I’m saying this for years, but a) it’s quite late (seems like a 1990s issue) and b) OpenNIC is a bit of a joke atm (but support it anyways)

ICANN never should’ve been a creature of US-NTIA, but of the UN. The US has no right to decide for the digital world how everyone communiticates. No one really should (apart from about stuff like CSAM).

I went to a German school way after the Wende and know US-American high-schools from various media, but I’m not too familiar with US-American curricula.

Sure. German history past the Second World War just didn’t seem too relevant for US-American high school for me.

People in the US know what a StaSi is?

In two court orders, the federal government told Google to turn over information on anyone who viewed multiple YouTube videos and livestreams. Privacy experts say the orders are unconstitutional.

Clickbait to the bin.

Practically only Germans can subscribe, as an address and a bank account is required for the ticket.

Re tickets: Many people in Germany use a kind of flatrate of 50€ per month for regional and local public transit, which either comes with a plastic card or an app. Politicians discouraged the card as ‘less modern’ and many people don’t even know about the card. Basically all train stations for interregional trains (InterCity Express (ICE), InterCity (IC) and EuroCity (EC)) have a way to aquire printed tickets.

Sustainability is a term with at least four columns: ecological, social, economical, political etc.

What do they mean by ‘Maintaining Sustainability’?

If AI stays, Mozilla would be better off to still have some irons in the fire.

This is just an example. There are apps like dating apps, government apps, ticket apps etc that require Google Play services. In my country there were plans for train tickets to be issued exclusively per app, this is a whole other political problem, but the point stands that Google Play services become increasingly important for regular bureaucracy and societal/social participation. We should of course fight against that, but microG and others often cannot keep up.

I know that I do not know enough about self-harm, but I’m going to say that self-harm is super common (e.g. smoking), glorified, but its effects are at the same time shamed, which makes it difficult for people already facing difficult social situations (e.g. Madison R. at LMG). I don’t condone self-harm. LMG’s workplace toxicity didn’t help.

Derailing is bad talking infrastructure, ADHD exists, TikTok sucks.

This sounds like the ramblings of someone lacking certain [“domineering intelligence”].

No, for real, I insulted you, because you did not show any motivation to understand how self-harm works and what Madison R. meant.

You have the empathy of a pebble.
