I see no reason to use any other browser than Firefox and maybe Librewolf.

The German fascist party AfD is largely bankrolled by Putin. Go figure.

BTW for the uninitiated: That's the actual quote from the former federal drug officer. No joke - we wished it was.

Maybe it's that homophobia and transphobia are so dominant on more popular platforms that there is a natural migration towards more free and liberal platforms. I always wondered why you see more and more racism, hate and such degeneracy the larger a platform becomes.

Also, NATO did not "expand its territories". Sovereign countries that saw the Russian aggression seeked membership to be protected.

Yeah, same as wood, who would build houses out of that? /s

Hay is great insulation and it's sealed with protective material anyway in modern houses. Also, even if not: Some tribes make houses out of hay or straw and those houses are quite great in their particular circumstances. There are experiments to use hay bales for structural support as well and it holds up surprisingly well.

Also, fun fact: wooden houses are less dangerous in case of fire than houses made of steel and concrete because the steel rod reinforcements start becoming soft at low temperatures (~200°C) and crash. Wooden houses announce crashing when burning, concrete buildings don't.

It seems like they don't back Trump despite him being a fascist, they back Trump because he is a fascist.

MacOS, iOS and stock Android, too for that matter. Dark times.

Fühl ich. Ein Freund von mir hat die Gabe, in solchen Situationen total cool und freundlich zu bleiben und diesen Leuten ihre Idiotie klar zu machen indem er sie einfach wirklich ernst nimmt. Meistens werden die dann aggressiv und defensiv aber haben absolut keine Angriffsfläche. Und nie hab ich dann Popcorn dabei!

Thank you! Finally someone speaks out, too. Singapore is a totalitarian capitalist dictatorship and the closest thing we have to a true cyberpunk dystopia. It is a horrible place with clean sidewalks.

Unlimited for seven or so years now, never regretted it in the slightest. I feel like they throw some bonus to you whenever they can - under promise, over deliver. I've been burned a lot by companies that became evil over time, hence I'm careful with praise but so far Proton has been one of the most pleasant customer experiences I had.

I always liked wizards best because of this. They achieved their power more or less on their own, without being born or chosen privileged.

But I drive my car less, that should do it! /s

This is the reason we're should focus out efforts to make a ruckus and force decision makers to enforce carbon neutrality BY NEXT YEAR instead of by next century. Of course that won't happen but that would be the reasonable way.

While I agree that gun control is a good thing I strongly doubt it will eliminate the issue as it's only addressing the symptom, not the cause. Free healthcare, fair education and equal rights to achieve something in life are far more important triggers. Of course those require much deeper adjustments to the system and society as a whole.

Das durchschnittliche Politiky aus Bayern hat auch sicher nie etwas von Phettberg gehört.

Das ist ein guter Punkt. "Die Politik (-er)" halte ich meist für einen schwierigen Begriff weill es zu stark vereinfacht aber in diesem Fall kann man schon einen roten Faden durch alle Parteien, Fraktionen, Gruppierungen und Individuen erkennen.

CDU und FDP machen aktiv Propaganda für die AfD und haben sich auf verschiedene Arten quasi in eine Sackgasse begeben, in der eine Koalition mit der AfD bald ausweglos ist. SPD laufen wie immer mit ein wenig Abstand der CDU hinterher und warten darauf umzukippen, wie ein braver Sub. Grüne stehen allein da, können sich nicht zwischen Rückgrat und Kompromiss entscheiden und wirken daher halbherzig. Linke... na ja, das Chaos bei denen hat die zumindest für jetzt völlig irrelevant gemacht.

Ernsthaft! Die Leute haben alles verloren, sitzen hier und dürfen sich kein Leben aufbauen, dann reden Idioten auch noch von "Sozialschmarotzern". Gleiche Chancen für alle, dann sehen wir mal wer Recht hat.

Plot Twist: Das Haus rechts hat nichts mit Bauhaus zu tun. Häuser wie dieses werden so gebaut weil sie dann bei unerheblichen Mehrkosten deutlich teurer verkauft werden können, wenn man es mit dem Begriff Bauhaus verbindet. Architekten, die Häuser wie das Rechte entwerfen haben entweder im Studium nicht aufgepasst oder ihre Seele an den Mammon verkauft.

Edith: falsches Wort

In my experience, gaming in Linux works even better than on Windows. Every game I installed so far was supported by proton.

The main thing holding Linux back is professional software I think. If Photoshop and the likes are supported better, a lot of people will switch and find out that they also can play games on Linux.

I think the US already signalled approval iirc. But I'm sure there will be ample loopholes.
