Well, he’s doing everything possible to put an end to that…

Trump […] calls Musk ‘train wreck’

I believe him: it takes one to know one.

Most people who say “Not my president” are Americans who feel ashamed. Nobody else in the world feels the need to say that because they have no reason to be ashamed.

Not my president

Sorry but he is totally your president. You can’t be in favor of the democratic process of elections and then distance yourself from the outcome.

You as a nation voted for Trump. He’s your president. You own the consequences along with all Americans.

I don’t keep up with everything he does

You should, if only to know when the ICE Gestapo might come knocking at your door or when it’s time to flee because it’s too dangerous to stay in the US.

Hmm, tell you what: maybe the migrants could live in shacks near the farm, so they wouldn’t have the difficulties of finding a place to stay without papers. And the farmer could provide basic foodstuff for them. The migrants would save on commuting and groceries.

And then to solve their undocumentated status, maybe the farmers could own the migrants: if they’re somebody’s, then they have a legal status, right?

And then we could rename the farms plantations.

Even the Waffen SS felt uncomfortable murdering innocent civilians, both in Germany and abroad. But guess what: they still did it.

That’s the power of military training. What makes you think US military will behave any different when the time comes?

Soldiers are indoctrinated into obeying orders despite their best judgment. That’s how human beings convince other human beings to voluntarily lay down their lives in someone else’s interests and against their own.

They are also told in no uncertain terms that they’ll face prison or execution if they refuse to obey.

So while they are cutely told they have a duty to disobey illegal orders, practically they are heavily biased towards doing the exact opposite.

Yes, it was a comment on what goes on in another country, for comparison.

Since when does fact-checking Trump change anything at all?

The unhinged sonofabitch literally told 30,573 lies during his first term, all documented, fact-checked and debunked, yet he’s been reelected and he’s busy turning America into the Fourth Reich completely unchecked.

You’re not gonna flip MAGA around by fact-checking Trump: nothing anybody says or writes touches a cult leader whose followers are either to entranced or too dumb to see past the lies.

Bobby Henderson is the only true prophet.

Well, America has been running another experiment for decades that has left a lot of people unable to spell - or do math, or science or think rationally and critically: the destruction of the education system.

The eye-popping expansion of the American GestapoICE, and the deployment of army and national guard within the US - since Posse Commitatus has been thrown out the window - all but ensure that there won’t be any uprising any time soon. And when there is eventually, millions will die.

Welcome to Nazi America. The Americans wanted it, they voted for it, and now they have it.

The downside is: you work for Fuckerberg.
How much is your good conscience worth, is the question.

The Nuremberg trial established that grease monkeys are on the hook for the evil they’re ordered to commit. They couldn’t hide behind the authority argument - i.e. “I was told to do so” ain’t flying when it comes to mass murder, genocide and crimes against humanity.

After the American Reich falls and Elon gets his day in court for the thousands of death his handy work on USAID and other critical agencies created, he won’t be able to use Trump as an excuse. So there is always that comforting thought…

While Canada wants nothing to do with the United States, it looks like the UK is working extra-hard to demontrate it has achieved the fascism level needed to qualify for statehood.

Oh wow, and NOBODY saw that one coming…

Perhaps the families of the victims could sue Elon Musk.
Make it a class action too.

Let’s address your points:

• bugs in apps with no community on irc/discord/matrix/xmpp to ask about (yes, i talk about you @libreoffice )

Have you ever tried asking for help on a closed source software vendor’s support forum? More often than not, it’s either dumb boilerplate that makes you feel like a mentally challenged newbie (“Try reinstalling. If the issue persists, try rebooting”) or it’s crickets because the vendor won’t communicate on its products’ flaws. As for other users, they’re just as clueless as you because they don’t have access to anymore information than you.

At least if you find a bug in open source software and you have the programming chops, you can either check the code to see what might be going on, or fix it yourself.

• assholes in communities if such exist (yes i talk about archlinux and @godot )

There are assholes in every community.

enshittification and slowly going back to not being opensource (yes i talk about @mozilla )

Enshittification is first and foremost a phenomenon that happens when a company tries to maximize its profits at everybody else’s expense. As such, it occurs much, MUCH more often in proprietary, for-profit software.

Also, way to pick the wrong example:

Firstly Mozilla is its own special kind of stupid.

Secondly, say what you will, but for all Mozilla’s, Firefox’ and Thunderbird’s faults, you can still download a good browser and a good email client for free after more than a quarter of a century. Which software vendor can you say the same thing of?

Opensource is not perfect. Nothing ever is. But always remember it’s mostly composed of people who code for free and give their work away. IMHO, the right way forward is to support the good and ignore the bad, and pitch in and contribute if you can, rather than rant.

Les Etats Unis sont maintenant un état fasciste et ICE est sa Gestapo.

If you’re confused, you’re not the only one.

This was a poster displayed at the outdoor swimming pool in the city of Büren, Westphalia that made the news because of its totally unrealistic depiction and trivialisation of sexual assault, and overuse of stereotypes.

Büren: Outdoor pool poster against attacks causes uproar

A poster from the city of Büren (D) showing a woman groping a boy with a prosthetic leg sparked a heated debate about prevention and the portrayal of perpetrators.

The town of Büren in the Paderborn district (Germany) launched a campaign to protect children and young people from sexual assault at outdoor swimming pools. The poster for the youth protection project “Summer – Sun – Safety” is now being discussed nationwide.

One poster shows a white woman grabbing the buttocks of a dark-skinned boy with a prosthetic leg in a swimming pool. Above it, the caption reads: “Stop! No groping!”

As “WELT” reports, the campaign’s mascot is a turtle named “Tiki.” The code word “Tiki” is intended to help children alert staff in an emergency.

Criticism of the poster design

The motive sparked a heated debate. Critics accused the city of Büren of portraying an unrealistic profile of the perpetrator and trivializing reality.

According to police, sexual assaults at outdoor pools are committed by men in the vast majority of cases. Critics say the posters reframe blame and obscure stereotypes, according to “Radio Hochstift.”

The city of Büren defends the campaign. Mayor Burkhard Schwuchow emphasizes that the protection of children and young people is a top priority.

Campaign and prevention concept

Every form of sexual violence must be consistently combated – regardless of who the perpetrators are. Public criticism is taken very seriously.

The city intends to communicate more sensitively and differentiatedly in the future, as Schwuchow explains to “Focus.” The poster campaign is part of a comprehensive prevention concept launched in February 2025 with local partners.

In addition to the posters, the project includes training for pool staff and educational professionals. The goal is to sensitize children to boundary violations and encourage them to seek help.

City of Büren reacts to criticism

Following massive criticism, the city of Büren removed the posters from its outdoor pool. Officials emphasize that it was never their intention to discriminate against anyone or to reframe blame.

The campaign is intended to set a proactive example for child protection and highlight diversity, as Apollo News reports. The debate surrounding the poster motif has now also attracted international attention.

The depiction is being controversially discussed on social media. The city announced that it will evaluate its communication formats and be even more sensitive in future campaigns.

You’ll be glad to hear that this famous Nazi’s company is not.
