Are you talking about the major java/jre repackaging issue, that was announced (proposed update procedure included) on the archlinux news-page, that you are supposed to check before an update?

If so, then you can’t really blame the distro, if you don’t follow basic best practice guidelines.
And then you’d also be pretty late to that update and should run updates more frequently. Once a week to at least once a month is a good idea. That’s the idea of a kinda bleeding edge, rolling release distro.

I agree. Unfortunately that is too abstract a factor for most peoples present investment decisions.

If you want to say “it has this specific vegetable and that makes difference” then that’s another perspective I don’t agree with.

That’s not a point I’m trying to make. Although my idea of Döner Kebap includes specific vegetable/salad ingredients, to my understanding the defining step was putting it in a portable loaf of bread, instead of having kebap on a plate. And as another commenter said, that idea might have been re-imported. But neither was I around when it first appeared, nor am I a Döner Historian of any capicity, so I have to rely on the sources I read. I’m also not passionate enough about the topic to do a lot more research. But no matter it’s origins: Döner holds a very special place in Germany’s culinary environment and that’s thanks to Turkish immigration history. So it’s definitely a significant food in this country.

Nobody denies its Turkish roots though. AFAIK putting Kebap in bread isn’t really a thing in Turkey and although one might argue how big a contribution that is, it’s that step that combined a Turkish dish with German Imbiss culture and made this a huge success all over Germany.

You’re welcome to try the same thing with Schnitzel and if you attain the same level of success and cultural significance, I’d rightfully call you the “inventor”. (though I have to inform you, that “Schnitzelsemmel” is a thing already, so maybe think of a different example)

Either the article is disingenuous or he’s an absolute idiot.

Or maybe you didn’t realize this was an analysis of the situation and an outlook on possible future development based on his economic expertise rather than a call to action.

Maybe we’ll get to the point. This news just shows us, that solar power can really be very impactful, even in not-so-sunny Germany. And that we’ve reached a turning point, where we can no longer ‘just’ put up more solar panels, but also start developping systems to store this excess energy in an economically feasible manner.

But actually, that’s nothing very new either. At least for home owners, who just put solar panels on their roofs, also investing in battery storage to use most of the produced energy themselves has been the economic strategy for a few years, since the price gap between what you got for putting energy into the grid, and what you had to pay for taking energy out of the grid was the only thing left that (economically) incentivized people to install solar power ever since the so called “Einspeisevergütung” subsidies have been dropped.

There’s just no economic incentive to do so. (yet?)

I do get, why people dislike GIMP. It has a bit of a steep learning curve. And approaches things uniquely.

But for a FOSS paint equivalent: have you tried Pinta? It’s much less complicated, and the UI isn’t too bad.

Was ist mit der Lesekompetenz der Leute los?

Der Artikel setzt sich von Anfang an kritisch mit dem Buch auseinander. Natürlich wird wiedergegeben, was die Autorin inhaltlich und sprachlich so von sich gibt, aber schon der erste Absatz schließt mit den Worten “nicht nur das wirft Fragen auf”.

Das Wort “Gleichschaltung” wird auf den NS-Kontext referenziert, ideologische Vorredner (Götz Kubitschek) werden zur Einordnung der Thesen identifiziert und es wird immer klar markiert, dass es sich bei den kruden Aussagen um Worte der Buchautorin handelt. Die Distanz des Autors ist durchgängig erkennbar.

Natürlich schafft so ein Artikel immer auch Aufmerksamkeit, und Leute die dem Gedankengut nahe stehen können ungeachtet dessen auf die Idee kommen, dass es sich für sie lohnen könnte das Buch zu kaufen um ihre Meinung bestätigt zu finden. Aber mir ist vollkommen schleierhaft, wie man auf die Idee kommen kann, der Autor des Artikels würde dieses Werk hier irgendwie positiv bewerben.

Wenn in Bayern im Woid ein Baam umfällt, macht er dann “Zäfix! Sakrament!”, auch wenn keiner da ist um es zu hören?

Wegen der Endung -ing, gell?

Das ist total cool und bestätigt meine eigene Beobachtung. Dass in Südhessen jedes zweite Kaff irgendein -heim ist und in Schwaben alles -ingen heißt.

Gibt es irgendein Kriterium für die Mindestgröße von Ortschaften oder sowas? Denn die doch nicht so häufige Endung -mannsdorf findet z.B. das schöne Kaff Eismannsdorf (Gemeinde Allersberg, Mittelfranken) nicht.

I agree, there’s definitely room for improvement.

It seems rare, that the whole train station was closed (probably not one of the bigger cities) and you must have stayed rather late, while christmas markets usually already open in the afternoon (or even earlier) and the sun sets early in their season, so there’s plenty of time to enjoy them while they are most beautiful (at night) and still make it home by train in a lot of places.

That being said, in more places than you’d expect, you won’t find convenient train connections after midnight, if at all. That makes using public transit almost useless for partying. I remember living in a somewhat rural area as a young partygoer and if I wanted to go to the city for partying, the choice was to either go home before the city folk even really started going, or keep partying until the clubs closed and then hang around with the punks at the railroad station to wait for the first train in the morning. Having a designated driver and going by car was the usual option.

Found them on metal archives and am listening through youtube.

I’m only a few seconds in, and I immediately get some early Helloween vibes from the guitar tone and playing in Queen of Desire, which is entirely a good thing. Rest of the sound so far is a lot more heavy than power metal, but it’s right up my alley for a Christmas afternoon.

Thank you very much for the mention!

Am German, can confirm. Parking garages do indeed exist here. Germany is very car centric, but fortunately not as bad as the US. Our cities do also have mostly working public infrastructure that makes it possible for lots of people to get to the Christmas market and drink several mugs of mulled wine without the need for overly huge parking garages.

I once accidentaly shorted the connector cables of a battery pack with 4 AA batteries. It very quickly generated enough heat to set the insulation of the cable on fire.

Don’t underestimate short circuits!

Lucky you!

You’re missing the point. The risk might not be very high on average, but if they don’t want to end up on the streets, regular people still have to kind of function inside the system somehow and continuously work for regular income. The will to survive is part of what drives them to do so.

Billionaires on the other hand, wouldn’t even have to lift a finger to be able to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. On the contrary, they’d have to try really hard to get rid of all that wealth. Major fuck-ps and intentional money burning excluded, the chance that they end up having trouble getting their basic needs fulfilled is miniscule. THAT is the difference.

I use, errr, I mean Steam Deck uses Arch, btw.

Vielleicht möchte der Mensch ja gerne mal jemandem einen lutschen und wartet nur darauf, dass irgendwer seine gar nicht so rhetorische Frage mit einem enthusiastischen “Ja, bitte!” beantwortet.
