Nur um das klarzustellen - ich bin voll und ganz dafür ein Verbotsverfahren gegen die AfD einzuleiten. Aber wenn ich mir die Diskussion im Bundestag anschaue, bin ich was das angeht halt nicht wirklich optimistisch.

Ist ein bisschen die Frage wie viel man ihnen zusammen mit den Schlüsseln zum Kanzleramt überreichen will. Ich würde hoffen, dass es einen gewissen Widerstand gäbe wenn die Faschos versuchen die Kommunikationskanäle und -daten an sich zu reißen. Ist zugegebenermaßen vermutlich zu viel gehofft.

Natürliche Monopole sollten allgemein in öffentlicher Hand sein, aber bei Kommunikation bin ich doch sehr zwiegespalten. Einerseits würde ich dem deutschen Staat momentan deutlich weiter trauen als Zuckerberg, anderseits halt auch nur so lange wie die AfD nicht an der Macht ist.

But Fukushima did render a fairly large area uninhabitable, and the ongoing cleanup is still costing billions every year.

Also, there’s still no solution to nuclear waste beyond burying it and hoping that no one digs it up.

Renewables exist, and, combined with upgrading the grid and adding sufficient storage facilities, can provide for 100% of electricity demand at all times. Without any of the risks associated with nuclear power (low as they may be, they exist), and without kicking a radioactive can down the road for hundreds of generations.

Ich wäre ja schon glücklich, wenn ich einfach nur ein Opt-out aus IOC und FIFA-Finanzierung bekommen würde.

Oh for the love of fuck. Americans. Your country isn’t the centre of the universe. It doesn’t matter where a company’s headquarters are. If you are doing business in, for example, Germany, you have to abide by German laws. Being American isn’t an excuse and it doesn’t shield you from consequences for breaking the law.

Also, the big issue is that Valve isn’t actually using their right to refuse service. People can spread all sorts of bigotry via Steam’s discussions and groups without Valve acting on it. They’re providing a platform for hate speech and that is inherently immoral, regardless of what the law says.

Valve also does business outside the US. American law doesn’t clear them of their legal obligations in other countries. And besides, legality and morality are not always the same. Providing a platform for hate speech is supporting hate speech, and as far as I’m concerned that’s unethical regardless of whether or not it’s legal.

And ultimately they’re still Valve’s responsibility. If you provide a platform, you’re responsible for what people do on it.

Really? Because in my experience you have to wade through racist, homo- and transphobic, and misogynistic shit the second you foolishly open the discussions page on any game that features black or brown, LGBTQIA, and/or female characters.

It’s not just contrived it’s unethical in the episode that’s supposed to be justifying it. They’re withholding a cure based on “well, fate wants you all to die.” And yes, I’m going with fate and not evolution because that’s not how evolution works dammit.

Merz is going to form a coalition with the SPD and/or the Greens. We’re going to get another 16 years of stagnation, not the fall of the republic.

I do acknowledge that, but a society is made up of individuals. And none of those individuals is responsible for the crimes committed by their ancestors. Guilt is not passed down through generations. I do not believe that people living in former colonies are entitled to reparations because my ancestors committed crimes against their ancestors, even if those crimes still have repercussions in the current day.

Reparations for what? At least here in Germany there’s virtually (and I’m covering my bases here, I’m fairly sure that it’s literally nobody) nobody left who could be held even partially responsible for colonialism, and I am not willing to pay for crimes that I did not commit. Very few people are, I’d imagine.

Thanks for elaborating. That’s a much better description of what happened.

All parties other than the Nazi Party were banned. Wtf are you talking about?

All I did was point out that no, the Steam Deck isn’t the best deal for everyone. Chill.

But since I’m back here already, if you’re trying to sell me the Steam Deck as a Playstation 5 Pro replacement I’d expect visual parity with at least the regular PS5, at comparable framerates. Which I know the Deck isn’t capable of. It isn’t a replacement for a stationary console or PC because that’s not what it’s designed to be. It’s primarily a handheld, designed to compete with other handhelds.

And I wasn’t going to go there but ease of use is also a major point in favour of the Playstation because you won’t have to deal with “getting around” things, ever.

Different people have different use cases which are best served by different devices.

Not always and not for everyone. If you want to output a decent quality image to a TV to play on the couch, then the Steam Deck isn’t exactly a great choice because it can’t really do that, it struggles to maintain playable framerates in modern games at its own native resolution, nevermind a TV’s (either 1080p or increasingly often 4k). If all you play is older and/or indie games it might still work fine, but it’s not a one size fits all.

More, and that’s assuming you can ever build momentum. I wasn’t defending the choice.

Because fixing something from the inside takes work and time. And it’s not like it wasn’t happening (as much as I’m not a fan of it because I actually am one of the evil liberals people here love to complain about), people like AOC or Tlaib would never have been prominent voices ~20 years ago. But generational change happens over a timespan of, and I feel that it’s very odd that I need to point this out, generations.
