I'm a new member, and I was automatically assigned some flairs up on joining, but how can I get some additional flairs/memberships? I think I got FOSS advocate and anarchist, but I'd like to be in Free Software & Digital Pirate too!

The federal prosecutor’s office had asked for the man to receive life imprisonment – which usually runs to a maximum of 15 years in Germany – followed by preventive detention – meaning he would always stay behind bars, because of the potential danger it considered him to pose to wider society should he ever be released.

I'm not German so I can't comment with any certainty, but it sounds like the life sentence is 15 years in prison followed by indefinite confinement after that?

beatings and kickings, or how he deliberately set broken bones with insufficient levels of anaesthetic. They also told the court how the doctor had poured flammable liquid on their wounds and parts of their body – and in two cases, including that of a 14-year-old boy, on their genitals – and set them on fire. He injected one prisoner with a deadly poison while the man had been trying to defend himself. He died in front of fellow prisoners.

The court also heard how he had beaten and kicked a young man suffering from epileptic seizures, knowing he had the condition, which led to it worsening. He later administered a pill, which caused the man to die in the presence of his brother

Glad this guy will be behind bars for at least the next 15 years. What a sadistic piece of shit

Agreed. Mackie is just so blase. I've seen football fathead posters with more charisma

I just finally upgraded from a 1080 Ti to a 5070 Ti. At high refresh-rate 1440p the 1080 Ti was definitely showing its age and certain games would crash (even with no GPU overclock). Fortunately I was able to get a PNY 5070 Ti for only ~$60 over MSRP at the local Microcenter.

5000 series is a pretty shitty value across the board, but I got a new job (and pay increase) and so it was the right time for me to upgrade after 8 years.

Still here two years later (and now from the third instance I've moved to). Lemmy rules, reddit drools!

That and Dyson might just be preemptively killing it in the wake of the FTC forcing Razer to refund buyers of its smart mask
