Ah scheiße, hier gehen wir wieder.

The only one apparently eager to implement this is the dylanmtaylor Github user, who has created PR's for systemd, archinstall, and Ubuntu. Maybe more.

But hasn't taken effect yet:

Germany has effectivly the same law

I haven't heard anything about that and a search doesn't turn anything up either. Can you give any details on what you mean specifically?

Whats up with all the AI videos?

Infowar in full swing from all sides. At this point people are dead when their own side admits they are. Just like I didn't believe Khamenei was dead until Iran said so, I won't believe Bubi is dead until Israel says so.

Well the German Democratic Republic is unique among the former USSR countries in that it was unified with the Federal Republic of Germany. The latter already had a strong focus on privacy laws resulting from the Nazi time (meaning there was strong mistrust towards the state, but Nazis trying to hide in plain sight was obviously also relevant). But when the sheer amount of information the communist intelligence services were storing on their citizens became known after reunification this pre-existing privacy bias was put into overdrive, it confirmed all the worst fears west Germans already had about the state becoming too powerful.

Der Merz hat lächelnd daneben gesessen als Trump offen die Souveränität Spaniens in Frage gestellt hat, indem er sagte die USA können einfach Spanische Flughäfen benutzen wann und wie sie wollen, egal ob Spanien zustimmt. Glaube nicht das Merkel das kommentarlos hätte stehen lassen. Scholz schon eher, aber glaub auch nicht.

I believe the cited Kurdish groups immediately disclaimed this. Also this is over 4 days old. There was no ground invasion.

Anfangsverdachts der „üblen Nachrede und Verleumdung gegen Personen des politischen Lebens“

Klingt wie ein unvollständiges Zitat des §188 StGB "Gegen Personen des politischen Lebens gerichtete Beleidigung, üble Nachrede und Verleumdung". Die zielen also wahrscheinlich auf die Beleidigung, aber selbst wenn nicht, wie sie nachweisen wollen das "die Tat geeignet [ist], sein [Merz] öffentliches Wirken erheblich zu erschweren" bleibt sowieso fraglich. Da überhaupt auch nur einen Anfangsverdacht zu behaupten ist halt schon... gewagt.

Some Fediverse frontends don't set the self-upvote by default (kbin for example), but since lemmings.world is a Lemmy instance it was probably removed by the author (maybe accidentally double-click on posting?).

Trump launched this war to have a pretense to give money to the weapons industry

Lol, like any US president needs justification for that ever. I mean it's a geopolitical event and the military-industrial complex certainly is one of the major lobby groups pushing for this (or any) confrontation, not disputing that.

But the immediate reason for Trump seems to be the (seemingly working) distraction from the escalating Epstein scandal. He already learned that war and the resulting market volatility is a great way to "flood the zone with shit" when he attacked Iran last year, and that being his primary objective also neatly accounts for the apparent lack of an exit strategy and clearly defined war goals.

Again, not saying it's the only reason why this war is happening in general, but probably the main one to Trump anyway. Which Warren seems to be confirming with her testimony here, saying there is simply no coherent reason presented for it even under secrecy.
