  • and “it was only once” is bullshit

    They checked and then fired the author. I don't see how this is "it was only once" implying nothing changed and it will happen again. Isn't firing the author "holding journalism to a higher standard" already, which you ask for?

  • In my eyes some blame does lie with them. A systematic failure is a failure of many parts. An employee taking notice and following bad instructions is one of them.

    I don't know what information they had, but if they were at the point of intending to share, it seems like whistleblowing would have been the just and moral thing to do even if it means ignoring immediate authoritative structure.

  • I don't see how it's certain loss of job when you could whistleblow without revealing your identity.

  • Did they make contracts with them?

  • Well, there's news about them being the replacement. So, no, they won't.

  • I'm not too familiar with the specifics, but didn't they put their foot down about just two safeguards? Sure, it's having a spine, but I have to wonder if the line they draw isn't a bit too far either way.

  • They're not. Standard lying and propaganda that they do. You can't trust in anything they say, in any reasoning they claim.

  • Germans with a website: well, it's in clear text in the Impressum already, required by law

  • Those two safeguards they deny to remove must be quite the thing.

  • The biggest satellite networks are state owned, no? They're already paid for by the governments, by the people.

  • Wouldn't higher resolution make it much easier to verify and discard conspiracy theories, for those willing?

    Blurry photos and imagery works much better for fantasizing. And is harder to sight and assess.

  • Pretty sure this is about desktop. Mobile doesn't have the same kind of features, if at all. Does Mobile have anything else besides local translation?

  • Regarding security cameras, you can't point your private security camera off your property. If you put it above your entrance, you can't point it to record the entire street.

    Afaik anyway.

    Parking spaces or business must visibly disclose that there's cameras, at least where they would not be generally expected. I'm not too sure about the specifics there though.

  • There's a difference between taking a picture of a person and taking a picture of scenery or event with a person in it in Germany.

    It's a subtle but significant difference. And relevant when talking about do you have to expect for your picture to be taken. You may not care when your in the background or not identifiable but at the same time care when someone knows you and takes photography of you, or takes photos of you where you're the main focus of the image.

    There's a distinction between whether they will be published or are for private use too.

  • Proofreading with adjustments?

  • It's really sad how prevalent it is.

    I think it depends a lot on the games, communities, and moderation, though.

    In my games, at least, I wouldn't say I see much toxicity, even when it can feel different because of its impact. When I do see toxicity, I consistently report and block.

    In all my years, I think I can count misogyny in my games (towards others I overhear) on one hand. Which, of course, doesn't invalidate those who have different experiences. Many women choose not to talk at all because of these issues, which makes it less likely for other people to experience and see such occurrences.

    I find more recent developments interesting where people can change their voice to male and female, which allows people to talk with their voice, but not be identifiable as one or the other. Hopefully it can enable people and make them more comfortable.

    In the winter, Stoßlüften, especially to get moisture out in winter, to reduce and clear out condensed water on windows and prevent mold. I guess bathroom after a shower more than other rooms either way. In the summer, full night, none during the day.

    Sometimes not for a few days, sometimes multiple times a day, sometimes open all day. Depends on the season and a few other things.
