Tb0n3@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@programming.dev•Court order snips out part of Wikipedia article, editors debate whether to frame shreds or pulp themEnglish4·29 days agoIs this some kind of “right to be forgotten” or expungement issue? What right does the court of Potugal have to order Wikipedia to delete information that may be true?
Tb0n3@sh.itjust.worksto news@endlesstalk.org•NJ woman sex trafficked as a teen sues Red Roof Inn, Motel 6 for ‘profiting’ from crimesEnglish3·29 days agoIf that’s true then they were complicit for sure.
Tb0n3@sh.itjust.worksto news@endlesstalk.org•NJ woman sex trafficked as a teen sues Red Roof Inn, Motel 6 for ‘profiting’ from crimesEnglish5·29 days agoWhile what happened to her was terrible, I’m not exactly sure what the cause of action would be. Saying staffers were “sometimes present for the abuse” could mean any number of things, like she was threatened when staff was nearby, or that they participated. This is kind of like blaming a gas station for facilitating human trafficking because the traffickers used cars.

Tb0n3@sh.itjust.worksto People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•We're sorry abuela, we don't know how to stop themEnglish2·30 days agoRemaining illegally in the country is a crime. When you say not a criminal, it’s not just not a violent criminal. Easy enough to say she’s not a violent criminal.
Tb0n3@sh.itjust.worksto news@endlesstalk.org•JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating tripEnglish1·1 month agoIf the river can be raised it often may be done for simply moving items on the river. Nothing unusual here. Lake dropped 2 inches to raise the depth 2ft for a short time.
Wasn’t there a mid-century sci-fi story about that? Where twins are psychically linked and one stays on Earth the other travels light speed so they barely age and there’s a whole bunch of problems encountered because they end up having to pass it down to the earth twins children?
