Mine's a bastard too. (though no mixed origins)

My not-yet-wife and I are in that situation rn. I'm on the taller side for a German and she's average Asian height, so our size difference is bigger than in the comic. ><

There's MetaGer (https://metager.org/) which is run by German non-profit NGO SUMA-EV. Instead of a subscription it is a pre-paid key that's consumed per search, so you only ever pay for what you use. The NGO is also part of the European effort to build an OpenWebIndex. Disclaimer: I'm part of that NGO.

For the non-Germans: The difference is which syllable is stressed.

Jemanden umfahren - to drive around someone
Jemanden umfahren - to run over someone

Nice write-up, but really not helpful since it has nothing at all to do with what is actually proposed in the initiative.

Rust was originally created by a Mozilla dev as a hobby project. Also, the Mozilla rust team was fired in 2020 during a "restructuring".

https://metager.org/ is run by a German non-profit. Since late last year it's pay to use because their advertising partner (Yahoo) cancelled their contract without warning. But it's cheaper than Kagi. Also the non-profit is part of the project that's building the European OpenWebIndex ( https://ows.eu/ ) that's releasing this year.

I - for one - welcome the solarpunk future where we'd meet up with friends to watch indie self-published movies because that exploitative but productive industry didn't make it for lack of a viable business model.

No idea where they live but here in Germany ads for political parties are severely limited except during the months leading up to an election and advertising aimed a children is harshly regulated.

Sidenote: A similar app is https://squoosh.app/

Had fun with Verdance at my local pre-release event. I think I will keep her and maybe try out the others too. Was originally hoping to play my old Data-Doll deck again after Rosetta now but I'm so sure anymore.

Yes, this is currently a problem since we were forced to discontinue the only way to use MetaGer free of charge (for now). I do hope that there will be a solution within this year. In the meantime I've sent you a demo key via DM.

Oops, wrong side.

Honestly not sure how I feel about them but the rules seem straightforward enough. We had so many judge calls at the Mistveil Prerelease. I do hope Rosetta will be better.

Maybe https://nestri.io/ is similar enough to what you're looking for?

IANAL, but from a EU-centric perspective on copyright (which is the only one I can reliably talk about) the idea of a proprietary encryption key is bogus. A creative work can be copyrighted if it has sufficient originality (or under some other very specific conditions). Smaller parts of such a work are not copyrighted if they don't meet that criteria on their own. The encryption key (which is very probably randomly generated and definitely not a creative work) thus can't be copyrighted on it's own. At least in the EU, there should be no argument against sharing said key (at least in respect to copyright).

I honestly can't talk about other jurisdictions (maybe someone else here can) but I imagine it should be similar to this in many other countries.

Have a Dominia.

I'm not that new anymore but still relatively fresh (joined last year). Really looking forward to the new wizards and the new guardian.
