Wow, didn’t expect that. Let’s see how this turns out. It’s crazy how vulnerable our democracies are towards Russia.

Because the German federal administration thinks they can simultaneously address the issue of missing digitalization with an app

Germany is developing an app to help people locate the nearest bunker in the event of attack.

Why would you develop an app for bunkers that do not exist? Peak German

I got one on my work laptop this week. It’s controlled by a shitty management software that is used by our IT, but still.

At least regarding Germany the truth is the Greens have been pushing for more weapons deliveries almost since the beginning of the war. It has been pretty clear that not delivering Taurus is because Scholz decided so.

I used to search with site:reddit.com, but the quality of research results got much worse within the last years. For big investments like let’s say a new washing machine I use a more or less independent website that tests different devices, it costs about 5€ to see the results.

All in all I need much, much more time to do research. Often I simply do not buy anything in the end. It is very frustrating.

I switched to Linux Mint, it helped as well!

1. The search in the start menu searching the fucking web with bing instead of my computer
2. Accidentally hitting F1 and Edge immediately opens with some “help”

What’s a “FOCK”?

Sometimes it’s not the “classic” happy moments but intense experiences like these that make us feel alive.

feddit.org is a good choice, folks over there are pretty moderate. However as Lemmy is federated, you will still interact with extremist instances and their users such as hexbear.net or lemmy.ml, if your instance does not defederate.

You will learn fast which communities to avoid, just block then and mind your own business.

Other comments make a point though questioning your concept of left/right.

A gym membership, my mail account (mailbox.org) and Spotify.

It seems the NK soldiers were sent to the Kursk area, so technically not “in Ukraine”. This guy knows exactly what he is talking about.

Great news for Moldova. Hope the Russian trolls are super pissed.

The whole Cube Escape Series.

Ah yeah, a Migrant processing offshore plant (MPOP). Sounds very humane!

I wanted to name both Bosnia and Serbia at first, but the thing is - Bosnia and Herzegovina is not a functional country, whereas Serbia is (even if authoritarian and sucking Putin’s dick). The Serbs have high influence in Bosnia, they even have an own state (Republic iof Srpska), then there is the autonomous Brcko District.

Bosnia is fucking complicated and far away from being a stable country. Look up the Dayton Treaty if you want to dive a bit into it, it’s pretty interesting.

Wow, waiting for Bosnia must be a huge disappointment for Albania and North Macedonia. This is probably not gonna happen in the next 15 years…

I can feel that. But all my Spanish friends say the same: there is no work, and If you find it’s pay is way below your qualification or working conditions are shit. A Spanish man once told me “Spain is great to live but bad for work”, I guess many Spaniards feel that way…

It’s the same for “milk”, in Germany all the products like soy or oat milk have weird names like “Soy drink” now. Animal abuse lobbyists say otherwise consumers can get confused.
