Merz ist Mr. Burns.

Just adding a certain style of moustache is probably quicker (and because of that safer) to do.

Das Existenzrecht Israels anzuerkennen ist für die da drüben schon Genozidleugnung. Ist, wenn man die Kommentare des verantwortlichen Mods liest, ziemlich offensichtlich.

I’m not denying that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. I think that suggesting that the answer to genocide should be more genocide is absolutely vile.

“I oppose genocide. Unless it’s a group I dislike.”

And most people prefer content algorithms. Or maybe a better way of phrasing it would be they’re used to and expect content algorithms. Having to actively search for and follow topics is not only yet another hoop users have to jump through (good UX has as few steps as possible to get you where you want, a good chunk of users jumps ship at every step) it also requires that they know which hashtags are being used for the content they want to see beforehand, which might be difficult for you if you relied on content algorithms before.

Because even his idiotic voters wouldn’t intentionally drive up their power bill. Well, some might, but most wouldn’t. But if it’s harder for consumers to make that informed choice his friends in industry can flood the American market with inefficient crap and his voters will probably blame Biden or immigrants or Jewish space lasers for their increased power bill.

Prinzipiell ja, aber die grundlegende und trotzdem sozialverträgliche Überarbeitung des Rentensystems die wir brauchen kommt mit dieser Koalition sowieso nicht. Kein Fortschritt ist immerhin besser als aktiver Rückschritt.

Nice victim-blaming, creep.

Do you also turn off autocorrect? As for why I’m not proofreading my entries? I am. But typos happen. Try to put yourself into the shoes of the average office drone or consumer just using a PC as a tool. I’m pretty sure I’ve harped on this before, but most people aren’t experts or enthusiasts, they just want a working computer that’s as simple to use as possible. The benefits of a case sensitive-file system are far outweighed by how susceptible it is to user error.

Situationsabhängig. Das Grundgesetz erlaubt bewaffneten Widerstand explizit, wenn es keine anderen gangbaren Wege gibt um die Demokratie wiederherzustellen. Da sind wir im Moment natürlich (noch) nicht, und jede Situation in der Molotowcocktails gerechtfertigt sind, ist eine Situation von der man Kinder fernhalten sollte, von da her auf jeden Fall schlechtes Parenting von Connis Mama.

I’ve used Linux, yes. And I’m not “crying” I just find it annoying. Good grief.

you should have not written them differently.

But you did.

Remember that 99% of the time that’s gonna be because of a typo for 99% users. They won’t have File.txt, FILE.TXT and FiLe.tXt, they’ll have ReportMay.docx and REportMay.docx or whatever.

And yeah, that includes me. I don’t want case-sensitivity for that reason alone. Thanks, but no thanks.

They almost certainly expected it. That’s why they’ve tried to cosy up to him, to get exemptions for their businesses.

Being attacked by a cat is annoying, not potentially lethal. Also cats don’t usually attack without reason. If a cat keeps attacking for “no reason” that’s learned behaviour. Their instinct is to run away from humans, which is what wild and feral cats do unless cornered.

Two bad things can be true at the same time.

Israel is currently engaged in ethnic cleansings in Gaza and the West Bank.

True.

Many of Israel’s neighbours would “drive the Jews into the sea” if they ever got the chance.

Also true.

The answer to genocide is not inviting more genocide.

And yes, nukes are effective as a deterrent. Look at how reluctant the West is to support Ukraine against a genocidal invasion because of Russia’s repeated nuclear threats. There’s no way any country is going to give up its nuclear weapons after Ukraine showed just how little security guarantees from the great powers are actually worth.

Da war noch nie jemand. Das waren schon vor der Teilung dünn besiedelte Gebiete.

That was before Netanyahu brought the far right into power, and before the US gave said far right a blank cheque for ethnic cleansing (and that’s the charitable way of phrasing that).

Sadly the current Israeli government isn’t likely to leave willingly. Certainly not while they have the full backing of the US.

At least until the next French election. Not exactly a long-term guarantee. Germany needs its own deterrent.

It’s better to be told that you can’t enter by the embassy than to be detained at the border.
