  • Not familiar enough with this particular project to know, but a quick glance at the commit log shows some overlap in commit authors, so I guess there is at least some level of sharing happening, probably just not through merges.

    But being familiar with this kind of project in general, the branches will probably never be fully merged even in the future, just doesn’t make much sense because they are server software targeting very different versions of a game client. There are also two other branches, but they “only” diverged by like one or two thousand commits so far.





  • Well I for one (not GP) am actually quite glad that it is literally illegal to publicly display here in Germany, especially with the current political climate going on here and elsewhere. You want to just out yourself as a Nazi? Okay, off to prison you go. That’s good. AFAIK there are exemptions for temples and such, e.g. for artistic uses like Games, some Wolfenstein games replaced swastikas in the German release because nobody was sure if that’s legal.

    I don’t think it is actually illegal to display in any country that has a lot of people using it religiously, but yeah it’s a sad fact that it still has to be illegal in so many places such a long time later.











  • Not what OP said over on the (now deleted) Reddit post:

    So the ad was supposed to play in that black box and this is a bug?

    I had Bob’s Burgers on in the background but was playing a game with my kid. The silence caught my attention, but not at first. At first I assumed it was a, “choose your commercial” thing.

    After some more time I thought maybe it was asking if I was still watching, that’s when I looked up to see this

    I waited, nothing. I made a verbal comment and the whole family started looking. We waited, nothing.

    I grabbed my phone, snapped the pic, made the post (but didn’t actually post it), and it was still sitting there.

    I guessed an answer, got it right, and the show came back

    Then I hit “post” to actually make the post.

    Some people say it went away on its own. Others say, like me, they had to answer, and others said even after answering it didn’t go away

    I’ve had Bob’s Burgers on all morning and I’ve yet to see this again



  • Influenza

    • There are no known serious side effects in regard to Influenza vaccination which can be linked to the vaccine itself

    Now that’s just wrong:

    In patients with H[eart]F[ailure], influenza vaccination was associated with a reduced risk of both all-cause and cardiovascular death after extensive adjustment for confounders. Frequent vaccination and vaccination earlier in the year were associated with larger reductions in the risk of death compared with intermittent and late vaccination.

    SCNR, you didn’t specify adverse side effects. :P



  • Again if you want to see it like that, fine. Doesn’t change the fact that people from these countries mean something different than you when they say inciting violence is outlawed. They are obviously referring to their specific laws, that use that specific language, in this case verbatim. The “oh but there are conditionals in that law” bit you are doing here isn’t the gotcha you seem to think it is. We are aware of that. And it’s not relevant to the original question of there being potential legal consequences for the people hosting the lemmy world instance. So what is even your point?


  • Look if you want to apply an overly broad definition of violent speech to score some weird semantic point, be my guest. But the original point upthread was that incitement to violence specifically, not “violent speech” in general, is outlawed in many countries, among them those that are hosting the .world instance. And that point is very much correct.

    Which is all beside my original point, which was that the §130 StGB does not work like you boldly claimed it does.
