1. If you don't and they find out, then you committed an felony. It is the same as the "Are you an terrorist?" questions. Once they want you for more serious stuff like blasphemy against king donald, then they can pull out the convicted felon card and increase the sentence.

2. + 4. It depends

3. If you plan to go to the us while Trump and his chronies are in an position of power, then the best way to scrub them is not to post it.

5. See 1. if you don't disclose all, they can pull the lie on a form card

I would look into the public ip used for connecting to github. If you are on an heavily used v4 NATed address, then all that github sees is an address where a ron of requests come from.

Consumer protection is not relevant here. These are B2B relationships, so those are under an different framework of rule. Things that are forbidden to be used against an Customer can be used against an company.

About the Zugbindung: You can board any DB train only if you had an IC/ICE Ticket. If you had only one for the RE, then you can only board the RE.

the government ids should be enough. Germany has an quite interesting system. Federal issued ids that contain an nfc powered chip that provides only information if the user has the credentials that allow access. The minimum is a datum stored/generated (name, age, fullfills age requirement, service pseudonym, ...) and the maximum is full access without pin requirement. After over an decade i haven't heard of hacks that broke the system. Effectivly it is possible to use it in an offline system that allows access to an venue for someone at least 16 years and all that the system sees is that the owner of the id is at least 16 years old

The "Ukranian" nukes were sowjet. It was part of the deal that the sowjets get them back and Ukraine gets its independence. A lot of countries made that deal. And its a good one. Ukraine had never the full blueprints and capabilities to maintain them, so after a few years they would have gotten relative useless and a liability.

New comment by stop50 in "Hyperscalers are buying all the chips to then rent them to us later"

stop50 — Sat, 02 May 2026 05:02:46 +0000

in the Price for an nvidia card is not only the price for the card. Its also the limitations of producing it. The Hyperscalers have much deeper pockets than the consumers, so they compete via the price to buy as much as possible from the limited batches nvidia/amd/... sell. As a result, manufacturers are changing the number of different chip types, so that instead of 4 graphics cards and 1 CUDA card, there is now 1 graphic card and 3 CUDA cards.
