Die Leute die die AfD wählen sind aber auch die Leute die von normalen Informationsquellen nichts wissen wollen. Lügenpresse usw.
Persönlich finde ich aber auch dass das der falsche Ansatz ist. Die afd hat Zulauf nur aus einem Grund, weil die deutsche Immigrationspolitik bei zu vielen Leuten auf Ablehnung stößt.
Kann man zurecht scheiße finden als linksliberaler weltoffener Akademiker bei dem alles soweit okay läuft, ignoriert aber das Problem dass ein großer und wachsender Teil der Bevölkerung das offenbar nicht so sieht.
Einfach weiterzumachen wie bisher und diese Leute nach Rechtsaußen zu stellen und deren Sorgen abzuwerten treibt sie doch erst zu proto-faschistoiden alternativparteien.
Vorbeugend: Mir reflexhaft hinterherzubrüllen was für eine reaktionäre braune scheißhaltung das ist, hilft auch keinem, weil ich kein AfD Wähler bin.
German infrastructure has been neglected for several decades. In the past, the whole phone grid was nationalized under the Deutsche Telekom, which eventually got spun off into a regular company.
For some insane reason the government basically let them keep almost all of the existing telecommunications infrastructure, giving them a quasi monopoly for many years and the lobbying power to delay upgrading the grid to modern fibre connections in favor of squeezing marginal improvements out of the old copper wires.
Even today the upgrading is going slowly, but at least in cities the connections are reasonably fast, I have about 300 mbits in a fairly small town (about 200k people)
Since the age of streaming has made it very uncertain that shows are completed or even get a reasonable finale episode I prefer waiting until a series is complete before I start watching it. Nothing worse than getting invested in a show only to have it cancelled mid story arc. Also makes binge watching easier.
I do buy new tech occasionally but use it for a very long time. For example I bought the iPhone X when it was new, but am still using it and have no issues so no need to replace or upgrade it. I also built a Computer about a decade ago that I only just some months ago replaced with a new build, which I also plan to use for a long time (with the occasional opportune upgrade of course).
Besides that, I generally use my things until they break not just until they are no longer current gen tech. Most stuff works just fine even years later.
Also für Katzen bezweifle ich das stark, das sind obligatorische Karnivoren. Sprich, Katzen mit irgendwas anderem als Fleisch zu ernähren bringt sie mittelfristig um.
Considering a lot of his financial backing for the acquisition was from the saudis, and since he already was upset about people making fun of him on Twitter paired with him being an immature manchild kept afloat by generational wealth and public money it makes sense he simply bought the platform to destroy it.
The Saudi autocrats didn’t like the free speech issues it caused for them, and Elon just wanted his critics under control the devaluation and destruction are not much of an issue for him.
Why is being disrespectful towards religions even an issue? I do not respect them and have in fact strong contempt for religions. I consider islam a new cancer growing, after we finally managed to largely push Christianity out of policy making and into the realm of personal choice in the west.
I hate the idea that we have different kinds of prisons for different classes of people. In my opinion any kind of tax fraud or financial cheating on the public is a worse crime than most of the ones we currently punish with years of regular prison, except those causing physical / psychological harm to others.
Car stickers are never a good idea, ever. Not only do they look ridiculous, they give random strangers access to important information about you and your life situation. Do not volunteer personal Information.
And then there is the uniquely stupid prospect of a piracy car sticker. What in the fuck gave you the idea that is somehow a good addition to your car? The activity ranges from unsavory to straight up illegal depending on where you live, why would anyone advertise they are doing that irl?
As i argued in another comment, there are many useful bots for certain niche communities that I really think have a place here, even though I am generally wary of AI accounts infesting the fediverse as well.
Good examples for good and very useful, yet not mod work related bots are on TCG/CCG subs like magic the gathering and hearthstone to provide context to card names, or convert deck codes into a nicely formatted table of the used cards.
Or on the Lego sub, returning any set number as a link to the proper bricklink entry.
This kind of bot should be allowed and even encouraged to be used where appropriate.
Then there are the plenty of irrelevant and annoying bots we really can do without, like the alphabetical order bot, haiku bot, the dozens of bots quoting LOTR or Star Wars characters, and so on. Like most reddit jokes they stopped being funny fairly quickly and now add nothing to the conversation, but are being kept around for karma.
And then there are the more insidious bots that are about to become widespread, being harder to detect the more their refinement advances. It is going to be a constant arms race between bot detection and bot deception skills.
Können wir nicht das zwanghafte eindeutschen zusammen mit reddit zurücklassen? Schon damals hätte ich gern mehr in den deutschen subs mitgemacht aber der eine, nicht mal lustige Witz der mit Gewalt am Leben gehalten wird macht jede Unterhaltung lächerlich.
Können wir nicht einfach normal kommunizieren?
Even in a fair justice system the punishment would be extreme in proportion to the crime. He caused the made up number of a global corporate giant to be a bit smaller than they had imagined.
I find the whole premise ridiculous, society or in this case an individual doesn’t owe a company its profits. If a person can be sued over this, then why don’t they sue Sony over competition? Why can’t I sue someone because my projected income isn’t what I wanted?
