It’s not a problem if you’re into

• (leftist) US politics
• Linux and other IT topics
• Star Trek
• German Memes

As soon as you try to talk anybody else, you might find you struggle to have a community large enough to sustain a conversation

where are you getting this from? dislikes where? because youtube doesn’t show dislikes. yes, there are extensions that restore that function. but those extensions are extremely imprecise, because they project the numbers based on the like to dislike ratio of their users. But even if I grant you that there where a lot of dislikes, why would you disable dislikes, if they where never displayed in the first place?

All of which brings me to believe that you are lying.

To be fair, the system in question does the math for you. It is still contra to European tipping culture though.

The circus maximus (the big hippodrome in Rome) also hosted gladiatorial fights and athletics competitions. The meme is misleading in the way it selects the venues.

The vote was framed as stopping the automated renewal of an existing law.

So in favour means “in favour of not having mass surveillance”

My guess (which I admittedly haven’t checked) is that that’s also why a simple majority wasn’t enough (because they essentially would have been overturning law)

I mean, we don’t know for sure since WA is closed source. But group chats are supposed to be encrypted. You’re thinking of Telegram.

Signal instead of WhatsApp is generally a good idea, but WA is not covered by this law as they are end to end encrypting all messages. Switching to Proton Mail would help, using a VPN (most likely) would not.

What changes with the return of Chat Control 1.0—and what stays the same:

• What is coming back: US tech companies are once again allowed to scan private messages without a warrant or prior suspicion. This affects direct messages on platforms like Instagram, Discord, Snapchat, Skype, and Xbox, as well as emails via Google’s Gmail and Apple’s iCloud.
• What remains unchanged: Public social media posts and files hosted in cloud storage could already be scanned without this law. Furthermore, private messages can always be reported by users, or monitored by authorities using targeted, court-ordered wiretapping.
• What is still NOT being scanned: End-to-end encrypted chats, such as those on WhatsApp, have always been exempt from these scans. Additionally, European providers of messaging and email services have never implemented chat control measures.

While most of Russia’s war crimes can be prosecuted in other courts, there is no legal entity authorized to rule on the crime of aggression — first coined to prosecute the Nazis for World War II — which means a dedicated tribunal needed to be established.

Germany doesn’t but French McD has

There are even solutions that automate a lot of the configuration for such a setup. I’m using Pangolin for example:https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin

But you could set up something like this manually if you want more flexibility (pangolin is based on traefic rather than Nginx)

Scroll to the bottom of the page. There you’ll see who is responsible for this manifesto.

The group of organisations or people who have signed includes Mastodon and Felix Ableitner, representing Lemmy.

Where do you get the government controlled from? It’s developed by European companies, not governments and you can selfhost.

As we say in Germany:

Sackdoof, feige und verklemmt
ist Erdoğan, der Präsident.
(...)
 Ja, Erdoğan ist voll und ganz
ein Präsident mit kleinem Schwanz.

I assume, you are asking how to allow remote (as in outside of your network) access. There are multiple options to achieve this goal:

1. Local reverse proxy and port forwarding: You essentially poke a hole through your firewall to expose your Jellyfin to the internet. Only works if you got a static IP and your router allows it.
2. VPN: Sometimes your router has a VPN option built in. Otherwise Tailscale is a simple option. Requires some setup on the playback device. Not recommended if your users are using a lot of non-Android smart TVs
3. Tunneling to remote reverse proxy: generally the recommended option. Pangolin and netbird are two providers of such services. Your users connect to their servers and then they are automatically redirected to your server. Both services are also open source, so you can selfhost that part of the setup as well, if you want (that’s what I do)

Nice to see (some of) my taxes going to improving the Fediverse.

The Sovereign Tech Agency (previously Sovereign Tech Fund) is an organisation set up by the German government to fund critical open source projects. Mastodon receiving funds therefore means that the German government considers the Fediverse critical infrastructure.

Except the provision in question was copy pasted from an old law where it existed for decades without any change.

I find the tendency on Lemmy to see a conspiracy in every law concerning.

Criticise the law for what it does (there is enough here for it) and be wary of potential abuse. But sometimes warm water is just warm water.

1. The government is obliged to grant your request to leave the country unless there actually is a war.
2. There is no penalty if you leave the country without government approval.
