  • I checked your post history out of curiosity if you are shill-bot. And while you apparently spend a non insignificant time writing about Bitcoin, you also wrote pretty smart things too and seem to be a decent person. You also seem engaged in tech and interested in doing good things with it.

    Which confuses the fuck out of me how anyone like you could still argue in 2024 that Bitcoin is anything but a gigantic garbage fire. And not just Bitcoin. Pretty much all copycat crypto currencies it spawned.

    Which is not to be confused with blockchain technology. That has some fringe use cases. It is a valid technology for certain databases in some pretty specific and relatively few instances. But except for very specific and seldom legal cases, the technology hsas pretty much proven it is noehere near a proper replacement for money in general.

    So back to my point: How can someone who seems legitimately decent from most posts I saw, interested in technnology and most probably not having been hit on the head with a brick, write such a shill post with no particular purpose (at least from what I could gather)?

    Obviously you don’t have to reply. I am fucking nobody, it’s your busniness and I am certainly not entitled into an answer. I am really just curious how after especially the last couple of years, after all the existences Bitcoin and it’s offspawns must have ruined, them not having provided any tangible benefits to humanity in the process, how can one still argue it could ever do anything good as a replacement for money. Bitcoins atrocious and devastating track record, I’d argue, tells you all you need to know. And crypto exchanges are just unregulated stock markets where you get scammed left and right.

    Sorry for the rant, I expected a bot. Maybe you still are.












  • There is no system of precedence for rulings of lower courts in Germany, technically not even for higher courts (albeit there de facto is). That’s something you could find in the U.S. though.

    The lower court fucked up and it got overruled. The only thing Sony could have done would have been to bring similar cases to the same lower level court again and again and hope they make the same wrong decision over and over. That’s about the closest thing to precedence they could have relied on. It probably would have worked for Sony though.


  • Das ist richtig. Schade, dass es normale Leute trifft, aber Streik soll ja unangenehm sein.

    Die Streiken ja nicht, weil sie eine zu gute Work-Life-Balance haben und paar Million auf dem Konto, sondern weil sie Missstände anprangern. Die kannst du persönlich nicht ändern, sehr wohl aber die Leute deren Chef du eigentlich bist: Die Politiker.

    Genau bei denen sollte deine Kritik landen, damit sich wss tut und Streiks vielleicht mal überflüssig werden.


  • Wenn du in einer staatlichen Einrichtung bist und dein Ausbilder staatlicher Beschäftigter, dann verletzt er nach deinen Aussagen seine Neutralitätspflicht. Bei Beamten gilt das erst Recht.

    Beschwer dich gerne öfter und gerne auch schriftlich. Du bist da nicht, um vollgeschwurbelt zu werden, sondern weil du ausgebildet werden sollst. Wenn seine Vorgesetze keine Disziplinarmaßnahmen ergreifen will und dir nicht erklären kann, wieso nicht, dann eskalier die Sache nach ein paar Versuchen an die ihr vorgesetzte Person.

    Es ist super, dass du dich gegen sowas wehrst. Vor Repressionen kann dich niemand endgültig bewahren, aber kaum jemand hat dein Rückgrat.





  • Okay, I see that as valuable context to what you wrote before and mostly agree. Thanks for adding that.

    Though I also want to protect children from sexual abuse by adults, which is about the worst thing one can do, I do believe nevertheless it is still the right thing to try and help even the worst among us after they served their time, need rehabilitation more than ever and if they want and can be helped of course.

    That’s a whole different topic to what happened to the man in thr article and I don’t want to go down this specific rabbithole any further. I hope that’s okay with you.
