Seems the other way around works just as well. Say you like an Apple product and attract someone who goes „brainless Apple fanboy“ or „Google does it better because freedom“

In regards to stock systems, I agree.

Been stuck in the convenient ecosystem for a while, and I cope by telling myself Apple makes the bulk of its money with hardware and services. Not ads like Google. But if I would start over from zero, I think Graphene OS and Linux would be the way. But migrating the whole family away from our current Apple line up - I dread that challenge.

Nah kids, this ain’t Links Awakening. It’s the light world from A Link to the Past.

Still one of the best SNES games out there.

Yeah, same with forcing ISPs to save connection data on all users long term. European court slapped on the hands a couple of times, still not done. Like some kind of undead policy

Not a reason to not wish for a different environment around gaming communities. Just sitting around thinking „always has been that way“ is not the way to change anything about the situation at all.

For me it’s the size. Can not really trick my body to just swallow. „But that’s huge! We have to chomp on it to break it down! Trying to kill yourself by choking?“

Many attributed gains for the AfD with people voting out of protest. I think that explanation does not cut it anymore.

Over 30% of two German federal states voted far right out of conviction. You can no longer claim this is just protest. Wish I could say where it all went wrong, why a big chunk of east Germany rejects democracy and embraces this.

Dark days ahead for our democracy.

EDIT: the results in Saxony had to be corrected, robbing the AfD of the blocking minority size in parliament. Probably seeing a „they stole the vote“ form soon on social media.

That win is important, but Sony already sued Quad9 in Italy just this week. It’s one battle won, but not the war.

In Italy they demand the same, blocking certain sites used for torrenting.

There were various secret meetings that became public afterwards. From plans to storming the Bundestag like Jan 6 and the Capitol to meetings with far right Nazis that are on watchlists of the local secret service, the Bundesverfassungsschutz.

Latest meeting was on the topic of „How to deport political opponents and immigrants after seizing the political system“ which not only featured known Nazis but members of the CDU Conservative Party (Merkel‘s Crew).

That was the drop too much that ignited the whole protest we see now. And it is well overdue if you ask me

To add on this: removed because it was clear the vote would not have been in favor.

Was pretty clear that it would return sooner rather than later.
