Why is Germany so prevalent on Lemmy?
Germany has always been a big hub for Free software as a whole, for alternative communications, etc. The CCC's presence is a big factor.

How would Linux have been today if locked bootloaders were as common in the 90s as they are now on ARM devices?
You should go read Microsoft's attempt at excluding Linux/Unix from running on x86 using ACPI!

How did bittorrent fail to become essential technology?
At some point bit torrent WAS an essential distribution tool. It represented nearly 70% of internet traffic!
So I think you're asking the wrong question...

Defective management seems more like it. Poor maintenance, overworked crews, etc.

Why is seeding a torrent helpful?
Torrents are P2P. You are downloading from other people who are seeding. If no one seeds, there's nothing to download. Simple as that. Etiquette dictates you should seed more than you download to ensure the network stays lively.

Popemobile to become health clinic for Gaza children
Not really not the onion though. The Pope was apparently calling priests in Gaza almost every day. He believed parking the Popemobile in front of hospitals and children's clinics would make for really bad optics if (who am I kidding, when) Israel bombs them.

TIL "How do you dress?" means "Which pants leg do you put your penis down?"
Let me translate this old joke from Coluche....
It's the story of a guy who is constantly living with migraines. He goes to the doctor for the tenth time and says "doctor I can't take it anymore, these migraines are ruining my life!", so the doctor prescribes him some medication and says "listen, these are the last resorts.... If they don't work, there's really only one thing we can do, and it's to chop off your dick!", "chop off my dick?? I sure do hope these meds work!!". The guy returns home and starts taking the meds. But months past and the migraines persist. He can't take it anymore, so he goes back to the doctor and says "doctor, I've had it, I have no life, it will be better to live without a dick than not to live at all", "very well, let's get it done!". And so the doctor chops off his dick! Months past and the guy's migraines are completely gone. He's so happy, he finally can live a somewhat normal life. After months of success, he tells himself "I think I should celebrate! Let get ourselves a nice suit!". So he goes to the tailor, and the tailor asks him "sir, tell me, which way do you hang?", obviously the guy replies "oh you know, it is of no importance what so ever...", the tailor exclaims loudly "are you mad? It is of the upmost importance sir! If it hangs on the wrong side of the pants, you'll end up getting constant migraines!!"

French far right looks for Charlie Kirk moment after activist’s killing
So Politico, you are going to completely glanced of the fact that a fascist gang started the fight that resulted in this death? Par for the course.
The events leading up to the fight that cost Deranque his life remain unclear
No, Politico, the video evidence is pretty clear.
