Well, if anonymity is removed also the violent Neo-Nazis (or whatever) is exposed, maybe he would think twice before doing/saying something stupid knowing that nothing stop someone else to make him the victim of harassment or to be treated like an idiot or ignored at work (or any other real life situation) because people find his social accounts and simply decide to not interact with (if not totally boycott) him.
how naive.
a violent neonazi will show up at 3 am at your address with a balaclava. throw a molotov cocktail through your bedroom window and leave before the police arrives.
this is not fud. as long as the website is accessible in germany and is not purely private (content only accessible by friends and family), a valid legal notice is required. fines can be up to 50k €.
that space is already pretty much dead, at least here in germany. If you create your own website, you need to have a valid legal notice. if you set up a web forum, you're liable for everything that gets posted there.
i guess it only makes sense in the maga world. if i was in nintendos shoes, i would have done the same. who knows when tariffs change yet again, the tariff compensation is withdrawn or whatever the fuck. the trump administration flip-flops all over the place so fuck em.
i don't have a 3D printer. granted there's a cooler master mainboard case but it's 45€ and i would still have to add at least four expansion cards for 85€ (ethernet, 2x usb-c, hdmi) a power adapter for 120€ and mass storage (maybe even some ram modules if i can reuse the old ones). at that point i'm running a bill for turning that mainboard into a server where i could just buy a new dedicated one.
The Thinkpad T460 i bought 9 years ago was passed on to a family member after a couple years and is still in use. I don't know how that's wasteful.
If I had bought a Framework I would have bought a new mainboard and I can't pass a mainboard on, I can't use it as a cheap home server. The old mainboard would have been electronic waste.
Conservatives are already implementing lots of the AfD's policies from only a few years ago. They don't need to be in power, they're already setting the agenda.
You people keep repeating these platitudes as if there aren't a lot of useful products sold that are literally harmful to kids. (And purposefully designed to not be save for children.)
Correct. Similar problem, different era. OSS collectivized the means of production for software dev to some extent. AI will make that meaningless and chain software development to capital again. That alone is a reason to fight it.
AI is not a useful tool, it's a lock-in subscription that chains you to those billionaires. Fighting against AI is fighting against control by billionaires.
Steam is the OG online DRM. I'll never forgive em for introducing that shit. Also expect Steam going to shit as soon as Gabe has to hand over the reigns.
what do you mean "if i know who you are"? you really think they're gonna reply to you on social media before showing up at your place?
you think four attacks per day are not much? not enough for you to see a problem with right-wing violence?
