I don't think the framing of this article as a question of principles over pragmatism is a good one. Sure, the Bolshevik deserve all the hate for their counter-revolutionary project, but most people prefer pragmatism over principles and it is often misled principles that cause the most harm.

The better distinction is means Vs. ends. It might take a bit longer to explain, but you can be plenty of pragmatic in your day to day activities without putting the ends over the means.

Of course it is a kind of principle to never let the ends justify the means, but it is a rather pragmatic one, as experience shows over and over that the means strongly influence if not determine the ends.

I wonder if their recent bid to take over Intel, is related.

The irony would be very thik as Qualcomm played a big role in killing Intel's 2010er efforts to enter the mobile sector.

Naja, so wie im Artikel beschrieben läuft es wieder auf Drangsalierung von eh schon am Existenzminimum lebenden Menschen hinaus, aber die grundsätzliche Idee mal zu schauen ob es wirklich Sinn macht durchschnittlich 599€ an Mietkosten quasi direkt irgendwelchen als Slumlords agierenden Immobilienkonzernen in den Rachen zu stecken finde ich schon nicht schlecht. Da werden ja schon länger die Mietforderungen nur noch danach bemessen was das Amt so maximal rausrückt.

Skuriler Artikel... eigentlich ein Trauerspiel das sich alles irgendwie um kommerzielle Aktivitäten drehen muss. Und die Klappbank vorm Einkaufsautomat ist ein "Ort der Begegnung"...

Silicone soaked fabric is sometimes used for tents, but I guess that wouldn't be biodegradable then.

Hast du da eine Quelle für das Google involviert ist? Würde ja eigendlich der Grundannahme wiedersprechen das man weniger von US Anbietern abhängig sein will.

That makes about as much sense as "anarcho-capitalism". Of course it's no fun to have your mental gymnastics questioned outside of Hexbear 😅

But ok, for the sake of argument, maybe a dysfunctional late-stage AES is a more suitable ground for building something in the shell of the old. At least people in these states know from first hand experience just how bad state control can get.

Edit: curious that you left out China in your list of AES.

Naja, mag ja sein das es in Einzelfällen etwas komplizierter ist, aber verglichen mit den sonstigen Einschränkungen wie Zugausfällen und Überfüllung ist "an diesem einzelnen Halt können wir im Wagen 1&2 leider nicht die Türen öffnen" ja wohl das geringere Problem.

Ich will jetzt nicht schlecht über Bahnmitarbeiter sprechen (der Fisch stinkt vor allem vom Kopf), aber Dienst streng nach Vorschrift ist da doch leider auch sehr weit verbreitet.

No, as only the instance admin that hosts the original account can indirectly associate a user handle with actual "personal data". An admin of a federated instance can not, as they do not have any "personal data" to correlate it with.

If a user themselves posts "personal data" publicly it is not covered by the GDPR (IANAL) and thus not subject to mandatory deletion requests. Of course deleting everything is often the easiest course of action, but this is not legally required.

It mostly only effects their own usage to be banned from another server, so why would an instance admin care?

Lemmy doesn't federate "personal data" to other servers. The GDPR has a strict definition what can be "personal data". The Wikipedia has a good overview of the relevant laws in various countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_data

Requesting the deletion of posts and comments that they agreed to be federated when signing up is purely voluntary but usually done as it is fairly easy to ban a user and delete their contributions.

tl;dr: anfangs ein paar Großspenden von deutschen Millionären und ab jetzt staatliche Parteifinanzierung.

I don't think these people are necessarily "toxic users", but rather just deluded ones. It's a bit like that saying about privilege... you only think about it when someone is threatening to take it away.

The asymmetry of effort between moderators and regular participants is what forces this hidden sense of entitlement into the open.

I think this is the root of the “mods are assholes” issue. It’s not that the mods are power tripping. It’s that they are placed in a role that will lead inevitably to toxic behavior, unless someone turns out to be a solid gold saint, which few of us are.

While part of it, I think the bigger issue is that the typical male participant has "main character syndrome", and when a mod doesn't want to spend a lot of time with them specifically because they have better things to do, these participants turn to whining about unfair treatment, when in reality it is just their overinflated sense of entitlement.

Damit Züge mit mehr Wagen fahren können, müssten auf einigen Bahnhöfen Bahnsteige verlängert werden, gab Michael Wedel vom Fahrgastverband zu bedenken. Die Erfahrung zeigt, dass solche Projekte in Deutschland bis zu zehn Jahre dauern können. Wie langwierig sie sein können, zeigt sich gerade auf der Linie RE1. Dort sollen nach dem Fahrplanwechsel Ende 2026 mehr achtteilige Züge verkehren. Damit sie an allen vorgesehenen Bahnhöfen halten können, muss DB InfraGo aber weitere Bahnsteige verlängern. Doch für Groß Kreutz, Götz und Briesen wird das voraussichtlich erst 2028 der Fall sein, hieß es bei der ODEG.

Das ist mal wieder ein Schildbürgerstreich... einfach im Sommer temporäre Verlängerungen aus Holz oder so bauen. Wenn man wollte ginge das problemlos.

The amount of 50.x Vs. 49.x votes lately is too damn high.

Ugh, what a shit article. It mentions exactly one model, a Dacia, that has been already on the market for some time, and a Renault prototype coming maybe in 2026. There is nothing like what the headline suggests as far as I can tell.

It is important to note that these are western European workers. For them the Chinese competition is largely irrellevant as their companies have been moving production to eastern Europe for a while now and they realize that their problem is structural.

All what the trariffs on Chinese EVs will do is conserve the status quo for European car makers a few more years, which doesn't help western European workers at all.

Social democrats do not code as “right” anywhere in the world.

Except in Portugal, where the conservative party calls themselves Social Democrats.
