Okay, I don’t agree with what you said at all. But for argument’s sake, how do you justify that they arbitrarily can raise a fine to a substantial prison sentence? That doesn’t even make sense, not even by your logic. You just said what you think is just, two months of his wage.
So what did he do between insulting somebody and appealing in court that was so bad? Appealing in the first place?
I read a couple of answers here, but I thought I’d give my 2 cents anyway. I mostly agree with the others that said it’s not a big deal and seems to be a principle of hers.
I saw that you’re not from the US. In Germany, there’s an unwritten rule that you never bring any kind of food or beverage to a restaurant. We have other fun stuff like most restaurants not giving out free water or charging you for using the toilet if you haven’t bought anything.
I could see her being upset with you if you drank your own water and ate your own food in the restaurant. But, again, that’s only from my German point of view.
I’m visiting other companies for work every now and then.
If they are in a fancy new steel-and-concrete office building with open space offices, chances are that cell reception is very bad. I once was in an office where I’m certain they had installed cell blockers on the toilets.
I think, you have a higher character limit?
I just looked into it briefly and you’re right, there seems to have been some development:

Translation: Criminal liability of the downloader
However, users who download this data also infringe copyrights if it is obvious to a reasonable and fair-minded person that the public presentation (the offer on the servers of the one-click hoster) is made without the permission of the actual rights holder. This is certainly the case if, for example, a film is offered before its theatrical release. However, the obviousness should also be given after the theatrical release, since no one can expect a film production company to make its films available free of charge on servers of one-click hosts.

It also states that downloaders are currently not being pursued, because it is too difficult to prove.
Very much depends on the country, though. In Germany for example, it is illegal to actively share media (so upload via torrent), but it’s “legal” (ie, not fineable) to stream or download via one-click-hosters.
So, buy TSLA is what I’m hearing?
I’ll check it out, thanks!
Huh? Can you elaborate? I have an LG TV with webOS (useless), so I’m about to buy an Android box.
It is not connected to the Lemmy account… I used their URL “vger.app” at first, but then lemmy.world implemented it themselves. When I logged in over that URL, I had to “rehide” the topics.
Sorry, I don’t know the specifics.
Voyager is, by far, the best lemmy experience I’ve tried. Hiding posts is a godsend. And they did all this as a web app?? Impressive!
I briefly looked into this, but then reddit shit the bed :-)
Can you be a little more specific? I’m in Europe. Who do I have to pay to get access to a sweet server? I’m only watching English content.
Thanks!
I’ll check this out, thanks!
A friend of mine bought a new Model 3 at launch here in Germany. He had to drive a couple of hundred kilometers to pick it up in a city with a port. When he arrived, he was escorted to a warehouse with 100s of Teslas in it. His was actually outside in the parking lot. He was told that he could inspect the car for one hour to find potential faults like panel gaps, scratches in the paint or runny paint (it had been raining the night before and the car was still wet lol).
He found two fault which were going to be sorted out for him no charge. He told me this while we were sitting in the vehicle and I said “oh, so stuff like this scratch in the dashboard here?” and he looked at it and said “… I haven’t even noticed that one -_-”
All in all a very strange way to sell a car and pretty unheard of, especially here in Germany and with a brand new car.
Very nice, thanks for the write up!
Oof, so true. They remove more and more features that are important to me each generation. Still rocking a 4a for the headphone jack and recently, my fingerprint sensor has shit the bed. Well now that I’ve gotten used to having the sensor on the back, Pixel phones use a crappy under the display one.
Easily notification light. People always say “oh, it’s totally obsolete with always on displays”. But with a notification light I could focus on other stuff and the blinking light got my attention better. With the AOD, I always catch myself glancing at my phone. Also, the light’s color clearly indicated which app caused the notification. I had White for calls, Green for Whatsapp, Yellow for the ebay app, Red for GMail and so on. “You can do all that with an OLED screen! It only lights up the pixels that-” Can you, though? All apps that I tried were utter garbage. Buggy performance, very battery hungry and very cumbersome to configure. I don’t know if custom firmwares actually have that feature in a usable state nowadays, as I cannot root my phone anymore without losing core functionalities like online banking.
Yeah, everything tends to go to shit with time. I miss my Galaxy S2.
Agreed. Lately, I’m trying to take the stance “it’s just business” whenever companies modify their product for the worse. Happened with Youtube (thank god for Revanced), Netflix, Reddit and Twitter. If you don’t like the developments just force yourself to evolve and move on.
I have an LG 55C8 and was able to root it (somebody figured that out last year or so). I don’t know if you still can root your model, but I’d look into it! There’s a patched YouTube app which incorporates ad block and even sponsor block! It single handedly prevented me from buying an Android box and skipping the TV’s smart features altogether.
