"Die Anstalt" is goated, yes. On the more lighter side I like Pastewka, Sketch History (basically Germany's Monty Python), Die Familie Heinz Becker, Mitternachtsspitzen, Kalkofes Mattscheibe and Loriots as well as Gerhard Polts movies and series (very dated though sometimes timeless).

Don't know about Apple. My impression is that they take privacy pretty serious. Android though has since a few version ago a green dot in the notification area that indicates when the microphone is active. Also you can set the apps to always ask the user if they want grant the permission for microphone recording. There are also buttons to deactivate the microphone and camera completely.
So yeah it's easier then ever with current Android versions to not be spied on if the user invests 5 mins to set the microphone and camera permissions of all apps to always ask when used. Like you said other spying IOT devices and data retention (at least for traffic data) at the provider level pose a much greater risk for surveillance.
In recent years, genetic studies have demonstrated that, at least paternally, the various Jewish ethnic groups and the Palestinians are related to each other. Genetic studies have shown that Jews and Palestinians are closer to each other than the different Jewish groups are to their respective host countries. At the haplogroup level, defined by the binary polymorphisms only, the Y chromosome distribution in Arabs and Jews was similar but not identical.

Not to mismatch with the people living in modern Israel which are often Western or East Europe descendants.
Just watched the first video. It's 6 years old but the evidence presented seemed undoubtedly like Instagram and FB were listening to conversations and aggregating the info together with geolocation and surfing behaviour. The insta CEO tried to deflect it with insinuating that the user must have searched for specific keywords previously but the journalists specifically tested it with words in conversations they never exposed their phones to before. 20 mins later they got AD's on insta.
That's a blatant overgeneralisation. The biggest mass protests in recent decades were against the AfD. Especially after their secret Wannsee Conference 2.0 in November 2023 (which sadly was ruled against the investigative collective Correctiv to be libel in favour of the AfD by a court 2 days ago), but also in the recent 2 years after multiple landslide wins of them in elections.
Yes, a concerningly huge amount of people fall for the propaganda of their charismatic mouthpieces like Alice Weidel, overwhelmingly in the east Germany ex-GDR federal states where neonazism is brooding since the 90s and the youth was successfully indoctrinated by their parents generations and the political education regarding our dark past was way weaker then in the West. Couple that with a perceived (and often actual) economical disadvantage of east Germany and the AfD's refined propaganda on TikTok and Facebook and you got this perfect storm.
Sadly in south Germany they got more strong over the years too, especially during Corona where the strategy was to fabricate a Corona and vaccination dictatorship, which fell on fertile ground with the boomers who more and more get duped by generative AI and tailored algorithms and CDU figureheads (who a lot of the boomers trust, because of their alleged economic competence), pondering a possible cooperation with the AfD.
But overall I think (hope) for many folks here the genocide in Gaza was an eye opener and they did a bit of research about Israel's past and are not not in favour unconditional support anymore. Guys like Smotrich or Ben-Gvir, the settler violence, the Nakba etc. aren't unknowns anymore. And we can very well distinguish between Jewish people and Zionism. The ones who seem to not be able to do that are some politicians and organisations who allege protesters of antisemitism and supress those violently. Just like in the UK and the US.
AFAIK Russia doesn't need them anymore from Iran as they got multiple production facilities for Shaheds themselves and upgraded them in the meantime. And even if they were selling them to Putler, that is definitely not happening right now.
“When Iran gets into the news, especially with anything to do with war,” says religious historian Diana Butler Bass, “it’s a prophetic dog whistle to evangelicals.”
Last year a lot of those crazies proclaimed via social media, that the rapture was imminent and prepared themselves by undressing, writing last messages to the sinners who'll be left behind or they even sold their homes. Can't remember but it could actually have been when the 12 days war with Iran happened.
This rapture thing already should've happened a few times, just like with every end times prophecy. The fact the orange menace is in bed with the ultraorthodox christian movements (Dominionists, Seven Mountain Mandate) is well know since his first presidency. Same with their believes about the end-times. That he seems more like the anti christ is no problem for them as they believe, as stated in the article, that god will choose a flawed vessel for the mission.
Hatte immer Motos (meistens mit LineageOS) bevor ich mir jetzt ein refurbished Pixel 6 gegönnt hab und mit GrapheneOS nicht glücklicher sein könnte. Ist schon befreiend das immer im Hintergrund mitschwingende Gefühl dauerhaft von Google getrackt zu werden los zu sein.
Was ich an den Motorola immer super fand ist dass sie das Android ohne viel bloat ausliefern und das gute Preisleistungsverhältnis. Hatte zwischendurch zwei Xiaomis von denen ich eins weitergegeben hab und das andere direkt wieder umgetauscht habe. Beide kamen mit extrem viel bloat. Vorinstallierte Meta apps und irgendwelche games.
Hatte eigentlich vor letzteres mit Lineage zu betreiben aber nachdem ich rausgefunden hatte, dass der bootloader unlock erstens unnötig schwer ist und zweitens mit irreversiblen Einschränkungen einhergehen kann nämlich, dass Widevine kann nach erneutem relock nicht auf L1 zurückgesetzt werden könnte, was dazu führt, dass DRM geschützte Inhalte nur noch in SD angezeigt werden. Pixel bootloader können dagegen sehr einfach unlocked und wieder rückstandsfrei in den Originalzustand versetzt werden. Die GrapheneOS Installation war denkbar einfach.
Denke Motorola ist eine gute Wahl von den GrapheneOS Machern.
Using Google play services free GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6 (so swipe even works with reduced screen estate) with the FUTO keyboard and this paragraph was completely written with its swipe feature. The only problematic words were GraphenOS and swipe.
Writing this by tapping again as I'm actually faster that way. But from what I can say, swiping works really good. I appreciate the authors effort but I won't pull in some Google library again (especially related to monitoring keyboard input) via a hackish way.
I'm completely satisfied with FUTO as an all-in-one solution already. The voice input using local models works especially good. I'm not 100% sure but I could swear the devs changed the key sizes in one of the current updates. They're perfectly sized now. The one thing I miss is a TAB key for autocompletition, when I'm logged in on a SSH terminal. But otherwise it's feature complete for me.
I remember those from two decades ago from a shopping channel. In Europe btw. So this has to be even longer around in the US or wherever it was invented. We got more shopping channels on public satellite TV in the meantime. This will probably be advertised around here too, still to these days.
Were (are, if you're still using it) you pleased with the results of the flowbee? Did it take you long to get a feel for it? The fact that it's collecting all the hair is a big selling point.
I'm cutting my hair with an electric shaver and a pair of good scissors for years now and probably saved thousands off euros. I don't think I'll switch to flowbee as I can by now not only cut my own but others hair too as I tried in lockdown when especially practicing barbers were a rare sight and only let you in their chair after telling the secret passphrase.
Just want to know if I can commend that product to beginners when the next pandemic rolls around.
