No. But running a library in an illegal way is. Legal libraries pay the publishers.

Charge the powerbank with the public charger. No data to steal, no expensive phone with sensitive electronics to break.

But I have seen multiple phones get harmed by a really bad charger. Although these chargers were not for public use.

Still, it's not a bad idea to bring a power bank. And then charge that, if you need to.

I don't know about Germany, but in Denmark (their neighbor to the north), you ask the employee for a statement from the doctor. The employer pays the doctors fee, and there are strict rules about when they can even ask for it.

They can just leave it at full.

I believe scientific studies say it's somewhere around half of each.

The reason you don't see that, is because it's considered socially unacceptable to get socially drained, so we learn to hide it, usually from very young.

I think we are somewhat on the same page here. What matters isn't the word you use, it's the intention behind, which is hopefully obvious from context.

When I get called a nerd, my response goes anywhere between being proud and being insulted depending on context. The word itself has no emotion by itself.

Shouldn't it be the same with many of these words that some people consider racist?

Their circle of friends may not be like yours.

I know plenty of people like what you are describing (always near at least one phone), but they are still impossible to reach quickly. Even when they expect a call, they can have their phone in Do Not Disturb mode. Or they ran out of battery, and didn't think to turn it on after plugging it in. Most of the time I have no idea what the issue is.

Also, he might live in an area with few options. Specially on short notice. Maybe the closest alternative with a somewhat similar style is far away, so even if you can get a reservation , not everybody will be able to get there before dinner time.

Basically, when he says it's hard for him, maybe just trust that he knows his life better than you do.

Funny, but that's not how it works. A (good) intelligence test doesn't ask you about stuff you learn in school. They are designed specifically to not have this problem.

(Some of them have categories where education helps you. This is on purpose and should have little influence on the final score. This is for the more detailed results.)

unless you pay for a "service" that lets them put it by the curb or your garage or designated package box.

Here it's cheaper to get it delivered to a pick-up place near my home. I'll just pick it up on the way home from work, almost as easy as getting stuff from my own mailbox.

Some people think "not showering" means to wash in any other way. Some people think "not showering" means to not wash at all.

Almost every single comment here reads totally different depending on the readers assumption.

I could, but that's not the point. The point is that someone posted a picture of some text, without any sources. And that when someone asks for a shred of proof, some people don't get why. This is very important.

And this is what I'm trying to tell you, and anyone else reading. A picture of text is not reliable, and it does not help that there's also a picture of someone you trust. The guy asking for proof is the sensible voice, not the voice of a person with issues.

I don't see any indication that she's related to this. Anyone can put a picture of anyone near some text, and claim that they are quoting that person.

The point is they don't have to proof if a piece of random data is indeed an encrypted blob.

But they do need to suspect it.

If they find an encrypted blob, ask for the decryption key, they decrypt the data and analyse the decrypted data, then they may not suspect that a different decryption key will reveal a different set of data.

Amerikas Forenede Stater?

But yeah, it's too long, we usually call it USA. Although we pronounce the letters in the local way.

Your nickname is not your whole identity, it's just a name.

I spent a few minutes researching this, and I still have no idea what the problem is. Or any motivation to keep researching.

Honestly, I might be part of the problem. I'm a white guy, and there are basically no black people in my life. I don't see any in the streets, at work, at home or here. Especially here, I have no idea who anyone is.

Basically, I have no reason to get involved. However, I don't want to be part of the problem. So if you spoonfeed me information I can use to make life better for "the blackness" (I'm very confused about the terminology), I will happily read it and try to remember it.

So don't just tell me the solution, none of the TLDR makes any sense to me. Spend a few words on the problem.

As far as I can tell, there's basically two kinds of people:

1 - People who just don't care about other people in the Fediverse. They will not read any of this, there's nothing you can write here that will change anything for them.

2 - People who are trying to be nice, but don't always succeed. They will listen to advice, but nothing will change by telling them to be nice, be less racist, or to listen to people even if they are black. That's what they are already trying to do.

TeamViewer blocked me for using it commercially. I have no idea why, I'm only using it to support 3 family members.

Those conditions would be illegal to put a pig in here.

Are you talking specifically about Canadian police? Because here in Denmark, the police make a big effort to prevent crime. As far as I know, it works pretty well.

Of course not all possible efforts to prevent crime can be done by the police, a lot of it is up to the government.
