I absolutely love VideoLAN's stance regarding patents
Programs are mathematical proofs. If maths cannot be patented, software can't be, either.

If it's on company time, it's fine.

‘It’s the same daily misery’: Germany’s terrible trains are no joke for a nation built on efficiency
Former managers of Deutsche Bahn did not care to invest into modernization. Managers get money for showing and keeping plus in their Excel sheets. They leave the company with all kinds of bonuses for that and risk no repercussions.
The next generation of managers are simply fucked. They inherit all the neglected infrastructure and bad processes.
Additionally politics made it even worse. They told the managers that repairs are not a matter of subsidies. Only new infrastructure is supported. So Deutsche Bahn literally let the tracks and stations rot until they need to be totally renewed.
This all based on absolute greed. And the best is you can harm Germany for free without any risks and keep all your money. No one here would get the idea to jail the responsible people who let it happen.

Ukrainian parents invited to ‘collect their children’ from Russia - UPI.com
So they have no shame to admit they have committed war crimes. And as a parent I would be sceptical if I am safe collecting the children.
There is also many complications when citizens of a country they are at war with enter the other country. The most reasonable thing to do would be to bring the kids near the border where they would be collected by officials or an organization which makes sure the kids find a safe way home.

Probably not, because it's a lie.

5 years ago Valve released Proton forever changing Linux gaming
Reply in thread
You're right. So many people to thank here. One thing you cannot deny is that Valve is one of few companies that loves gaming on Linux and it deserves a huge credit.

Hast Du mal geschaut mit welchen Leuten der ZDF Fernsehrat belegt ist? Hälfte von denen ist von der CDU und die andere von der SPD. Da darf man niemandem auf den Schlips treten. Böhmermann hat wenigstens nen Namen, sodass er nicht direkt hochkant rausfliegt.

OnePlus just fixed a phone screen problem not even Apple or Samsung have solved
Partially off topic, but I won't buy OnePlus anymore, because they lock down the bootloader.

You can install Steam on Linux. In fact I have 2 PCs in my house for my sons. They run Windows games flawlessly. See for compatibility in the ProtonDB.

Why do password managers charge for TOTP code generation?
TIL password managers charge for 2FA.
For 1) I use PasswdSafe, because I can merge databases with Password Gorilla as I like.
For 2) I use Aegis. You can download an icon theme, which is quite cool.

It's not that idiotic when you consider that they still look for an adequate place to store nuclear waste. It's been over 30 years now.

Google accused of directing motorist to drive off collapsed bridge
I am not a guy who blindly trusts technology. Why go forward when you cannot see what's in front of you? How can that happen?
AFAIK Google makes a disclaimer about it. A bridge can also be destroyed on the same day, so...

Elon Musk attacked German support for migrants and promoted a call to support a far-right extremist political party
AfD are horrible people. Typical for far right is to cause outrages but have no solutions. Around 80% of Germans fortunately see through this shit and wouldn't elect them. So we are probably at 20% max right now.
Besides being bullshitters, AfD is also far right economically. I find it hilarious that the uneducated crowd wants them to have power. Bullshitters and dumb people put together are quite powerful, as also science shows.

Is this something like "Na is toxic. Cl is toxic. NaCl is tasty."?
