it’s guaranteed to be irreversible in 20 minutes

How is that a good thing? I want to be able to chargeback if I don’t get what I ordered.

Germany. And people would get mad if they didn’t get their one Cent change.

I was born in 92. My childhood (part of it, anyway) was in the 90s and I do remember the latter half of them fairly well. These things are never really clear cut, especially for people born around the “change” in generations.

Entweder

a) Alle in der Unionsführung sind blöd genug um zu übersehen wie der rassistische Scheiß nur der AfD hilft

oder

b) Die glauben den Scheiß selbst und es ist ihnen egal ob’s den Nazis hilft

Such dir einen der Gründe aus. Oder beide, es ist nämlich vermutlich ne Mischung.

Those reactors were ancient and, even without the nuclear power phaseout, they would’ve needed to be replaced. And contrary to popular belief, they were replaced with renewables, not fossil fuels. The choice was build wind turbines and solar panels and upgrade the grid or spend the same amount of money on building nuclear reactors that still rely on imported fuel that needs to be mined in some third world country in an extremely environmentally destructive way and that, regardless of design, produce nuclear waste.

Yes, the constant Muscovite sabre-rattling is why NATO countries are starting to take their militaries seriously again.

A truly shocking number of people don’t use any form of adblock. I doubt that driving off the adblock users will have a significant effect on viewership (and even if it does, why would Google care, it’s not like we’re making them money).

Der Digitalzwang wäre auch ohne Google/Apple, Tracking etc. ein Problem. Aus dem gleichen Grund aus dem ich, obwohl ich 99% meiner Transaktionen über mein Handy abwickele, immer eine physische Karte (und sogar Bargeld) dabei habe - Handys haben nur begrenzte Akkulaufzeit.

Legality and morality aren’t necessarily the same.

The entire point of the data harvesting is serving targeted ads.

And the problem with Starfield’s cities is that they didn’t do that. Since Oblivion the charm of Bethesda’s city design was that every NPC (who wasn’t a guard) had a “life” of sorts. They’d tend to their businesses, but they’d also go home and sleep at night, go to the tavern in the evening, visit friends, etc. None of that is happening in Starfield, and as a result the cities just feel dead.

Norway is not and never was socialist.

Edit: on reflection we are squabbling over definitions here. Seems rather pointless, and I didn’t mean to be as … aggressive as I probably came across. I’ve just seen more than my share of people on Lemmy genuinely advocating for USSR style systems, so I probably overreacted a bit.

Not pictured: systemic and brutal oppression of any hint of even unorganised opposition.

You Americans really need to take a look at the socialist countries you’re extolling, life in them was genuinely terrifying. Keep your nose down, saying anything remotely critical in front of the wrong person could completely ruin your life, and the lives of your friends and family as well.

So you think Israel should just accept that a genocidal terrorist organisation attacks its civilian population? Yes, Hamas uses civilians as meat shields but what are the Israelis supposed to do? Let themselves be slaughtered?

Jesus fucking Christ. Terrorist supporters all around here. I’m genuinely disgusted.
