Not great, not terrible.

unattended updates / transactional-update are awesome.

Stuff has been running for years, and it’s still up to date.

Ban all (social) media that offers paid political advertisement at decix / BGP level 4 months prior to elections. Likely unpopular due to the high number of media addicts in society, but I bet it would be vastly effective.

Probably would work to outlaw paid political advertisement on all channels with every violation doubling the fine, but this is not as reliable as the former, because of the “culture war” angle. Plus, it would get drawn out in court until after the election, so not a good solution.

Exactly what one would expect from a weird creep. Seems likely.

Ah yes, a fellow quadlet enjoyer. Cheers!

Did

$ /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/podman-system-generator --user --dryrun

Also prove to be really valuable, too?

When trying to search for that emoji, I typed usa and it showed only the world/earth emoji… weird.

Look at me ✌️👀 … 🌍 are the 🇺🇲 now.

Alrighty then, every MB of EU-user-generated data transferred to servers of US digital services now incurs a fee of 0.1€.

If you don’t pay, or during ongoing proceedings, the packets are not forwarded to the IP range of that service.

I bet that would resolve all problems very quickly.

Alright, might have to do some deeper investigation for why it’s messing up. Anyhow glad to hear it does work in principle and it may be something I’m doing - thanks!

Was trying this, but I’ve had issues with the app not properly synchronizing with the server. Does that work for you and if so, what’s your setup?

Was supposed to replace “Bring” and due to the issues, currently using grocy, where sync works, but is otherwise very tedious to manage inventory.

Make political advertisement / political messaging illegal on entertainment platforms. There’s precedent for highly regulated TV advertisements, why is there such a broad exception for unregulated manipulative online advertising? Why is cigarette, religious, drug advertising forbidden but political lies and agendas allowed, endorsed even? Fines need to be 50% of monthly worldwide profit and increase by 5% for each month of noncompliance.

This simple legislation would instantly solve a lot of current issues with what’s wrong and protect free, democratic nations.

Thanks for the insight. Really goes to show, corruption always crashes and burns in the mid term. Looking forward to seeing those who engage(d) in corruption get what’s coming to them 🤗

It’s very subtle, and official travel recommendations have been updated to reflect the possibility of trouble when your passport details are not perceived as consistent. The public services move slowly, but anyone I know that this would apply to has long understood the language and has opted for avoiding travel to the states. It’s not like your life is ruined by not seeing Orlando ¯\(ツ)/¯

I feel this is a lack oft creativity. Protests need to be peaceful, but disruptive. In a car based society, protest by car? If 5,000,000 cars “meet up” in any given metropolitan area, that areas productivity goes to zero, those in power won’t even have any recourse, there aren’t enough police/towtrucks to counter this, and if so it would take days or weeks. Only coordinated driving and parking/traffic jam required.

Effective protest should instill fear in those in power - the message is, with the sheer number of people right outside your building, could easily crush you if they so choose. A few guards can not offer protection in this case. The idea is, with this realization, that violence is not a good escalation, as in the end the powerful few will never come out on top.

This only works if the powerful few actually believe the masses will go as far as needed to effect the demanded change.

From outside, it appears the US protests favor comfort over conflict, thus are viewed as lacking credibility and therefore, pose no danger to the power class. As long as the individual prioritizes their selves before acting as a collective, including taking the risk of collective punishment, the protest remains unbelievable, therefore ineffective and easily ignored.

PSA: election season has begun in Germany. The tone in the comments, and also fully fabricated “news stories” (not meaning this one), have increased dramatically.

The influence campaign has begun. Stay critical people.
