It is different though. Germany post WWI was doing poorly. USA, for now, is a strong bully. This more akin to sanctions on Russia, say.
I think.
I think prisons have to be reformed in almost every country, including my own (Canada). Prison should fill one or both of these roles:
My point that i want to make is that the punishment should not exceed simply limiting freedom. Prison should protect prisoners from violence. Prison should allow prisoners to live fulfilling lives while there in prison. Prison rape should not be a fact of life in prison. Prison should not dehumanise prisoners. Prison should guard all rights of prisoners (apart from freedom of movement). Prisoners can't be forced to do work or even follow a routine. Etc.
Unfortanutely, it seems things are so fucked up that not many have time to seriously fight for prisoner's rights (including me).
I think the statistic of 3.5 is more of a symptom rather than the cause of a regime's fall. For 3.5% to protest means that:
Probably other reasons.
I am not sure how PieFed does it. I hope someone more familiar with the actual protocol can shed some light.
What is important here is whether private votes from the same profile are associated with the same voter ID. PieFed accounts have two subaccounts, a public posting account, and a private voting account. When voting on a Lemmy post, the anonymous voting profile is used. There are multiple ways to do this:
(the way your post assumes) Assign a unique ID x to every voting profile, and every vote by the same ID x gets tagged with x. This is easily traceable, like you said. Even if auto-upvoting of one's own posts is not done, one can still gather a lot of information about the voter.
Do the same as 1, but, do not tag the vote directly with the voter's ID x. Instead, encrypt/hash the ID x so that the voter ID tag is different for every vote, but could be decrypted by the hosting instance to get the original ID x.
From my understanding, it is 2. 2 is better for privacy, with a caveat. Admins would still have the ability to deanonymise private voting IDs.
It is true, it seems, that Nicotine treats ADHD. There is at least one study that showed nicotine patches (18h and 24h ones) provide a mild to moderate relief for ADHD in people that do not use nicotine otherwise (e.g. nonsmokers). So, it doesn't just treat the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
Cigarette smoke is known to contain a clinically significant amount of MAO inhibiters that are not nicotine. MAO inhibiters are regularly used to treat depression and anxiety, and theoretically could treat ADHD since MAOI's generally prevent breakdown of dopamine. There is some nuance here.*
It's stupid. Sure, one could argue that nationwide injunctions are overreach, but they are necessary to limit the otherwise unlimited executive order power. The real overreach that needs to be removed is the executive order power. Nationwide injunctions would not be as necessary if laws were actually created and voted on by congress.
