[0], the primary form of Christianity in the US.

For shame! You will burn in hell for that. Unless you donate $100,000.00 to Creflo Dollar[1] right now!

>While I recognize the community value of religion and the comfort it brings people, it comes at a huge cost that far outweighs the benefits. IMHO, organized religion is a cancer on modern society. I think there's other ways to get the good parts from it but that's a team effort.

   Those who abandon the Path are evil.

   Those who reject the path to enlightenment must be destroyed!
Hallowed are the Ori!


>I don't think anyone in 1776, or even in the Pilgrim days, was thinking a foreigner should have the right to vote for instance.

Nor does anyone in 2026. Your point?


>Policing is a dangerous job, just not for everyone all the time on the whole

Actually, it doesn't even make the top 25[0]. So no, not really all that dangerous. Being around police, especially with a high melanin content is definitely more dangerous than being police.

To channel George Carlin: "It's not that I don't like the police, I just feel better when they're not around."

>each taxpayer could adjust little sliders on each category to allocate where they personally would like their taxes to go.

If that were the case, I'd go all in on hookers and blow.

Way to non-sequitur! You go, girlfriend!


If you can get it where you are, have you considered trying malta[0][1]?

I have tried malta, and I like it. But it's a bit sweeter. I think it's a worthwhile substitute if you don't want the fun of trying to make something that might go wrong.


See the (relatively short ~3 minutes) discussion here[0].

That should remove your confusion.

>I have donated ... multiple times. I wish there was a way to keep the "Please Donate" from popping up if we have donated within the last N days, weeks, months, etc.

Just to be clear, you're asking for Thunderbird to track all of its users and link them to the dates of payment, payment amounts and payment methods of all of its donors on all of their platforms so that you don't see a pop up once or twice a year? Is that correct?

I'm not being snarky here, but AFAICT you really didn't think that through.

How about a local option being able to opt out of fundraising popups instead? No tracking required. Perhaps you might file a feature request for either of the above?
