It could be amazing if Steam gets converted to a worker cooperative.

Companies are not your friend. Also a single douche can ruin the company.

Ursula von der Leyen?

So why would you stop at one?

A couple of days ago someone brought the right tools to the debate😉

And worse: other governments are actively buying into this. German officials were shocked when by Cambridge Analytica, Snowden revelations and even when their phone number on Facebook was leaked. But hey, now that they want to pay for it, they can’t be the product, right? Right?🙈

According to https://www.soundguys.com/tidal-vs-qobuz-140740/ this is not the case.

Where can I get infected?

Once inside the router, GayFemBoy’s string – the text in the malware’s code – displays the word ‘meowmeow’.

Sadly, this isn’t when you suddenly get a free cat out of this hack

I mean the Expedition 33 cast is basically French people.

Really? Do you have to be an idiot to be CEO?

Which means we can have that data in Home Assistant sooner or later🤔

AI empathy feels less like compassion and more like getting hugged by an overly polite parrot with a memory glitch.

Now a days, you can do sessions all online.

I wish. Germany usually has a combination of “bad internet”, “tech illiteracy” and “no appointments in the next 2-4 years” .

Would be funny if Haunted Chocolatier just became a stardew valley DLC.

Because I have not seen it mentioned yet: the classification of porn and non-porn is often rather arbitrary on these systems, which leads to overblocking usually in the LGBTQ area. So while porn may be reduced (but not really because there always is more porn) it leads to blocking of educational material of a vulnerable minority.

That being said: if teens are interested in porn they will get it. These puritanical views of humanity are honestly naive.

You might be thinking about Retinol

Absolutely. Many people have never put thought into either and most do not intend to start now. To break that cycle longterm school curriculums would have to be improved to be more inclusive and for some reason we cannot have that either.

(Among other veritable measures, this is just the first that came to mind, as everything my school taught about homophobia/racism is that “No, it is bad” - no explanation, no highlighting why courage to stand up against it is important or highlighting lives of minorities which had an positive impact on the world [e.g. Turing]. History lessons in Germany focusses a lot on the damages done during WWII and yet barely anyone knows here that it wasnt just jews that were killed in concentration camps, and even less people know that the homosexuals were not freed after WWII came to an end. Even less people know about magnus Hirschfeld and his revolutionary work at that time. There is such a focus on the topic WWII and yet the schools fail to create a whole before/after picture of it - it honestly is a travesty.)

I really hate that “We are not as bad as X” mentality. That should not be the baseline. We have hundreds of countries worldwide, we can see what works for the people and what does not. We could look at every topic, be it equality, education, infrastructure, local governments or whatever and look for the ‘best’ country and then look what we can copy to make things better here. But no, that would be to easy and scientific and what about my profits/religion/bigotry.

Hi, German here (even born in Dessau, the city mentioned in the article).

Personally I doubt that the youth thinks their parents/grandparents had it easier. I mean my parents grew up in Eastern Germany and while some things were better a lot of other things were way worse. My grandparents are the generation which rebuild a destroyed nation.

One of the key problems in Eastern Germany is they got screwed over and over again (e.g. by the red army, then by the sovjiet regime and then by the German reunification). Each time they had to rebuild with less ressources than before. That means like 90% of industry in Eastern German was destroyed.

So growing up here the goal for many, including me, was to leave. There are not many good jobs there and Western Germany pays better for the same jobs. None of my friends stayed in Dessau. And that is a phenomenon going on since the reunification - Dessaus inhabitants are notably older on average. I still live in Eastern Germany, in a bigger city though - and I work remote for a company in “Western Germany” as it pays roughly 20.000 € more than equal positions locally.

So a lot of the people who stay, stay because they can’t leave. And thus social circles shrink and diversity gets erradicated - no LGBTQ* person or person of color will want to stay as there is nothing for them. So now you have a bunch of young pissed people with no voice against them. Perfect breeding ground for Nazi ideology. And then they get older and angrier and get kids themselves and “suddenly” you have a nazi youth.

And the politicians do not help. At. All. This is a problem 75+ years in the making but it still gets ignored. There is no perspective for a lot of small German towns.

Google may have had a moral responsibility to share information if they possessed it, but ultimately, isn’t it the government’s duty to warn its citizens about such disasters? After all, they are the ones responsible for the safety of the people they govern.

Reminds me of: the venn diagram of religious creeps and bigots is a circle.
