Looks like a mirror. That account also has channels for VisualPolitik EN, FRANCE 24, LastWeekTonight with John Oliver and others

We are Europe, we have a different acronym in every language.

Nazis did Gleichschaltung, which wasn’t as much about owning, but about control. They centralized stuff, subverted and merged organizations. But indeed they also expropriate a couple of groups and looted other countries. That usually became national or party property. But people also took stuff for themselves. And they also destroyed property … like book burnings. The Nazis didn’t do well economically. It was part of their plan to loot and exploit other countries. German economy became most efficient when there were already fights on German soil, which means they didn’t work as efficiently as possible before that. England did a lot better due to having John Maynard Keynes on their side.

Is that also an EP of Boards of Canada?

But what does he think of Trans Canada Highway?

Don’t give the wrong people ideas.

Are you talking about stuff like this? https://josm.openstreetmap.de/mapsview?entry=Hesse+DOP20

According to geoportal.hessen.de Hesse DOP20 is already open data and uses DL-DE->Zero-2.0 license. Though I don’t know how it is in different states/nation wide.

These photos already look better than what Google Earth supplies and they get updated every 2 years.

And technically it surpasses it by far. You might notice that a lot of roofs look a bit weird and pixelated at the edges. They correct the position of high places to counter the camera angle. Generally the angles are also better than what Google supplies.

Why did I squint my eyes when I could’ve already read it in the preview? -.-

So you always have to take a multiple of two eggs? Well it’s unarguably visually pleasing

Factorio supports macOS and Linux so well because there has always been someone at Wube who actively uses these platforms and is willing to take on the burden of supporting it.

[…]

Factorio has supported Wayland since 1.1.77, but it needs to be explicitly enabled by setting SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland in your environment. For Factorio 2.0 I added a dropdown to select your preference in the GUI

[…]

Many of you might not be aware that Factorio has support for saving your game in the background, without freezing while it does so. This feature is tucked away in the hidden settings and only works on macOS and Linux.

Yes, “just”. DXVK as well as WineD3D try to support any game, even those who have native Linux versions. There were games in the past who dropped their Linux port (Rocket League), so it makes somewhat sense. There are/were also games who did not have cross platform multiplayer and you’d need to play the Windows version if you wanted to play with Windows gamers. Generally WineD3D (OpenGL, Vulkan) and DXVK (Vulkan) aren’t a Linux specific things, they just translate from Direct3D to OpenGL/Vulkan running on Wine, but that would work on Windows/ReactOS as well. Windows has OpenGL/Vulkan support. There are already Windows gamers who use such translation layers to play older games if it works better than Windows’ built-in backward compatibility. Even if OpenGL gets dropped by GPU drivers and even though Vulkan isn’t backwards compatible to OpenGL, it’s possible to write general OpenGL drivers who use Vulkan instead of implementing it per GPU. But another possibility would be to play a game that just has Direct3D/OpenGL support on Vulkan-only device with a translation layer like DXVK. Another factor would be games who have incomplete ports or simply games who have buggy ports.

Or replace them with newer, taller wind turbines. Turbines get higher and higher to harvest higher winds, which are more reliable if I understand it correctly. But seems these also have less fatalities … if less birds fly at that hight.

Question is if they can even see that. Such things are usually optimized for our eyes. It’s faster than our eye can handle and we blur it together, but I wouldn’t be surprised if (some) birds can see fast motions better than we do, after all they naturally travel at far higher speeds than we do.

The most direct tools the EU has is an European Citizens’ Initiative. With that citizens can directly propose a directive or regulation to the European Commission. If that goes well, citizens will meet EU officials, have a public hearing at the European Parliament to explain their initiative. Within half a year the commission has to reply, but they always can reject the proposal. It requires 1 million valid signatures and they have to be from at minimum 7 EU countries. That’s 0.2% of the voters and 25% of the member states.

That indeed differs from how a popular initiative in Switzerland works. The % of needed signatures is 5 times higher, but if it gets rejected a popular vote would follow. That kind of vote would be hard to transform into EU rules. For this Swiss popular vote a majority of given votes has to be yes, but additionally there has to be a majority in the majority of the Kantons. Switzerland already has some population differences between their Kantons, Jura has less than half the population of Zürich. In EU that is a lot more extreme, Germany has 158 times the population of Malta. In EU half of the members would be 14 countries and the smallest 14 countries only represent 11.5% of the total population.

EU doesn’t even have a uniform voting system. The elections to the European Parliament already are distorted because the value of a single vote depends on the size country it’s from. Generally it’s proportional voting, but the details differ by country and that includes whether they use open lists, semi-open lists or closed lists and they use different formulas to allocate the seats. In regard to the voting rules that is probably the most diverse vote in the world. Some countries split themselves further into parts, so different regions vote for only a part of their seats. Active (16-18) and passive (18-25) voting ages differ. Belgium has compulsory voting. When you reside in a different country you can either vote their or in your home country. Since the voting age differs, that means some can vote earlier than other citizens from their country. They don’t even vote on the same day, a few vote for longer than just one day. Availability and form of absentee voting differs. Some countries have compulsory voting. A few countries vote with single tranferable vote, some do panachage, but most do open lists.

Especially if Mexico agrees it would be okay.

That is generally complicated territory when you attack terrorist/revolutionary groups not affiliated with the state, especially when the latter lost control over the territory those groups are residing in.

But Mexico could do the same with US gangs basically if the US does that one-sidedly. And Mexicans might not like such interventions from the US. After all there is a bad history of legal and illegal US immigrants stealing Mexican territory. Coincidentally that’s also the US state that complains most about Mexican immigrants

At least on FireTV most apps work. (Not played around with AndroidTV yet)

Often they just don’t work with a remote, but you are always free to connect bluetooth/USB keyboards, mouse etc.

The official/standard app doesn’t work (well) with remotes, but F-Droid Classic works fine, though not 100% either (when an app is selected focus is not on anything visible, reading description and antifeatures doesn’t work), but installing, uninstalling, updating, filter and search work just fine.

There is also at least one list with apps that (kinda) work on AndroidTV

Though the only app I really use is Xtra, which doesn’t work with remotes. I also use KDE Connect, but I don’t remember how well it worked remotes, but once it’s running it doesn’t need any further interaction and you can send files and paste from a PC/laptop etc.

Some apps explicitly support TVs, like: Kodi, NOVA , Moonlight, BiglyBT, Shadowsocks for Android TV, Jellyfin for Android TV …

I was wrong. It works now, there is a button to get to appstore, and it’s always possible to get to apps by long pressing the home button.
