In the simplest sense, a separation of duties. If the judge was to be the sole decider of what is worth consideration then you have this individual functioning as an unquestioned king.

No single person is going to know every case, consider every angle, and have an inclination to pursue all points of view. Even the supreme court receives amicus briefs to guide a case.

An attorney has a duty to get the best possible outcome for their client, even if they disagree with what the client may have done. A single person judiciary could never have that position because they are effectively advocating both sides to themselves.

Tooke a bit to explain to my kid why I was giggling when I realized the spirit of B&B was alive in a show he was watching.

You wouldn’t have happened to grow up watching a lot of Beavis and Butthead did you?

This user particularly has been a lot of them that I’ve seen.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone defend the system in play, just recognizing that it exists and until it’s changed in whatever means possible that playing the protest/spoiler is likely to make things worse.

I think I get what you mean, but validating the origin of a particular piece wouldn’t do much for verifying the content. So such of the misinfo that’s put out is taking some small snip of a broader story and reframing it in a way that makes the situation out differently.

You’re comparing oranges and peaches here.

Where’s the food crimes comm when you need it?

Don’t pee on the scissors you use to cut your eggs, didn’t mama tell you that?

I can feel the Facebook oozing through this post

Their news, or world news, I forget exactly, has been the first long time subscribed comm I finally ditched. Anything posted there with a relation to the USA is going to inevitably devolve into ‘western imperialism’, ‘dems evil’, ‘china supreme’ etc. With any dissenting commentary being at best piled on to say how wrong it is, and just as likely deleted.

Generally yes, but it can be useful as a learning thing. A lot of my homelab use is for purposes of practicing with different techs in a setting where if it melts down it’s just your stuff. At work they tend to take offense of you break prod.

I’ve used MinIO as the object store on both Lemmy and Mastodon, and in retrospect I wonder why. Unless you have clustered servers and a lot of data to move it’s really just adding complexity for the sake of complexity. I find that the bigger gains come from things like creating bonded network channels and sorting out a good balance in the disk layout to keep your I/O in check.
