  • DVD and especially blue ray still have DRM and license terms, which . means you still don't own it. Only way to own media is to pirate it

  • Fish used to be poor people's food. It was plentiful around the sea, but it kept for just a few hours without modern refrigeration, so you couldn't really transport it to the main city market and sell it. It didn't give you much food security or much money, and it wasn't as luxurious as meat, which was the food of choice for the higher classes.

    The only fish that was eaten by the higher classes were the ones that could be preserved by salting, drying or smoking, and they were eaten mainly during lent, as a "lean" alternative to meat. It was mostly viewed as a sacrifice. During the late Middle Ages and early modern era, the herring trade started to really flourish, with Holland being a major exporter of herrings, while the Nordic countries like Norway and Sweden exported lots of salted cod and Stockfish (dried cod).

    So I'm sure it was at a moment where eating fish was seen as a humiliation, rather than a treat, like it is today. In North America lobster was considered as very poor food, cockroaches of the ocean, fed to those who couldn't afford anything else or to prisoners. Sometimes they were even used as fertilizer for the fields.

  • Maybe...

    What I don't understand is how they can be on an island, surrounded by some of the best fish in the world (including the fantastic Scottish salmon) and the only piece of fish you can find in the whole country is freaking cod with four layers of batter applied to it and fried until the only flavor you can perceive is that of mediocre burnt oil.

    They make good meat dishes (roasts, meat pies), but then they pair them with the most uninspiring sides... The UK cuisine has a few good things, and they have good ingredients, but more often than not they cook them in boring ways and stop there, calling it "good enough"

  • They have implemented a type of a mixed state that has both socialist and capitalist parts

    Personally, I find it very similar to corporatism.

    I would describe the CCP political ideology as "authoritarianism" and the economic ideology as "corporatism".

    I don't really see anything about the communes, the economy is not socially owned (not run by cooperatives) and the social aspects are veeery limited.

  • Even if the government is funded by money printed by the central bank, it would still be funded with "your money". Every dollar printed dilutes your money by that same amount, ie it's like a much more subtle tax that doesn't follow any of the principles of proportionality, everyone pays the same (except those with little to no liquidity and everything invested, so it's really a tax on the poor through inflation)

  • Eh, on something as customizable as Linux where the solution to problems can often be "run this line in the terminal", I do believe that a new user can mess up their configuration. I remember Linus from LTT having to deal with a few problems while doing the challenge.

    It's certainly also the fact that everything you need is already there out of the box, no need for tinkering to get the GPU drivers installed.

    The two things are probably both true

  • Not a lawyer, so I'm not sure about the law, but generally speaking the perception I get (ie what people say) is that "it's always your fault" when speaking to drivers. Btw, this doesn't mean that streets are any safer for cyclists or people walking or that people driver any better. This is why I'm not always in favor of laws that just add more penalties, but fail to do any structural changes.

    As for alcohol level, the law says under 0.5 g/l is fine, between 0.5 and 0.8 it's a minor infraction (fine and possible license suspension), between 0.8 and 1.5 it becomes a criminal offense, with bigger fine, longer license suspension and jail up to 6 months, and over 1.5 g/l it's still bigger fine, longer suspension, up to a year of jail etc. Then there are the aggravating circumstances, like if you also cause an accident, it's doubled, if it's a repeat offender there's the revocation of the license etc.

  • Generally speaking, here it's often presumed that it's the car's fault, or at least that's how I feel it's perceived.

    Still, negligent driving includes DUI, driving while on the phone, driving too fast, driving in the opposite lane, not stopping to a red light or yield, illegal passing of another car and failing to stop after the incident occurred.

    Moreover, the law now specifies that DUI is a criminal offense even when no incident occurred and blood level of alcohol is above 0.8 g/l, with possible jail time from 6 months to a year.

    It's become quite strict. Although I'm not sure how much it will actually affect the number of incidents, I'm not always very pro to "just increase the penalties" kind of laws. We need a more comprehensive plan to reduce the likelihood of incidents as much as possible, especially deadly incidents.

  • In Italy there's been a big push against this in the last decade.

    There's now a law called "road murder" (omicidio stradale) which makes the penalties for killing someone while driving, especially if intoxicated, more similar to intentional murder (rather than manslaughter). It's essentially aggravated manslaughter, when you cause the death of someone while driving recklessly.

  • Btw, afaik we are now at a point where artists earn next to nothing from streaming and make the bulk of the money from tours, shows and the like.

    Most of the money from your streaming subscription goes either to the service provider (Spotify, Apple etc) or to the major label.

  • Hear me out, type L, the one in the middle, is the best socket, as it has all the things you talked about, but also accepts Italian plugs.

    Type L bipasso (the one on the side) instead is the most space efficient, while retaining type C compatibility and grounding. Type L plugs also have plastic bits at the end to avoid contact with live wire (like UK one).

  • The problem is that you don't own the right to use your own device the way you see fit, and are instead locked into systems you can't escape from.

    You should be able to freely install the software you like, be that an OS, a third party app or even your own program, and you should be able to use all the features of your devices, freely, without being locked out due to the app or accessory not being first party.

  • the manufacturer of the chip making machine is based in the EU therefore no one can pull out

    This has nothing to do with anything, really. It's not like, because I don't sell in the US I can't use American made steel or something.

    The actual reason why Apple, and every other company, doesn't want to leave the EU (China for that matter) despite increasingly stringent regulations, it's because the EU represents a huge portion of their revenue and leaving would mean losing billions upon billions, all in the hopes of saving millions.
