It’s fascinating the reaction to someone discussing something, you block them and increase the bubble you live in. Go ahead, block, down vote, or whatever you want, I’ll continue the discussion anyway.
Yes I call that literally bumping into someone, but I’m not a native English speaker, so maybe there is a layer to that idiom unbeknownst to me. You seem eager to make assumptions though, like you seem to imply now that I think that’s OK? Well, it’s OK to trip and accidentally hit someone, it’s not OK to fake tripping to assault, or steal from, someone. It seems that should have been very obvious… Anyway I am not expecting a reasonable response from you anymore if that’s the level of your discussion.
The guy bumps into her, and in a weird way it feels intentional, but I wouldn’t feel sure of it just by the video, the only thing I feel confident to assume is that he is tripping balls, maybe so much he really suddenly fell like that? Who knows… His right hand grabs the hip of the girl, and the left one we cannot see it. It could be he reached for a boob grab, kinda odd from that angle, it seems easier to reach for the ass from behind but I don’t have experience on groping people without consent so what do I know. I was also suspicious if he tried to grab something from the backpack but looking closely it doesn’t look like it. The lack of reaction of the girl is strange as well, but maybe she is high as the sky and doesn’t notice shit, she just keeps dancing.

No, but unfortunately not wanting to become an internet sensation is not going to protect you from becoming one. I respect him for not wanting to be known, but none of us is in control of that. What we do in public may be seen and shared without us having a say in it.

Way to reduce the conversation to nothingness… Good enough guy? We literally know nothing about him, not even the name. The only thing we see from him is his (awesome techno) dancing and him threatening a guy for bumping into a girl, probably with the intention of protecting the girl but he doesn’t seem to check on her or anything. We don’t know anything.
I already said that each individual can choose to follow his wish or not, but the conversation is clearly around the legal aspect, he is not requesting to be left alone (not himself literally), his lawyer said for him he doesn’t want to be a public figure to defend him from the author of the video profiting from his image (and I’m glad he succeeded). Since what we have is the word of a lawyer, this conversation refers mostly to the legal aspect, which is what the first comment downvoted implied, good luck defending a client to not be a public figure after being recorded in a public place. No one can control that, no matter what we would like to think or what we feel about it.
You are free to drop the conversation at any time you feel is right, I’ll be glad to continue commenting on this topic with whomever because for me (who absolutely knows the bare minimum of law) it is fascinating. The idea of being anonymous is such an abstract concept (one that I very much like to protect) that strange situations occur when law and the internet collide.
A few countries have tried (and some succeeded I think) to pass laws to protect the public image of individuals, such laws that I’ve seen are called the right to be forgotten. It’s an easy idea to defend, we all want to be able to remove ourselves from the harsh view of society and something important to people suffering all kinds of abuse. But the law was pushed by assholes that wanted to use it to censor news and search engines to hide their history of corruption or whatever else. The right to anonymity doesn’t override everything else, and such is this case, and unfortunately for our techno viking it won’t remove him from the internet, at least I’m glad he managed to keep his name hidden.

Your feelings have nothing to do here, nor mine. We all have a right to our image but it applies to specific cases, not everything. If you are in a public place and someone takes a photo and you are in it, well, that’s how it goes. We might not like it and there is a case to be made for morality but it is not forbidden by law. Remember the case of those two in a stadium or concert or some shit and when they saw themselves in the big screen hugging they hid under the barrier because they were cheating on their respective partners? Wouldn’t they like to say no one is allowed to take their images x) but they can’t. Because there was no malicious intent in the recording, they don’t own the rights of the recording, and even if they own the rights to their image, they were in a public space where cameras are expected. They were not the objective of the camera, they were not the center of attention, so their right doesn’t apply here. Now if someone would try selling shirts with their image from the video, they could legally fight it and stop the seller.
Now for the techno-viking, knowing his wish to remain anonymous I would be on the side of trying to respect it by not sharing even more his video, but in this case, legally it is a bit complex, he is slightly the main focus of the video, but the video is a recording of a public event and might be more than just him but cut to this specific length only. He might not have wanted to be a famous internet sensation but rarely ever anyone can choose whether they are or not, and the right to our image rarely applies to memes. Where the author of the video fucked up is trying to make him into a sellable image.
So the previous comments being downvoted are actually more right than wrong, they are just expressing the reality that so many do not like in Lemmy.
The techno-viking is internet history, whether he likes it or not, and whether some respect his wish or not is up to each person, but legally I wouldn’t bet on him having any ground.

Personally I always hated the UI. Big bold ugly boxes of bright colors and a little text in a corner? Ugh
The best phone hardware and best phone UI, Nokia N900 with Maemo. Will never forgive Microsoft for grabbing Nokia and fucking it up, although Nokia managers were doing great on their own on destroying the company.
And special mention to the OpenMoko project. Pity it died.

Yeah, well, we are in mildly infuriating, I don’t expect to find big issues here… No one will come here to say “I can’t afford a house/food” or “I lost my job and will loose my house! It is mildly infuriating”

No one is talking of old things that still work. Op just bought something new that still uses micro USB though, that would ruin my day too tbh.

As far as I know, Tesla never had any relationship, that is, with a human. But at some point he got obsessed with pidgeons and the story goes that he fell in love with one. But I don’t remember many details anymore, or the veracity of it. So take it with a grain of salt.

I’m glad to see others sharing the best way to eat a hotdog.
I found it on my own, had tortillas from making tacos, but run out of meat, so I checked what else I had, and there it was, a perfectly nice sausage. So I made myself a Mex dog and I loved it, much better than with buns and a lot less messy.

I agree with you and your proposal with the exception of 5 figure income having no income tax. At a billion level it might not be so important the difference between one or two billion. But on the 5 digits salaries, the difference of someone making 30k or someone making 80k is definitely meaningful. And as someone being in a comfy point in between there I do think everyone in my bracket should be paying taxes. Not high, but definitely something. Then lower incomes then yes, definitely 0% tax. But the amount of people on 5 digits salaries that are on the higher end is definitely worth having some tax, even when a small amount it already helps support the system with so many.

No, I haven’t tried it, I might be good at it indeed, I might be amazing, or hell, I might give the best blowjobs in the world. I will leave it at the possibility of being the best cock sucker before I discover I am mediocre at it, I guess I cannot try it then.

I mean… Technically the question is about being pretty. I can think of girls being pretty without actually thinking sexually of them. The same way I can think of some guys being handsome and I don’t suck dick.

When being from the lgbtq community means that you are persecuted, punished and your life is threatened, doesn’t it mean it is political? why do you say it is not political? Or is that about fighting for survival? Is fighting for survival political? Does it even matter? You don’t specify it in your comment, are you supporting the other comments that because it is political companies should stay away from it?
When laws and states and governments try to push too far to limit things such as gender identities the lives of many become political as they are threatened by the laws, states, and governments. And yet, the rights and survival of people in peace is not truly political. That’s just the excuse used to try and censor the discussion of such topics.

Pride movement is as political as Christmas is political. There will be people that make it a political issue, but that doesn’t mean it is actually political. A company that celebrates a holiday that big part of the population celebrate is not siding with a political party or even with a religion. The rights for any minorities in a government or a state is political, but pride is a celebration and as such it is not political. A state making a religion official and forced/encouraged is political. Celebrating Christmas is not political. And celebrating Christmas as a company doesn’t mean they alienate customers or employees that don’t actually follow the religious side of the holiday.
Don’t get sucked into the idea that a company cannot show support for minorities or make events depending on the celebrations socially occurring because you need to be neutral. That’s not neutrality, that’s self censorship.
To take it to the extremes, are we expecting companies to say they are not against slavery but also not in favor, because it is political? Child labour is bad, but I don’t want to support any side because it is too political. Terrorism attacks? Well we don’t have a stance against or for them, it’s just too political.
There’s a big difference between siding with one party or another and not showing a stance into what should be universal human rights. Are universal human rights political? Well kinda, but we shouldn’t support, or allow any company that is afraid of supporting human rights because it might alienate some customers… Pride and lgbtq rights might not be on the same level as slavery, terrorism and child labor but hell who someone spends their life with is a human right and has nothing to do with politics.

Really? Ah wow, never thought it would be that hard… That’s sarcasm by the way, since we are stating the obvious. Also you forgot to mention, one does nothing against FElon and the other ends FElon.
I anyway hate the idea of inciting violence (but sometimes you just need to get it out) and can’t really wrap my head at how many people are in comments in Lemmy out for blood (well, I kind of understand, the situation is bleak to say the least, the issue is how many think violence is a good solution for real, there’s a discussion for violent revolution, but violence alone is useless, but I digress), I’d rather he rots in a cell somewhere and all his money is taken away to do something useful with, he’d probably hate that much more than anything else. Same with Amazon Dickzos… Well that’s lame, couldn’t come up with a good name for him yet. Bezos anyway.
But anyway, if the first lady trump is still free and worse, in a position of power in the government, after all he has done (literal treason, rape, …), I’m not holding my breath for the nazi asshole to get to prison.
