While this may be true, it is just a short-term solution because the EU will just change the law again if it annoys too much. It would be far more easy for all of us to not only follow the letter of the law but also its spirit. But this wou

funnily, I encountered an inspection in a tram where they did check for masks, and masks only. They wrote up personal details of the ones who did not have masks on them. But this was the only time since the whole thing began and it was th

I see corrections like this more often, but admittedly only if it's quality journalism. First thing that comes to my mind is a german tech news site, golem.de .

Maybe I'm an outlier but the e-mail-adress I use for online payments or shops for over 10 years now has not been pwned. Maybe because I don't use this email for other sites where no money is involved or for social media. But I thi

maybe strict but arcane? It's pretty much the same "law" that apple put facebook under: Make personalization of ads optional and turn it off by default or at least make it equally easy to opt out and opt in (=forced choice).

nuclear energy generation is "cheap"? Are you sure? According to e.g. [1], it's the most expensive power source and getting more expensive each year. It's probably "cheap" due to all the subsidies and the condi

They probably do not measure "efficiency" but "power usage" or "cost". Those go up as you would expect. I also have not really heard a l/100km value called an "efficiency" metric in german. It&#x

To be precise, the value of money sinks. The value of bread to everyone involved stays the same. Said differently: the price of everything rises, not the value. And another nitpick: by definition the average/median price rises, not
