I’ve been trying to get into Gemini for a while now. There site aggregators and everything, but I’ve yet to find something personally engaging.

Well, they have to pay licensing fees for the media, pay crazy money for the IT infrastructure, which they have no matter how many downloads.

It’s so depressing. Recently there was a scandal that some members of the AfD met to discuss forced deportation of German of foreign descent. 1939 Nazi-level stuff.

Many demonstrations followed and the quiet majority thought that was the end of it. But all those followers just lapped up that remigration-cool-aid like it was nothing. A mass stabbing incident shortly before the vote didn’t help either.

And everyone knows that they’re Nazis being funded by Russia and nobody cares. The public with half a brain is teetering between not taking them seriously and being paralyzed by shock.

Got it, so I should be safe if I print it in PETG. Thanks!

So I got a crazy idea - hear me out - how about we just abolish copyright completely, for everyone?

I mean, it works in China pretty well.

AFAIK chat contents are stored unencrypted on the server.

I gave into the hype and tried out kagi. Have to admit, it really is astonishing how much of the internet you miss out on using Bing or google.

If it’s really worth the amount of money they ask is a different question, but at the moment there isn’t an alternative equivalent.

Just like with USB-C, which the EU regulated and now the iPad and IPhone have.

Ich bin zwiegespalten was die Bahn betrifft.

Auch in anderen Ländern ist der Frachtverkehr defizitär und wird staatlich unterstützt. Aber bei uns wird erwartet dass die Bahn wirtschaftlich handelt (ist ja schließlich eine AG) und dass obwohl die Infrastruktur jahrzehntelang auf Verschleiß gefahren wurde. Der Kostendruck kommt von allen Seiten.

Aber es ist schon so, dass die Bahn enormen Reformbedarf hat. Veraltete Prozesse, viel Papier, viel interne Bürokratie. Richtig agil ist das ganze nicht. Vielleicht hilft so ein Schock?
