Die Überschrift bringt es auf den Punkt. Ich finde es verständlich, dass Medikamente/Gifte nicht als Waffe/Gegenstand gelten, aber dann müssen auch Gesetze auch entsprechend angepasst werden.

K.O. Tropfen sind gefährlich und können bei falscher Dosis/Wechselwirkungen mit anderen Stoffen auch schnell tödlich enden. Dementsprechend sollten die Strafen ähnlich wie bei Benutzung von Waffen sein.

Ich glaube bei größeren Geschäften wird sich Bar vs Visa nicht viel nehmen. Bei einem Supermarkt mit 10.000€ Tagesumsatz und 2 Arbeitsstunden Geld zählen (Kasse, Tresor), wären das vlt 90€ (15€ Stundenlohn * 3, wegen Sozialabgaben, Steuern, etc.). Wenn Visa 1% nimmt, sind das 100€. Die paar €cent, die pro Transaktion anfallen, lasse ich mal weg.

Gleichzeitig kommt bei sehr kleinen Geschäften die Miete des Zahlungsterminals dazu, die entsprechend bei geringem Umsatz Kartenzahlung unattraktiv macht.

wine-ge is patched wine which includes many patches proton has that make games work (well).

Also, the developer of wine-ge no longer has their focus on it, because UMU [1] makes it possible to use proton(-ge) directly. UMU is already included in Lutris, Bottles & Co., or you can use it standalone [1].

First of all thank you for hosting this instance.

PS: Irrelevant rambling without a point below.

I don't know how French/EU equivalents to DMCA take down requests work and how trigger-happy OVH is. Given services like real-debrid still operate, it won't be as bad. From what I've heard Hetzner is quite strict when it comes to complaints, so I assume OVH is better.

It's good that you don't allow direct linking to pirate content. It seems to me that on most platforms communities are closed prematurely to avoid further annoyances/complaints, even if they follow the law (like here).

I do wonder how Lemmy would be impacted by an influx of DMCA complaints. Instances would have to delete the content but I don't think they have the manpower to do so.

Instances like dbzer0 could also get taken down by complaining to the VPS provider if the instance operators wouldn't comply.

The group tiers you're talking about exist and are called trash guides. If you're only on public trackers the groups might not be as prevalent, but e.g. TorrentLeech is more likely to have them.

The letterboxing with ultra wide monitors might be possible to solve locally with your video player. For MPV there's the dynamic-crop.lua script, which is not perfect but works quite well.

I'm using mpv with Jellyfin on my PC through jellyfin-mpv-shim.

Edit: For Windows you might want to check out MPC-BE. I've found some mentions of "View -> Video Frame -> Touch Window From Outside" but I never tried it.

[1] is a great usenet guide. For automation look at TRaSH guides (Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr) and their german section.

If you have questions the discord server in the linked [1] guide is quite helpful. They created the german trash guide.

Alle regelmäßigen Konsumenten die ich kenne, bauen entweder selbst an oder holen es über Apotheken.
Die, die selten Konsumieren, müssen aktuell noch auf den Schwarzmarkt (außer sie haben Kontakt zu regelmäßigen Konsumenten).
Deshalb sind offizielle Shops, die geringe Mengen verkaufen, sehr wichtig.

Vor kurzem habe ich mit jmd. gesprochen, der "THC-Vapes" von jmd. legal bekommen hat. Die Person war überrascht, als ich erklärte, dass das garantiert illegal war. Es war wohl ein Produkt von irgendeinem Rapper und scheint wohl HHC zu enthalten.

Well yes, it's not shocking given what the show is about. I wrote "awful" because their death was not necessary and more a result of an accident (guy hitting his head). But yeah, "awful" might be a bit strong of a word.

You could just as easily in the spirit of this community do it with the same name and code, same way they do it for cracked games.

You could, and unless you're trying to profit off it the original devs likely won't care.

And also [bank on] pirates to not outright rip them off, which seems to be working for some reason...

They already publish it under GPLv3, they want it to be free (as in freedom) software.

I don't care about any security concerns. If someone does not want to build it themselves or download from a third party they can buy it for their convenience. Or they can take the risk or find another way to install it.

~~For example I looked up whether Strawberry is on Winget, the Microsoft package manager for Windows. And look at that, it's completely free to download by the original developer [1].~~ @upstroke4448@lemmy.dbzer0.com

~~They only ask users who are too lazy and want to download through the Microsoft store for payment. I get why you don't like there being no binaries on their site by them, but they do provide free ways to install it. They just don't tell you about it.~~

~~Edit: For anyone who does not want to click the link: winget install -e --id StrawberryMusicPlayer.Strawberry installs Strawberry on any Windows computer. Officially.~~

GPLv3 is a copy left license. If you legally acquire the source code (it's public already, so anyone does), GPLv3 does not put any restrictions on you when it comes to building, selling, distributing, modifying the code.

I pointed out the name because trademark law is seperate.

And yes, GPLv3 has some requirements like attribution (mention the original developer somewhere), and you have to point out where to get the source code (already public in this case). Also, if you make any changes to the source code you must provide those changes to anyone you distribute too under the same license.

These restrictions apply to eg. UNIT3D too. Some (most) torrent trackers seem to violate the requirement to provide their changes to their users and want to keep them private. But I never asked them whether they'd provide me their source.

Otherwise GPLv3 does not pose much restrictions on it's users, especially not on distribution.

Really scummy on their part.

Anyone is free to build it themselves. Someone could even distribute their own build from the same source under a different name completely legally.

They bank on users being lazy and then pay for the convenience.
