You are right, machines could work for smaller/standardized stuff 🤔
As for scammers, since kind of fake recall where you have to for some reason pay something in advance probably. But trust scammers and grifters to figure something out, they always do.

If the key is only held by the doe then how are you ever going to get that deposit? Bring your trash to them? If not then everyone needs to have access, which means no encryption. One could of course feasibly leave out who bought the thing. To prevent fraud though you would probably have to save what the thing is (otherwise someone will just produce trash in China with valid token IDs from the database just to get the deposit) and having a database of that is in it self a very bad thing for businesses at least. You don't want your competitors to know exactly how much you are selling, otherwise you will definitely get bought out at your lowest point.
Maintaining such a database would be a nightmare too, and all that just to make sure the tokens do fall in value with inflation? I don't see the point really. Either fix the value for a couple of years, or let it rise through inflation that would incentivize the collection of old garbage at least.

Oh, no. I'm quite aware. The companies that can do it have a large enough effect in my life as it is. I really do not wish for scammers, random trolls, foreign government or home invader (tracking where you are based on purchases) to join them.
Right now I can make it hard for the big players by using the right tools and services. This would make it completely impossible.

If you want to sell a product you would have to register that deposit in the database, similarly if you get it back you have to access the database to know how much to pay out. If you don't want to limit selling products to large businesses everyone needs access.
Sure, consequences for littering are fun and all, but the passive surveillance that allows is terrifying imho.

And how exactly would you do that? One giant database of sales that everyone just has access to? Print it on the thing at time of sale? I can't see any trivial solution, I'd be interested in yours tho!

Even if it was scattered everywhere you would definitely have people pick it back up for the deposit. That works with bottles in Germany and the deposit for them gets as low as 8ct.

Because the deposit is tied to inflation. Older products might end up with way outdated deposits if you print the sum on the packaging, so it would have to be token based. The token is then inflation safe.

That would make having a mountain of long lived useless trash a solid inflation safe investment plan.

Not necessarily, modern having keyboards can operate at upwards of 1khz polling speed. The main difference is, that usb needs polling in the first place, whereas ps/2 is interrupt based.
That essentially means that ps/2 tells the computer "hey a key was just pressed" instantly and usb waits to be asked whether a key was pressed or not. If the latter is done often enough the difference becomes negligible.

Idk about where you live, but "versuchter Totschlag" is very much a thing in Germany. Translates to attempted manslaughter and is in essence an extension to aggravated assault for cases where it should be obvious to the perpetrator, that their actions are significantly likely to cause death.
Specifically kicking the head of a person who is already on the ground is one of the things that is basically guaranteed to get you charged with that .

That shouldn't be a setback of ten years, it should be an automatic attempted manslaughter charge and exclusion from any job that gives immediate power over strangers.

I mostly agree, but saying nobody ever sculpted in marble is a bit like saying nobody ever painted with oil paint because most of the most well known oil paintings were done according to sketches made with charcoal or pencil.
The finished sculpture is made of marble, and thus it was sculpted in marble. Not at first perhaps, but eventually

Of course there are still sculptors around! Like most art sculptures have gotten more abstract tho. Visit any museum of modern Art and you are sure to find some!
Marble and the like are of course incredibly expensive, and for that reason most people stick to more affordable options like wood or ice. Or do additive sculpting with clay/plaster, welding or something like that. If you really want to work with stone you might want to apprentice with a stonemason.
How did I start? Took a pocketknife in my hand and started whittling. The foundations of working in a subtractive manner are largely independent of material.

Als Briefzusteller kann ich nur sagen: Unterstell der Post keine höheren Motive, die haben sie nicht. Solche Änderungen passieren, weil sich irgend ein Typ Mal wieder eine "innovative" "Prozessverbesserung" ausgedacht hat. Für eine solche idee im Halbjahr kassiert der dann 4k im Monat

So, average German here. Person I have never heard of gets an award I've never heard of. Doesn't seem very peaceful to me tho.
I'd say I'm interested in hearing the reasoning, but that would be a lie. It's been a while since I cared about any such awards.

First of all, not all powerful. That is what my first comment was all about. Second, I wouldn't categorically say no, unlikely, but not impossible. Thirdly, why do so many people feel like debating the finer points of a fictional event with me? You guys are almost as bad as harry potter nerds, except you hate the book you are talking about.

Rape means no consent, has nothing to do with the unconventional way of conception. The entire passage is so imprecisely written, that I don't think you can for sure say it would have been rape.
Specifically I want to make a collage of many pictures. For that purpose the software should be able to handle many large pictures, and align them relative to each other (snap center to center, etc) I'd like to avoid having to do it in libre office if at all possible. Is there anything like that?
This picture was taken back in September from the top of the Großer Aber mountain in the Bavarian Forrest. Just minutes before there was fog everywhere and soon after it returned.
