@Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange yes, loved that insightful reply by @marjolica@social.linux.pizza . Here in .nl by the way, health insurers have to pay the doctor or hospital directly and if it turns out something wasn’t covered, have to try and get the money back from the insured. Simple rule to turn that burden of evidence around. @kibcol1049@mstdn.social

@avuko@infosec.exchange @Nonilex@masto.ai I’m probably slightly older so I remember the Soviet Union being right next door and my grandparents fought in the war. So I do very much appreciate where we would have been without America (and Canada, Britain and other allies - where I grew up there’s a Canadian war cemetery in the woods).
But unfortunately the time has come to consign that to history as far as the US is concerned. The guy was elected twice, so this is no accident. There’ll be others.

@sinabhfuil@mastodon.ie @robertklaschka@mastodon.online @pluralistic@mamot.fr In the UK. They had a referendum on a really nice system with transferable votes, but it was lost badly.
Replying to
@sinabhfuil@mastodon.ie
@sinabhfuil@mastodon.ie @robertklaschka@mastodon.online @pluralistic@mamot.fr didn’t that dreaded coalition government propose a system like that, but it was voted down in a referendum? I found that amazing, voters rejected having far more power and freedom.
Replying to
@sinabhfuil@mastodon.ie
@sinabhfuil@mastodon.ie @robertklaschka@mastodon.online @pluralistic@mamot.fr Thing is, I just looked at the results, Labour+Greens got 35% while Reform got 26%. But due to the left splitting its votes, Reform won big. You’ve got to wonder if that’s wise.
Replying to
@sinabhfuil@mastodon.ie
@sinabhfuil@mastodon.ie @robertklaschka@mastodon.online @pluralistic@mamot.fr I don’t follow the UK too closely that’s true, but I suspect there’s also a lot of the purity testing going on that always costs the left its power
Replying to
@robertklaschka@mastodon.online
@robertklaschka@mastodon.online @pluralistic@mamot.fr clearly you are not used to coalitions, the response to that happening one time in the UK, and involving, you know, compromises, was a thing to behold from across the North Sea where we've never had one-party rule

@da_667 Wow, I was arguing basically that exact thing at work last Friday. We’re still dealing with the same stuff aren’t we? And attackers get more mileage out of detailed bug disclosures than defenders, definitely, that’s an uncomfortable truth for sure. So, prepare to be called a heretic. 🙂

@jef@mastodon.social
@jef I think he just really admires raw power and, as @Remittancegirl rightly said, is not bound by any loyalty. Not that I’m a psychologist in any way, but it’s just the simplest explanation for the fact that he seems to like a whole bunch of dictators.
Replying to
@passenger@kolektiva.social
@passenger @Remittancegirl very insightful - I would add to that mix that there is a weird tendency for dominant powers to feel like they’re being taken advantage of by others, merely through their existence as a smaller but independent out-group

@evacide Abuse of law enforcement data is always happening because a lot of people have access and the temptation is huge. So it’s pretty important for a democracy that whenever someone is caught, the consequences are swift, severe, and public.
