Must be good beer.
Friends don’t let friends get Microsoft software when they’re drunk.
Bye everyone I’m getting uploaded to the cloud apparently
Bavaria has rarely shown smart political decisions in the last decades.
Of course Bavaria. Everyone one else in Europe is thinking about moving away from US companies but Bavaria is killing of OSS initatives to move to the MS cloud…
- Bavaria is also opposing the ban of combustion engines by 2035
- Bavaria was leading the abolishment of naming of meat like products like “vegan sausage” or “vegan burger”
- Bavaria is openly opposing renewable energy efforts
- Bavaria gives a shit about climate protecting iniatives
- Bavaria is repressing political left and ecological groups
Bavaria gives a shit about climate protecting iniatives
“giving a shit” means “caring about”, I think you meant the opposite
Bavaria, the Texas of Europe
One would think that the former GDR would be doing this instead.
Now let’s please explain how that thought entered you mind and you then thought it plausible enough to state it publicly?
Well, it’s obvious from your condescending and insulting tone that you’re completely right and I’m completely wrong, so there’s no use pretending that it would be in any way valuable for me to present an ‘explanation’.
Reminder: Microsoft relocated their headquarters to Munich after they scored the win to abandon LiMux, the first OSS project in a big city. This is just the return on investment. Works very well in a state that doesn’t care for high level corruption.
Edit: Bavaria also meddled with the decision to adopt Open Document Text as defacto standard in Germany. My memory is a little bit blurry on this and internet search for older articles is just…non-existent anymore.
Anyway, that decision was reversed .
Edit 2: There might be something else going on in the background as well. Lidl/Schwarz and SAP are going heavy on the “German Cloud”. They are both from Baden-Württemberg, another power-player in the south. This almost looks like a standoff.
Not only to Munich, but LITERALLY! around the corner of the CSU headquarters: https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_car&route=48.1780765%2C11.5938809%3B48.177162%2C11.5908394#map=19%2F48.177770%2F11.592011
Of course Bavaria would.
Germany should just abandon that state (and Saxony where all the Nazis are). Together, they are the bane of Germany. One holding it back and the other wanting to make Putin their savior.
I guess that explains why there was a dude wearing a literal fucking Hitler mask at sachsonring this year…

Divide Germany you say? I feel like that’s been done before
A high enough wall surrounding those two states, maybe including Thuringia (Nazis) and Saxony-Anhalt (also Nazis) would be a good first step…
Some of us still have relatives there who are not Nazis.
They have time to get out.
I rather move the Nazis to Saxony.
The amount of hate i have for Söder could power a little village
Just not a Bavarian village. Renewable energy is too woke.
Lobbyists.
That’s the USA terminology, in Europe it is called corruption.
You would think so. But in Germany they are also called lobbyists.
Well yes because lobbying is an actual part of getting the message out to representatives. You’re advocating for them to do something. In itself there’s nothing wrong with lobbying but people just always associate it with quod pro quo corruption shit.
Well, they are often involved or are around such deals, but the difference is that in USA the quid pro quo is perfectly legal & money can be exchanged openly.
And no one gives a fuck about it! How can this obvious corruption be tolerated?
- it’s systemic. There’s no representative democracy without some degree of corruption.
- People are alienated from politics: they think that it’s the politician’s job to do politics and disengage (until they feel they get screwed over)
But we have been getting screwed over from day 1
Exactly.
So the only viable strategy (for system that’s screwing us over) is to make the people believe that “there is no alternative” to neoliberalism.
Like you know that the kid surely will hit the only lamp post on the whole parking ground while learning to ride the bicycle you know what happens when Markus Söder is in charge.
This seems unwise.
Söder is not wise
Einstein’s quote about infinite stupidity comes to mind…
The stupid ones are the people who keep voting for this party, though. Have a Hitler quote for that: “How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don’t think.” (apparently meant without sarcasm)
The politicians are just self-serving assholes.
Tell me
Ty
If you were a criminal convicted of espionage, then good luck to you for finding a job, especially in government. But if you’re called Microsoft, then it’s alright.
Nochmal Bayern!
