Sad, but I guess somewhat understandable given the R&D competitors are putting in.
I mean, you’re going back a to true/false dichotomy.
How did you jump from a discussion about opposing perspectives on a single, unknowable truth to “one must be right and everything else a lie”?
Very much this. I was an exchange student in the US in 2005 and my US history teacher (yes, their history classes are commonly split between us and “rest of the world”) exclusively worked with excerpts from Zinn.
I understood once I leafed through the official textbook. It was about as bad as you can imagine.
So yes, Zinn is far from “objective” or “neutral”. It’s a deliberate choice because
a) it’s supposed to counterbalance the terribly whitewashed school books and b) there’s a case to be made that no text, not even scientific ones, is ever truly objective or neutral because reality is a construct.
The latter is a more philosophical debate, but nonetheless an important one. Since there is no single objective truth, you’ll usually dare better by considering varying interpretations of “truth” before making your mind up.
In other words: you’ll never get the full picture, but if you assemble enough puzzle pieces you increase your chances of understanding the bigger picture, and, more importantly, you’ll gain a sense for when somebody is just off their rocker.
I can’t help but feel like your sampling might be skewed.
Vollautomaten (I. E. Fully automated coffee machines that brew espressos and cappuccinos etc) tend to make worse coffee, I agree. That’s why I don’t use the one in the office.
Having an experienced barista grind you an exactly measured dose fresh for your coffee at a good Café is quite nice, on the other hand.
But that’s nothing to do with Germany or Australia.
If you’d read the linked sources, you’d know that it’s not just speculation. Regardless of Telegram’s user base, it cooperates with Russian authorities. That remains true whether or not Ukranians use it to communicate. I’m not blaming Telegram for cooperating with Russian authorities as it’s well known that not doing so leads to drastic authoritarian measures.
But don’t take my word for it: Wikipedia: Blocking of Telegram in Russia
Sure, WhatsApp exposes you to US jurisdiction and Meta bullshit. At the same time, Telegram is very friendly with the Kremlin and associated intelligence services. So it basically comes down to whether you want to be spied on by Russian or US entities.

translating animal languages
“How to Use AI to Talk to Whales—and Save Life on Earth With ecosystems in crisis, engineers and scientists are teaming up to decipher what animals are saying. Their hope: By truly listening to nature, humans will decide to protect it.”
I think part of it is that movies are edited differently now. We’ve become used to much faster pacing, much denser storytelling and sweeping drone shots of everything, so older movies generally feel a bit lame now
You might want to look into Loqseq and Appflowy. I hear the cool kids today are using notion and obsidian and these two are FOSS alternatives to those.

Meine Notizen später die Woche wenn ich nicht gerade auf Arbeit bin per PN 😊
I’ve just fallen down that rabbit home in expectation of the legalization here in Germany. It you want I’ll send you my notes.
The short of it: growing outdoors might be really difficult in Germany, as you have to make sure the plot isn’t visible to passers-by or your neighbors and their kids. At least that was how it was phrased before the new revision today.
That being said, there are a number of strains that grow outdoors in Scandinavia. Professional Seed retailers like royal queen seeds have dedicated info pages and/or filters for that usually.
Googling “grow cannabis outdoor cold climate” should set you off in the right direction.
It will never not be funny to me how scared some people are of any transportation that’s not a car.
And Germany!
I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not. Well done.
Who on the left and where did they switch to H2? Because that’s news to me. Germany tried to carve out an “E-Fuel” subsidy in the EU thanks to its libertarian DOT minister, but that’s a) literally meant as a drop-in replacement for gas and b) pretty much dead on arrival.
Everything I’ve followed so far seems to indicate that while BEVs have problems, H2 ist just massively less efficient to produce, store, distribute and burn.
Lustery.com exists, fyi
I used to drive a 30yr old converted fire engine as a camper /truck thing and let me tell you they don’t like to get cold. Called ADAC (german AAA) four times in as many months before learning that these exist. From then on out come temps meant starting they motor from a power bank, not calling for help.
lots of good advice here. I just want to restate: do yourself a favor and migrate your HDDs over to any solid state drive. Whether that means “classic” SSDs with a SATA-Port or M.2s is your prerogative, but in either case you’ll start wondering how you could ever stand that s pinning noise and the vibrations and the slow, slow data transfer.
