Und nicht vergessen: Olaf Scholz hat als Innensenator in Hamburg die Brechmittelfolter eingeführt gegen Menschen, die als Straßendealer verdächtigt wurden. Was die SPD nicht daran hindert, ihn als Kanzlerkandidaten aufzustellen. Wundert aber vielleicht auch nicht, schließlich hat die SPD ja mindestens auch in Bremen foltern lassen.

Edit: oh, und Steinmeier natürlich - verhindert die Freilassung von Murat Kurnaz aus dem Folterlager Guantanamo und wird daraufhin Bundespräsident.

Mastodon is written in Ruby. Nowhere near as big as Facebook or the ML field yet

FTFY ;)

Derweil veranstaltet der OB von Hanau am Todestag ein "Gedenken" an den Gräbern von Verstorbenen - ohne deren Angehörige zu fragen. Ich meine, wer hätte nicht gerne wildfremde Leute am Grab des eigenen Sohnes an dessen Todestag rumlaufen? Insbesondere wenn der OB eh schon unbeliebt bei den Angehörigen ist...

How did we even end up in a situation like this?

Capitalism ;)

If donations through Patreon were the only way for artists to get money, I don’t think we would have very many high quality movies, series, albums, paintings or sculptures.

This sounds obvious, because if people don't need to worry about money they can invest more time and effort into their art.

But a. this does not mean it's fair. Not within the art scenes (because a lot of people are working hard but don't have the luck for a breakthrough) and certainly not compared to other jobs.

And b. while a movie like Lord of the Rings or a series like the Sopranos do need a lot of money, many expensive movies are actually rather boring because they have to play it safe in order not to risk a fuckton of money. On the other hand, many great movies had a rather small budget. Avengers: Endgame could have paid for 100x Whiplash or Trainspotting, and I'd rather have more of those. And I think movies/series are the outlier - music is much cheaper to make.

But it's hard to solve or even discuss all this in some lemmy comment ;-)

I feel like it might not be sustainable

The current system however is definitely not sustainable.

To some extent, piracy still does reduce the demand for the pirated material, so there’s an indirect harm associated with it, and that’s what makes it unethical

I get your point, especially when it concerns smaller/independent artists. But how would a "fair compensation" look like? Do top selling artists deserve the millions (or even billions) of dollars? Does someone even deserve hundreds of thousands of dollars? Does any artist deserve more money for doing something they love and where they can express themselves than a nurse working night shifts? Is it fair to keep earning money for some work that was done years ago? Does that mean a nurse should get a percentage of the income of every person's life they helped save?

I think the only ethical thing to do is to decouple consumption and support. E.g. I might support some artist by buying their album (or going to their shows), because I think their voice is important, not because it's an album I listen the most to. Or I might not pay artists at all and give money to political causes or other people that need support. Or I might support them in some other way etc.

Pro tip: you can actually get organized in a union and strike just to get more money, no need for AI or getting fired. CEOs hate this trick!

Naja, die haben den 2007 noch geehrt, da finde ich "Nachkriegszeit" schon etwas weit gefasst ;-) Und mit einem Parteiausschlussverfahren gegen Hans-Georg Maaßen haben sie z.B. bis Februar letzten Jahres gewartet - und dann ist der Ausschluss von Parteigericht in erster Instanz abgelehnt worden.

Ja. Siehe (als ein Beispiel von wirklich sehr, sehr vielen) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Filbinger - ein Nazi-Richter (und späterer CDU-Ministerpräsident), der auch für Todesurteile verantwortlich war und den Spruch "Was damals [in der NS-Zeit] rechtens war, kann heute nicht Unrecht sein" geprägt hat, und bei dessen Beerdigung im Jahr 2007 der CDU-Ministerpräsident ihn als "Gegner des NS-Regimes" geehrt hat. (Downvote ist übrigens nicht von mir)
