  • Like at the end of the day it’s just humans developing a system to make sense of nature

    The core of the matter is that we have multiple, mutually incompatible schemes sharing in part the same terminology. Biology is not cooking, both fields care about vastly different things thus the categorisation scheme is different, that's the end of it. Culinarily, tomatoes have too much umami to be fruit. Botanically peppermint is an aromatic, I recommend you not put any into your soffritto.

    EDIT:

    Tomato is also dominated by oxalic acid, not malic, citric, (typical fruit acids) or acetic (fermented/overripe). Oxalic acid is in parsley, chives, spinach, beans, lettuce, that kind of stuff. "It's sour" isn't sufficient to describe a taste profile, our tongues may not tell them apart but our noses definitely do.

    I think it should be possible to break the culinary categorisation down to chemistry. That doesn't tell you anything about the "why" but it's definitely not random and definitely not all in our heads.

  • I wouldn't count on the federation they've been doing nothing all these years. Schleswig-Holstein law has favoured FLOSS solutions since 2009 ("where technically possible and economical"), and bits and pieces were introduced as early as 2012. ZenDiS exists since 2022, opendesk is based on dPhoenixSuite, work done by Dataport precisely for Schleswig-Holstein, and they're still doing most of the development work. More importantly though I'm not seeing any political commitment on the federal level, the Bundeswehr switching over because they care about stuff doesn't mean that the, what, finance ministry cares. The BND probably also cares but tough luck getting them to confirm or deny anything.

  • SteamOS is not a good desktop distribution, which isn't surprising as it's not supposed to be one. It's specialised for handhelds.

    Go install Ubuntu or something, really anything, ideally don't have an Nvidia GPU, install steam, done. SteamOS has no special sauce regarding running games.

  • Ne das passt 100% Faust auf's Auge. Mantasleep is ne US-Firma, bei denen wird ja inzwischen absolut nichts hergestellt, die sagen auch dass es in China hergestellt wird, die Chinesen verkaufen das Ding dann ohne Markenlogo selber, Produktionslinie steht ja schon. Um sowas zu verhindern müsste man selber herstellen, weltweit Gebrauchs/ Geschmacksmusterschutz beantragen, oder weitaus weniger gierig bei der eigenen Gewinnmarge sein.

    Musterschutz müsstest du mal nachgucken kann ja einen Grund geben warum es das China-Modell nicht auf Amazon gibt, ansonsten fröhliches Dropshippen.

  • You don't need nukes to make Russia think thrice, they can be easily hurt a lot in very conventional ways. What the nuklear deterrent is good for is them not defending themselves with nukes. Generally speaking the only thing nukes are good for is to stop others from using nukes.

    Also do watch Yes, Minister, and Yes, Prime Minister. Best political TV show ever and not just because it's hilarious. Only show able to put Babylon 5 on second place.

  • You mean cause a chargeback or something? You'd have to find a sufficiently shady seller, the key might get revoked, also you're supporting another ilk of scumbags.

  • Du ich hab' eine und die passt. Die Firma hier, mehr oder weniger per Zufall ausgewaehlt. Das Premium-Ding wäre das hier, verstellbare Augenmuscheln hören sich Sinnvoll an, die alte funktioniert aber ausreichend und ist nicht abgenutzt also is es mir das Geld nicht wert. Bin aber auch ein ruhiger Schläfer.

    Ansonsten -- Gewöhnungssache? Wichtig ist halt wirklich kein Druck auf den Augen. Evtl. beim Musikhören oder so dran gewöhnen.

    Wenn alles nicht hift gibt's natürlich immer noch Rolladen und du kannst auf LED-Jagd gehen.

  • Covid was a completely different situation, also, here in the north people took it very well (Wat mut, dat mut).

    Importantly: Fighting Covid largely meant sitting on your arse. In isolation, bored, for months and months on end. Fighting a war is, psychologically, more like getting together and sewing masks and that worked effortlessly, organically.

  • Abgesehen von medizinischem Zeug (Schlafapnoe usw) ist der wichtigste Faktor Licht.

    Nix da "kein blaues Licht" oder "schluck Melatonin", das bewirkt alles nur Minuten, das wichtige sind Lichtsensoren die unter der Bewusstseinsschwelle das Gehirn auf den Schlaf vorbereiten. Summa Sumarum: Kauf' dir ne Schlafmaske. Eine die richtig abschließt ohne dass du die Augen zu machen musst, absolut dunkel, noch nicht mal das Standby-Licht vom Wecker oder sonstwas. Gibt's für 10 Euro in anständig, 30 oder 40 in Premium.

  • Let just say i have not a good opinion of the resilience of many of my fellow german countrymen (and women, and others).

    You mean you don't have a good grasp on mass psychology.

  • As the old saying goes “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

    It may be convenient to look at classical interpretations but "The intuition we evolved to interact with macro systems is also applicable to the micro level" is in itself an extraordinary claim.

  • Anything that happens in LA is being attributed to protestors,

    "The tactic that we're not employing in LA has no effect in LA".

    I don’t actually disagree, but I think our hyper-connected social media makes it practically impossible to avoid the kind of cross-contamination that soils the optics of even a well-organized protest here

    On the live feeds I watched I spotted exactly one protester who might have had training. She was good at leading a chant, that's it. Noone had an understanding of the larger situation, everyone was driving by the seat of their pants.

    Now, of course, it's too late to build those structures, build professionalism, but in the civil rights era you had it. Rosa Parks didn't just decide one morning to sit in the front of the bus, the thing had been prepared for months and months. Everything was gamed out, people trained to have the right reaction in every circumstance, the whole shebang.

    Fun fact: I actually played "Greenpeace and police" on the primary school schoolyard. About ten people sit down, hook into each other's arms, four or five "cops" try to separate them. That's the kind of cultural diffusion you want, enough dissemination of tactics through workshops that primary school kids pick up random fun exercises as a game.

    I think I’ll just leave you with a MLK quote I think is relevant.

    Indeed, it is relevant: Because you still haven't learned how to make yourself heard.

    And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity.

    That's not a call to violence. It's a call to get out of a comfortable rut and fight for justice, equality, and humanity. Show me an MLK quote where he says "Yo dudes, just riot, man". Especially the black civil rights movement was vulnerable to being portrayed as violent (racist stereotypes and everything). How did they get around that? Did Rosa Parks spit in the face of the cop who arrested her?

    Maybe it’s different overseas, but from what I’ve seen written about it in our media you have the same problem.

    "Protests were overwhelmingly peaceful with riots at the fringes". The social media sphere is its own battleground, the AfD basically employs the same fake news outrage tactics as the MAGA sphere does in the US. No, you won't get Fox News to change its narrative and to stop just making things up, but that's not the only news network you have. Achieving anything on the social media front requires consistency and reach, honestly not my speciality. Ask someone who has never used a dial-up modem. Centrist-compatible edgy meme accounts with the occasional leap into the radical when the opportunity is right? Broad outreach is crucial otherwise the important stuff will stay in your bubble.

    Also never forget that Antifa action can look like this. People do love to laugh at fascists, also liberals, even plenty of conservatives, give them plenty of opportunity to do so. Nick their clothes while they're bathing, the whole republic was snickering. Those things are click magnets as you can see them being picked up even by US media.

  • how does that not still get used as justification for militarized escalation by police?

    It splits the whole thing. Liberals can have their prayer vigil while the police is busy. Especially with jackboots, with individual motivation and not "crack down on them and I mean everyone" being the order from above, all you have to do is occupy them, they just want to have fun. Scratch that itch. Use their toys.

    And then liberal media can go on waxing about non-violent protest, about that beautiful prayer vigil, how nice that is. Before, they couldn't: Because there was no clear delineation, the vigil and the riot couldn't be told apart. Thus you enable things getting air time, positive or at least neutral coverage, that would otherwise be swept under the rug.

    And before you go on and say "but the whole US media landscape is captured by capital interest and racists" -- yes. And the capitalists want their immigrants. They don't, in principle, mind speaking of "ICE excesses".

    I think you’re just a shitlib who enjoys larping as an anarchist.

    What I think is the actual issue here is an American incapability to actually organise. Last time you had a civil rights movement with any sort of discipline was, well, the civil rights movement. MLK, Black Panthers, etc. I suggest reading up a bit on what they did instead of jacking off to pseudo-insurrectionist fantasies.

    the police were already escalating before the protests started.

    You act as if that was something that never happens elsewhere. As if others haven't found ways to deal with it. Me saying "Telling everyone to just throw stones is a stupid idea" is not an opinion, it's observed history. It has been tried. It doesn't work. Other approaches work better. But Americans, in their infinite wisdom, will do the right thing only after having exhausted every other possibility. Listening and learning from other people's experience? Why, what's the point, America is so exceptionally exceptional nothing could ever apply to you. Protesting with discipline, diversion, and de-escalation tactics cannot work because you have more people per capita or something. I retract that "fed" and will simply call you "yank".

  • Germany had this since forever, it's just how offline laws translate to the internet: There's a difference between a) ordinary nudity, b) eroticism and c) straight-up porn. The latter was always 18+, in video rental stores etc. they would have a separate section and if you didn't look of age you'd get ID'd.

    You can't order alcohol online in Germany without a proper age check, and the same applies to porn. For paid offerings that's no issue, payment providers offer age checks (your bank knows how old you are and them vouching suffices), for free sites it's a no-go, noone is going to go through the hassle. Especially as you can escape off the German-language internet onto the international one and merely click through an "are you 18" banner.

    Notably, pornhub isn't blocked in Germany -- neither from the German side, nor from pornhub's. Very occasionally DNS bans are ordered when a site without age checks tries to specifically target the German market. Mostly though it's down to German google not serving up those international porn sites which in the end is good enough for the youth protection authorities because the point is not to make access impossible, it's to make sure that youth not ready for content doesn't stumble across it. And once you're actively seeking, you're ready, the hoops you have to jump through are proof of the "active" part. YMMV on "not ready for porn with 18", back in the days there was still softcore. On free TV. Probably won't hurt kids to not start out with gonzo.
