  • Well, we had politicians making dozens of millions through organizing deals for medical masks during the pandemic that were billions too expensive.

    In ome case the court ruled that this is legal as the corruption laws only cover if the politician is using the power of his mandate, not the power of the contacts he has through his mandate. The court wrote into the decision though that it is unfathomable, why the law does not criminalize such corruption. It is extremy rare that a court would make a suggestion as to what the law should say.

    The former longest “serving” mep and minister in multiple ministries including thr ministry of finance Wolfgang Schäuble was involved in a scandal in the 90s where he transported literal suit cases full of cash for an unknown donor to his party.

    Germany is a banana republic that has to import its bananas overseas.



  • I have the same worries in engineering. We had a presentation of some AI “consultancy” firm that was telling us that now is the time to stop hesitating and start doing with LLMs and gave some examples of companies “they” found in regards to our industry. When i asked, if they know any company that is willing to take the legal risks if their designs turn out hazardous, there was the sound of crickets. And just with that, LLMs are completely useless for any design tasks. If i still have to check the design to be in adherence with all relevant laws, norms and other standards, i might just do the design myself.

    That is not to say, that there wouldn’t be useful tools that fall into what is called “AI” these days. But these tools are designed for specific purposes, by people who do understand the specific purpose and its caveats.

    Well Myanmar is run by a military dictatorship that murders, disappears and tortures civillians, and has an ongoing public resistance against it since a few years.

    When Iran was ruled by the Shah Israel were best buddies and help arm and train his army and intelligence. Guess what they did: murder, disappear and torture tens of thousands of civillians.

    When South Africa was still an Apartheid state, Israel was also good friends with them. Guess what they did…



  • My uncle. Very smart very neuronal. He knows the entire Internet, can you imagine? the entire internet. Like the mails of Crooked Hillary Clinton, that crook. You know what stands in that Mails? my uncle knows. He makes the best code. The most beautiful code. No one has ever seen code like it, but for him, he’s a genius, like i am, i have inherited all his genius genes. It is very easy. He makes the best code. Sometimes he calls me and asks me: you are even smarter than i am. Can you look at my code?







  • The fediverse is much more than just lemmy. That being said i also disagree for lemmy. Drama between mods and communities was a regular thing on reddit. Still reddit managed to grow quite big before the bots took over. And companies are in no way more accountable to the users. Look at what happened with twitter under Musk. The only realistic choice you have as a normal user is to leave. And in the fediverse leaving a shitty instance still allows you to connect with all the other content from a different instance.


  • Its 16 years ago and the series continued. Last year my wife got all games and played them because she remembered playing the first one back then.

    I don’t think it is “culturally forgotten”. Also as the amount of media increases it becomes more difficult to define a “mainstream” that everyone remembers as defining. This has happened to literary eras like a hundred years ago already. Now with music you dont have just MTV, the local radio station and maybe the one internet forum where all the fans of one genre gravitated to. So it is more difficult to be exposed to other people who didn’t forget
