Even IF that turns out to be the truth, that just means that the people yelling about China in 2020 happened to be right out of sheer coincidence, like a broken clock. They didn’t come to that conclusion through science / critical thinking but xenophobia.

Science should always be open to criticism.

Science is not “moderators on social media”.

Well, yeah, I can see why people are amused. I personally just don’t care all that much because they’re not exactly important, is all :)

Was genau heißt das denn? Wenn die KI sieht, dass ich 50.000 Euro im Monat verdiene, jung und gesund und kinderlos bin (wie auch immer sie das tut, die Datengrundlage ist mir hier erstmal zweitrangig), ist der Preis höher, und wenn sie sieht, dass ich 300 Euro Erwerbsunfähigkeitsrente im Monat krieg und davon 3 Kinder versorgen muss, niedriger? Das wäre doch eigentlich, im Prinzip, zu begrüßen, oder nicht? Jedes zahlt, was es kann?

So sozialistisch einfach wird’s aber wohl nicht sein. Dass der Anbieter gönnerhaft niedrigere Preise nimmt, ist schwer vorstellbar. Dass Wohlhabende höhere Preise akzeptieren, weil ihnen bewusst ist, dass dadurch anderen der Flug ermöglicht wird, wird vermutlich auch die Ausnahme sein.

Also was genau passiert hier bzw was stellt sich die Firma vor?

Question in general about that UK law while there’s people here who seem to know things: What about my private, personal website that I run as a hobby? If I have nsfw content on there* that I made myself with (one of (lolamirite)) my own two hands for free with no monetary gain whatsoever, they can’t expect me to implement age verification, can they?

Edit: any non-profit thing, really. AO3?

So a simple lolcow exacerbated by belonging to a group of people that (deservedly) has image problems. Alright then.

Unnecessary.

Do I need to know who that is? I tried looking up the name but all I can find is gossipy yelling about the two of them and Coldplay so apparently this seems to be some big deal but in general I don’t think it should be the public’s concern if someone has an affair (exceptions apply).

You make a compelling point.

Yeah, wouldn’t installing a new OS be the most common scenario in which one would “turn off [OS] for the last time”?

Ich weiß ja nich, ob es so ne wahnsinnig gute Idee ist, zwei Gruppen, die auf Unterstützung angewiesen sind, gegeneinander auszuspielen.

… Moment, wo wird hier nach oben gebückt?

Different situation altogether.

I don’t really care whether you benefit in any way from my picture, published or not, for profit or not. If I don’t want you to have it, you don’t get it. What gives you the right to take my picture? Besides, why do you even want it if you’re not using it for something?

The title here seems misleading, in Nintendo’s favour. Apparently Nintendo claims there is water damage to get around a repair.

You can use public spaces all you like, you do not get to use my face however you like.

remove even more of our liberty to use public space (which is supposed to be ours).

I mean, your freedom to record in public ends where my freedom to not be recorded in public starts.

The way I understand it is that if anyone complains, you’d also have to prove that you didn’t record and the device has never had the ability to create a permanent record. Which seems difficult.

Gottverdammte Scheiße, Fritz. Trump says jump and you jump. What happened to Europe becoming more independent from the US?
