Can recommend the book flash boys about the topic of dark pools, high frequency trading, etc. and how the setup, the parameters of this system enables fraud.

ormr@lemm.eeto Privacy@lemmy.ml•German Prosecutors Think It’s Funny People’s Homes Are Being Raided And Their Devices Seized Because They Said Stuff On The Internet41·3 months agoYes, I think this is what we’re gonna see. Even more so once the far right takes power. They will use the anti-hate speech laws against their creators because they are easy to abuse.
ormr@lemm.eeto Privacy@lemmy.ml•German Prosecutors Think It’s Funny People’s Homes Are Being Raided And Their Devices Seized Because They Said Stuff On The Internet6·3 months agoLol, no one who just “expresses concern” will be sued in Germany. It will always be insults and incitement to violence that will lead to this.
However I would say that there have been trials because of really “easy” insults, started by politicians. And here you’ve got a point IMO that these laws are also used for intimidation. As a politician you should be able to tolerate some insults without having to sue each and every offender out there.
Very true. Funny how OP’s comment was just referring to a completely different argument. Instead of answering the question if the argument brought by the Proton guy could by chance be true, they again referred to their derailing…
Hey that’s great. Also a happy citizen of Elkupalos here.
Whatever artifacts might be there… it’s a real photo. I know the guy who was carried away.
ormr@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•what's the best way to react if a guy stares at you like he wants to have sex with you when you're doing yoga?1710·6 months agoYes that moral imbalance also striked me when reading this. When grandma has a gut feeling towards brown people and talks about that, she’d be called a bigot here. But when it’s about men, the highest upvoted advice is to listen to the feeling of fear in your gut…
It really depends on the journal though.

Good timing for revisiting this classic.

Populous and Black & White were fantastic games IMO. But these games are old so maybe this view of him as a liar is more recent development.
ormr@lemm.eeto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•German FDP reveals Plan for more cars and less space for pedestrians in inner citiesEnglish3·10 months agoAnd the Greens thought the economy ministry would be the biggest opportunity to enact green changes. But the FDP knew that nothing could stop change as effectively as having the finance ministry… And amazingly they got it. Surely because Scholz is not an idiot and knew that this would lead to a balance of power between his two coalition buddies, in a way stabilising his weak chancellorship.

Yes but not using inclusive language is far from counting as a moral failing in my world… It’s far from racism, let alone nazi stuff. So what’s that comparison good for?
Sure everyone’s free to use it or not, contribute to it or not. That’s not related to my argument. I was only talking about making a connection between someone’s political views and how much trust they deserve when it comes to e.g. security.
So you think you can draw a connection between someone’s views on inclusive language and whether an individual or org can be trusted with software security.
I’m sorry but to me this line of thinking is bonkers. The two things have nothing to do with each other whatsoever. What if a conservative individual argued that they have trust issues with an open source project because it features inclusive language now? The person might argue that they don’t understand why devs would devote their limited time to such cosmetics instead of focusing on code quality. How would you view this argument? On Lemmy it would probably be ridiculed, and rightfully so. Yet it’s the same line of thinking that I see if I interpreted your comment correctly.
Okay, but you’re misinformed and trying to prove a point that’s just not related to the report linked in this thread. If you were interested in if this statistic is useful and what information is contained in it, you’d just translate some pages and read before making wild assumptions based on nothing but your ideology.
Yes, violence does not constitute the major part of felonies mentioned in the report. 37% are property damage and “propaganda offences” = using anti-constitutional symbols like swastikas, etc. A further 40% are insults, intimidation, coercion, incitement of violence, etc. And this has nothing to do with hate speech laws. It’s not the state who’s suing here but people who have been insulted, intimidated, etc. and it’s of course very much their right to sue in this case.
