If you wanted a bigger phone it sounds like you just didn’t want an SE.

I wish the screen was bigger on my work phone, but since I don’t use it as much as my Pixel 6A I don’t really care too much.

The SE really could benefit from less bezels.

Don’t they still sell the third gen SE? My work phone is a third gen SE and it works perfectly well.

No, pretty much everyone agrees with you. It’s like posting on unpopular opinions: “I think Hitler was a bad person”

I haven’t seen one in a while either, but looking at images it does indeed appear that there are no region markings on the cars.

The police is called “polismyndigheten” which is a governmental organisation where all police staff (both civilians and no civilians) are employed (with some exceptions like the “security police” which is a fully separate organisation).

And no, a police from the Stockholm police won’t patrol in a city on the other side of the country. There are police districts and such but it’s still the same organisation. You could probably get transferred to the other side of the country, but that would obviously be a bad idea unless the employee is moving anyways. I suspect the union might have something to say if they decide to transfer people wherever for no reason.

Except in informal settings the police is only called the police. For example police cars only say “Police” and never “Stockholm police” or similar.

But there are obviously some specialised divisions/groups within the organisation that are only present in one place (probably Stockholm). A very small police station in a small town could very well be investigating murder but I suspect they will likely want help from some other station or specialist division if the case is complex.

Interesting.

Q. How does copyright apply to library lending? What is the “first sale doctrine” and how does it apply to libraries? Why are the rules for lending e-books different than print books? How does copyright relate to used book sales?

http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#109

You get a legal text which is almost completely unreadable to me.

But the law explicitly mentions video games:

(B) This subsection does not apply to—

(i) a computer program which is embodied in a machine or product and which cannot be copied during the ordinary operation or use of the machine or product; or

(ii) a computer program embodied in or used in conjunction with a limited purpose computer that is designed for playing video games and may be designed for other purposes.

© Nothing in this subsection affects any provision of chapter 9 of this title.

Do I understand the section above that? Hell no. It’s in a foreign language to me (literally and figuratively).

I feed the entire section to chatGPT and asked it about libraries and video games. It says that video games generally aren’t allowed to be lend at libraries. It’s AI so take it with a grain of salt but to be fair LLMs are pretty good at analysing large amounts of text like this. But if you can read it, I encourage you to do that instead.

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 17 U.S.C. § 106 and 17 U.S.C. § 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:

1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.

I’m no lawyer, but I can’t really find a way that fair use is applicable in this case. Also point 4 is taken into consideration here. And no I obviously don’t agree that games shouldn’t be allowed in libraries. The law should be changed. I just don’t see how fair use is relevant.

No, just laws.

That applies to most of the drama surrounding Linux.

Spammers ruined this not email companies.

Comparable, yes.

Suggest a country then

If you prefer medieval times then sure.

It’s all you talk about though.

No one cares about Adam when his ideas are frankly stupid. Or at least how you describe them. He might be a solid dude.

No, it’s government sanctioned non anarchy.

Go to Antarctica or something if you don’t like society.

Lol, are you some sovereign citizen‽

The world doesn’t work like that. You can’t just say “No that thing isn’t your! I didn’t agree with it being yours.”

You honestly seem obsessed with that adam dude.

I think your problem is that you seem to think that “perfect” mathematical models will ever work in real life.

Can you point to a few examples of economists using it? Obviously I won’t count Lemmy users.

Or just make a better ruler?

And why should I listen to someone that defines a word differently than everyone else?
