Some OCH groups might actually take issue with their stuff getting shared around, but there’s no way for them to restrict it. Scene is in a similar situation, where they want releases to stay in their circles but they get released to trackers & usenet anyway.

German releases by OCH groups are already shared widely through Usenet and private torrent sites, as OCH is such a big source of pirated content in Germany.

So yes, you’re free to share OCH releases to public sites. ZeroTwo releases usually include subtitles for all available languages so they might’ve a wider appeal than german-speaking countries.

Make sure you’re VPN & torrent client is properly set up, i.e. you’re torrent client is bound to the VPN interface.

I personally stick to private torrent sites as there’s less eyes on them given them being relatively small [1]. With so few people torrenting in Germany the speeds aren’t always great though. That’s why I mainly use Usenet.

Well, enshittification usually only starts after a good while. If the parent company wants changes they can slowly press forward to achieve what they want, even if they are somewhat limited - those limitations are usually limited itself. E.g. WhatsApp data was seperate to Facebook at first, but slowly but surely they became more interlinked (at least internally).

Anyway, I don’t know enough about Nexus Mods and their owners to have any idea where they’re headed. As you’ve said, there’s been no indication of them doing something shitty.

Current Pixels sadly no longer have a headphone jack.

The Pixel 8as battery can be replaced through the back side, but the 8 & 8 Pro battery can only be replaced by removing the screen first. Idk about Pixel 9/10(a/Pro).

GrapheneOS is like any other Android for things like data transfer. Plug in via USB or your preferred wireless protocol.

The dev did develop most things himself so they have the copyright and can relicense freely. Also, they’ve asked other major contributors whether they agree with him relicensing their code, which they were seemingly okay with. Small contributions aren’t copyrightable anyway, and/or the dev likely has rewritten them already.

Interesting. I feel like 2021 might be the time I first noticed this freezing/crashing on my PC, but not my laptop. I always thought it was the GPU, but after switching to another AMD GPU it still happens.

The freezes happen irregularly, i.e. there’s been times I thought it was fixed for it just to happen again.

Die großen Blockbuster dagegen bleiben wohl eher unpolitisch, geben sich, wenn überhaupt, patriotisch - das hat in den USA ja Tradition.

Das ist ein wichtiger Abschluss des Artikels. Patriotismus & Schusswaffengebrauch wird in den ganzen Hollywood Action-Filmen fast immer propagiert. Häufig genug auch Selbstjustiz. Aber das macht nun mal gutes Action-Kino und muss nicht zwangsläufig rechtskonsertiv & religiös sein.

The problem is that if Firefox does not support features like WebGPU, people will switch to Chrome once they notice web sites don’t work correctly.

Einfach Überstunden vor der Arbeit machen — so um 4 Uhr morgens sind die Temperaturen doch niedriger.

Da auch schon namhafte Künstler auf dem Festival aufgetreten sind, könnte eine frühe Ankündigung den Fokus des Festivals verschieben. Dann kommen Leute, die sich nicht überzeugen lassen wollen, sondern nur ihre Lieblingsband sehen wollen. Leute, die nur feiern wollen, sind mE. nicht empfänglich für Überzeugungsarbeit.

Imo open sourcing is not necessary, as that is unrealistic depending on the licensing of libraries etc. Just distributing the server and making it possible to selfhost would be enough.

Or, built local network play in to the game itself (although this requires most of the work necessary for creating a selfhostable server anyway).

I only use them to dry my shoes and to wrap bio waste, but there’s still about 3 (bi-weekly) newspapers getting delivered to my door. They are ad supported and I don’t know anyone reading them, except for a few people over the years which complained about not receiving theirs.

I almost forgot there’s also the community sheet (“Gemeindeblatt”), which includes local events, trash collection dates, job postings: coincidentally they are currently in need of someone delivering this local paper for the next few weeks.

Klar. Das ganze wird sicherlich nicht gerade billig sein, dementsprechend wird es möglichst weit verbreitet. Welch eine tolle Investition /s

Heise is a German specifically tech news outlet, so they are generally quite good with facts about tech.

These arrests are targeted at an illegal IPTV provider which restreams channels from licensed TV providers (Sky, DAZN, RTL+). These illegal IPTV services usually also provide on-demand content like Netflix shows, movies etc.

The CSAM incident is definitely an additional charge for a single individual and not part of the prior investigation about an illegal IPTV service which provides customers with otherwise legal TV.

Sicherlich gibt es verschiedene Gründe, wie von anderen Kommentaren schon geschrieben wurde.

Ich habe über die Jahre schon ein paar Mal Beiträge heruntergewählt, die eigene Meinung enthielten. Je nach Thema und wie die Formulierung ist, finde ich das nicht angemessen. Oder zum schlechteren geänderte Titel kann ich teilweise überhaupt nicht leiden. Im Normalfall ignoriere ich den Beitrag dann einfach.

The reason i cant get a vpn is because im just broke and im young enough to live with family so i cant really get a job.

I don’t know your situation (and age) but small jobs like delivering newspapers can usually be taken up at relatively you age. They should easily cover a VPN subscription.

E.g. I was delivering newspaper biweekly for a few hours at the age of 13. Even today, the monthly pay would’ve been enough to pay for a year of my current VPN. Your guardians will have to approve the job but legally it shouldn’t be an issue.

If you torrent without a VPN the conversation about a warning by the internet provider on behalf of some rights holder will be way worse than asking about ideas for a small (summer) job.

If you permanently seed all you’ve downloaded and you’ve been using a tracker for a while, bonus points + upload should usually cover all your downloading needs.

Starting out is difficult without a seedbox though. Especially of you don’t use Cross-Seed to seed to multiple trackers. In that case it is considerably easier to pay for a seedbox.

• Pay for a month for TorrentLeechs seedbox promo to get an invite.
• wait for opensignups. HUNO, FearNoPeer, onlyencodes are solid options.
• do an “interview” at MAM. After downloading and seeding all you’ve downloaded for a few months, you’ll be able to get into the trackers mentioned above and a few others (e.g. Aither).

Die USA haben seit vielen Jahren Gesetze, die es ihnen erlauben, auf Daten von US-Firmen zuzugreifen — unabhängig vom Standort der Datenzentren.

D.h. US-Recht ist inkompatibel mit EU-Datenschutzgestzen, da keine US-Firma garantieren kann, das die US-Behörden nicht auf Daten von Europäischen Bürgern in der EU in Europäischen Datenzentren, zugreifen können. Würde eine US-Firma im Zweifel keine Daten ausleiten, würde sie gegen US-Recht verstoßen.

It’s not directly answering your questions, but I do like .pkpass. It’s a good standard because it does not require accounts, links or anything like that. If you have the file, you can import it. It’s the opposite of how Google does it, which makes it useful beyond Apple.

PDFs/Screenshots being invalid because it can be sent quickly to multiple people is a bad reason as you could print out multiple copies too. Sadly, being sensible is so often not a thing.

FossWallet seems to be great although I didn’t try it yet.

I also really hate it when services restrict downloads depending on the platform. I.e. it could be possible that Apple users get shown a .pkpass, while Android is artificially limited to Google Wallet - even though not all devices support it. Maybe setting the user agent could help but that’s just a wild guess.
