Regarding security cameras, you can’t point your private security camera off your property. If you put it above your entrance, you can’t point it to record the entire street.
Afaik anyway.
Parking spaces or business must visibly disclose that there’s cameras, at least where they would not be generally expected. I’m not too sure about the specifics there though.
There’s a difference between taking a picture of a person and taking a picture of scenery or event with a person in it in Germany.
It’s a subtle but significant difference. And relevant when talking about do you have to expect for your picture to be taken. You may not care when your in the background or not identifiable but at the same time care when someone knows you and takes photography of you, or takes photos of you where you’re the main focus of the image.
There’s a distinction between whether they will be published or are for private use too.
I’m not the other commenter, and it’s not all encompassing, but I’ll link this one here for DE https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recht_am_eigenen_Bild_(Deutschland)
Proofreading with adjustments?
It’s really sad how prevalent it is.
I think it depends a lot on the games, communities, and moderation, though.
In my games, at least, I wouldn’t say I see much toxicity, even when it can feel different because of its impact. When I do see toxicity, I consistently report and block.
In all my years, I think I can count misogyny in my games (towards others I overhear) on one hand. Which, of course, doesn’t invalidate those who have different experiences. Many women choose not to talk at all because of these issues, which makes it less likely for other people to experience and see such occurrences.
I find more recent developments interesting where people can change their voice to male and female, which allows people to talk with their voice, but not be identifiable as one or the other. Hopefully it can enable people and make them more comfortable.

(I was looking for a different one I thought they made, but this is where I ended up.)

In the winter, Stoßlüften, especially to get moisture out in winter, to reduce and clear out condensed water on windows and prevent mold. I guess bathroom after a shower more than other rooms either way. In the summer, full night, none during the day.
Sometimes not for a few days, sometimes multiple times a day, sometimes open all day. Depends on the season and a few other things.
Any reasoning based on historic belonging is entirely arbitrary. Ignoring an entire people’s factual autonomy and right to self-determination, safety, and security is nothing short of oppressive, toxic, and inhumane. Flaunting and threatening power, entitlement, military, and invasion is horrendous and violates international law, advocating for a violent, corrupt world instead of a cooperative multi-national rule of law and stability.
I watched a documentary recently about the history of China, the two opposing factions. It provided some interesting additional context and things I didn’t know about previously. I’ll refrain from mentioning specifics to keep this comment more focused and concise.
China hides its own atrocieties and history. Both parties were horrendous and sacrificed and murdered their own people. Neither is “the good guy”.
The solution is simple: Accept the status quo. That history played out as it did. China MUST accept Taiwan’s sovereignty.
Not accepting the status quo has a lot of negative consequences. The solution would be simple. Respect and cooperation instead of oppression, instability, uncertainty, and suffering.
Is that realistic? Doesn’t look like it. Possibly with a leadership change. Xi Jinping seemingly already lost some power, and his more aggressive politics have been weakened. Which should not make us think there’s no thread anymore.
I watched this in a YouTube Shorts format a week ago, where they ask a few models about walking or driving to the car wash.
They have some more funny ask AI shorts.
I didn’t read their comment as defensive at all. Their comment ended not in defense but in questioning your original claim/original assessment. The sentence before that serves as reasoning for that.
The first factor is you physical passport, the second factor is your pin.
I don’t see how an age verification could prevent selling verified age. Once they acquire data they could theoretically sell it, illegally, if they ignore law.
The point is, you can share a small subset of fields without others. No need to share your face or passport number.
I’m not sure about whether the authority knows about the request and response at all. I previously thought so, but this description did not mention it, and it doesn’t seem technically required, if both sides can verify public key/cert validity independently, and then communicate with each other.
an exposed MongoDB database containing nearly 1 terabyte of personally identifiable information (PII) exposing approximately a billion sensitive records across 26 countries.
Not even a hack. Pure incompetence and negligence.
It’s not about recent tech, it’s about historical territorial claims, and broader territorial strategy. Of course, while ignoring history/historic context at the same time.
China claiming Taiwan is its territory and threatening invasion, the regular military “training exercises”, even including the specific goal of Taiwan landing operations, and continuous hybrid attacks for years already, like invasion of Taiwan waters with fishing vessels, and cyber attacks, and you’re sitting here claiming China isn’t a country that would invade others. What do you make of these kinds of activities, then?
The what-aboutism deflection doesn’t work very well on an international comment section, either.
Did they, though?
Why do you expect people to change their opinion based on who this is about?
Such people exist, but people who have integrity and think on principle exist too.
No way of actually checking that they did delete anything
Not a random individual, but I would expect a court to be able to do so. Hold them, get an expert, verify.
I’m not the original commenter, but in Germany, you can record in public, but can not record individuals specifically. People walking past in the background while you record something else is fine. Recording someone specifically is not.
That’s the baseline, at least. Exceptions may apply (public figures, public interest, etc).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights#Germany
A succinct statement of the German law can be found in the following judicial statement from the Marlene Dietrich case: the general right of personality has been recognised in the case law of the German Federal Court of Justice since 1954 as a basic right constitutionally guaranteed by Articles 1 and 2 of the Basic Law and at the same time as an “other right” protected in civil law under § 823 (1) of the BGB (established case law since BGHZ 13, 334, 338—readers’ letters). It guarantees as against all the world the protection of human dignity and the right to free development of the personality. Special forms of manifestation of the general right of personality are the right to one’s own picture (§§ 22 ff. of the KUG [de]) and the right to one’s name (§ 12 of the BGB). They guarantee protection of the personality for the sphere regulated by them.
Pretty sure this is about desktop. Mobile doesn’t have the same kind of features, if at all. Does Mobile have anything else besides local translation?
