nah that's when my parents were born and their lives don't seem that awesome tbh
Ten years earlier, i.e. mid-1980s. I would have been a young adult when the Internet was starting to be awesome, instead I was a preteen or early teen.
As for location, the US would be nice tbh.
If I ever manage to earn ~3000 euros (my current net salary) a month from just investments and interest, I will definitely consider myself rich. There may still be richer people than me even in that scenario, which is why I wrote that "rich" is a relative descriptor.
And I wasn't talking about this or any other specific case, just attempting to make sure that people understood the general legal concepts.
Of course, rich is a relative descriptor, like tall or heavy, some people are richer than others.
I would call anyone who doesn't need to work in order to live (i.e. who can live off investments and interest) rich.
What context was this legal advice given in? This may be advice for a civil lawsuit too?
In any case it is of course true that it is good to be able to present evidence in one's favor in criminal court, but that is to establish that there is reasonable doubt, not because the defendant has the burden of proof.
no he doesn't need to prove it, in a criminal trial in most countries, the prosecution has the burden of proof; in the US "beyond a reasonable doubt"
You mostly understood it right.
I think of Mastodon/Twitter as essentially server-side RSS readers: you follow the sources you want to read, then are notified when they are posting something. If you don't already have any followers, there is little point in posting anything there. The forum-like structure of Lemmy is a lot more suited for ordinary people to discuss topics they are interested in.
For Python definitely PyCharm.
Pokémon taught children everywhere that if they enter strangers' houses without warning, the strangers might randomly give them useful objects that help them in life.
The point of free software is that it doesn't have owners and you (individually or collectively) can just create an "alternative" yourself by forking it if you disagree with anything its maintainers do.
