(Sounds like you know that, for the others). You can't opt out of this, for regular income. You can only leave the church. And that can cost a bit (seems like up to 60€?), depending on where you are in Germany.

That puts it too strongly. Yes, that the german state is collecting the money for the church is strange. The biggest political party calls itself christian. Then there is the habit of having religious institutions organize public daycare (k

Intel's iGPU driver might have been free for longer, but it also wasn't very good. If you tried to run games with it that wasn't a great experience, even with the i5-5676C and its relatively strong Iris Pro graphics. And that

Why? The AMD drivers for Linux are also free, aren't they? I doubt that the 6.4 kernel improves performance enough to make up the difference to AMD cards in their category, but granted, that was the estimation I mentioned. A newer sour

So much so that publishers created special law to make unpaid snippets illegal in the context of global search engines, specifically to target Google, outside of copyright. Happened in the EU, Canada (I think) and Australia.

Clear?! I specifically gave the example of selling it not being covered by what I'm talking about. But other parties can definitely "xerox" a book and read it. Use its content. Talk about what is written in it. Quote it. Ther

A publisher publishes. Once something is published, once something is public, the control a publisher has over the published thing is limited. For example, a publisher can not choose who reads a book after it is sold, who reads an article a
