I wouldnt admit not having a wifi password in germany. Theres the "Störerhaftung". If its your device you are responsible. Thats why germany has so few open public wifis.

But i never got a letter and looked up what to do? Probably tossing the letter into the trash is enough. Just be sure to seperate your waste properly so your neighbour doesnt sue you.

AFAIK Störerhaftung was abolished, see TMG § 8 (3).

also note "Sentences 1 and 2 shall not apply if the Service Provider intentionally cooperates with a user of its service in order to commit unlawful acts."

TMG is obsolete anyway, replaced by DDG and you have to register as a service provider.

Is the joke that German neighbors get angry over improperly separated waste / recycle?

[–] remon@ani.social 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not sure what you mean by "joke". This is no laughing matter.

I mean, i usually don't watch in my neighbor bin so I would laugh at that...

[–] remon@ani.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But then how do you know if they put something in that doesn't belong???

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 1 points 1 week ago

Telepathy, of course
