  • International law is more like a code of conduct. Also as with most laws, if you’re powerful enough you can ignore the law.

  • International customary law applies even if you’re not a treaty member.

  • That’s not true. Customary international law also applies to states, that are not themselves members of a treaty. In the case of international maritime war and international humanitarian laws this is widely accepted as such.

  • Have you read your link?

    Geographically, the Strait of Hormuz is clearly what’s called a transit passage strait: it connects two open seas, has no alternative route, and is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Under transit passage rules, other countries have an almost unrestricted right to sail and fly through. Iran can barely interfere at all.

  • It’s considered international by international maritime law. Free passage, freedom of navigation is essential to trade and commerce.

    Iran‘s attack on international shipping is a breach of international law and an act of war.

    A blockade can be legal under international law, but it’s always an act of war. Demanding a toll to pass means it’s not a legal blockade.

  • People criticize Trump, ICE, Israel on Reddit all day every day. There are many subreddits dedicated to these topics.

  • Mods on Lemmy are at least as ban happy than those on Reddit. Appeals? They don’t exist at all. At least you can easily make a new account on different instance on Lemmy. Reddit has strong enforcement of also banning all accounts they can link to yours with cookie and IP.

    Lemmy admins are likely to comply with local law enforcement as well, if they have to. So far it’s just untested because of irrelevance.

  • Way ahead of you. I remember when The Half Blood Prince came out, there were leaked photographs of the whole book online a few days early. There was a massive collaborative transcription of the low quality photos into an ebook. Fun times.

  • The main reason I’m using Mint, the ancient NVIDIA card GT750M in my old laptop. Using the nouveau driver is buggy and slow, so I have to run the old NVIDIA binary drivers. These aren’t supported by newer kernel versions, so I‘m stuck on an old version. Wayland doesn’t run with the old NVIDIA driver in the first place because it lacks Vulkan support. The machine even has hybrid graphics with an Intel Iris Pro in addition to the NVIDIA card. However running only the Intel graphics seems to be impossible.
