I’m visiting other companies for work every now and then.
If they are in a fancy new steel-and-concrete office building with open space offices, chances are that cell reception is very bad. I once was in an office where I’m certain they had installed cell blockers on the toilets.
I think, you have a higher character limit?
I just looked into it briefly and you’re right, there seems to have been some development:

Translation: Criminal liability of the downloader
However, users who download this data also infringe copyrights if it is obvious to a reasonable and fair-minded person that the public presentation (the offer on the servers of the one-click hoster) is made without the permission of the actual rights holder. This is certainly the case if, for example, a film is offered before its theatrical release. However, the obviousness should also be given after the theatrical release, since no one can expect a film production company to make its films available free of charge on servers of one-click hosts.

It also states that downloaders are currently not being pursued, because it is too difficult to prove.
Very much depends on the country, though. In Germany for example, it is illegal to actively share media (so upload via torrent), but it’s “legal” (ie, not fineable) to stream or download via one-click-hosters.
I’ll check it out, thanks!
Huh? Can you elaborate? I have an LG TV with webOS (useless), so I’m about to buy an Android box.
It is not connected to the Lemmy account… I used their URL “vger.app” at first, but then lemmy.world implemented it themselves. When I logged in over that URL, I had to “rehide” the topics.
Sorry, I don’t know the specifics.
Voyager is, by far, the best lemmy experience I’ve tried. Hiding posts is a godsend. And they did all this as a web app?? Impressive!
I briefly looked into this, but then reddit shit the bed :-)
Can you be a little more specific? I’m in Europe. Who do I have to pay to get access to a sweet server? I’m only watching English content.
Thanks!
I’ll check this out, thanks!
Very nice, thanks for the write up!
Agreed. Lately, I’m trying to take the stance “it’s just business” whenever companies modify their product for the worse. Happened with Youtube (thank god for Revanced), Netflix, Reddit and Twitter. If you don’t like the developments just force yourself to evolve and move on.
I read a couple of answers here, but I thought I’d give my 2 cents anyway. I mostly agree with the others that said it’s not a big deal and seems to be a principle of hers.
I saw that you’re not from the US. In Germany, there’s an unwritten rule that you never bring any kind of food or beverage to a restaurant. We have other fun stuff like most restaurants not giving out free water or charging you for using the toilet if you haven’t bought anything.
I could see her being upset with you if you drank your own water and ate your own food in the restaurant. But, again, that’s only from my German point of view.
