I didn’t prove shit. I don’t have to explain anything to you, motherfucker. Show your sources! … fkn reddit nonsense.

I live in Germany, it fkn sucks. Germans don’t realize the shit they’re missing while they’re too busy being embarrased and ashamed about their past. Everything is decades behind. Autobahn’s a busted piece of shit, rathaus still uses pen and paper, every restaurant sells the same exact shit: schnitzel, sausage, rump steak, pasta. There’s no variety. Every village looks the same, every city has the same exact stores. Everyone does the same shit, every day, week, year. You go to Austria in winter, Spain in summer. Like robots. The fear of change completely stalls progress here. I can drive a couple hours to Luxembourg, Belgium, France, Czech or Netherlands and it’s like I was zapped into the future. Far more sophisticated, advanced… better.

This country lacks cohesive leadership and it shows. And now some assholes want to get the fourth reich fired up (afd). Good news for them… the hard part, where you turn people into obedient drones, is already done!

If you believe that the move to FOSS office solutions will go well, you’re an idiot on top of everything else wrong with you. Just one of them .

My sources are from living here as an outsider. Seeing that Nazi shit like heilpraktikers still exist. Old habits die hard, eh? Good luck with Libre Office.

I don’t have to share shit with you. Here’s a source… my eyes. Fuck off.

In German and paywall. You can read it again for me. Or maybe fax it on over.

Or a convenient Cyanide flavored Tic Tac.

Seriously. While I support the change to foss solutions, this is going to go over like a fart in church for the people that were just forced off fax machines and into email a year ago. And there’s a zero percent chance that Germany will use any of those savings for a support infrastructure. The German way is to figure it out, and endure the suffering while you do with the bare minimum of support from people that barely know the shit themselves.

I have a friend who is principal at a high school here in DE and the stories she’s been telling me about the new push to get tablets into the hands of kids is straight fkn Monty Python level absurdity… from the staff!

Germany painted themselves into a corner with their refusal to modernize their tech infrastructure. The “it’s not broken, so don’t fix it” mentality has left them 20 years behind all their neighbors. But, hey, traditions over everything… amirite?

Nice try, Scamsung! I’m holding out for the Quad Fold.

The irony of this article being paywalled is the chef’s kiss.

It’s gotten more usable over the past couple of years. Sadly, I just got done getting all my family/friend contacts to get on Signal (they’d much prefer to use WhatsApp) so Session remains a lonely place for me. I seem to use it solely as a place to stash notes for myself, even though I do this with Signal as well.

I don’t know that we’ll ever see a messenger that both appeals to everyone and has all the features we want (from privacy to visual appeal).

This is how you can enlist fellow patriots like Jimmy John and Jersey Mike to get out of having to point guns at your fellow citizens on the whim of some grotesque madman.

For the remaining 15, they’ll just stick to their fax machines.

I’ve been using FeedBin after Google Reader sunset… so, a long time now. Every year I say I’ll bring it in-house, then I get billed for another year and say fuck it. It works fine. And now they have a minimalist podcast app called Airshow that lets me use my FeedBin account to synch my podcasts across devices. So, whatever… take my money. 25$ a year isn’t going to break me.

Edit: want to add that I use Netnewswire (free) to read my feeds. Integrates Feedbin and isn’t overkill on ridiculous feature that turn it into a p.o.s. subscription app.

A lot. A. Lot.

All that trouble to clown people… uses “alot”.

Kills me 🙃😘

Thank goodness for no Chat Control. Shit’s straight-up Bozo Time.

They’re bound to try again in a few months.

The live demo was fkn funny.

I love the phaal curries I can get in the UK! Set your soul (and innards) on fire!

Appreciate this. However, I’d rather see the paywall and say ‘fuck it’ than click stop lights and bicycles over and over. That shit’s a bigger plague than the paywall. 🤘🏼

Everything is now paywalled and absolutely none of it is worth jumping through the extra hoops to read. That said, thanks for posting the content in here.

Imagine being an architect or engineer… fancy office, sweet ass car, six figures… and you sit down one day to engineer “where should we put the access panels?” or “where should we but the divider pavers?” and THIS was your solution.

There’s a madman on the roof. What should be we do to get him down?

— Send up an axe.

As stupid as this sounds, eventually someone is going to suggest letting grocery stores be open on Sunday and this will usher in what German historians call “Der Modern Age”. There will be a domino effect… Rathaus will get Internet, Doctors will forgo fax for email and Aldi will finally bring Trader Joe’s to the motherland. We will slowly creep into the 21st century. One pointless rule at a time.

This stupid speed limit thing will be remembered as the catalyst of progress in the race to catch up to their neighbors.

( /s Because Germany hates change )

Queue up the: “I’m entitled to a peaceful Sunday” folks.

Goddammit. I use my InstantPot every fkn week. I guess once this one croaks, I’ll try the Ninja version. Friend of mine says it’s great. I’ll do my homework and make sure they don’t openly support slavery or eugenics.
