The only way this wouldn’t meet the definition of ‘execution’ is if it were an accidental shooting, which I find hard to believe when it involved 2 dead. Are you confusing the word ‘execution’ with ‘assassination’, which would imply there was both planning and pre-selection of the targets? No one is saying this was an assassination.
The first two sentences of the article:
Two people have been shot dead in the Belgian capital Brussels on Monday evening, police have said.
The gunman fled the scene and is still at large. Prosecutors say they are treating the shooting as terrorism.
Does a gunman shooting and killing 2 people not meet your definition of ‘executed’?
To keep the analogy going, they would have to have raped and beheaded the occupants of the death star before actually blowing them up…and the Death Star would have to have been an Imperial tourist destination with not just Imperial citizens, but also visiting citizens from all across the galaxy…but if that’s what George Lucas had filmed, I think there would have been a lot less sympathy for the rebels.

Ghazi Hamad, a Hamas spokesman, meanwhile told the BBC that the group had direct backing for the attack from Iran.
What are you getting at here? The people who executed the attack said Iran helped plan it.
Corporations should be held responsible for the emissions caused by their employee’s commuting.
This would really change the discussion about return to office.
That wasn’t an apology. He believes people are slaves, the only thing he regrets is getting caught on video saying it out loud.
From the article:
Over 400,000 Russians arrived in Phuket between January and July this year
Wow! Almost half a million. The native population of Phuket is only 140,000.
Are they political activists, pacifists, or just cowards? Probably some from each category, but I’d wager most of them aren’t actual political activists protesting the actions of their government.
And friends of mine have said, you are the most honest person in the world.
LMFAO. Does the world have recorded audio or recorded video of any other human being in the history of humanity making more provably false statements than trump? No. If there was a Guinness world record for lying, trump would be the record holder.
Your comment is textbook sealioning.
Gennady Lopyrev, 69, had been due for parole but was reportedly diagnosed with leukaemia on August 14 and died two days later.
Polonium-210 poisoning manifests as rapid onset leukemia…what a coincidence!
Without water how will we ever make Brawndo?
Here are some basic definitions:
Instance: a Lemmy server with its collection of local users and local communities
Federation: allowing users of one instance the ability to participate and interact with the content and users of another instance
Defederation: “blocking” an entire instance and its users from participating and interacting with the content and users of another instance.
Every instance maintains a publicly visible “instances” list where you can see which instances are allowed/federated (listed as “Linked Instances” and which other instances are disallowed/defederated (listed as “Blocked Instances”. That list is always at the same predictable URL for every instance ( https://[instance]/instances ). For Lemmy.World, that list would be at https://lemmy.world/instances.
Instances operators also have the ability to surgically block specific users or specific communities from other instances. This doesn’t mean they have ‘defederated’, it just means they have blocked a specific use or instance. These are considered moderation activities and show up in an instance’s moderation log (also called the “modlog”). Every instance’s modlog is public and visible at the predictable URL of https://[instance]/modlog. For Lemmy.World, the modlog would be at https://lemmy.world/modlog. The modlog has a “filter by action” dropdown making it easy to find certain types of moderation activities. If you search the modlog for “removing communities” you can see the communities that an instance has removed or blocked.
In the case of the piracy communities, they were removed from Lemmy.world, but federation still exists between Lemmy.world and the other instances where those blocked communities still exist.
You specifically cite the example of piracy going away as a reason for wanting to compare instance’s defederations, but that activity had nothing to do with defederation. Lemmy.world is still federated with the instances that hosted the piracy communities.
Are you just talking about dynamic DNS services for one or a few home servers?
There’s always DynDNS, but that’s a paid service. I actually discovered that dynamic IP address service was provided free by Google when using Google Domains as the registrar, so I moved a few of my private domains over to Google several years ago to save myself $55 a year.
Unfortunately, Google Domains is shutting down and all registrar services and existing customer domains are getting moved to squarespace and I’ve not yet been able to determine if squarespace is going to be offering the free dynamic DNS service or not.
