Two more. I wish I’d had another go at the Tarot cards. They look soo good, but my focus was a little off (and they’re quite tricky to photograph in general!)

Upsides of a 60s manual focus lens:Absolutely dirt cheapLightweightAperture ring way more satisfied than digital dialDownsides:Its super easy to take just out of focus photos when you’re moving quickly/being lazy and don’t check the image at full magnification

@mcc they've strategically never taken it to parliament because if they lose there they'd be banned from bringing it back for a term

(Boosts encouraged) Hey 🇩🇪 German friends, Do any of you have a lawyer you or a friend have used and recommend specialising in medical matters? Specifically the issue here is an insurance claim being rejected because of a professional claiming to have a required qualification they do not.

There's a real German university called "Macromedia University" but my brain is just like "that's where you learn how to make Flash animations right?" :drgn_think_woozy:

A perhaps niche question I’ve been trying to find the answer for which someone on here might know the answer to: what’s the present day copyright status of works made for or by the former government of the DDR?(Specifically the copyright state in present day Germany, because per the Berne convention everything else will flow from there)

@filippo @oec @kasperd I have seen this incorrect belief from multiple people at this point and i’m deeply curious who introduced it because I don’t think even Bernstein’s screens said it (but I must confess I only lightly skimmed them, having more important things to do with my time…)

To paraphrase a post I just readI have learned that (a named member of a community safety team) is saying that evidence against me exists, but they cannot share it without endangering othersThis means (said team) is effectively judging me based upon secret evidence against without opportunity for due process or defenceThis isn’t how a community safety team should actActually, no, this is exactly how a community safety team must conduct its’ business.As a relatively extreme example: let’s say I’m a member of such a team, and I become aware that a project member has nonconsentually distributed nude photos of their former partner. The evidence there is the offence; clearly I cannot just publically republish those photos. Lets say you approach me with logs of a 1:1 conversation you had with a person. If I redistribute those, either to the accused or to the public, I am fundamentally revealing to the accused that you provided those logs; this fundamentally exposes you to harm and abuse from the accused person. Depending upon jurisdiction, publication of such accusations can also be a legal violation of the accused’s right to privacy under data protection law, or considered libelious or slanderous, or at least sufficient grounds for one to attempt such a lawsuit. This is not a risk that you can generally take or that most people would be willing to take. This is why, in general, safety and moderation teams will not comment on expulsions or bans except in the most general terms unless forced otherwiseYes, you have to trust the safety team’s assesment as to whether the provided information and/or evidence is fake, misleadingly quoted or genuine. Yes, you have to trust their decision. Yes, they might get it wrong. Yes, this is imperfect. A community safety team is not a court. They do not have the evidentiary standards of a court. They also do not have the powers of a court to compel release of evidence, nor to restrain from redistributing confidential evidence or to reasonably punish them for such mishandling. The court process is not the be all and end all of conflict resolution; there is a large gap between “proven to a court’s satisfaction to convict” and “disproven”, and there is also a large gap between “unreasonable behaviour within a community” and “unreasonable behaviour punishable by law”Now, I would say that in general a community safety team should not comment at all on their actions, but when you repeatedly publically name members of said safety team to your thousands of followers, with the inevitable consequential result being discreditation at best and in all likely circumstances harassment, you have to wonder whether you are actually a safe and responsible person to have as a part of a community.

@whitequark Do you have access to any of the confidential information here, or are you going purely based upon what is public?That Person A is terrible does not mean that Person B is not terrible. That logs exist does not mean that information does not exist outside of the logs. I have no ongoing association with either party in the concrete case. I have knowledge ofsome nonpublic information not from either party that I consider materially relevant but i would not consider sufficient to base a decision upon.

@whitequark My agenda as much as it exists is to remind people that the court of public opinion is, in practice, a lynch mob.

@cwebber even if the mouse protocol is insecure I lock my devices when I'm not there so you can only engage in active attacks and only if you can pull up the onscreen keyboard

@embr you should not have a Czunk. The Czunk is not a good idea.

@futurebird @syllopsium @Seruko @cstross @GossiTheDog In the UK since 1995 it’s an unequivocal yes:(7) “ Pseudo-photograph ” means an image, whether made by computer-graphics or otherwise howsoever, which appears to be a photograph. (8) If the impression conveyed by a pseudo-photograph is that the person shown is a child, the pseudo-photograph shall be treated for all purposes of this Act as showing a child and so shall a pseudo-photograph where the predominant impression conveyed is that the person shown is a child notwithstanding that some of the physical characteristics shown are those of an adult.

This is half shitpost, half commentary on the way that learning a language does feel a bit plural. Or I guess another way of putting it is that IFS is right.
