The post in February triggered a tidal wave of reaction from parents similarly gripped by anxiety about providing their children with a device they fear will open them up to predators, online bullying, social pressure and harmful content.

Can you imagine having to teach your kids about these risks, help them to deal with them and prepare them for adulthood?

That would be so much work.

Just what we needed, a new tool for the 0.1% to ruin this planet for everyone even faster.

you also don’t hear about it as much because people tend to bike more in warm weather so it’s more likely for you to go long stretches of time without biking when it’s getting colder.

Off topic, but I think it’s funny how cycling is viewed in different parts of the world. You look at it as a hobby that is naturally done less in the winter. For me it’s just a way to get to work and I still have to work when it’s cold, so obviously I’m still cycling just as much. And this is true for a lot of people, the bike rack at my job is almost as full in the winter as it is in the summer.

This feels like something that would be illegal in the EU. I have no idea if it actually is.

There are a lot of Boeing 787 in the air at any time. You can go to flightradar24.com, click the filter icon at the bottom, add new filter, then aircraft and as ICAO code you just enter B78* and it will show you only this aircraft type.

The risk for an incident with any 787 at any time in the next few years may be higher that it should be. But the risk for one individual plane on one single flight is absolutely negligible. You’re more in danger on your way to the airport probably.

The attack has benefitted both sides in a very cynical way. Netanyahu’s reaction has made Israel much more isolated internationally and if any Palestinians make it through all this, they will be even more likely to support a violent and extremist organization like Hamas.

It’s a win-win for Netanyahu and Hamas and a huge lose-lose for both Israelis and Palestinians.

Nylon can be washed in the dishwasher, but in my experience it does degrade a bit over time. Silicone on the other hand tends to absorb any smell or taste, including dish washing detergent.

I think this is perfect. Make it legal but non-commercial. It should not be allowed to make a profit off of other people’s addiction and there shouldn’t be financial incentives to get people addicted as quickly as possible.

I wish they would do the same for alcohol, tobacco, gambling, etc.

I really like this. Yes, it should be everyone’s choice to consume it or not. But there really shouldn’t be commercial incentives to get people addicted and to get rich from their addiction.

Imgine the same rules applying to alcohol and tobacco… (yes you can absolutely grow tobacco in Germany).

I went with a Sony 1V. It processes the images a lot more like a regular camera, so more natural but also less ‘flashy’ by default. If you take a boring picture, it’s going to look boring. But I just like that high-contrast, natural colors, ‘real camera’ look so much better than the always-on-hdr, artificial, tacky look of many modern smartphone cameras.

Amazing hardware, but I was really disappointed with the way the 13 pro processed pictures. I ultimately went with a completely different brand after being really hyped for the 1" sensor. The 13 ultra came with some minor improvements, at least that was my impression, but still wouldn’t have been an option for me. I’m really interested in what they’re doing with this newest iteration.

Germany. One of the oldest populations in the world. Results for the most recent PISA study were terrible. There’s a huge shift to the political right, where even the so called social democrats call for more restrictive immigration policy, while the scientific consensus is that we urgently need mass immigration now to build a workforce that can keep the economy afloat.

Our resource used to be people, but we’re in the process of completely fucking that up. Education going downhill quickly, rapidly aging population paired with a massive push against immigration, the most important jobs having some of the worst pay and working conditions…

We’re in a race to the bottom. Japan mas have overtaken us, but we’re folfowing closely behind.

Because the protections that are in place for a very good reason, are not being implemented by those in power. I don’t know why.

No need to break the law, it’s in the German constitution:

Article 20 […] (4) All Germans shall have the right to resist any person seeking to abolish this constitutional order if no other remedy is available.

And you want to give the state the power to get rid of any group it deems undesirable?

The state already has the power to get rid of any group that seeks to destabilize our democratic system. This is a very central part of our constitution (see article 9, 18, 20 or 21). It’s basically a way to deal with the paradox of tolerance, if you’re not familiar with that concept here’s the wikipedia definition:

The paradox of tolerance states that if a society’s practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them.

Ultimately, it is within the law to personally get rid of a group that wants to destroy our free and democratic system:

Article 20 […] (4) All Germans shall have the right to resist any person seeking to abolish this constitutional order if no other remedy is available.

This is usually interpreted as including physical violence.

I agree that ultimately, force is needed to get rid of fascism. But that doesn’t have to be physical violence, a somewhat functioning democratic system usually also has legislative force that can be used first. The German constitution was written up immediately after the horrors of the nazi regime and WWII. And it offers a lot of tools to fight fascism without physical violence. Political parties can be made illegal for example and individuals can lose their constitutional rights if they use them to destabilize the state. Of course, this won’t get rid of fascists but it may weaken them enough to not be a threat anymore.

People are protesting, among other things, for these tools to be used right now, before it’s too late and before physical violence is the only way out.
