Fun fact: In 1989 the people of Eastern Germany (also known as GDR or DDR) started a revolution because the communist government was unable to provide them with sufficient amounts of bananas.

We say in Germany everything that is not explicitly allowed is forbidden. And this is just a little bit exaggerated, but not much.

In Germany there has been a court ruling that it is allowed to call the catholic church a “Kinderfickersekte” which translates to “child raping cult”.

It was only a lower court and the church choose to not object against it probably because they were smart enough to fear the additional publicity this would get if a higher court would confirm it. https://taz.de/Gotteslaesterung-ist-kein-Problem/!5067953/?t

Had a paywall in memmy but not when opening the link in mobile firefox.

You, sir are asking the right questions. Thank you for this.

Does it still run with a HD? Upgrading to SSD really accelerated mine.

Can‘t run DaVinci resolve as good and a bunch of other reasons. MacOS can be pretty nice.

Definitely not. But still okay for browsing and mail. My main machine is a 27” 5K iMac from 2014 that is running MacOs Sonoma under open core.

I am running Mint on a MacBook Air from 2008

Then I did the right thing by replacing my texts with correct spelled nonsense.

I downloaded my content before changing the posts to nonsense.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

And maybe some more people did what i did. Not deleting my accounts but replacing all my posts with content created by a bullshit-generator. Made texts look normal, but everything was completely senseless.

thank you kind stranger

must of made a mistake their

Pimmelgate

Hamburg Senator Andy Grote sent the police after being called 1Pimmel on Twitter. This lead to the fact that he will be known by this Name for the rest of his life

Wikipedia article translated for you:

In September 2021, Grote again got into public discussion. After he accused “ignorance” and a “stupid action” on the online platform Twitter in May 2021, celebrating masses in the Schanzenviertel who had violated corona distance rules,[17] another user commented on this with the tweet “You are so 1 dick”. 18][19]

Due to a criminal complaint filed by Grote, an investigation was initiated for insult. This in turn led to the Hamburg police at the alleged author of the tweet in the St. Pauli district on the 8th. September 2021 carried out a house search. The photo of the search order was published by the person concerned on Twitter. 20][19] In public, the proportionality of these police measures was also questioned because of Grote’s own violations of corona rules and his refusal to admit them publicly despite the fine notice, especially since the accused had already admitted to operate the Twitter account in question in a police subpoena and, according to his own statement, he had been promised to stop the proceedings for insignificance.[ 19] The entire incident became known as “Pimmelgate.” 18][21][22][23] The media echo was remarkably large, the New York Times and the Washington Post also reported on it.[ 24][25][26]

As a result, allusions to the tweet developed to a viral trend on the net (Streisand effect) as well as to stickers and graffiti in Hamburg, which were removed or painted over several times by the police. The use of numerous police forces for these measures was criticized. 27]

The Hamburg CDU accused Grote of unsovere handling of the matter and called on him to resign as interior senator in order to avert further damage from the police and the office. 28]

In March 2022, the investigation was closed for lack of public interest in law enforcement. 29] In August 2022, the District Court of Hamburg also ruled that the house search was illegal and inappropriate.[ 30] However, there was neither a compensation payment by the state apparatus nor an apology from Andy Grote himself.[ 31]

Don’t remember if my friend‘s Pro had a CD-Rom That were often removed to make room for a second HD or SSD

none of these did have a cd drive

I am running Mint on a 2011 MacBook Air and it is running just fine. I tried Manjaro recently on an iMac 2014 but it does not come with drivers for Wi-fi and Bluetooth so I went to Mint with this one too. And I installed Mint on a friend’s MacBook Pro, can’t quite remember what year that was, guess 2009. And she hasn’t called me once for support since so I guess no problems.

Come on, it is getting better here every day! And up to now this place seems not to be full of shit like reddit was.
