  • He actually criticized the construction of Israeli settlements and called for more help for Gaza, but you won’t learn that when your news source contains of three sentences. And BTW: he didn’t deny palestines right to exist. He wants to recognize Palestine after successful negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. You might want to start reading newspapers whose articles contain more than three sentences and maybe take back your racism accusation. It really is not helping

    We’ll, that here is exactly the issue. I do a price comparison on multiple sites before buying something expensive and Amazon is in most cases the cheapest supplier. I suspect that it is due to those illegal price control mechanisms that force sellers to offer the cheapest price there.

    And that is kind of a bad situation for everybody: You can post “Don’t use Amazon”, but it feels really stupid to pay more money for the same product from the same sellers on other platforms.


  • I know what you are saying, but it is not so bad: First of all, most things people are doing at work is not really related to the OS underneath. So if you are responsible for creating passports, you are using the special government program for passport creation. If you are a policeman, you are using the special police software to do your policework. Yeah, you need additional training, but in the best case your usual software keeps working. Most people are not really interacting with the OS during their work day.

    (and let’s be honest: Microsofts totally insane UI changes are also requiring lots of training. If you are used to just click on some specific buttons that somebody told you to click on, you’re totally lost in Microsofts crazy wonderland of ridiculous UI changes )







  • The crit d’air itself is cheap - I recently ordered one and even with postage to Germany it was under 5€. It was also quite easy - go to a website, put in data from your car licence, pay via credit card, that’s it.

    The big issue here is that they are kind of aggressive in weeding out older cars - you can’t get a crit d’air for cars older than 1997. That makes sense - those cars do not have modern emission tech and they are at least 28 years old. Some cities like Paris have even stricter rules and ban cars older than 2005.


  • What this meant was that your old Peugeot 205, which consume next to nothing as it is really light was forbidden, but a big Mercedes suv measured in liters/km was allowed without issues.

    It’s really unintuitive, but small older cars are consuming more gasoline than newer, bigger cars. My old Opel Corsa D uses more liters per kilometer than my parents big SUV and has worse emissions. There have been real improvements in fuel economy and exhaust cleaning in the last 30-40 years. The issue with those big SUVs is that they could be even more efficient if there were smaller and lighter. A modern engine in a small car like the Peugeot 205 would really be something.



  • Let’s not start blaming old people - we have one problem in Europe right now in regards to housing. The massive urbanization going on. People are moving from rural areas into the bigger cities. And those cities haven’t built enough new housing for all residents. Just one example: In my town the university has grown - there are more people coming to study and they need housing, but nobody constructed additional dorms. Let’s not blame old people for staying in their homes, let’s blame the government for steering us into a totally predictable housing crisis here.
