I’m guessing it was meant to be edgy and it fit from the meaning, but a lot of people suffered horribly under that.

Yes, it's probably meant to be “edgy”. I think some people need more history lessons. I removed the poster, did the edit federate?

But yeah, Germany really dropped the ball on going digital. I recently had an appointment at a government agency to discuss something, and the worker was complaining and apologizing that he could barely see me behind all of his new monitors and how he wished he had his paperwork back

I'm from the Netherlands and there was a massive hack recently which made them disconnect their networks from the internet so I can relate.

My favorite story has to be either that when the position of a Internet Minister was first proposed it was created under the jurisdiction of the Ministry for Transport since you also call it “Data highway” so naturally it was related to cars and highways

🤣 It's grouped with kingdom relations here for some reason.

Or the time the ministry slowed down the development of making Germany more digital and instead focus on investing into flying taxis

Ouch
