These results are just a drop in the bucket in relation to the grim state of German election results and overall societal discourse.

There's not much room for optimism right now. Very dark skies ahead and things may get much worse before they will become better.

In my workplace we worked tirelessly to get rid of all VMware VMs as fast as possible when new pricing became clear. Thousands migrated. What a huge fuckup by broadcom.

That so called regime is a travesty. Hope the Iranian people can some day be free.

Well they are also playing "Erika" which is a right wing dog whistle, though maybe not as uncommon in these circles, as outright Nazi salutes

Edit: Also curiously most people, myself included, never find themselves in danger of accidentally heil hitlering even when blackout drunk. Seems to become a more common occurrence in Saxony though.

How come people are willing to download and install pirated software though?

You can just remove "priated" from that statement and come to the same conclusions. Considering the amount of bugs, backdoors and 0-day exploits distributed via official software I sometimes wonder why people execute proprietary, closed source programs at all.

An no, "reputable" companies mean nothing, just look at Microsoft clowning around with their signing keys.

lol...

Das ZDF hat sich von einem Tweet des Satirikers Jan Böhmermann zu CDU-Chef Friedrich Merz abgegrenzt. »Das ZDF distanziert sich von der Äußerung Böhmermanns. Der Tweet ist eine private Äußerung von Jan Böhmermann, die in keinem Zusammenhang mit einer Produktion des ZDF steht«, teilte der Sender mit.

Diese Distanzierung hat natürlich die, nicht so unterschwellige, Konnotation, dass so eine Äußerung durch Böhmermann in einem offiziellen Format von den Zensoren des ZDF nicht gestattet worden wäre. Gut zu wissen, wie es mit Politsatire steht. Blos nicht die Gefühle irgendwelcher CDU "Politiker" slash Witzfiguren verletzen.

How dare people try to mod a game they bought? What a sad state of affairs, Diablo 2 had such awesome mods.

For context, LDAC is one of the few wireless audio codecs stamped Hi-Res by the Japan Audio Society and its encoder is open source since Android 8

LDAC is great, but simply stating that the encoder is "open source" is quite misleading (while technically correct). The codec is owned by Sony and heavily licensed. It's a savvy business move of Sony to make the encoder free to use though, so everyone else can support their standard while charging manufacturers who want to integrate it into their headphones.

If we want a really free and open high quality codec, we should push for opus support via bluetooth

Meh, there's plenty of naturally occurring things, that look 'artificial' to the human eye at first glance.

etc

Some metallic spheres after entry of a meteoroid into earths atmosphere are not enough unless you explain how they couldn't have formed naturally.

tl;dw: flasche ist okay

If system security is the most important criteria above everything else, switch to using BSD.

nice bait mate.

Wieder sechs Wochen verschwendet

Das traurigste an der ganzen Geschcihte von dir, ist ja, dass 6 Wochen garnicht mal so wenig sind. Würde man 6 Wochen lang intensiv Excel machen, dann kann ich mir vorstellen, dass man am Ende dann tatsächlich einigermaßen was kann.

Wenn man den ganzen Kurs aber auch mit "ich les mal kurz den ersten Absatz wikipedia zu jedem Thema" ersetzen könnte (und so scheint es mir), ist das ganze echt Zeitverschwendung.
