  • [Video] German cops arrest kid at pro-Palestine demonstration and then assault elderly man for calling them out

  • Section 185 Insult: The penalty for insult is imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or a fine and, if the insult is committed publicly, in a meeting, by disseminating content (section 11 (3)) or by means of an assault, imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or a fine.

    While I personally am unsure about the handling of that situation, I think police is legally able to justify the use of force in this situation by saying "Oh, the situation was difficult and we had to act now to ensure that we are able to identify the person." The woman who tried to "help" the man by intervening is legally also in trouble; if the police had the capacity and the will to act.

    Funfact: Generally, you can call them "cows" in German so "Bulle", because it is so well established that it no longer counts as an insult but only as colloquial language.

  • I hate people who share or create these clips. They never show the whole picture. Of course there are cases were children can be arrested...

    Not saying that they never do anything wrong, but without full context this is just bait.

  • Always backup your tools folder... In the past I only created backups for my "real" code folder and I was quite upset when I lost my small scripts in the last drive death.

  • Looks great! I might now what I get for christmas :) just have to double check that UK hasn't heavily changed their guarantee laws since leaving the EU and that shipping is survivable.

  • That's really nice! pinetime looks great, but is currently out of stock. I tried finding an open source smart watch before, but only found pebbles which doesn't market for the EU.

    Still have other replies to read but likely I'll just wait for pinetime to be stocked again.

  • I read your post as a personal attack. Not report worthy, but not worthy to indulge. Good luck though :)

  • Too many questions for me :) I don't know much about socialism, but if anything I am a market socialist, social democracy fan and can only support "social ownership of the means of production" in the most narrow sense.

    I am a fan of "everybody who can has to work" (i.e. against carrying poor people who could contribute and against people so rich they don't need to work). I am a fan of supporting those who can't work. I am a fan of people being able to make an obscene amount of money through their work and dedication. I am not a fan of people making a lot of money through money (though this is sadly necessary in the current capitalistic system) or through inheritance.

    The biggest problem I have with establishing this is how such a system is able to compete with other countries and prevent external companies offering more money or buying companies, but through extreme regulation.

  • The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization

    Jump

  • I carefully agree. I don't think paid advertisment is the solution here though. Regarding PeerTube having unlimited upload capabilities and a prominent "Support us!" button would be enough imho. However, unlimited upload is not feasible for most instances as storage costs are not always covered by instance donations.

  • Always remember that the democrats are right wing

    Jump

  • Always remember that left and right are difficult terms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left%E2%80%93right_political_spectrum

    In Germany Harris would have been conservative CDU (the most conservative/right party before the AfD turned up) and Trump would have been in the AfD. However, CDU is still fine. Nothing bad about being conservative. I disagree with most of their opinions but they are valid political opinions. AfD and Trump share political opinions that are undemocratic, dangerous and stupid.

  • The #1 holocaust generator

    Jump

  • Ah, I see! I didn't consider that.I just thought about active evolvement by either supporting the government or supporting the genocide directly and couldn't think of a thing. But I get it now. Not sure if I would call that partly responsible, but that's semantics in the end.

  • The #1 holocaust generator

  • ... calling them partially responsible for the Nazi genocide is a stretch at best. If I am wrong feel free to educate me with a source.

  • Pebble Watch Software Is Now 100% Open Source

  • I was unable to find contact information quickly, but I highly doubt that they are willing to do that. I just can't see them going "Yea, we thought 30 days are fine. Let's give you a year (or two)"

  • ricecake gave a good answer already. In the EU you have 2 years. In the first 12 months the company has to prove that it wasn't their fault, in the next 12 months you have to prove it was their fault.

    If no such law is in place, nothing protects you from them using cheap materials that break after a few months.

    E.g. I once had a free xbox-replica controller every year because their product was shit and it broke after ~6-9 months. They had to replace it and did so three times. Then I got my money back. Selling * doesn't work here.

  • "Earning a living"

    Jump

  • In general I agree. People should be able to make informed life choices without pressure. However, I don't think universal basic income is the solution (see below). In Germany we have no public university fees and you can get Bafög; which is a far from ideal conditional income enough to cover housing and food while you study. You have to pay a part back once you are done, but far from all (at most 50%; often less than that). I wouldn't mind a study UBI.

    I am for social security and social services that allow you to make an informed choice of what you want to do. Beyond that I am for "you have to work". But I am looking at "work" from an European perspective with all the protection laws in place and not an American perspective.

    The main problem with UBI (Universal Basic Income) is that while tests showed benefits (highly depending on countries), financing UBI is difficult. So far no larger country has completely adapted UBI at least partly due to that reason. Also, no study was long enough to see the "people are less incentivised to work" issue.

  • What's your opinion on religion?

    Jump

  • It's like a second penis. Interesting, Unnecessary, Sonething to not pull out in public and to keep away from kids.

    If I could press a button to make all religions disappear, I would.

    Back in the days I was an anti-theist. Nowadays I just hate religion and think it did primarily bad things. (btw. in Germany the catholic church tried to sue someone for calling them "children-fucker-cult" and they failed - primarily because of formalities though; case is a bit more complex than that but who cares)
