While I think this is a great comment as Nebula is an interesting platform, I fundamentally disagree with how Nebula decides who can create content on their platform.
If I understand it correctly, you can only become a Nebula content creator if a content creator in Nebula knows you and vouches for you. This makes Nebula inaccessible for new creators.
That being said: With Nebula you do get a high quality selection of content creators.
As a German I would say test that they actually keep up with all their duties. I feel like for many years ours do a terrible job, but at least they don’t try to overthrow the government or anything. So… test that they know and are willing to perform their duties:
The president’s most prominent powers and duties include:
- Proposing the chancellor to the Bundestag
- Appointing and dismissing the chancellor and their cabinet ministers
- Dissolving the Bundestag under certain circumstances
- Declaring the legislative state of emergency under certain circumstances
- Convening the Bundestag
- Signing and promulgating laws or vetoing them under certain circumstances
- Appointing and dismissing federal judges, federal civil servants, and commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the Armed Forces
- Exercising the power to pardon individual offenders on behalf of the Federation
- Awarding honors on behalf of the Federation
- Representing Germany at home and abroad
Currently, German presidency is a deportation track for political pensioners.
what country if I may ask?
I hated languages in school because besides grammar and word mistakes, grading always felt arbitrary. However, that teacher recognized that I struggled, gave me a generalized template and said “If you do it like that, you get a good grade”. I did it like that and got a good grade (we have 1 (perfect) - 6 (trash) and I improved from 4- to 2+ which is quite a big leap). So yea, that was the first time that I perceived that subject and a teacher of that subject as something real and not bs.
It’s not a grammar mistake per se, but I feel like sharing it and it is close enough so here we go.
As a non-native English speaker: How can you have mopb and vacuum the floor but not broom the room?! I know it doesn’t exist, but I don’t care. If we have to phrase it as a grammar mistake: I use verbalisations where they are uncommon.
Police officers? The main issue here is that those laws are about balance. Balance of your rights and the persons’ you are filming. There are some general rules and a large grey area.
In general your vlogging isn’t an issue. However, if you knowingly start recording a specific person e.g. a busker, or in your case a street scammer, things become more difficult - especially because you are vlogging. The expectation that you are going to upload the video makes it unlikely that you are just recording for evidence.
I am not a lawyer. I think the police promarily tried to de-escalate here.
I think you are mistaken. In Germany public photography is legal as long as it is not your intend to photograph/monitor individuals. They can totally be part of the image, just not the focus. Videos are also legal as long as it is not targeted or constant indiscriminate monitoring.
I don’t think other EU countries have largely different laws given how common dashcams are.
Do what it takes to get them to a doctor and let them handle it. For example: "I want to support you, but I am no expert. Let’s see a nutrition specialist to see what the best course of action is. Personally, I think you are not too fat, but if there is something you want to change, let’s do it right.
That’s the beauty. Given that there is no goal, you are able to define your own.
The times we live in are wild. Predicted that, Aldous?
That’s what I call a big update!
I have set up a good hand full of dual booted Windows/ Linux machines. Never had any major issues. However, I also noticed that I only use Linux except for games and that’s slowly changing, too, so I would suggest trying the dual boot if it makes you more comfortable to realize yourself that you don’t need it.
France in general does a lot of things right. Their whole open source movement is amazing! Just take a look at https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome and their tools like https://cryptpad.fr/
And politically as well though I can’t pinpoint it to an exact article. Just the general vibe I got from them and the decisions I saw.
Cool image slides! For my use case it is a bit too usage focused. I would like to find something that focuses a bit more on the “Not controlled by one” part and covering Lemmy, Bluesky, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube and such. I like your presentation style though!
Yes, it is absolutely valid that you decided to commercialise your project and keeping parts or all of the code closed. As I work in the public sector and we are encouraged to use open source and write open source software, my knowledge regarding closed software solutions is thin. Is there a “standard way” how closed software is able to guarantee private key safety? I could imagine solutions where there is a separate handler that is open source so that one can verify that only specific information is passed into the closed software area, but this doesn’t sound feasible when talking about full terminal support within the closed software.
Again, there is nothing wrong with going commercial! I am sure I will release closed software (side projects), too, at some point.
Hey, I had my struggles with app icons as well when I wrote a small app for myself so I am not really equipped to create the PR (also due to current time limitations). If no one is found for that, I can give it a shot at the end of the year, but I am sure you will find someone sooner than that.
However, I know of a free icon website and have looked through their icons to suggest a few to you:
Uxwings license is amazing: https://uxwing.com/license/ you can use the icons for basically anything and can even alter them.
Personally, I like “Eye in “scanning square”” the most as it symbolizes the technical aspect of scanning/capturing the surroundings.
While I haven’t used it yetis, there is also https://icon.kitchen/ for icon generation.
Giving it a quick scan, it does look interesting. I am not sure whether I will try it as I don’t see the need to visualise beyond what I can do with a shell and the openstack dashboard, but there can definitely be use cases for it.
Not being FOSS is the deal-breaker though. Not sure if I am too much of a sceptic but I prefer open source when having software that accesses my private key/servers.
Fellow German here. Since October 2023 the information regarding Israel x Gaza has been wonky. Before that in history class (~10 years ago) the conflict has been viewed as “They are both responsible for the current state, peace talks never worked, sometimes there was hope but both did bad things”. The focus was in general more on israel as a state and gaza as the less defined part that suffers. Personally, I was never happy with a country that defines itself by their religion. I also felt like taking Israel back after such a long time and driving out the inhabitants is difficult to defend.
October 2023: The government immediately stood behind Israel and it took a long time until Israel’s behaviour was really questioned by journalists/media. Politicians still hold back. Many Germans, me included, thought something along the lines of “it is a very complex situation that goes back years. It was never resolved and it is understandable to some degree that Israel never wants to be terrorised like this again.” - a bit like America’s actions after 9/11.
For me the greatest shift came with the killed aid workers and finally with Amnesty International’s recognition of a genocide. I didn’t entirely trust any (whether pro or con) media footage before that due to claims from both sides that the other side is faking them.
Before the election I asked the parties what their plans are regarding Israel and Gaza. None answered. A while ago I have asked the new government what their plans are and linked the Amnesty International genocide pdf. I got an answer but just a forwarding to another agency which I haven’t heard back from yet.
I still think the conflict is rather complex, but Israel is currently largely at fault. I have no idea how the situation can ever be solved as I don’t see a power great and willing enough to enforce any peaceful contract between the parties. While I think it was unjust to recreate Israel the way it was recreated, I don’t think it’s feasible to undo a state. The ideal solution would be to unify both countries under a good constitution that gives everyone equal rights, review the stealing of land to find compromises and forget everything so that the coming generations are unable to not see that we are all equal but this will never happen.
There’s also https://github.com/revoltchat which is very discord-like but still lacks some vital features that are currently in development like screensharing (if I am not misremembering)
Somehow I also had Waluigi in my head when I first saw him.
