So true
  • I live in Augsburg, Germany. We have „the king“. He just declared himself king of Augsburg about 30 years ago and everyone just went with it. He spends his days walking through the city looking after the wellbeing of his people. Here’s a video-portrait by the local newspaper for his 70th birthday (in German)

  • Amsterdam Excluded From Netherlands’s Legal Cannabis Experiment
  • AFAIK the Dutch model so far (consumption and sale somewhat allowed, but no growing or importing) has created huge criminal organisations that also started to do a lot of other crimes (bc what’s there to lose if you’re going to jail anyway basically) and a big goal in designing the new German law was to not mess it up like the Netherlands have

  • I've been robbed!
  • I know this a a joke but in case some people are actually curious: The manufacturer gives the capacity in Terabytes (= 1 Trillion Bytes) and the operating system probably shows it in Tebibytes (1024^4 Bytes ≈ 1.1 Trillion Bytes). So 2 Terabytes are two trillion bytes which is approximately 1.82 Tebibytes

  • Reddit’s blockchain-based “Community Points” tokens crash after sunsetting
  • As of November 8, coins like the "MOON" that r/CryptoCurrency used for tips, premium features, and even voting shares will be removed from users' Vaults. Noticing this, the value of most Reddit-based coins took a nearly straight drop on Tuesday after Reddit's announcements. MOON was trading just over $0.20 at 1 pm Eastern, shortly before the announcement in its subreddit. Shortly before 3 pm, MOON had dropped just below $0.02, a loss of more than 85 percent, with fellow Reddit currencies BRICK (r/FortNiteBR) and DONUT (r/EthTrader) seeing similarly precipitous plunges.

    That is the most dystopian paragraph I’ve ever read, I think.

  • Mastodon's Next Major Release Enables Full-Text Search
  • I never said people shouldn't have that right, i was just genuinely wondering why it's important to people. Thanks for the insight, definitely good points you make. :) But somehow I think, if a big company wants to scrape that data (thats still publicly available, whether you make it natively searchable or not) they can do it anyway. So if you're worried about that, shouldn't you rather just not post that stuff to the public? (I want to emphasise again that I'm not trying to argue against you, I just want to understand as I'm not that well versed on these topics)

  • Spanish soccer player Jenni Hermoso accuses Luis Rubiales of sexual assault for World Cup kiss
  • So I don’t know about Spanish criminal law in particular, but in Germany the criminal code states that it’s generally only applicable for acts committed on German territory, but there are multiple exemptions for offences committed abroad „with specific domestic connection“. This includes so called „offences against sexual self-determination“ if the offender is a German national. I could imagine that Spain has a similar rule.

    Update: Seems I was (mostly) right, but spanish law is even broader than that of germany in these cases.

    The Spanish courts shall also have jurisdiction over acts recognized as offences under Spanish criminal law, even if they have been committed outside the national territory, provided that the perpetrators are Spanish nationals or foreigners who have acquired Spanish nationality after the commission of the crime, and subject to the following conditions: (a) The act is an offence in the place where it was committed; (b) The victim or the Public Prosecution Service has filed a complaint or brought a case before the Spanish courts; (c) The alleged perpetrator has not been acquitted, pardoned or convicted abroad, or, in the latter case, has not served his or her sentence. If he or she has served part of the sentence, this will be taken into account in order to reduce proportionally the sentence imposed.
