Thank you for explaining! I agree with OP, that does sound super annoying for the end user. Trademark law can go fuck itself though.

I think I don’t get you comment. Whom do you refer to with ‘They’? The French government is switching over to Visio, as per the article.

You cannot. The rough justification for the law being as it is, is that an insult is attacking/damaging their dignity, which every human is entitled to.

What distribution do you use?

What distribution do you use?

Three Arrows on Youtube for history for the first half of the last century. Has strong emphasis of the comparison of pre- and interwar politics and contemporary events.

If you go this Youtube channel, you’ll first be greeted by videos about Jordan Peterson and the likes (and how they misrepresent historical events), but the guy behind the channel also has a podcast that is purely about history without analysis of current reception of historical events.

You might believe that the following facts are besides your point, but I still want to get this straight:

• Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic reached its peak in 1923
• the NSDAP (the nazi party) got only 2% of the vote in the 1928 elections
• Hitler rose to power in 1933, after getting over 40% of the vote.

Note that there were 4 national elections between 1930 and 1933. The Weimar Republic was about as stable politically as a house of cards on a trampoline.

It’s still true that part of the success of Hitler’s party was due to former non-voters losing fate in the established parties, especially in regards to economic policy, but it is not as direct of a connection as your comment makes it out to be.
