  • No. He is bad and he should feel bad. He was sad because his evil plans didn't work out the way he had hoped. He is alone because he abuses the people around him because he considers himself a superior being for whom others are just play things.

    His backstory of abuse goes a way to explain why he is the way he is, but it does not excuse it.

  • Kultur, Sport und Gemeinschaft extrem in der DDR gefördert wurden.

    Nur konforme Kultur und Kunst wurde gefördert. Jedes Zeichen von Nonkonformität wurde hart gedeckelt. Wer Kunst benutzt hat um die Partei oder den Staat zu kritisieren ist dafür in den Knast gekommen und wurde das Ziel von Zersetzungsmaßnahmen durch die Staatssicherheit.

    Und die Sportförderung kam natürlich auch mit politischen Zwängen und einem systematischen Dopingregime, für das der Staat bis heute Opfern (ehemaligen Athleten) Entschädigungen zahlt.

    Gemeinschaftsförderung ist auch so ne Sache. Wer nicht bei den Pionieren mitgemacht hat, durfte halt nicht studieren. Unabhängige (also nichtstaatliche) Gewerkschaften zu Gründen war verboten. Und die Existenz der Stasi deren bekanntes Ziel es war, "asoziale Elemente" (Leute die über Spitzbart, Bauch und Brille gelacht haben) zu finden und zu entfernen und die dafür massenweise Spitzel in der Bevölkerung benutzten war sicherlich auch nicht förderlich für ein nachbarschaftlichen Vertrauensverhältnis.

  • Another reason to use Logitech mice: ease of repair. Apart from skates covering the screws on the underside, Logitech does not use glue to keep it's mice together. And due to their popularity, replacement parts (including the battery btw) are widely available even for older models.

  • What I would like instead is a browser that treats tabs more like virtual machines that you can roll back, suspend to disk and resume. Little package of data that get frozen in time and are externally searchable.

    Maybe look at ArchiveBox. IIRC it has pretty much everything you ask for including an import from your browser history and bookmarks.

  • I'm not going to tell you that you're managing your information wrong. I would physically die if I had ever more than 20 tabs (my ADHD couldn't handle it).

    But I think you might be using the wrong tool. A browser (like Firefox) is not really designed as an information manager. It's primary purpose is navigating and visualizing web pages. So when you talk about "a few megabytes of text and images" thats not what your browser sees. Your browser handles more than just the text and images. It also handles fetching and prefetching, a browser history for every tab, a JS context and much much more.

    What you want is some kind of personalized archiving system that processes websites into machine processable (ie searchable) structures. Firefox is not that. Maybe data hoarder communities will have the answers you seek.

  • Yes. But the state still has to prove that what you did was a) a Nazi thing and b) that you either knew or should have known it was so.

    So if you show the Hitler salute, you'll be arrested and fined. If you give a speech in which you suggest that immigrants need to learn "the liberating power of work" (referencing the Motto of Auschwitz "Arbeit macht Frei" "Work makes Free") that is totally fine.

  • I don't think that is an accurate reading of what he is expressing. Crate (his company) is a smallish indie studio that makes high quality games (in my opinion) and supports them long term with both paid DLCs and free updates.

    He made that statement when talking about Embracer Group that was looking to buy Crate. When he told them "we are currently working on an RTS" they said "Why don't you make something multi platform and a different genre instead?" (i.e. a cashgrab) to which his reply was "you can't buy my company, fuck off".

    RTS are inherently limited to PC. RTS are not popular as eSports anymore. His company is making one not because they want a short term profit, but because he thinks they could make a great one for a niche target group that will stay loyal for a long time (e.g. their 2016 game Grim Dawn just got a massive free content update and a new story DLC in February this year).

  • The first randomized, controlled clinical study to attempt to study this “reversal” protocol’s effectiveness came to an abrupt stop in 2019, after three participants landed in the hospital hemorrhaging blood.

    The general horrificness of this aside. How do you recruit participants for a study like this? "Do you want to be pregnant but don't mind having an abortion? Would you like an abortion but don't mind if you actually get it reversed?"

  • There is also another aspect:

    While many European empires colonized and oppressed the local populations brutally, eradication was never the point. The point was always extraction of wealth.

    With the Nazis there was not even a pretense of working towards any goal other than complete annihilation. The Nazis engineered death according to modern, industrial principles. They did not just dehumanize their victims by declaring their lives worthless. They calculated a value of exactly what it was worth to extinguish a jewish/handicapped/lgbtq/communist/sinti/roma/non-white life and then went about spending that money as efficiently as possible.

    In other genocides you will see wanton bombings, mobs raging through the streets, sieges denying food and resources to areas. But you will not see reports from bureaucrats complaining that shipping of this load of victims to that camp was inefficient and they should have been sent to a different camp to save costs instead.

    Israel is not the Nazis. Still bad though.

  • "We totally would have saved the climate if you had only paid us enough." Bitch, please.

    The trillions the oil industry has earned over the years were not enough?
    You had enough money, you had the knowledge of the problem and what you could do to fix it and you had enough time to change your strategy from lieing and denying.

    The only thing you didn't have was the will to give up a single cent to help clean up the damage you have done.

    Imagine what could have been done with half of the 52 trillion the oil and gas industry earned in the last 50 years (that's without coal, even). Imagine how far we could have developed renewable energy sources. What we could have achieved with carbon capture. What could be done today if the fossil industries propaganda hadn't turned climate change into a question of political opinions.

    Fuck that guy. He and his ilk created this mess and they got fat of it. He doesn't get to shift blame.
