Unless they are taken down, it won't be an issue. Given they've existed for a good while it's unlikely to cause a problen. Even then, hopefully they delete your payment details after a few weeks/months.

If not, paying = assisting a criminal organisation could be a crime depending on your jurisdiction. But most of the time customers aren't prosecuted, but that can change at any point in time.

Title

Torrent sites also have the issue of being centralised by having a domain and servers at some place. Imo the reason torrent sites are targeted less is that they are more inconvenient and thus less of a focus for anti-piracy groups. They generally focus on the most prominent way to infringe on their copyright.

Given the increase in piracy services taken down lately, I wouldn't be surprised if a torrent site was hit at some point too. Unfortunately ;)

Football is not usually distributed over torrents and thus seedboxes. These IPTV providers restream the live feed with a few seconds delay - just like their legal counterparts. They usually cost around 5-20€/£ per month, depending on the subscription duration (and number if simultaneous streams).

Without testing I'd try "F1".."F12". Edit: On second thought you likely mean media keys and such. There's a tool called wev which shows a keys event name when pressed. E.g. the audio stop media key is "XF86AudioStop". (When they are already bound they might not show up, because the compositor does not send them to wev).

Noch dazu sind die einzigen, die sich garantiert eh nicht an die Vorgaben halten, Kriminelle, die dann trotzdem ihre Nachrichten verschlüsseln.

Gut auf den Punkt gebracht.

Mit Sicherheit wird auch eine Ausnahme für Politiker, bzw. Parlamentarier und Regierungsmitglieder, eingefügt. Für Journalisten wsl. nicht.

Leider wollen die meisten Menschen nicht sehen, dass sich solche Gesetze praktisch nicht von den Überwachungsgesetzen autokratischer Staaten unterscheiden. Mein (nicht so) neues Lieblingszitat ist „So geht die Freiheit zugrunde - mit donnerndem Applaus.“ — Padmé über Palpatine. Denn viele Bürger glauben, Fälschlicherweise, dass solche Gesetze sie selbst doch nie betreffen würden. Es ist das gleiche mit Wählern von Rechten Parteien, die "gute Ausländer" kennen, und glauben, dass Ausländerfeindliche Maßnahmen, nur die "bösen Ausländer" betreffen.

That was the case, but now that they no longer support port forwarding thinking about alternatives is a good idea. For me, a VPN without port forwarding is not an option (since I use private trackers).

Sadly they've gone up in price over the last 6 months.

Mindfactory had 16TB for 160€ (10€/TB), but now they want 240€ for 18TB (13.3€/TB).

On eBay there's sellers like HMCW, which are now also more expensive. But returns/warranty are questionable to say the least.

Edit: I wanna punch myself because I didn't get one at the time.

Mit dem Argument könnte Russland die Herausgabe von PGP-Keys durch Thunderbird einfordern.

Da Delta Chat auf SMTP basiert, wird es schwer für Russland zu blockieren sein — außer sie blockieren verschlüsselte E-Mails generell. Letzteres ist leider nicht unrealistisch.

Da Delta Chat auch an Gegenmaßnahmen arbeitet, um eventuelle Netzsperren zu umgehen, läuft es wsl auf ein Katz-und- Mausspiel aus. Dienste vs. Netzsperren, wie wir sie zunehmend in China, Kuba & Russland haben, wird uns mit Sicherheit noch Jahrzehnte begleiten.

Youtube kann den Namen eines Videos automatisch übersetzen, wenn der Uploader das will

Soweit ich weiß, ist die automatische Übersetzung standardmäßig aktiviert. Die wenigsten Uploader werden das deaktivieren.


Ich persönlich finde das automatische Übersetzen ein Unding. Ich beherrsche EN & DE, muss mich aber für eine Sprache entscheiden. Entweder sind deutsche Titel schlecht, weil sie übersetzt sind, oder alle englischen Titel sind schlecht, weil sie übersetzt sind. Je nach Thema sind Titel komplett falsch - da wäre mir kein Titel lieber.

Billboard ads can cost hundreds of thousands depending on the location and duration (e.g. Times Square, NY). TV ads, YT ads, streaming services ads, and search engine ads likely add up too. Big streamers will likely take quite a bit too. Maybe they'll do a press conference to promote their game, which can be incredibly expensive location-wise.

But I agree, I can't comprehend how it can be that expensive either.

Don't forget marketing: be it movies or games, marketing likes to cost as much as the production of the media itself.

Sadly it seems to be necessary as many people just won't know about some piece of media without it. Streamers play games they are paid to play, "reviewers" cover games they are paid to cover or know about through the hype generated by ads.

 

Sadly there's no recording of this talk.

COSMIC’s Alpha 2 release builds upon that work with functionality built out for Files, additional Settings pages, considerable infrastructure work for screen reader support+, and some highly requested window management features. System76 is ecstatic at the level of excitement and collaboration so far with alpha testers and early app & applet developers, and we look forward to seeing what comes from these new additions.

...

The second COSMIC alpha will be released on September 26th. Those participating in Alpha 1 on Pop!_OS can simply update through the COSMIC App Store to transition. This alpha will be followed by monthly alpha releases until all core features have been built out.
