kieron115@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Trump mandates flag burners face prosecution in one of biggest challenges to the First Amendment in decadesEnglish3·5 days agoActually it is law, it just isn’t generally enforced since it’s federal and not state/local law.
The United States Code is a consolidation and codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the United States. It is prepared by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the United States House of Representatives.

kieron115@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Trump mandates flag burners face prosecution in one of biggest challenges to the First Amendment in decadesEnglish8·5 days agoYes, as part of a flag retirement ceremony. Although the code allows for any form of “dignified” destruction.
§8. Respect for flag
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
(b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
© The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free, except as may be necessary in limited circumstances and done in a respectful manner as part of a military or patriotic observance.
(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
(f) The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
(h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
kieron115@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Trump mandates flag burners face prosecution in one of biggest challenges to the First Amendment in decadesEnglish71·5 days agoThere are a bunch of rules around the flag that nobody follows. Like it’s technically it’s a federal crime to wear clothing that displays the flag, but every redneck I’ve ever met has a pair of star spangled banner swim trunks. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/chapter-1

kieron115@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.English1·1 month agoManjaro was my first Arch distro and I enjoyed it until I found out about the issues with packages always being out of date. Switched over to EndeavourOS and have been loving it so far. It’s been “just working” for like two years now and even my 70 year old parents don’t notice a difference from Windoze when they borrow my laptop. In fact my dad is using it to do some Quicken work today (which was an adventure to get working. WineHQ community was super helpful though)

I can literally buy eggs from the source (there’s a farm nearby that “donates” a portion of their income directly to the chickens and puts it into quality of life upgrades for them) and it still costs me $4.50-5.00 a dozen depending on weight.

kieron115@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymoreEnglish3·1 month agoThanks for the response, good points all around. The fingerprinting is the most convincing argument to me but I think the accessibility issue you bring up is more important.
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymoreEnglish11·1 month agoI thought graceful degradation in terms of web design was mostly just to promote using the latest current browser features but to allow it to fall back to the feature set of, say, 1 or 2 previous browser versions. Not to support a user completely turning off a feature that has been around for literal decades? I think what you’re promoting is the “opposite” side, progressive enhancement, where the website should mostly work through the most basic, initial features and then have advanced features added later for supported browsers.
