Fuck the AfD Voters...I've been destroying years of friendships, because it turns out they voted AfD. I'm sick and tired of these fuckers enabling these clowns. This is definitely not my Germany anymore.

Don't forget, he was a very well known actor and comedian before.

They led to over 150 cases of severe consequences in Germany. Beginning with very high tax "recalculations", company closures, heads rolling (firings in some of the affected companies or the end of some political careers, like Bert Meestadt or Nawaz Sharif's dismissal from office) to actual imprisonments. 71 Million Euros of "additional" Taxes have already been payed, Mossack is wanted by Europol, and many many more.

Many cases are still open - justice takes time.

To say nothing happend due to the Panama Papers is just blatantly misleading and utterly untrue.

The Jill Stein votes wouldnt even make a dent in the staggering votes for the Republicans...

You could be spending it in Ukraine.

Neither is he the sole leader of Ukraine, nor is he a dictator or something the likes, Ukraine still has a parliament that needs to ratify such decisions.

It's called the paradox of tolerance. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

Look at the list and stop talking out your ass. Wars are won due to logistics, lots of paperwork and so on. Granted, the situation could be better, but let's not pretend Ukraine has its back against a wall.

They are still kicking Russia like nothing before.

Also, they are not just accepting any mental disorder, there are many disorders that may prevent someone to be in the front, but they don't prevent one to carry supplies from A-B in the back country. Wars are not just won through fights on the front.

It's definitely not helping - especially since Russian planes are quite difficult to fly. Most of them have zero automation

Basically, China pumps incredible amounts of money in to companies, so they can undercut prices from EU companies crazy - forcing the EU companies to give up. EU wants to level the playing field.

Edit: With taxes for Chinese companies that want to sell something in the EU, like China already does as well on the Chinese market.

There also another thing at play here: China has laws, so that foreign companies need at least 50% Chinese "shares" (it's not just shares), basically neutering these companies and also giving away the technology to Chinese third parties. Wich further erodes the playing field, because now Chinese companies not only can produce stuff dirt cheap, they can also do it with "high-tech" stuff, without having to pay and/or do the development.

Probably not exactly what you are looking for, but these are my personal go to examples for hilarious laws in good ol' Schermany...

• Per law, it's forbidden to detonate a nuclear weapon. It's at least 5 years in Prison.

• According to state law in Hesse, burglars could still be sentenced to death until 2018, but since this was already prohibited by federal law, the law was no longer applied for a long time. It has since been abolished, but it's still funny.

• Driving blind is forbidden.

• You're allowed to drive naked - getting out of the car however requires you to be clothed.

• If you fall asleep at work and injure yourself as a result, for example because you fell off a chair, it's considered to be an accident at work and the insurance is liable.

• In North Rhine-Westphalia, the following applies: If a civil servant dies while travelling on business, the business trip is deemed to have ended.

Smaller corporations have it easier, IF they took IT Security serious. For the simple fact, that there are just a lot less entry points and way less whack amole playing.

And Microsoft never took security as serious as they should have.

Edith: And I highly doubt, we'll see a substantial change on Microsoft's side. 1.: There's less Money to be made. 2.: In some ways, their hands are tied because of the still ongoing Patriot Act/USA Freedom Act (which is a bullshit name) or rather the safe harbor stuff.

"AI" is probably simple machine learning?

reads article

Yes, it is.

This is going to be a serious issue in the future - either society changes and these things are going to be accepted or these kind of generating ai models have to be banned. But that's still not going to be a "security" against it...

I also think we have to come up with digital watermarks that are easy to use...

Yeah, let Russia walz right through Ukraine and then Moldova - what could possibly go wrong! Apart from that, Russia is the one loosing hundreds of thousands soldiers. The difference in the way Ukraine mourns their lost ones is such, that calling Russia "Civilized" in any way is just a blatant lie. Russia is utterly disgusting.

Do they care? And from my European perspective, it looks like your Executive and Judiciary is completely broken..

First thing is him being bankrupted to hell and back. Then he gets to suffer until his sentences are official. And THEN you'll see him die eventually in federal custody.

A little corner of my conscience has pity for him. Then I remind myself that he's one of the shittiest human beings alife and that corner is suddenly very vocal of him getting what he deserves...

There's a slight difference in wanting the fediverse having the same usability as Reddit and it actually being Reddit.

That's pretty much the case for all missing workers. The pay in some jobs is utterly ridiculous here in Germany. And that's not because of the Taxes.

Before i got my Pixel 6 Pro, i've been running Custom Roms on everything. The Pixel 6 Pro is probably the first device, i'm actually okay running Stock. It just does what it should. And i'll be honest, the hassle of getting it to work properly (Banking, Netflix, etc) is just too much for my everyday phone...Google really did a number on that one, both positive and negative. I kind of hate it...
