I think we might have had something like that community when we were all hanging around in bulletin boards something like... 15 to 20 years ago. I remember that I had a very dark time and some moderator (I was one, too) managed to find out

Another anecdotal data point: I loved Facebook around 2010-2015. I was in university, had lots of "friends" that I had met in person, was a user of the groups, events, everything. It was great to stay in touch with old and new peo

Yeah, I was bored and spend too much time on LinkedIn. Now all they can show me is events and promotions from three weeks ago. Not sure I should interact with that content anymore.

1) The 9 € ticket wasn't about CO2 reduction, it was about providing cheap(er) public transportation for the masses. 2) Even 10 billion is not really much money for a state like Germany. If the 9 € ticket, or a successor, would be roll

Which ways? Dumping them in some salt mines as we have done for the last 50 years? There is not a single "super-safe" and "cheap" way for Germany.

What exactly? That three nuclear power plants are being shut down by the end of the year? Yes, that's a fact.

by martin_a 4y ago
Just so much is fucked up about that whole situation. 1. Did nobody think about that nuclear plants can't be switched on and off like nothing? 2. They want them in standby because they fear that north-south energy transport could be ov

This is wrong on many levels. Most people don't need all that complexity and configuration options, especially if you just want it to work. Asset minification can be done locally, besides the ominous gatekeepers don't give a fuck.

Yes, totally. I was expecting to find a solid list about "hand over accounts" or "change mail address" but it was all about being able to see a dentist if necessary.
