  • So, OP’s claim that Lenin “legalized homosexuality entirely” in the USSR is wrong because, as @sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works pointed out, it remained illegal in some parts of the USSR, such as Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Therefore, it was never entirely legalized across the entire USSR until Stalin banned it entirely again in 1934. During that decade, homosexuality was only legal in the RSFSR and not because of a standalone law advocating for sexual freedom, but because the Tsarist legal codes were abolished (which also included abolishing the Senate, the Tsarist courts and the private property, which were more likely to be the target of this move) without introducing a specific ban in the new legal code.

    So it’s also misleading to claim that homosexuality was legalized like it was an intentional move towards sexual freedom (which Lenin cared very little about with no public record of him on this topic) instead of just the kind of accidental outcome of abolishing the Tsarist legal codes.

    Even if everything else were true, the USSR still wouldn’t have been the first country to legalize it in modern history, which was France in 1791.

  • No, it seems you are a bit confused.

    You are talking about autossh, which is a completely different third-party SSH client tool that you have to install separately (as the link you shared describes) to have persistent SSH client connections and has nothing to do with systemd other than that you can start it as a systemd service (like any other third-party service).

    OP is talking about systemd-ssh-generator, which is described here by Lennart Poettering (author of systemd) as working exactly as OP described it.



  • Well, I am not a lawyer so I don’t know if that can really happen, but you are supposed to be judged by the law that applied to you when you committed the crime, not any different scenario that could be applied to your case in the future (nulla poena sine lege, non-retroactivity of criminal law).

    Consider, for example, something that didn’t use to be a crime. For example, buying alcoholic drinks. If now they ban alcohol, they cannot start prosecuting people who bought alcohol when it was legal. Even if they announce they will ban buying alcohol, they cannot wait for the law to come into effect to start prosecuting people who bought it while the law was being written and knew it was going to be banned, because it was not banned yet when they bought it. This is not the same case, but it’s similar.

    What matters is the law that applied to you when you committed the crime, not when you are being judged.

    But, as said, I’m not a lawyer.






  • I cannot provide advice about this specific case. But as a general advice to everyone, unionize before it’s too late. By the time you realize that your boss has been fooling you for one year in a way that will make it harder for you to claim a resolution, it may be too late. Don’t wait for problems to appear, unionize sooner to get advice and prevent things like this from happening in the first place.


  • Didn’t that already exist as the right to one’s own image?

    At least here in Spain such righ is mentioned in section 18.1 of the the Constitution from 1978 and was developed by a law in 1982 banning the capture, reproduction, use or publication by photograph, film, or any other means of a person’s voice or image.

    I would expect similar laws to exist in other countries. Having control of your own image and not allowing anyome to take your voice and image and make their own public use of them seems like a pretty basic right to not be regulated already before GenAI appeared.

    Actually, targeting it just to GenAI and framing it as intellectual property or copyright sounds quite limited. Do you mean that as long as I don’t use it for GenAI or use it for purposes not covered by copyright I can still publicly use your image in Denmark? I wouldn’t expect so. The right one’s own image is rooted in human dignity, privacy, and autonomy, which go beyond what a copyright law can protect.
