@m0urs weil wenn andere mehr geld kriegen wollen das eine frechheit ist in den augen des deutschen. das ist schon länger so sichtbar. egal ob jetzt angestellte streiken oder hartz4 empfänger mehr wollen oder bauern ein paar cent mehr für die milch wollen.

irgendwo hab ich mal einen spruch gelesen/gehört, welcher ungefähr "zum deutschsein gehört ein bisschen leiden dazu" war. wenn jemand weniger leiden will, ist das frech und gehört sich so nicht. erst recht nicht wenn es gegen die obrigkeit geht, da hat man als guter untertan still zu halten.

ich glaube, so richtig ist deutschland nie in der demokratie angekommen oder will es vielleicht auch gar nicht. ist viel einfacher wenn man nicht selbst verantwortlich ist. selbst unsere demokratieform ist auf so wenig mitwirkung wie möglich ausgerichtet. alle paar jahre irgendwen wählen der dann irgendwas machen kann. bei direkter demokratie droht ja sofort der faschismus, oder viel schlimmer: man müsste selbst bestimmen!

@dewomser bei dem machts aber auch sinn! wir können halt nur halbelektrische suvs und sowas :)

@niclas @freemo @Pat i have played with embedded stuff (msp430) in the past, most of that was using C though. i've also built a small toy processor during a course in university and it was really fun. i'd really love to do embedded stuff, it's just very hard to get embedded jobs here. everyone just wants boring shitty webapps here :)

i think knowing assembler and how machines work in general is very important knowledge for every programmer, it enables you to do much better reasoning about algorithmic tradeoffs. even when doing JS etc. those languages run on simulations of hardware after all :)

@thor also drenching bread in oil or fat helps me, like frying toast instead of dry toasting it. i can't explain that though :)

@thor if you have a real bakery somewhere, try that. they might use more classic strains (vs. ultra high yield) of wheat which produce less of some substances . the dough has more time to raise etc. too. seems to have an influence to how well some people (like me ;) can process it. also tastes much better!

@dhfir at least we have "die partei" now, who have done great things with only one person in the EU parliament :) @thor

@thor i think we will see much gridlocking here. nobody has a clear majority, everyone thinks he's right :)

@thor the discussions really are.. disappointing? you have the (formerly) big parties which have nearly the same talking points and promises they've had for ages, the greens doing more gender politics than green politics most of the time, liberals who are rich people who sometimes say liberal things, the leftists who are internally split as always and the far right who is also interally split and largely consists of nutjobs.

@thor yeah, i get the reasons but not the conclusion of "let's just try this new thing out". i'm rather risk averse if it comes to these things and think it might be sensible to look at who is at risk and who isn't.

i haven't verified it, but hospital personnel isn't even tested daily from what i've read. that would be the fucking first thing i'd do.

@thor the polls show that christian-democrats, social-democrats and greens are in a head-to-head race, all around 20% iirc. it's going to be interesting, but in the end they are roughly the same parties now (imho) with slight variations to the left or right.

@thor it really feels that way! no reasonable discussions, be in in the parliament or in public about any "hot" topic like vaccinations, refugees, etc. without instantly getting put into a corner. maybe my perception is askew and i'm just too sensitive, but without good discussions problems won't get solved for real.

@thor no, germany. it might be not as bad as america but it's really getting to me. i just want to talk normally about this, but that's hard when the narrative is "you kill old people and give kids long covid if you aren't vaccinated". even if i'm at home _nearly all the fucking time_ (have to get food) and science (not experts) says that that's probably as fine.

@thor it's like the conclusion of wargames 🎉

really, i don't want the plague short term and don't want nasty surprises from a vaccine either. that both sides are completely crazy in this doesn't help.

imagine you are authoring a thread in the fediverse, of all places, arguing for censorship by instance admins. the rationale is that because _some_ people decide to take too much of a veterinary medication it's a stupid idea to think that discussing taking said medication isn't bad in itself.
