Apparently the average is up in Germany, you just haven’t had any extremes this year.

If it’s not built to code to code it can pose all sorts of safety hazards to your neighbours or future owners of your property. If you don’t bother getting approval you didn’t bother building it properly either.

At the slightly more silly end, your shed could lower the value of the neighbours property (because it looks like a meth lab, or just a general hillbilly grotto) and the law holds financial harm higher than physical harm most of the time.

Edit: also it’s not just you, it’s any meth head who decides to build their own shed. Laws need to cater for the lowest common denominator.

I see a lot of people claim the training model included copyrighted works particularly books because it can provide a summary of it. But it can provide a summary of visual media too, and no one is claiming it’s sitting there watching films.

If the argument is it has quite a detailed knowledge of the book, that’s not convincing either. All it needs is a summary and it can make up the blanks, and get it close enough we can’t tell the difference. Nothing is original.

Why do you think the laws exist in the first place. Because there is some hurt to somebody else. You just can’t see it.

Just checked all 43 unis in this list and only Monash and carangie melon, which is an international uni, break the trend.

Australia doesn’t. We’re all .edu.au

Edit: here is the list of who uses it. Stands for academia if it wasn’t self evident to anyone else either.

2nd edit: having trouble with escaping characters in the link so it’s defaulting to the ac page when it should be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ac_(second-level_domain)

What @hanni said. But they also split out the unemployment payment as the disability support payment. So it’s all the disabled pension too.

Greedy ? They’re both free products?

To be fair that is a national treasure in my country. And we’re happy to share.

I think the idea is that by being the largest player they could take over and add features that the rest of the fediverse didn’t have. And then the people here (mastodon) would move there to keep following their favourite celeb.

I don’t think there’s any good argument why you couldn’t keep both for different things. Or why Facebook would even care about the ~200k users on mostodon when they cracked 70M in 24 hours

Okay. The person you replied to was talking about subscribing to a threads user in Lemmy.

What are you on about? Thread’s algorithm only affects what you see in the threads app home page. If they federate fully/properly it’ll operate no different than mastodon does now.
