Holy fuck. Because for some fucking reason, the goddamned director of the fucking central intelligence agency doesn’t fucking know that just because you’re able doesn’t mean you should.

Never fucking mind also apparently just not fucking knowing about the JWICS that’s designed for this exact motherfucking purpose.

‘Fuck’ count: 7

(Sorry, couldn’t resist. 😋 😇 I get your anger though; agree.)

From the article …

On March 23rd, as Mr Imamoglu was being moved to a maximum-security prison on the city’s outskirts, the opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) staged a primary election to confirm him as its candidate in the next presidential elections, scheduled for 2028. It was open to all voters, not just CHP members. The party said 15m Turks took part.

… and …

Meral, a housewife, joined the protests with her daughter, a university student. “This is not about Imamoglu or the CHP,” she says. “This is because our right to vote and to be elected is being taken away.”

Paywalled.

That question/point is answered in the link that I supplied above.

There also a comment from a mod in there that you should read.

Amongst other things, yes.

Activision User Research Union-CWA is the first group of video game user researchers to form a union

So what exactly about their users do they research?

Ahh, ok. Thanks. Was focusing on the body/paragraph of the text.

I get the meme, but I don’t know how to apply it to this post.

Could someone elaborate?

Man, this current age of AI really sucks.

From the article …

GNOME sysadmin Bart Piotrowski shared on Mastodon that only about 3.2 percent of requests (2,690 out of 84,056) passed their challenge system, suggesting the vast majority of traffic was automated.

I think Jodie Whittaker is amazing.

Personally I think she could have been amazing, but unfortunately wasn’t, but still good.

It almost felt like she was being directed so much, based on all the controversies going on and everything, that she didn’t get to do her own version of the Doctor really, she was very constrained and “boxed in”, if you know what I mean? She never got a chance to grow into the role, the way she could have.

And IMO the writing was mostly bad, which didn’t help her out any.

The last two doctors were poor and the writing even worse.

The actors were/are fine.

The writing/directing, not so much.

And this is coming from someone who thought Tom Baker’s first two seasons were the best Doctor Who ever.

Double check me on this, but I think they have a “-site:” parameter that you can use in your searches.

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

Lemmy is a lot of different inter-connected sites, most of which don’t even contain “Lemmy” in their name, making it a much more difficult ask.

A search engine could easily enough set up their own Lemmy server to search from. Same with Mastodon.

I notice you asked for an explanation and then only sort-of read the first sentence.

No, I read the whole thing, fully. I just disagreed with your analogy, thought it was a bad one, too verbose and obfuscating of the subject being talked about. Also it didn’t cover someone searching your belongings with/without your permission, the subject being talked about. Law officials have more legal leeway to detain you than they do to search your belongings without your permission, so your analogy doesn’t work (especially when you throw in beatings into it).

Also, didn’t think your last paragraph was legally accurate, but didn’t want to bother arguing the point, since ‘amendment > law > policy/rule’ is a well-known given. I’m aware of the difference. When I asked my original question, it was to confirm if the border enforcement people were actually honoring the 4th amendment, or not, whatever their thought processes were.

I did appreciate you taking the time to reply (and civilly at that) though, thank you. P.S. I hope the tone of my reply wasn’t too harsh, it wasn’t meant to be rude, just straightforward.

“May I have your permission to search through your phone?”

“Yes.”

Consent in a situation like this is difficult to establish, to the point of it being pointless.

Hard disagree.

Did they ask him if they could search and he said yes, or no? Or did they just take his device away from him and did a search without his permission?

Consenting to a search, or have one mandated by a judge’s order, is one of the fundamental pillars of citizen rights and laws in this country.

Was it a legal or illegal search? That’s not a pointless question to ask.
