Totally forgot the most obvious ones! I think "the" and "thing" are difficult to some degree for most non-English speakers. Actually, languages that have those both or something very close naturally are very rare. Only I

How well do you cope then with e.g. Germanic and Eastern European features (such as vowels ä, ö, ü/y, y/ы and schwa, difficult consonant clusters, and short/long vowels and consonants independent of stress)?

Looks like the moral rights regime in Australia is pretty similar to that in many civil law systems. You cannot just revoke your license based on the right of integrity. Where do you get that idea from? Based on the introduction, it works j

Apache-2.0 has corporate-friendly patent clauses missing from most other permissive licenses.

Or lacking adequate case law, that's what the FSF et al. would want you to believe, anyhow. Although a bit vaguely drafted in this respect, the copyleft effect of GPL depends on the concept of a derivative work under copyright law. It

What's this obsession with ivermectin? I'm not American, so sincerely wondering.

Funny, "perätön" in Finnish means "unfounded", "baseless". I have a hard time believing this is a co-incidence.

Yeah, for sure.

I would not recommend this article if you can't handle a load of New York pasta nerdiness before getting to the SAUCE, capisci?

Regarding [1], do you know Brazilian law? I don't. In any case, the right to not incriminate yourself has been widely adopted, and in principle, could perhaps be invoked here, too.

I just now looked and noticed the journalist interviewed here also tells about his participation in a small pro-Assad info op, too, i.e., a bit of Douma denialism, an old Grayzone (or should I say Roublezone) favorite. Disgusting how low th

I still remember when The Exiled were openly derisive of Assange. Now that they represent the same scene of broadly tankie-ish anti-American populism (not speculating on their reasons or connections to any regimes...), it seems it's a

True, although this has little to do with the issues of fair trial and trial coverage.

No need to re-explain, I understood you well enough. Not trying to make fun of you either, it's just funny you end up calling restrictive something which is widely known as "permissive". Of course, it's called permissive

I agree and thought that was well-conveyed, but guess not.

If you think GDPR always requires consent, you would be wrong. Consent is just one of many possible legal bases, and usually the one you use only when you can't use any of the rest. In this case, and more widely, it's not at all c

What if that "bad" is insignificant compared to the good produced by that code as part of proprietary software? That scenario is impossible with GPL. Effectively, you're just restricting the business models of your users. It

I see the hypocrisy. But you didn't mean to downplay the the very real human rights violations of the Belarusian regime, right?

Not my experience. Away from some parts of Eastern and Southern Europe for lack of opportunities, but generally out of EU, no. And anyway, if your kid goes to college, he or she is very likely to be of legal age and have, like, opinions of

The part of GDPR that gets applied here is the general standard for obtaining consent. It's very high-level stuff... So, without very specific case law, it's hard to say. The requirement that it should be as easy to revoke consent

At least Linux and Windows shortcuts are easier to remember as they start with basically words, not a combination of weird symbols you never learn cause you never look at them (cause who looks at the keyboard when they type).

That's weird use of the term "soft power".

The article is not that wrong, though. The GDPR is quite an abstract piece of legislation and it's no wonder specific technical terms aren't used. To be precise, the article author should have perhaps talked rather about GDPR-base

Agree. I spent five months home with a small toddler of around a year of age. He did get very attached to me, but let's face it, their needs at that stage are very simple. Actually, I think he got much more out of kindie subsequently,

No way. Sadly, the sole existence of troll farms is enough to create and reinforce political paranoia. Your message (parent) here, for example, is exactly the kind of stuff I've come to associate with Russian and similar trolling (sowi

Yeah, it actually sucks as a place to read books. Too many tourists and visitors, and too few quiet, comfortable reading spaces. There are much better libraries for such in Helsinki, although some of those good places (eg. smaller Helsinki

Consent is a poor tool for such a wide category of data. If you're looking for actual informed consent, we are talking about something either practically impossible or at least a massive strain on people's time and decision-making

With all respect, I guess you haven't been following the Catalonian affair that closely then. To me it unfortunately looks like enforcement of laws around this issue has long become politicized to the point of endangering the rule of l
