Makes sense. DW is German and consuming to anything related to Israel in the mainstream German media landscape drives you insane very quickly. You think our press is stellar compared to most places but it‘s a bizzaro world when it comes to the near east. The lies and double think is unbearable.

Ah, the next step of Gleichschaltung.

Reminds me of that time when Instagram went went full short brainrot where sound was always re-enabled or how the Youtube app started it last week.

Honestly? I would expect hackers to actually spread the truth here for once.

I agree. It‘s the only way to actually overcome capitalism. Same rules for all is important of course.

You seem to think there is absolutely no reliance on China by buying and relying on their tech. Or that it doesn‘t fuel their next invasion all the same. It does.

Besides, if you think buying turbines, panels and storage systems from China in 2026 is a one and done deal you‘re mistaken. They know how they work. They can shut them off if we sanction them. And they will give us many reasons to sanction them sooner rather than later.

And yet I still think we should buy them because we simply are out of alternatives. I also feel confident we can eventually turn them on again if they press the kill switch. And on top of that we will re-develop a domestic renewable energy industry that will make us much more independent.

But it will be painful. We will supply our enemy with money for their next war until then. I have no illusions about that.

Stop buying solar panels anf wind turbines from China, then? I‘m afraid things really aren‘t that simple but I agree we need a long term plan yesterday.

I’m reading and odd headline about the EU and wonder if it’s the Commission again. Then I‘m reading EU Commission and think lobbyist groups, foreign think tanks and the filthy rich.

Thank god cyberbullying isn‘t a thing because you can always walk away from your phone and spend time with your many offline friends! /s

People don‘t go to school in rural areas?

It will be different when they‘re forced to socialize IRL. Because now all the other kids are not online 24/7 either. This supposed problem is solving itself. I‘m a little more concerned about their lack of experience with the medium once they‘re allowed to use it. Then again a lot of them will use it anyway but even less supervised than before.

His presidency perfectly summarized. He‘s a mean bully that destroys things but if you give him your lunchbox and make some flattering remarks he‘ll be a little less shitty to you, personally. Rinse and repeat until the country he runs is no more.

Guess I‘ll hold off watching news and quietly enjoy the little pre WW3 peace time I have.

Some people just hate the idea of cheap clean energy or a basket full of little puppies. It can‘t be helped.

Yes because it makes people talk about that instead of their love affair with Palantir and their passionate support for Israel.

Whoever decided to showcase DLSS5 in it‘s current form is probably getting a raise and a nice bonus for this diversion.

This is the correct model. America developed very similarly, unlike parts of Eurasia which is why Europe and Asia are definitely culturally distinct, but America isn‘t. At least not for a lot of us.

Sorry „north“ Americans, but you‘re not that different from Argentinians to us.

They‘re made in two different countries but you‘re basically still right I guess.

They are already turbo unpopular and the coalition could go bust any moment. They have no good will from voters left to spend on this deeply unpopular and hypocritical commitment.

America is one continent.

ITT: Lots of angry Americans on copium. Stay strong.

They‘ve been doing a lot of research on mental health due to their long and dark Winters. I bet people would be happier everywhere if we put a higher priority on happiness. It‘s not a metric billion dollar companies seem to value.
