Not for much longer unfortunately. He will likely be elected the next chancellor when early elections happen sometime in the next months. It’s also not unlikely that he will willingly form a coalition with the far-right extremist AfD that love to suck on Putin’s tit and have supported the idea of Ukraine ceding territory to Russia.

He’s a disgusting piece of shit and this is just him using Ukraine to fish for votes.

It seems like it’s still possible to disable Gatekeeper on macOS 15: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255759797

I haven’t tried it though. It’s so rare that I want to run something unsigned, I prefer leaving it enabled and then allowing whatever it is I want to run.

Bei mir hat ein Kind geklingelt. Ich voll nix gerafft und aufgemacht. War total unvorbereitet (bin gerade in ne andere Gegend umgezogen und die letzen Jahre wurde nie bei mir geklingelt). Musste dem Kind dann das einzige an Süßigkeiten geben was ich da hatte: eine Tafel Schokolade, die ich selbst essen wollte. Fuck. Hoffentlich mag das Kind Zartbitter 🙈

Yeah, but part of the trolley problem is that it’s not just about choosing the option with the least harm, but also how being active in the decision impacts the morality of the situation. Being of the opinion that letting 3 people die on one track without your intervention is better than actively choosing the death of 2 is a completely valid response to the trolley problem. You don’t have to agree that it’s the right decision, but it’s still valid.

Applying that to the election would mean deciding that letting the bigger harm that would be a Trump presidency happen is preferable to being an active participant in helping steer the metaphorical tram onto the Harris track and harming the people there.

There are no black and white answers here. That’s the whole point of the trolley problem. Everyone is going to have their own point of view and it’s going to vary depending on how they perceive the harm on each track. Like I said, if I had a vote in the US election, I’d probably vote to send the tram onto the Harris track, but my willingness to do so wouldn’t be infinite, just because the Trump track is worse. At some point the harm becomes so big, that I would refuse to be an active participant, even if inaction meant an even worse outcome. Some people (understandably) feel like that with the current choices. That doesn’t make them Trump supporters or bad people.

Are people really claiming Trump isn’t worse? I think it’s more that people think that Harris may be better than Trump (pretty low bar there), but still too bad to vote for. Voting for the lesser evil only goes so far. At some point the lesser evil is still too far from one’s own ideals that voting for them isn’t an option. Different people will obviously draw that line in different places and if I lived in the USA, I’d probably begrudgingly vote for Harris in the coming election.

Democrats basically slandering anyone who refuses to vote for their candidate as Trump supporters is fucking stupid and will hardly convince anyone to change their minds. Especially when it seems democrats have had nothing to offer the left other than “the other side is worse” for as far back as I can remember. If they want the left’s votes, they need to earn them.

Ich finde schon, dass man für Fahrräder viel Spezialwerkzeug braucht. Klar, mit nem Satz Inbusschlüsseln und ein paar Reifenhebeln kann man vieles Fixen, aber als jemand der gerne selbst an seinen Rädern schraubt habe ich mittlerweile schon einiges an Geld für Spezialwerkzeug gelassen. Aber wenigstens ist es nicht so wie bei Elektrogeräten wo dann irgendwelche Spezialschrauben genutzt werden, nur um das Leben schwer zu machen.

I’ve read about places banning their use at night because they kill hedgehogs.

Germans are complainers by nature. But when you look at what they get up to when they think they’re better than everyone else, it’s probably better that way.

Es ist halt nervig und auch aufdringlich ständig nach Bewertungen gefragt zu werden, so bald man etwas kauft, einen Service nutzt oder mit einer Kundensupporthotline telefoniert. Meistens passiert das ja dann in Form von unerwünschten Emails oder SMS. Oder bei Apps und Webseiten auch durch nervige Popups.

Ich verstehe ja, dass diese Bewertungen für die wichtig sind (nicht um den Service zu verbessern, sondern um irgendwelche Algorithmen zu befriedigen), aber es ist einfach eine weitere Form von Enshittification und unbezahlte Arbeit für Riesenkonzerne wie Google und Co.

Ein herber Schlag für den III. Weg. Hoffentlich findet sich jemand der in seine Fußstapfen tritt
