It’s someone having fun at the beach.

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.

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.

Even as someone who supports Israel, I’m not sure that emboldening wannabe dictator Bibi and his even more insane coalition partners further is good for Israel. Israel should be allowed to destroy the rapist horde that is Hamas. Israel should not be allowed to expand their illegal settlements (quite the opposite in fact) or to annex Gaza/the West Bank, but that’s exactly what Trump’s administration is gonna encourage.

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.

Das wäre vernünftig und staatstragend, daher wird es die CDU garantiert nicht machen.

What a load of bullshit.

First off, the communists split from the SPD, not the other way around. Second, the communists completely refused to work with the (according to them) “social fascist” SPD. Third, the one alternative to Hindenburg in that election was literally Hitler and the other was Thälmann who, again, was as explicitly anti-democratic as Hitler. Fourth, Hindenburg did not immediately appoint Hitler, he did so only after Hitler had secured a majority in parliament (courtesy of the DNVP). Fifth, no, the alleged liberals (social democrats) did not cooperate with the communists because the communists were too busy trying to turn Germany into a second Soviet Union and were the only ones to vote against the enabling act (the communists having already been purged from parliament). The communists only made token efforts at reconciliation after Hitler had already succeeded.

Really? I find spelling out “national socialist” much more impactful than using “Nazi” simply because it isn’t generally used as casually (like in “grammar nazi” etc).

Germany, zero minutes. Postal voting ftw!

Nazi is just shorthand for national socialist. It means the exact same thing. The article did call them what they are.

I’m sorry but (all other issues with the scene aside) pretending that performative “apologies” are a good thing actually is genuinely problematic. Performative apologies are inherently manipulative by drawing attention away from the thing you’re apologising for and by being designed to be an effort that feels bad to reject.

Neurotypical here - that’s the correct response.

Gut, ist nicht komplett undenkbar aber ich muss zugeben, einen internen Fehler bei Google für ziemlich unwahrscheinlich zu halten. Das Problem betrifft halt wirklich nicht nur Google-Kunden. Oder Bahnkunden.

Um ein theoretisches deutsches Atomwaffenprogramm glaubwürdig zu machen braucht es definitiv eine sichere Quelle für waffenfähiges Material.

If all apps that you want to use work, there’s no reason for you to be concerned.

Hast du den Artikel gelesen? Das Uran kommt aus Russland.

Ich bin prinzipiell nicht Mal gegen die Idee einer deutschen Variante der Japan-Option um im Fall eines amerikanischen NATO-Austritts die deutsche und europäische Sicherheit gewährleisten zu können, aber dieser Reaktor trägt nicht wirklich dazu bei.

Mir ist nicht ganz klar, was Google (oder jeder beliebige andere Provider, das ist kein Google-exklusives Problem) hier machen soll? Einem der Christians die Mailadresse wegnehmen? In Zukunft verhindern, dass zu ähnliche Adressen registriert werden? Aber das würde den Christians die hier Probleme haben ja nicht helfen.
