SUSE Requests openSUSE to Rebrand
Reply in thread
No, there are good reasons for it. A lot of people get confused between SUSE and openSUSE offerings. Often SUSE customers show up in openSUSE places, because they believe that it's a place they can get official support. And I'm sure a lot of potential customers might get confused in the same way too.
On the flip side there are also a lot of openSUSE (adjacent) users who think SUSE is (secretly or not) making openSUSE development decisions or think they can dand SUSE to do that and that.
So there are some good reasons to consider a rebranding, but also some speaking against it, like the less of recognition it might entail.

Hungary loses right to EU aid worth more than €1 billion
Reply in thread
I'm always surprised that this kind of rhetoric works. If the EU were such a big bully, nothing would stop Hungary from just leaving. Like, at some point you'd have to ask yourself why a supposedly competent and well-meaning leader keeps you in a relarionship with an entity that allegedly only wants the worst for you.

Breakthrough barium titanate solar panels are 1000x more powerful than existing panels
The headline seems to be a but misleading though. Seems like it's 1000x more efficient than pure barium titanate would be.
Also seems like it has the potential to be much ore efficient than conventional silicon based panels, but not by a factor of 1000.

Is software political?
Reply in thread
Now to some, dare I say most, this is a perfectly reasonable position for Andreas to be in.
If wanting different pronouns/gender neutral language is political, then wanting to stick to "he" etc inherently is political, too. It's completely incomprehensible to say that "position X" is political, but "position anti-X" is somehow not.

Street-Complete, like Pokemon Go but for good.
Friendly PSA that there is also StreetComplete ExpertEdition (on F-Droid only) which has more tasks and crucially allows you to directly edit tags. Very recommended if you know what you're doing and have some more familiarity with OSM.

SUSE Requests openSUSE to Rebrand
Reply in thread
And you really think, people who are willing and able to buy enterprise support for their Linux distro get confused by the naming?
No, I don't think that. I *know* that because I'm active in the community.
OpenSuse is essentially free marketing for SUSE, nobody would know them otherwise.
That is absolute nonsense. SUSE mostly serves large enterprise customers. That's an entirely different demographic from people who care about Desktop Linux or setting up a home server.
Edit:
its market share is relatively small compared to Red Hat or Canonical.
I'm pretty sure SUSE is bigger than Canonical.
Editedit: According to wikipedia SUSE's revenue is about twice as high as Canonical's

Germany deports dozens of convicted criminals to Afghanistan – POLITICO
Reply in thread
It's not. Human rights are only human rights if they are universal and even criminals deserve to be protected from abuse and torture.
Plus, it doesn't actually solve anything. It just moves the problem elsewhere and will most likely have involved the German government directly giving money to the Taliban regime.

Votes are pointless if they can't be filtered
You don't need vote filtering. You need counselling/therapy. This is not intended as a dig and just my opinion obviously.

Merkel herself was a bit of an outlier for the CDU though. Most of the party is and has been more conservative/further right than her.

Is software political?

And what exactly do you call navigating different opinions and proposals for actions in a community setting? That is LITERALLY politics.
Yes, people can have different opinions on what is political, but that doesn't mean those are equally valid. Politics has a clear definition. People can have different opinions in politics, but not really about what is politics.
From wiki:
"Politics (from Ancient Greek πολιτικά (politiká) 'affairs of the cities') is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status."
Saying they don't want to do politics, while making a literal political decision is just completely contradictory. The minute the project turned into a community project,.it turned into a political project both by definition and necessity.

To be fair, putting him on the frontline risking his life for a just cause is about the best use you can make of a Nazi. He gets to do what he's trained for his whe life and we don't have to mourn the loss of a beloved community member if he dies.

I'd say it's non-mouse focused. Heavy touch or keyboard focus work pretty well, but the mouse really isn't intended as anything more than a helper.

War Michael Jackson unschuldig?
Ich war lange der Meinung, dass er definitiv schuldig war, einfach weil das der generelle Konsens zu sein schien. Habe mir aber vor einer Weile mal den englischen Wiki-Artikel zu ihm durchgelesen (der natürlich auch biased sein könnte) und für mich macht das tatsächlich inzwischen eher den Eindruck als wäre er unschuldig gewesen.
Finde die Frage aber eigentlich auch eher unwichtig, da man solange man den Künstler (oder in seinem Fall seine Nachlassverwaltung, die jetzt auch keinen besonders guten Eindruck machen) nicht finanziell oder anderweitig unterstützt (durch streamen kaufen etc) und sich nicht zu stark mit der Person identifiziert mMn auch Kunst von schlechten Menschen hören darf. Auch schlechte Menschen können Schönes schaffen und generell sind Menschen halt vielschichtig mit sowohl Guten als auch Schlechten Qualitäten. Die Musik deswegen kategorisch zu verteufeln hilft mMn niemanden und wirkt für mich oft eher wie der Versuch, eine eindimensione Kategorisierung von Menschen in Gut und Schlecht aufrecht zu erhalten anstatt sich mit der unangenehmeren Wahrheit auseinanderzusetzen, dass auch Mörder und Kinderschänder potenziell etwas tun können, das meine Welt bereichert.
Das sollte im Umkehrschluss dann aber mMn nicht zu unkritischem Abfeiern führen, sondern man sollte sich mit diesem Widerspruch dann auch aktiv auseinandersetzen und das Werk entsprechend bewerten. Von einer vollständigen Trennung von Künstler und Werk halte ich tatsächlich auch nicht so viel. Viele Rammsteinlieder könnte ich, einfach weil sie vom Vibe zu nah an den tatsächlichen Anachuldigungen sind, jetzt wohl auch nicht mehr feiern, wenn ich sie denn vorher noch gefeiert hätte. Ubd das Minimum sollte bei problematischen Personen wie eingangs erwähnt mMn sein, dass sie keine finanzielle (oder anderweitige Unterstützung) erhalten, wenn davon auszugehen, dass das ihre schlimmen Verhaltensweisen weiter befördert/ermöglicht (Rammstein und Marilyn Manson wären hier die klaren Beispiele für mich)

I felt as though someone intentionally was trying to push me out of my own friend group and no one cared, therefore in my eyes it felt like people were okay for me to be pushed out.
Well that one obviously isn't true. Because as you said yourself:
So I stopped talking to everyone altogether, some people DM me here and there, one person has said “other person was in the wrong”
and
Anyways recently people have been trying to get me to hang out again

Warum ich auf ethischen Konsum verzichtet habe
Generell verstehe ich deine Punkte und würde dem insgesamt nicht groß widersprechen wollen. Aber das mit dem Fleischersatz als zentralem Beispiel finde ich etwas komisch, weil ich nicht verstehe, wie das hinhaut. Wenn man so Sachen wie "veganes Fleisch/Würstchen" oder Tofu im Biomarkt kauft, vielleicht. Aber ansonsten bist du doch einfach mit Linsen, Bohnen, Erbsen auch pro Gramm Protein deutlich günstiger unterwegs als mit Fleisch.
