It also entails some of it, but it was not "the inspiration for the creation of concentration camps".

That sentence is the wrong one which is the point I was getting at.

The Holocaust as the Nazis did it wasn't just some established and common concept copied from somewhere else, but to 99% the work of the German people themselves.

There is no easy exit for the history-revisionist from the far right.

But that's not about the concentration camps dustyData was talking about, but about the "Lebensraum" doctrin to conquer the eastern European areas.

Completely different thing.

Concentration camps have been around in Europe already decades before the Nazis came to power, take the Russian Gulags for example.
Even the name the Nazis used is not new, the first camps called "Konzentrationslager" (the German name for concentration camp) were situated in the German colonies in Africa during the Herero massacres already in 1904, while the segregation into ghettos in Germany and much of the rest of Middle Europe, especially regarding the Jews, goes back to the Middle ages.

What dustyData proclaimed is just plain wrong and one of the fake ideas that might in some form be used to relativise, downplay or pass of guilt. Just the kind of buzz that current day fascists like the AfD in Germany are happily spreading.

I don't know why you have been getting downvoted, as that part seems to at least have a core of truth, as I just checked.
While not the inspiration for the pogroms themselves, the US segregation laws seem to have been at least reviewed while drafting the texts of the Nürnberger Gesetze, which would become the legal framework for persecution of Jews and other persons based on race in the Third Reich.

but it’s also true

Nope.

Konzentrationslager (concentration camps) have been a tool for the Germans under that exact name since colonial times.
Segregation of the Jews into Ghettos (and frequent blaming them for stuff and even killing them in local pogroms) has been common practice since at least the Middle ages in Germany, centuries before the US even existed.

A tale like "we only got the idea because we were inspired by the Americans" is not only wrong, but also dangerous, as it plays right into the hands of the far right, which is currently actively trying to downplay the Holocaust and the responsibility of the German people during the Third Reich.

Sorry, I am German, and this might be one of the stupidest takes on the causes and history of the Holocaust I've ever heard.

Well, guess that happens. People are not always rational.
At least fits this threat, as this quite probably also is one of the main factors in the rise of fascistic regimes.

the boomer capital

Percentage of age group 60-80 is only 17.1% in Munich.
(Compared to e.g. 19.4% in Berlin, 19.2% in Köln or 24.5% in Chemnitz)

Whatever their issue is in Munich, I am afraid it does not correlate specifically with the amount of Boomer inhabitants...

And, from the "size really doesn't matter that much" faction, the neutrino just arrived...

I always thought more that it sounded musical somehow.

But then again, I am a huge fan of things like Progressive Industrial Death Metal, so maybe this doesn't amount for much...

I am right at this moment letting a local chinese model (Qwen3.8 27b) update my build environment to mimic upstream build process changes.

Tedious secondary work which the tiny model does just perfectly (and more thorough than I myself would do it).

As the hardware is already available from other projects, that will literally just cost me some cents in electricity cost, compared to probably 20+€ if I would let some Anthropic model do the same work.

So I am really not surprised.
You just don't need the latest frontier models for most stuff any more...

Is this a screenshot of the computer monitor of your neighbour across the street taken during a winter solstice night using a gen 1 Iphone attached to a Mickey Mouse magazine gimmick plastic telescope?

I havent seen a modem like that in 40 years

My parents still used one until about 15 years ago.
Downside of living in the nice rural, but broadband-free, countryside...

I think it is still pretty much present here in Germany.

But then again, we have... reasons... to appreciate and extensively use such a kind of helpful teaching base material...

Or worse, get dialed up yourself by a faxmachine with a wrong number in its memory.
It will try. And try. And try.
And at some point, you will just shut down your phone and hope it is over soon when the remote side finally cancels the unsuccessful sending operation.

Serious headbanging instead on my side!

My first one already was a 28k one, shortly after followed by the 56k one my parents then kept using for the next 15 years, so I don't quite share your unique experience here... :-)

Wer hat sich denn so eine Regel ausgedacht, bei der schon von Anfang klar ist, dass sie auf die einfachst mögliche Weise zu umgehen ist?

Ok, sehen wir halt demnächst "Cola Practically Zero" mit 5µg zugesetztem Zucker pro Liter, zusätzlich zu der selben Menge Süßstoffe wie vorher...

They didn't use an acoustic coupler as in the image any more, you are correct ;-)
The noise was also still emitted by the more modern variants during dialing and connection establishment, and as I was reading the meme's text without paying much attention to the symbolic picture, I instantly thought of the standard 56k modem we still had.

Coming from the right, that's not new.
What is new from my view, though, is the fact that I have recently been seeing much more dislike for muslims and their customs from people I know to be pretty far to the left.
While bordering not quite "demonization" it is already used in a bit too much of generalization kind of way for my tastes.

A little sad, tbh.
Doesn't give a reason for the switch-off, also not on the cam webpage about the switch-off event:
