@punissuer @m04 @FediPact I'm not a lawyer (and I only can refer to ones in my juristiction, which is #Germany (so i.e. @wbs_legal would be the form to get in touch with) so your mileage is different...

  • However #AFAICT having extortive pricing and predatory business models will likely get ripped apart in court (see lawyers like #Gravenreuth who made their money preyong on alleged spammers and pirates, demanding absurdly high cease-and-decist fees to not press charges) as #FRAND licensing would likely be mandated.

Plus a mere HTTP(S) request would likely not hold up in court as an informed contractual agreement customary for that sum.

  • Similarly right-extremist tinfoilhats aka. "Reich Citizens" fail get their made-up debts (against legal and natural persons in Germany) from overseas (i.e. #USA) enforced.

By contrast giving them a custom 402 (Payment Required) error or 403 (Forbidden) page demandng them to contract for access may be deemed sifficient if done ASN-wide.

  • #Funfact: #ESPN did 403 most website visitors from the U.S. if their ISP didn't pay their ransom demands.

Personally I'm considering to block all #GAFAMS and "#AI" companies from my systems...

#TIL that some #SpeechToText models interpret audio noise as [applause]. 👏

So you know you've messed things up, if you speak to your self-developed Speech-To-Text wrapper and it outputs: [applause]. 😬

Like "Hey you've messed things up!" *Clap, clap, clap* 👏

Not sure I like this kind of encouragement...🤨

Did you know that in all of time, Lego has only ever made one properly close to NSFW mini fig? (That I know of anyway)

Brick Daddy is the first and only official Lego Pimp. They have a Glow in the Dark Head, wear a Purple (probably suede) suit, and prefer being driven around in their Lunar Limo. Also, they're the leader of "The Black Hole Gang".

Kleiner Funfact am Rande:

Die Band „UK Subs“ (deren Sänger mittlerweile über 80 Jahre alt ist und gestern in Wacken aufgetreten ist) hat alle ihre Alben in aufsteigender Reihenfolge des ABCs benannt. Bis rauf zum „Z“.

Find ich lustig.

I had never realized this: August is the month of Augustus. Augustus was the adopted son of Caesar, so he got Caesar's name: Gaius Iulius Caesar. But he was Octauius before, that's why G. Iulius Caesar Octauianus.

Augustus was Octauius, which means "eighth".

August is the 8th month. ❗️

#funFact navigating new UI settings is confusing enough with a fully functional screen, nearly impossible when you can only see a quarter of the screen

#proTip if you want to curb your smart phone usage, damaging the screen so you can only see a quarter of it will do the trick
