Well, I am not a lawyer so I don’t know if that can really happen, but you are supposed to be judged by the law that applied to you when you committed the crime, not any different scenario that could be applied to your case in the future (nulla poena sine lege, non-retroactivity of criminal law).

Consider, for example, something that didn’t use to be a crime. For example, buying alcoholic drinks. If now they ban alcohol, they cannot start prosecuting people who bought alcohol when it was legal. Even if they announce they will ban buying alcohol, they cannot wait for the law to come into effect to start prosecuting people who bought it while the law was being written and knew it was going to be banned, because it was not banned yet when they bought it. This is not the same case, but it’s similar.

What matters is the law that applied to you when you committed the crime, not when you are being judged.

But, as said, I’m not a lawyer.

As it seemed to be a campaign to promote a cryptocurrency, they have probably already carried out their exit scam and have no need to continue with this.

I cannot provide advice about this specific case. But as a general advice to everyone, unionize before it’s too late. By the time you realize that your boss has been fooling you for one year in a way that will make it harder for you to claim a resolution, it may be too late. Don’t wait for problems to appear, unionize sooner to get advice and prevent things like this from happening in the first place.

Didn’t that already exist as the right to one’s own image?

At least here in Spain such righ is mentioned in section 18.1 of the the Constitution from 1978 and was developed by a law in 1982 banning the capture, reproduction, use or publication by photograph, film, or any other means of a person’s voice or image.

I would expect similar laws to exist in other countries. Having control of your own image and not allowing anyome to take your voice and image and make their own public use of them seems like a pretty basic right to not be regulated already before GenAI appeared.

Actually, targeting it just to GenAI and framing it as intellectual property or copyright sounds quite limited. Do you mean that as long as I don’t use it for GenAI or use it for purposes not covered by copyright I can still publicly use your image in Denmark? I wouldn’t expect so. The right one’s own image is rooted in human dignity, privacy, and autonomy, which go beyond what a copyright law can protect.

I would call this more than just mildly infuriating. Every time there is soccer, a big part of the Internet stops working for me (including my own Netxcloud and Matrix instances, which I am proxing via Cloudflare).

No, the whole IP addresses are being blocked. Which is causing a huge issue for sites hosted in Cloudflare because thousands of sites share the same IP address and, when they find one single infringing site, they block the whole IP address affecting thousands of innocent sites. This has been widely reported by TorrentFreak, you can search there about how this works.

So this is the road where this poor boy was killed: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SqeEZE6R5tBhiakw9

One thing I fail to understand about American towns is how they build a wide four-lane road in a residential area and they don’t even consider sidewalks.

That moment when he says “grab what you want”. Like, you know… I’m actually speechless.

Instead of mildly infuriating, I would call this vicariously embarrassing.

I have a TUXEDO Book BU1407.

The hardware support is quite good. It works with mainline Linux without requiring proprietary drivers or firmware.

But the laptop is very noisy. Sometimes I have to put a T-shirt or something under it when I want to watch a movie in silence without hearing all the vibrations it causes on the desk.

It also has a big bright power LED that is very annoying and I have to cover it when I use it in dark environments.

In five years, I had to replace the battery or power supply twice, which they didn’t sell and I had to buy from third parties. When I contacted support to try to diagnose why my laptop was not charging, their reply included expressions like “We can’t do magic. […] We can’t see into the future and we can’t be clairvoyant either” which I found very rude and unprofessional.

For all these reasons, I will not buy TUXEDO again and I think I will give Slimbook a try the next time I need to buy a laptop.

It always happens when a street is made pedestrian-only: the argument that it will reduce sales for small local businesses. I fail to understand how seeing cars drive past your shop is better for sales than people walking around your shop.

3 km sounds like too much to me. I don’t think most people here would walk that far to do their shopping, especially in 30°C heat, mostly because we usually have small supermarkets all around.

I currently walk 500 m to my small neighbourhood supermarket when I just need to buy a few things and I don’t recall ever living further away from some small supermaket. When I am running out of provisions, I take my car and go to a big hypermarket 7 km away. There are other hypermarkets closer by, even within walking distance (2.3 km), but that farther one is the one I like for doing a big shopping.

Of course, distance isn’t the only factor. It’s not the same 500 m in London or Amsterdam which are mostly flat than in the city where I live now, where the 500 m to my supermarket have gradients of up to 15 %.

This is not new though. The EUPL have existed for almost two decades.

Mojeek is based in the UK and they use their own index: https://www.mojeek.com/about/why-mojeek

Shameless, one of my favourite shows ever, especially from season 3. And of course I am referring to the original British version from Channel 4, not that awful remake they made in the US later.

Also Inside no. 9, but as an anthology series, it varies a lot between episodes.

And Deezer is French. Both are listed outside the non-US owned circle but marked as options to boycott the US. The chart is wrong.
