Germany is a very special case. AFAIK you can't lose the right to things you create here, that means the "copyright" (Urheberrecht) of code you create will always belong to you. You can't sell it or lose it in any other

Manjaro stable is behind Arch ca. 2 weeks. Unstable a day or two. Some packages get fast tracked. For example the Firefox update came yesterday, hours after release.

Sorry I meant the European Space Operation Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany. Its almost neighboring the dagger complex [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagger_Complex ] of the US INSCOM/NSA.

Pretty obvious how the EU will deal with it. I once read the official statement of the German government that there is no way the US is spying on us while walking past dozens of huge radomes on a US base close to ESA hq. I read the news whe

My step-grandfather grew up in a very poor part of south Germany. He was sold by his parents at 7 years to herd sheep. That must've been ~ 1920. During WW2 he fought in Stalingrad and survived a Russian POW camp with maybe 10% survival

On the other hand there are players that find bugs from Skyrim in Fallout 4. The 3D engine still binds physics to FPS in Fallout 76 and can't go over 60. I mean this is a company that currently releases a multiplayer game without any a

Only companies that are bad at tech implement it this way. Bethesda is really bad at tech. They use a ancient engine that binds physics calculation to frames and can't go over 60 FPS. They warned Fallout 76 fans during the Beta that th

My blanked statement indeed does not cover some fundamental aspects. IP/Copyright laws are in place and will restrict consumer rights. So pirating software is still illegal. BUT AFAIK you can make legal copies for Backup purposes of yo

We're going full circle here. The EULAs, licenses etc. of US companies that try to restrict how you can use the Hardware/Software you bought are void in Germany (probably most of EU too) and can be ignored. In many cases they void

The Nvidia driver licenses that prohibit US companies from using the HW are probably void in Germany/EU. Happens a lot.

Really hard to answer. I'd say the Soviet Union because they had the political infrastructure for localized government by the workers (Soviets). They never gave them any real power tough and kept it centralized.

AFAIK the closest we got to full blown capitalism was Chile under Pinochet. The "Chicago boys" implemented policy that came close to a totally free market. The results were that the upper class gained wealth at a higher rate than

I've seen a lot of those since a couple of years. Either when searching for very recent events or Autoplay. Autoplay ones would get a full view when I'm not looking at the screen, sleeping etc.
