Yes, I don’t think you can be in limbo for more than the statutory 2-weeks notice period or some such.

Still, there’s going to be quite some extra cost associated with the heads-over-heels way in which contracts were cancelled.

On a possibly related note:

That tells me that you didn’t listen to enough metal.

I’m disappointed that you can’t narrow it down more.

I thought it was a good fit for this community. Good to know my repost wasn’t just spammy.

What do you expect from a train that stops at a place called “student city”?

It provides a convenient connection between various installations of the technical university, like the hospital, the nuclear reactor, and the research brewery.

That took me way too long.

Woke: Haemovores from Doctor Who

The priest died because he had lost his faith. Haha. Anglicans. amirite?

It’s not quite the same, I think.

Abuse of rights

There’s various concepts in common law jurisdictions that go in the same direction.

Abuse of process

For the lulz!

This is some Orwellian shit right there. This kind of shit is part of the very big problem.

The hook is a scenario where someone gets doxed.

Years later, Lina was shocked to find her name and image circulating in far-right forums online.

There are some murky suggestion that connect this with “migration” or “profiling” but it’s unclear how that would make sense.

Lina tried to exercise her rights. She filed a data deletion request, but the company refused to comply. Turning to her country’s Data Protection Authority (DPA) for help, she expected a clear path to justice. Instead, she found herself trapped in a bureaucratic maze.

Indeed. A small forum outside the EU, as such far-right forums typically are, cannot be made to comply with EU law.

Technologically, scrubbing personal information from the internet is no different from scrubbing information about the Tiananmen Massacre. It can’t be done perfectly, and doing it imperfectly is totalitarian.

But what about EU primary law and the EHRC? Wouldn’t be the first time constitutional law is deemed incompatible with EU or international law.

Tricky. Protecting “morals” and the “moral development” of children is one thing that justifies a lot of limitations of rights.

Using that to suppress LGBTQ is not a distortion but has always been a point, maybe the main point, of obscenity laws. A few decades ago, such laws would have been A-OK. Maybe today, a court would rule that this goes too far.

Remember this when they call for “age verification laws” in your country.

Not true.

…as a drunken man uses lamp posts — for support rather than illumination.

The question makes me remember Daryl Bem, a celebrated social psychologist. He published a much cited article called “Writing the Empirical Journal Article”. About 15 years ago, he used this advice to prove that humans can see into the future. His advice is probably still used to teach. That’s probably the worst thing you can do.

Google sitzt in den USA. Da gilt kein deutsches oder EU Recht.

Diese links-liberale Tradition von freier Rede und Presse in den USA ist ein deutlicher Wettbewerbsvorteil. Dem deutschen Recht merkt man die deutsche Geschichte an. ZB die Impressumspflicht aus monarchistischer Zeit, weil es einem autokratischen Staat natürlich wichtig war, Kritiker - allgemein, Menschen, die “falsche” Meinungen veröffentlichten - verfolgen zu können.

Is anything output in the console (F12) when you try to post?

What browser do you use?

Ich finde ehrlich gesagt sehr erstaunlich, dass man wegen Uploadfiltern auf die Straßen geht

Das war vor über 10 Jahren und hat damals nichts gebracht. Jetzt wird das bejubelt.

Das Grundübel ist, dass man mit Upload-Filtern die Infrastruktur schafft, um Kommunikation massenhaft zu überwachen und zu zensieren. Wenn du mit hochumstrittenen Polizeibefugnissen sowas meinst, wie Aufbrechen von Verschlüsselung und allgemein mehr Überwachung, dann ist das für mich Teil derselben gefährlichen Entwicklung.

Ich habe auch Sorgen um Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft. Wenn man das Verarbeiten von Informationen so kleinteilig kontrolliert, dann geht eine Tech-Branche wie in den USA oder China einfach nicht. Es liegt nicht nur am Urheberrecht, aber wir sehen beim Thema KI gerade, wie die Content-Mafia rotiert, um wieder neue Branchen in Europa zu verhindern.

Gleichzeitig wird diese unselige Denke immer weiter ausgedehnt. Inzwischen kann man nicht mal mehr Sensordaten frei nutzen. Wie soll das langfristig weitergehen mit Forschung und Entwicklung?

Honk if you can hear this image.
