  • With your comments I found additional German legal guidance that mostly matches what you said. It appears that Germany does indeed have a portion of privacy from someone intentionally walking up to you and taking your picture. I don't think this invalidates my original point because it doesn't appear that expectation of privacy extends to installed surveillance cameras in public.

    However, I appreciate having a better understanding of German law. Thank you.

  • Forgive the machine translation to English, but reading that shows the a very similar exception to privacy protection we have here in the USA

    Here's one example:

    "There are exceptions to events (demonstrations, general meetings, cultural events, etc.). Here, participants must expect to be photographed. This is about what is happening and not about the person itself. "

    Most of the wiki article is talking specifically about copyright, which isn't the scope of what we're talking about. Publication of taken images is a different topic.

  • Apathy? Not at all. Its simply a matter of established law, in the USA anyway. I can't speak to the legal systems of the other 140+ countries on planet Earth.

    Can you cite a law in the USA or in your own country where you have a right to privacy making photographing you simply standing in a public park an illegal act perpetrated by another person or government entity?

  • Now if they can just notify you that some asshole is recording you on their cell phone instead of reading reddit.

    If you're out in public, always assume you're on someone's camera. That isn't really new either.

  • What is a relatively inexpensive item that offers entertainment beyond it's intented usecase?

    Jump

  • Growing up, our household had a giant roll of butcher paper. It was 2 ft (60cm) wide and about 1000 feet (300m) long roll. I have no idea why we had it, but as kids we were allowed to use as much as we wanted for whatever we wanted. It turned into a childhood of projects, games, costumes, banners, signs, crafts, wrappings, pranks, etc. Close to the beginning as kids, we'd asked for art supplies like markers, paint, pens, pencils, charcoal, etc to transform that boring cheap paper into different universes. We became creative because it was available.

    Something about having an unlimited supply of something and infinite permissions was an unexpected freedom.

  • I mean, I expect a hockey team to be in its locker room. Did they actively invite Patel, or did Patel just show up uninvited. I think its the latter, right?

  • The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about

    Jump

  • Its not an equally slow CPU. These boards support Xeon CPUs that first launched 11 years after DDR3.

    The implication is that there are users needing large RAM footprints that aren't CPU bound. The hit in performance on the RAM isn't significant enough to justify spending orders of magnitude more for modern DDR5 which is in short supply.

    In computing history there's precedent for this. Amiga computers had a small amount of "Fast RAM" which was extremely expensive, but the CPU could address a second bank of "Chip RAM" which was significantly slower but much much cheaper.

    We could see this idea return in modern computers.

  • Trump vows to raise worldwide tariffs to 15% ‘effective immediately’

    Jump

  • He also needs that revenue to personally enrich himself from taxpayer money. He gave himself $10 billion of taxpayer money for creating his Board of "peace".

    The population of the USA as of Feb 2026 is 342.3 million people. This means that trump personally took $29.21 from every single American living today (including newborn children and aging senior citizens) and put that money in his personal bank account.

    Its things like this that I cannot understand how poverty stricken trump supporters are still okay with him and his actions.

  • What I'm surprised hasn't happened yet is RAM ICs being recycled at the retail level. As in, you could bring in an old laptop or phone with 32GB of soldered RAM and it would be desoldered and sold for cash or possibly even soldered into a new device you buy from that retailer.

    I wonder how close we are to that business model arriving.

    Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of our nation. Acting to disenfranchise citizens from voting with plans from our current administration of jackbooted paramilitary thugs at polling places is a threat to America.

  • There are limits to appeals. Each appeal up the chain requires that court to agree to hear the challenge of the appeal. Depending on the jurisdicion, I think the limit would be only 3 or 4 appeals with that last one being the Supreme Court of the United States. If the next higher court declines to hear the appeal, the lower courts ruling stands.

  • Of course he will. That new approach will be challenged in court, but will take another 12-18 months for there to be a ruling against it, meanwhile trump will keep using tariffs against our friends and allies further alienating and isolating the United State globally.

  • The real tragedy for Kirstie Alley is that the brain worms in Wrath of Kahn that make your mind simple, pliable, and open to suggestion by evil controlling men weren't props. Alley suffered dearly in her later years of life from those.

  • There are a whole bunch of one-off crossovers with Star Trek in superhero comics. Another one I remember is a crossover of DC's Green Lantern and the Kelvin universe Star Trek crew.

    These are reserve for a special kind of nerd, like myself, that knows both Star Trek and Green Lantern lore. The story would be lost on most other audiences.
