If he didn’t do anything criminal under those other personas, what would they prosecute him for? Most of his activities were just not crimes, but covered under free speech; giving someone bomb-making instructions in the belief that he’s actually going to commit terrorist attacks is not.

It’s a fairly widespread Internet meme, I think in order to make fun of France, though I’m not sure exactly where it originated.

What do we want?

Autocorrect that doesn’t make mistakes!

When do we want it?

Nor! Not! North! I mean…

I was taught to always look at and focus on the spot I want to drive to when driving.

“No, you can’t accelerate when your head is turned to the right to check for traffic! First look where you want to drive, then start driving!”

Also somewhat useful advice for racing (or generally driving) video games.

The regulatory gap has created uncertainty for big tech companies, because while scanning for harms on their platforms is now illegal, they still remain liable to remove any illegal content hosted on their platforms under a different law, the Digital Services Act.

That is plainly false. The DSA only requires that they remove illegal content when they become aware of it and specifically disallows general monitoring obligations. They do not scan means they aren’t aware of it means they aren’t liable to remove anything.

I only heard it about Germany under Hitler.

Oh come on. I dislike copyright law as much as anyone, but this just makes the case against it look stupid.

The German cognates of these mean the same as in Spanish, and I think that’s also true for most other languages, so English is the weird language here.

Doesn’t “Handy” come from Swabian dialect “hen di koi Schnur” or something? /s

I actually dislike the term “social media” in the first place, only used it above for convenience…

I (seriously) discovered that there were websites that allowed the general public to participate in the mid-2000s when I was a preteen. I immediately liked that concept and started to participate on such sites (first forums, later wikis) myself and found that fun.

Then around 2008, everyone started to insist that such sites were now called “social media” and the most important ones were Facebook and Twitter, both of which I hadn’t heard of until around that time, and both of which didn’t seem like very fun or appealing places at all.

Now I keep hearing about the horrible things apparently caused by “social media” and wonder, what do you even mean, what could possibly be wrong with web forums.

I think it’s just a video version of this: https://what-if.xkcd.com/49/

It reproduces how reddit works. Or used to work because over there nowadays I sometimes randomly (unpredictably) get notifications for lower-level comments too, which isn’t an entirely useless feature, but very much looks like “trying to increase engagement”.

Hurray! People stop doing stupid shit!

you certainly have a high opinion of your own activities, eh?

I agree that the kind of “social media” that is popular among the general public (i.e. sharing information about one’s own life) is fairly stupid. But Lemmy too is “social media”, any support forum is “social media”, even wikis are “social media”, and I do not think that those are stupid things to do, at all.

Finding employment is about the only thing I think it can be useful for. It’s the only thing I’ve ever used it for.

I agree, but I think here “accidentally” is used in an ironic manner because this is of course not actually a bad thing.

speak for yourself

At the Vienna main railway station (Wien Hbf) there is or was an ATM, operated by Erste Bank, where you can choose to get 200 euro notes.

Sounds similar to the 200 euro note. Though I did once manage to withdraw one from an ATM, and it was accepted at a grocery store without problems.

What’s your problem with it? I read parts of the documentation and it seemed like a very elegant language combining good features from many other languages.

Why do you think it is “just about Jerusalem”?!

Also I need to check whether there is a “title gore” community here on Lemmy already.

ETA:

If not the why doesn’t one group with their allies more inside.

This really has the potential to be the next “has anyone really been far even as decided…”.
