I don’t know the details or have any more information, but there is a background as to reporting suicides in Germany.

Usually, it is consensus between the German news outlets not to report suicides, unless it has been committed by a person of interest, usually a celebrity. This is not a law or otherwise enforced, but a common understanding of the outlets amongst each other, so there will be no promotion of suicide. Here is a source (in German, unfortunately, explaining the reasoning: https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/sagen-meinen-warum-medien-nicht-ueber-selbstmord-schreiben-100.html)

To me, this seems to be a plausible reason for the vague language, but again, I don’t know.

My thought exactly!

Oh yes! And I didn’t intend to say it is dead! I merely wanted to point to the fact that these guys did and do incredible things in the 64kb class.

Is someone else silently crying when remembering the demo scene…?

Not a lawyer here, but from my naive understanding: HELL YEAH! I mean, it only works from Europe, but every company has to nominate a contract for GDPR inquiries. Once they received that inquiry, there is a mandated deadline. If they fail to comply, the data protection authority can fine a portion of their revenues (not profits). Please take my info with a grain of salt as I haven’t verified them, but that is how I understand our system.
