Would be lovely if i could use my already existing EUID Account to vote there. But no, of course you need another separat account. For something from the same organisation that runs on the same domain …

or are we dancer?

oh hell, i have to look myself. have not booked a room in over a year. It was on some site similar to booking.com for vacation rentals in Germany. And i noticed mobile was cheaper by sometimes 5%!

oh right okay, i forgot that this is a thing. its noticeable on hotel rooms as well with mobile vs. desktop prices for examples. thanks for the answer.

Out of curiosity, why? I have Linux in it and the last time any website complained about “incompatibility” must have been at least 5 years ago. Nowadays i think such workarounds are completely unnecessary.

Unfortunately not true. When I look at how many people have been voting on the right recently. For example among AfD voters in Germany (which got 30% in some areas), Trump is still very popular. The cancer is rampant here too.

Linux has helped me rediscover my love for computers. And the many small and larger hobby projects I can now embark on because of it do in fact help with my mental health.

My wording was poorly chosen. You are right of course. Its not a waste in that sense. But when better alternatives are available, which will hopefully soon achieve an acceptable level of efficiency, it makes no sense to build more. Apart from the space problem.

Pumpspeicherkraftwerke. We have 31 of them in germany. Which is pretty much the maximum possible because you can’t build them just everywhere. And quick search says these things are economically unsustainable because of the extremely high construction costs but very low revenues. It is wasted money.

At the moment, I have a hard time to imagine them even surviving that long. But “Totgesagte leben länger”.

But this is not a Mozilla-exclusive problem. Open source in general has a massive funding problem.

Hate to say it but can not realy blame them. They need to make money somehow. And Google wont pay 80% of their bills forever.

Honestly, that is actually a dope idea. i know some ladies that would buy this.

I would not say that i fully trust our politicans, but there are significant checks and restrictions in place.

I mean, we had an all-encompassing totalitarian state that had absolute control over the country (or at least parts of it) 2 times in our history. We kinda learned the one or another thing from that.

And about the direct democracy thing. There have been and continue to be efforts to introduce more options. And I was an advocate myself for the longest time of my life.

But after seeing how some of the population behaved during Covid and how they are currently behaving in the East (where an ultra-right wing party has taken power) I’m not sure it’s a wise idea to give more direct power to an uninformed, easily manipulated mob.

But thats a topic for another time.

You are the one that does not seem to understand. There is no such thing as voting on issues at all in germany. We elect the political party we believe will tackle the problem in the way that aligns with our desired outcome. But the ordinary citizen has no say in the matter directly.

There is no voting on tax rate, zoning, abortion or whatever. Nowhere in germany. Neither localy nor nationwide. The only thing that could possibly be comparable would be a referendum where, for example, you have to collect 1 million votes and then you can submit this to the state as a request. But there is no guarantee they will even accept it.

Its kinda weird for germany too. After having a total surveillance state twice in our history you’d think we had something against it. And we are in general very privacy minded. But the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

For germany:

How do they know you are a citizen?

Everybody has an identity card. And you will be sent an election letter which you then show there. It has your Voter-ID and district number on it.

How do they know in what political division your vote should be counted?

Well the voting happens inside the respective districts. Plus you have the number on your letter.

For local referenda, how do they know what issues you are eligible to vote on?

No such thing in germany.

“Synchronous 26” and “Synchronous 320” sounds super weird. Are you combining RAM with different clock frequencies / timings? that can and often will cause problems like instabilities and crashes. i would take out the one you added and try the games again.

Oh for fucks sake…

And it is the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. just lol.

Well many others are still here…

Part of the german gov already moved to Mastodon at social.bund.de or at least posting there the same posts as on the other plattform. But i can well imagine they dropping Shitter completely.
