what were the titles of your posts?
Why don’t you revert it back to the original structure and instruct makemkv to operate on that directory?
How do judges normally treat destruction of evidence? Do they not care who committed the crime and just make a ruling on how to infer it? I feel like the court would want to know who has committed something as serious as this but I’m not sure of the actual process for it.
I found a number of articles specifically stating that video games and software remain illegal. Unfortunately I couldn’t pinpoint the specific part of the law as they appear to br written in French and was running into hurdles with Google Translate character limits that I couldn’t be bothered to work around.
I’m not sure if it’s explicitly illegal or if music, videos, etc are explicitly exempted, or if software etc is different due to terms of service for example.
Furthermore, it’s illegal for anyone to record your IP address torrenting a work and track you down that way as it violates Swiss data protection laws.
In Switzerland, individuals are still free to download whatever files they like for their own private use (except for software and video games).
Note that uploading or seeding a copyrighted work, which was a misdemeanor under the previous law, remains illegal.

oceanofpdf also has a lot of direct downloads for ebooks and they’re very good
We want to make sure the increasing use of digital payments occurs in a way that helps promote greater competition, innovation and productivity across our entire economy.
If we are to take this stated goal at face value it would seem to be a good thing. Getting ahead of the curve before the tech giants find a way to turn these products against us.
The problem is a lot of Australian’s will not take this at face value especially in the current climate of the movement away from physical cash. It’s hard to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are doing this to protect the Australian people with the lack of any sort of harm or complaint. Feel free to point out if there’s something I’m not thinking about regarding this point.
Personally, this smells extremely fishy to me and the most likely explanation in my mind is that they want to kneecap the tech giants and allow our financial sector to push in this space. I can’t imagine CBA, ANZ, etc particularly enjoying their control over this space being eroded. They have every opportunity to innovate in the space but they’re clearly lacking the drive to do so. Instead of improving competition by forcing the big banks to step up, they’re knee capping actual innovation.
I understand that there are issues regarding receiving informed consent from someone suffering from e.g., late stage dementia. I wish we could see some kind of process that people are able to undertake before they get to this stage that would allow them to be approved for VAD then to be acted on later.
It’s a huge step in the right direction. We need to keep being aware of the issue, discuss it with the people around us in order to create further acceptance. Maybe one day we will see thoughtful legislation expand on this.
I looked into the legislation and it seems to specifically disallow VAD for these cases that you’re talking about (minor edits made for brevity):
A person is not eligible for access to voluntary assisted dying merely because the person has a disability, or dementia, or a mental health impairment.
To avoid doubt, if a person permanently loses decision-making capacity in relation to voluntary assisted dying at any time during the request and assessment process the person ceases to be eligible.
Huge moment for the decency and compassion of those staring down the barrel of certain death. I’ve been following the movement for over a decade and it’s been a long journey but it’s finally here. People need to be given a humane option and the right to choose their own death rather than being forced to die a slow, painful, horrible death and leave their families with the memory of the shell of their former self.
It seems relatively sane:
Like other states, approval in NSW is a two-doctor process.
An applicant’s illness or medical condition must be expected to cause death within six months, or 12 months for a person with a neurodegenerative disease, for them to be eligible.
On new installs it does force you. I had to do it today (Windows 10). There are workaround such as attempting to log into a banned account, or other weird hacks involving disconnecting the internet and know the right combinations of hidden menus to navigate.
So much of our economy is export driven. Particularly to China and particularly coal. Sad.
Which model do you have? Mine doesn’t have a “home screen”. It turns on to the last used input. There is a bar that pops up from the bottom with all the apps on it and that opens when you turn it on. Honestly I didn’t realise how different the UI may be across different models.
I would have but I don’t want to tie my Lemmy account to my actual identity :/
It’s great to see the attempt and also an example of what the C4 guidelines are made to avoid.
Notice how many comments are little nitpicks about this and that. Completely stalling the commit and getting further away from the original point of C4 which is to reduce contributor friction and avoid these kind of endless discussions on PRs.
I don’t want to be too critical because some of that is a clear lack of understanding of the motivations of C4 which is explained more thoroughly in Pieter’s blog posts. You don’t want to adopt a contributor guidelines that you don’t understand of course.
IMO it’s better just to implement it as-is and start using it in practice rather than bikeshedding.
Best practices for minimizing complexity:
- Try out “stacking”
- Simplify software design
I didn’t say there wasn’t information in there but the above paraphrased quote goes to the heart of what my comment was about.
Firstly, how is purchasing their product considered a “best practice”? It’s not generally accepted or the standard superior option by any stretch of the imagination.
Secondly, the option they give to minimizing complexity is to simplify your software design. Ignoring a couple problems with this statement, if they’re being honest this should be above the recommendation to “try out stacking”.
It doesn’t have to be that deep. You can give it a quick read and take from it what you will, but it is an ad for their product more so than it is an article that contains broadly useful information. They have every right to do so and maybe their product really is tremendously great but I’m just calling it how I see it.
If it’s an official commentary you can usually find them via torrents if you download the disc rips. It’s usually not the most popular torrent for that movie as the file sizes tend to be much larger.
Ah yes, the classic Australian tribal war dance
