Certainly the dominating topic these days in certain parts of the net. My personal pro and con for this theory: pro: The timings are conspicuous. This absence right now as well as that during an earlier known event (the chans found that). A

hate itself is real - a word that has a negative connotation, but was never illegal in itself. You could always hate a person or a football club. That word was taken, rebranded to include among other things everything critical of government

You can do many things: You can pass those laws, put people in jail, make up the term "hate speech" and condemn everyone who does that. But you can not say that we have internet (or any other) freedom in Germany. There is some nic

That's the examples they put in press releases. Just for a sanity check on what tiny harmless things are punished by those laws: https://www.vice.com/de/article/8xe7jg/kuchen-tv-volksverhet... A Youtuber

Well what do you expect ends up on such an alternative site. Certainly not pop music. Recommendations don't matter, content does.

This is the main concern I think. It's what's always being brought up with OLEDs.

German public does absolutely not want her to stay. Not by a long stretch.

In addition to this the Government spent ~44 million (2019) in print advertising themselves. This comes just a few weeks after a price increase of the mandatory fee for state TV. And just one day before they passed the hate speech bill.

Really the only sane way of parsing hn is hckrnews.com. That way you can not only quickly go past threads you don't like but also see those popular threads which were killed or punished on the HN frontpage.

I did not mean speak for the entirety of HN, nor implied that in any conceivable way.

This article is the same handwaving anti-science hogwash routinely found in philosophy departments that talk about quantum mechanics. They twist words and force connections where there are none because they want to talk about things they do

Wait, you were the one bringing that up. And no, no one would say that because that's also illegal now in Germany (you see a pattern).

A politicians who told Germans to leave their country was killed. That was taken as a welcome opportunity to turn things to 11. There is now another new law "zur Bekämpfung des Rechtsextremismus und der Hasskriminalität". > &qu

Very soon even Facebook likes will be illegal in Germany if it's the "wrong" ones by the way. That law passed a week ago or two.

Yeah the FF bar completion is lightyears ahead of chromes. Chrome massively favors searches over history matches. I revisit every couple of months but it always is comically unusable for me. To the point where I visit only about 3 sites wit

I dread the day when they actually go for 4chan. While it's being heavily attacked especially in recent weeks, it's still by far the bigest place to get neutral information and discussion.
